Headline: Hamas Invites Abbas to Resume Control of Gaza

Hamas on Tuesday invited Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas to send officials to Gaza to resume control of the coastal enclave the Islamic militant group seized a decade ago. Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh said his group is serious about returning power to the Western-backed Palestinian leader and called on him to respond with “practical steps.” Hamas has said it will dismantle a contentious committee that has governed Gaza in recent months – answering a key Abbas demand. It has also said it is ready to hand over all government functions to Abbas and to hold elections in Gaza and the West Bank. “We extend a clear and frank invitation without obstacles for the consensus government to work in Gaza,” Haniyeh said after returning from Cairo, where he and other Hamas leaders held rare talks with Egyptian officials.

Headline: Abbas: UN must try to end Israeli occupation ‘within set timeframe’

In a speech to the UN General Assembly, Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas implores the UN to make efforts to end the Israeli occupation of Palestine and prevent the forfeiture of the two-state agreement. Abbas, addressing the United Nations General Assembly, warned that if the two-state solution were to be destroyed, Palestinians would have no choice but to “continue the struggle and demand full rights for all inhabitants of historic Palestine”. Abbas opened his speech by lamenting the fact that 24 years had passed since the signing of the Oslo Accords, which gave the Palestinians hope to establish their own state, and asked: “What remains of this hope today?” “We examined every option in an attempt to achieve peace, and together with the Arab states we adopted the Arab initiative, according to which Israel will withdraw from the territories and in return will gain the recognition of the Arab world. And what was Israel’s response? Not interested,” he fumed.

Egypt

Headline: Egypt’s Sisi salutes ’more than 40 years’ of peace with Israel, calls on Palestinians to ‘overcome differences’

Egypt’s more than 40 years of peace with Israel can be repeated in the Palestinian territories if Palestinian Arabs are willing to overcome their differences with Israelis and one another, Egyptian President Abdul Fatah Sisi said in an address to the UN General Assembly on Sept. 19. Addressing Israelis, Sisi said, “We have an excellent experience in Egypt in peace with you for longer than 40 years.” The 1979 peace accord between Israel and Egypt marked the first time an Arab nation signed a treaty with Israel. “We can repeat this experience and this excellent step once again – the peace and security of the Israeli citizens together with the peace and security of the Palestinian citizens,” Sisi said. “I tell the Palestinian people it’s extremely important … to overcome the differences and not to lose opportunities and to be ready to accept co-existence with the other, with Israelis in safety and security.” Sisi addressed the General Assembly hours after he met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. It was the first time Sisi and Netanyahu have held public talks. They twice met for closed-door talks in 2016. A statement by Netanyahu’s office following the meeting said the two leaders held a “comprehensive discussion about the problems of the region.”

Syria

Headline: Extremists launch big attack on Syrian government near Hama

Extremists launched an offensive against government-held parts of northwestern Syria near Hama on Tuesday in their biggest attack there since March, triggering heavy air strikes on rebel territory, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said. It said air strikes hit three hospitals, a medical centre and premises used by a rescue service in rebel-held Idlib. A Syrian military source denied the report, saying only insurgent convoys and positions had been hit. A Syrian army source cited by state media said the attack launched on several fronts was being repelled, and the insurgents had suffered losses. “The clashes are continuing and the air force and artillery are targeting the headquarters and movements of the terrorist convoys in the area,” said the source. An insurgent source told Reuters that rebels were making advances in the northern Hama countryside, in an area where President Bashar Assad and his allies have been steadily rolling back rebel gains over the last two years. The observatory said insurgents taking part in the assault included Tahrir Al Sham, the extremist Turkistan Islamic Party, and rebels fighting under the banner of the Free Syrian Army. They had captured four villages, it said.

Iraq

Headline:  Iraqi forces ‘attack last IS bastion on Syria border

Iraqi forces are reported to have launched an operation to recapture the last stronghold of so-called Islamic State in the country’s western desert. A military source told the BBC that soldiers, Anbar provincial police and Sunni Arab tribal fighters began moving on the town of Ana on Tuesday morning. Their progress was slowed initially by dozens of booby-traps, the source said. The Iraqi military source said the assault on Ana and its surrounding district was being supported by US-led coalition air strikes and military advisers on the ground. Coalition warplanes had destroyed an explosives-packed car driven by a suicide bomber shortly after the start of the operation, the source added. After retaking Ana, the troops will target Rawa, 12km (7.5 miles) to the north, and then al-Qaim, the last town before the border with Syria.

Headline: Erdogan says Turkey to consider sanctions over Kurdish independence vote

Turkey will consider imposing sanctions on Kurdish northern Iraq over its planned independence referendum, President Tayyip Erdogan was cited by state-run Anadolu news agency as saying.
Turkey escalated its opposition to the Kurdish referendum on Tuesday, training tank guns and rocket launchers across the southern border and saying the break-up of its neighbors could lead to global conflict. Erdogan, who is attending the United Nations General Assembly in New York, told world leaders on Tuesday that the referendum in northern Iraq could lead to fresh conflicts in the Middle East. Speaking to reporters outside his hotel, Erdogan said Turkey’s national security council and cabinet would discuss potential sanctions on northern Iraq when they meet on Friday.

Turkey

Headline: Erdogan Ready to Send More Troops to Syria, Praises Russian Role

Turkey is ready to send more troops into Syria, where it’s working with Russia to bring an end to more than six years of civil war, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said. “Our soldiers on the border are ready for a mission at any moment,’’ Erdogan said at the Bloomberg Global Business Forum in New York. He said the Turkish army, which has fought with Islamic State jihadists and Kurdish militants in northern Syria since August last year, will expand or reduce its forces there depending on what’s required.Erdogan said his country, a NATO member, is “achieving a result’’ by working with Russia in Syria. He said that Turkey had extensive talks on the issue with the U.S. during the Obama administration, “but couldn’t get any results.’’ The Turkish president, who’s due to meet his U.S. counterpart Donald Trump on Thursday at the United Nations summit in New York, said he’ll hold further discussions with Russia’s Vladimir Putin when the two leaders have dinner next week.

Iran

Headline: ‘Time to correct US miscalculations:’ Iran’s army chief vows ‘painful response’ to Trump’s UN speech

The US will see “painful responses” from Iran following the accusations made by President Donald Trump in his speech at the UN General Assembly, the commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps, Major General Mohammad Ali Jafari, said. “Taking a decisive stance against Trump is just the beginning. What is strategically important is that the United States faces more painful responses in the actions, behavior and decisions that Iran takes in the coming months,” Jafari said in a statement, as cited by Sepah News, the media outlet of the Revolutionary Guards. He went on to say that Trump revealed the “true face” of the US, which is that of a “corrupt and bullying state,” to the whole world when he made “slanderous accusations against Iran” in his UN speech. “Today, the world sees the same image of the United States that Iran has been trying to reveal for many years,” the major general added. In his speech on Tuesday, Trump called Iran a “depleted rogue state whose chief exports are violence, bloodshed, and chaos,” saying that it funds “terrorists that kill innocent Muslims and attack their peaceful Arab and Israeli neighbors.” He also slammed the 2015 nuclear deal with Iran as “one of the worst and most one-sided transactions” in US history. In his Wednesday statement, Jafari expressed his hope that Iranian President Hassan Rouhani would give “a decisive” answer to these accusations and urged the government to “use all options to defend the interests of the Iranian nation.”“It is time to correct the miscalculations of the United States,” he said.

Afghanistan

Headline: Trump is sending more than 3,000 troops to Afghanistan

Secretary of Defense Jim Mattis announced on September 18 that the US will send more than 3,000 troops to Afghanistan in an effort to win America’s 16-year war there — the longest in US history. It’s also a reversal for President Trump, who entered office promising to minimize America’s involvement abroad. They will add to the approximately 11,000 US troops already serving in Afghanistan, bringing the total to at least 14,000. These new service members will help Afghan forces in their effort to defeat the nearly 20 terrorist groups in the country — especially the Taliban, ISIS, and al-Qaeda — by advising them and providing artillery and air support. The announcement comes less than a month after Trump outlined his war strategy in a high-profile August 21 speech in front of around 2,000 troops at Fort Myer, Virginia. Trump said the US would win the war but didn’t disclose when US troops would come home. “Conditions on the ground, not arbitrary timetables, will guide our strategy from now on,” he said in his remarks, which were heavy on harsh rhetoric but strikingly light on details.

Headline: Angry protests in Barcelona as Catalan referendum crisis deepens

Headline: Spanish police seize millions of Catalan referendum ballots

Thousands of people took to the streets of Barcelona on Wednesday as police detained 14 Catalan government officials ahead of an independence referendum deemed illegal by Madrid. Shouting “we will vote” and “no pasaran” (Spanish for “they shall not pass”), the protesters refused to move as the day wore on, further angered by news that police had seized “close to 10 million ballot papers” destined for the October 1 vote. Over in Madrid, supporters of the referendum in Catalonia, a region deeply divided over independence, prepared to gather Wednesday evening in the central Puerta del Sol square known for hosting scores of anti-austerity protests during the Spanish economic crisis. Spain’s conservative Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy called for calm, while his government’s spokesman accused separatists of “looking for legitimacy they don’t have in street protests”. But Catalan President Carles Puigdemont retorted that Madrid had imposed a “de facto” state of emergency to stop the referendum.

Headline: Earthquake death toll climbs to 225 in Mexico

Rescuers searched massive piles of rubble for any signs of life Wednesday morning after dozens of buildings collapsed across central Mexico in Tuesday’s violent earthquake, which killed at least 225 people, injured at least 1,000 and caused chaos in Mexico’s capital. Firefighters, soldiers and volunteers worked through the night clearing debris and scrambling to find survivors, at times working with bare hands and donated flashlights. There were a few moments of relief when several still-breathing, dust-covered survivors were pulled from the wreckage and transported to hospitals. But many others were found dead. At least 20 children and two adults died when a three-story school collapsed on the south side of the city. At least two children had been rescued, but up to 30 others and eight adults were still missing, said Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto.

Headline: Maria knocks out power, triggers flooding in Puerto Rico

The strongest hurricane to hit Puerto Rico in over 80 years tore off roofs and doors, knocked out power across the entire island and unleashed heavy flooding Wednesday in an onslaught that could plunge the U.S. territory deeper into financial crisis. Leaving at least nine people dead in its wake across the Caribbean, Hurricane Maria blew ashore in the morning in the southeast coastal town of Yabucoa as a Category 4 storm with winds of 155 mph (250 kph). It was expected to punish the island of 3.4 million people with life-threatening winds for 12 to 24 hours. As people waited it out in shelters or took cover inside stairwells, bathrooms and closets, Maria brought down cell towers and power lines, snapped trees and unloaded at least 20 inches (50 centimeters) of rain. Widespread flooding was reported, with dozens of cars half-submerged in some neighborhoods and many streets turned into rivers. People calling local radio stations reported that doors were being torn off their hinges and a water tank flew away. As of 2 p.m. EDT, Maria had weakened to a Category 3, with winds of 115 mph (185 kph). It was off Puerto Rico’s northwestern coast, moving at about 15 mph (20 kph), and was expected to pass off the coast of the Dominican Republic late Wednesday and Thursday.

Bahrain’s King Hamad bin Isa al Khalifa has denounced the Arab boycott of Israel and said his subjects are free to visit the Jewish state. The statement by the head of the Persian Gulf country, which does not have diplomatic relations with Israel, was revealed at a multi-national event last week in Los Angeles, hosted by the city’s Simon Wiesenthal Center. At the event, Rabbis Marvin Hier and Abraham Cooper, who head the Wiesenthal Center, revealed the king’s pronouncements made to them during their visit to Manama, Bahrain’s capital city, in early 2017.

Headline: In overture to Fatah, Hamas agrees to dissolve its governing body in Gaza

In an overture to its rival Fatah, Hamas agreed on Sunday to dissolve its governing body in the Gaza Strip, allow the West Bank-based Palestinian Authority government to take over in its place and hold general elections. For the past several months, Fatah and its chairman Mahmoud Abbas have called on Hamas to announce and implement such a plan.
Since Hamas ousted the Fatah-dominated Palestinian Authority from Gaza in 2007, Hamas and Fatah have essentially established two separate governments – one Hamasrun government in Gaza and another led by the PA in the West Bank. While the two parties have signed a number of reconciliation agreements aimed at creating one shared government, they have failed to implement any of them. Hamas’s announcement on Sunday followed separate talks in Cairo last week between Egyptian and Fatah officials and between Egyptian and Hamas officials. The groups of Fatah and Hamas officials were still in the Egyptian capital, Cairo, on Sunday evening.

Iran

Headline: Iranian official: We have the ‘father of all bombs’

A senior official in Iran’s Revolutionary Guards claimed over the weekend that Iran is in possession of what he described as the “father of all bombs”. According to the official, Brigadier General Amir Ali Hajizadeh, Iran has produced a domestically-made 10-ton bomb with a high destructive power. “Following a proposal by the Aerospace Force of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC), Iran’s Defense Industries Organization manufactured a 10-ton bomb; these bombs are at our disposal and can be launched from Ilyushin aircraft and they are highly destructive,” Hajizadeh said, according to a report in the semiofficial Fars news agency. The commander pointed to the ordnance as Iran’s “father of all bombs” as compared with the GBU-43/B Massive Ordnance Air Blast Bomb (MOAB), also known as the “mother of all bombs,” which the U.S. Air Force dropped on Islamic State (ISIS) targets in Afghanistan in April. Hajizadeh also claimed that in recent years, the IRGC has penetrated into U.S. military command centers and has evidence of their support for ISIS terrorists.

St. Louis Riot police arrested dozens Sunday night following the latest round of clashes with demonstrators protesting the acquittal of a white police officer in the shooting death of a black man. At least 80 arrests were made in what was the third night of violence in the city, with hundreds of people protesting Friday’s court decision that found Jason Stockley, a 36-year-old cop, not guilty in the 2011 death of Anthony Lamar Smith. The verdict has enraged some of the city’s residents, prompting daily protests that at times turned violent. Both Friday and Saturday, the protesters got agitated and confronted the police officers. Thirty were arrested on Saturday night. On Sunday, hundreds marched through the downtown streets of St. Louis. Despite the march remaining peaceful in the early hours amid the deployment of massive police forces, the protest turned violent by nightfall after roughly 100 protesters became confrontational while marching towards the center of downtown.

Bello Dambatta, head of rescue operations for the Borno State Emergency Management Agency, said women were the majority of those killed in the Monday morning attack and the toll is likely to rise. Dambatta also said most of the victims were evacuated to medical facilities in Maiduguri and Konduga. Bunu Bukar, Secretary of the Hunters Association in Borno State, said three suicide bombers staged the attack after gunshots got villagers to run. The village is not far from the Mandarari Internal Displacement Camp that was attacked in August, he said.

Headline: Moscow rejects Israeli request for buffer zone in Syria

Headline: Israeli official denies Moscow rebuffed plea to keep Iran away from border

Russia rejected a request from Jerusalem for a 60-kilometer buffer zone between the Golan Heights and any Iranian-backed militias in Syria, and is only promising that the Shi’ite fighters would not come any closer to Israel than 5 kilometers, according to media reports late on Thursday night. The news of the Kremlin’s rejection broke in advance of Netanyahu’s meeting with Trump in New York on Monday. It also came as a senior Russian negotiator said that Russia, Turkey and Iran are close to finalizing an agreement on creating four de-escalation zones in Syria. The prime minister has repeatedly warned about Iran’s expanding influence in Syria. In an interview with CNN on Tuesday, he said, “Aside from trying to build atomic bombs,” Tehran is “trying to place the Iranian Army in Syria. They want to colonize Syria the way they colonized Lebanon.”

Wadea is located in Abyan province, which for months was a no-go zone for pro-government troops and where Al-Qaeda fighters fled after a similar offensive in the neighboring province of Shabwa last month. Seven suspected Al-Qaeda members were arrested during the Wadea operation, which began on Wednesday, including an alleged explosives expert known as Abu Abdallah, according to the sources.

At least 60 people have been killed in two attacks in southern Iraq, police and health officials say. A suicide bomber detonated a vest and gunmen opened fire inside a restaurant near Nasiriya, capital of Dhiqar province, security sources said. Soon afterwards, a car bomb exploded at a nearby checkpoint. So-called Islamic State said it carried out the attacks. Shia Muslim pilgrims including Iranians were killed by the suspected militants. According to news agency AFP, one report said the attackers were disguised as members of Hashd al-Shaabi (Popular Mobilisation) – a mainly Shia group that has fought alongside Iraqi forces against IS. The attackers struck at midday local time (09:00 GMT) in stolen army vehicles. “One attacker blew up his suicide vest inside the crowded restaurant while a group of other gunmen started to throw grenades and fire at diners,” said police colonel Ali Abdul Hussain, quoted by Reuters. At least seven Iranians were among the dead, health officials said, adding that more than 90 people were injured.

Headline: Togo Protesters Press Demands for Constitutional Reform

Lawmakers in Togo began debating presidential term limits Friday, after days of protests calling for constitutional reform and the departure of the ruling family. The West African nation has been ruled by one family for 50 years, and its current president, Faure Gnassingbé, has held power since 2005. Gnassingbé’s opponents are demanding a two-term limit for presidents, two rounds of voting in elections and the right of the Togolese diaspora to vote. The demonstrations began on September 6, and security forces have used tear gas and physical force, most recently on Wednesday, to disperse the crowds. Government supporters have organized counter protests to voice support for the ruling party. Opposition leaders organized a walkout from parliament earlier this week after participating in a special session to address the constitutional crisis. That session ended abruptly following heated debate. During the September 6 protests, Amnesty International reported that the leader of an opposition party was confined to his house, which was surrounded by security forces. During earlier protests in August, two were killed and 28 people sentenced to prison terms, Amnesty said. The government also shut down internet access.

Headline: Home-made bomb injures 22 on packed London commuter train

Islamic State has claimed responsibility for a blast on Friday that injured 22 people on a packed commuter train on the London underground network, the militant group’s Amaq news agency said. A home-made bomb on a packed rush-hour commuter train in London engulfed a carriage in flames and injured 22 people on Friday in Britain’s fifth major terrorism incident this year, but apparently failed to fully explode. Passengers heading into the British capital fled in panic after the blast as the train was about to depart Parsons Green underground station in West London at 8.20 a.m. (0720 GMT). Some suffered burns and others were injured in a stampede to escape but health officials said none were thought to be in a serious condition. “We now assess that this was a detonation of an improvised explosive device,” Britain’s top counter-terrorism officer Mark Rowley told reporters. Police said a hunt involving hundreds of detectives backed by the intelligence services was underway to find out who was responsible. Rowley declined to say if the suspected bomber had been on the train, saying it was a live investigation.

Headline: North Korea Fires Another Missile Over Japan

Headline: U.N. Security Council to meet after North Korea fires another missile over Japan

Sirens in Japan went off on Friday after North Korea fired what is believed to be a medium-range ballistic missile over the northern Japanese island of Hokkaido on Friday. The missile was fired from the district of Sunan in the North Korean capital of Pyongyang, home to the country’s main airport. In what was the longest recorded flight by a North Korean missile, Friday’s launch flew a total of about 2,300 miles, reaching an altitude of 480 miles before falling into the Pacific Ocean. This indicates that the US military base on Guam at a distance of 2,100 miles from North Korea, is within striking distance. A second North Korean missile launched at the same time landed in the sea in the initial stages. The act of aggression came one day after the North Korean government issued a statement threatening to “sink” the Japan and turn the US “into ashes and darkness”. The Korea Asia-Pacific peace committee, which oversees North Korea’s relations with the outside world, issued a statement on Thursday saying, “The four islands of the [Japanese] archipelago should be sunken into the sea by the nuclear bomb of [North Korea],” the committee said in a statement carried by the official KCNA news agency, adding, “Japan is no longer needed to exist near us.” South Korea y responded by launching two missiles into the sea as a show of force while the North Korean missile was still in the air. Though the South Korean missile was not aimed at North Korea, the South Korean Joint Chiefs of Staff said to the media that it was capable of striking the Sunan airport launch site near Pyongyang used for today’s launch.

Headline: Venezuela Stops Accepting Dollars For Oil Payments

Apparently confirming what President Maduro had warned following the recent US sanctions, The Wall Street Journal reports that Venezuela has officially stopped accepting US Dollars as payment for its crude oil exports. As we previously noted, Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro said last Thursday that Venezuela will be looking to “free” itself from the U.S. dollar next week. According to Reuters, “Venezuela is going to implement a new system of international payments and will create a basket of currencies to free us from the dollar,” Maduro said in a multi-hour address to a new legislative “superbody.” He reportedly did not provide details of this new proposal. Maduro hinted further that the South American country would look to using the yuan instead, among other currencies.“If they pursue us with the dollar, we’ll use the Russian ruble, the yuan, yen, the Indian rupee, the euro,” Maduro also said. And today, as The Wall Street Journal reports, in an effort to circumvent U.S. sanctions, Venezuela is telling oil traders that it will no longer receive or send payments in dollars, people familiar with the new policy said. Oil traders who export Venezuelan crude or import oil products into the country have begun converting their invoices to euros. The state oil company Petróleos de Venezuela SA, known as PdVSA, has told its private joint venture partners to open accounts in euros and to convert existing cash holdings into Europe’s main currency, said one project partner.The new payment policy hasn’t been publicly announced, but Vice President Tareck El Aissami, who has been blacklisted by the U.S., said Friday, “To fight against the economic blockade there will be a basket of currencies to liberate us from the dollar.” There is no major market reaction for now – a modest bid to Bitcoin and some weakness in EUR and Gold (seems someone wants this to look like nothing).

Prophecy Sign- Matthew 24:7 Jesus gives us the warning about pestilences and as of late massive locust infestations have been reported. This most recent infestation comes in the same manner as the one report in July of this year which can also see below.

Headline: Locust ‘Plague’ of Biblical Proportions Strikes Across Globe

In addition to the recent hurricanes and earthquakes, at least one of the plagues of Egypt has returned as swarms of locusts descended en masse on two separate parts of the globe in recent weeks. A plague of locusts attacked South Eastern Trinidad last week. “People are scared and are panicking because of the amount of locusts. I won’t say this is the first time we have seen locusts, but it is the first time seeing it in such a magnitude,” Chairman of the Mayaro/Rio Claro Regional Corporation Glenn Ram was quoted in the Trinidad Express as saying.

Ismail Haniyeh, the top leader of Gaza-ruling terror group Hamas, announced Monday that his organization is prepared to form a unity government with Palestinian Authority (PA) President Mahmoud Abbas’s Fatah party, without preconditions. Hamas is ready “to hold a dialogue with Fatah in Cairo immediately, to come to an agreement and set the terms for its implementation,” said Haniyeh in a statement published on the terror group’s official website. Haniyeh made the announcement from Cairo after arriving in Egypt Saturday in his first trip outside of the coastal territory since being selected to his new leadership post for Hamas in May.During his visit to Cairo, Haniyeh also reportedly took part in various meetings with Egyptian security officials. Senior Hamas members based outside of Gaza were also part of the terror group’s delegation, including Moussa Abu Marzouk and arch-terrorist Saleh al-Arouri.

Headline: Jordan demands Israel to keep hands off Al Aqsa Mosque

Jordan on Tuesday condemned an Israeli court decision to close one of Al Aqsa Mosque/Al Haram Al Sharif gates called “Al Rahma Gate”, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported. State Minister for Media Affairs Mohammad Momani stressed that Israeli judiciary has no jurisdiction over East Jerusalem’s holy places including Al Aqsa Mosque as the old city is labelled as an occupied land under the international law. Momani, who is also the government spokesperson, said that Israel, the occupying force, must respect international conventions. He added that Jordan rejects the illegal Israeli attempts to impose its laws on the mosque, which is a blatant violation to relevant international laws and part of the Israeli policies that aim to change the historical status quo of the holy shrine. The minister said that the plea that the Israeli forces presented to an Israeli magistrate court on the basis of the Israeli anti-terrorism law would have serious consequences as it targets the mosque and the Awqaf Department of Jerusalem. Momani demanded Israel to reverse the “provocative decision, respect its commitments to the international law and the jurisdiction of the Jerusalem Awqaf Department, which is the only authorised entity to administer the affairs of Al Aqsa Mosque”.

Headline: Syria war has been won: Nasrallah

Hezbollah Secretary-General Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah said that the “axis of resistance” had won the Syrian conflict that was now largely over, local media reported Tuesday. “We have won the war [in Syria] and what remains are just sporadic battles,” Nasrallah was quoted as saying during a Hezbollah event in the Al-Akhbar newspaper. “Our martyrs, wounded, detainees and people are changing equations and are making a future for the region, not just [for] Lebanon.” Al-Akhbar also said that Nasrallah had revealed that soon after the start of the Syrian crisis in 2011, he traveled to Iran to meet the country’s senior leadership and discuss how they would proceed. The Hezbollah leader added that numerous plans for the region had failed but the “axis of resistance” had won. The “axis of resistance” refers to Iran, Syria, and Hezbollah. “The course of our project, for which we endured a lot of harm, is the course of victory and the great results will change equations that benefit the nation,” Nasrallah said.

Egypt’s military says two conscripts and five militants have been killed in a shootout at a military checkpoint in restive northern Sinai Peninsula. Military spokesman Col. Tamer el-Rifai says the shootout, which also wounded two militants, took place early Wednesday morning after a militant wearing a belt of explosives attempted to “storm” the checkpoint. He gave no further details. Security officials said the attack took place just outside the border town of Rafah and that the two conscripts died when the suicide bomber blew himself up.

Headline: Syria Signs Aleppo Power Plant Contract With Iran

Syria’s government signed a contract with an Iranian company on Tuesday to import five gas-fired power plants to the war-battered city of Aleppo, in an early sign of the major role Tehran is expected to play in Syria’s reconstruction. The deal, reported by Syria’s state news agency SANA, is part of a broader understanding reached by Damascus and Tehran promising Iranian companies contracts to restore electrical infrastructure in Syria, Electricity Minister Zuhair Kharboutli said during a visit to Tehran. The Aleppo contract was awarded to the Iranian firm Mabna and is valued at around 130 million euros, according to a Kharboutli statement carried Sunday by SANA. Kharboutli also signed memorandums with Iranian Energy Minister Sattar Mahmoudi promising to import five plants to provide 540 megawatts of electricity to the coastal Latakia province, as well as to build wind and solar plants, and to restore plants in Deir el-Zour and Homs.

Headline:  Syria army tries to encircle ISIS in Deir al-Zor: Military source

After breaking an ISIS blockade, Syria’s army is seeking to encircle the remaining extremist-held parts of Deir al-Zor city, a military source said Wednesday. The city is the capital of oil-rich eastern Deir al-Zor province, regarded as a strategic prize by both Russian-backed Syrian troops and US-backed fighters. Last week, Syria’s army and allied fighters broke a years-long ISIS siege of Deir al-Zor, entering two regime-held sections of the city that had been cut off from each other. Since then, the army has brought reinforcements to the city and is seeking to oust ISIS from eastern neighborhoods that run along the Euphrates river, which slices diagonally through the province. “The army is seeking to encircle Daesh from three sides by controlling the parts of the western bank of the Euphrates river,” the source told AFP, using the Arabic acronym for ISIS. Troops would target riverside territory on the city’s northwestern edges as well as strategic areas on its southern outskirts, including the key military airport and the village of Al-Jafra, on the banks of the Euphrates.

Iraq

Headline: Most brutal battle against ISIS in Iraq yet to happen: a town that even the US could not conquer

The most brutal battle against ISIS in Iraq is yet to take place. The location of this battle is not in central Iraq where a pro-government offensive is now imminent. Instead it will be near Iraq’s western border with Syria at town called Al-Qa’im. What will make this engagement so brutal is not so much that ISIS has a particularly huge amount forces prepared to defend Al-Qa’im, although several thousand militants can nonetheless be expected to participate in the battle. Rather it will be so due to the that fact the terrorist group enjoys universal support from the population of Al-Qa’im which has in excess of one hundred thousand residents. Accounting for the countryside and smaller towns around Al-Qa’im whose residents are also universally pro-ISIS, the 100,000 sympathizers number quickly increases to about half a million.

Turkey

Headline: Turkey Will Take Its Own Security Measures After Russia Defense Deal: Erdogan

President Tayyip Erdogan on Wednesday dismissed NATO allies’ concern over Turkey’s deal to buy a missile defense system from Russia and said Ankara would continue to take the security measures it thought right. Turkey, whose relations with its allies have frayed in recent months, said it opted for the S-400 because Western companies had offered no “financially effective” alternative. But NATO officials have voiced disquiet over the purchase of missiles incompatible with alliance systems. “They went crazy because we made the S-400 agreement. What were we supposed to do, wait for you? We are taking and will take all our measures on the security front,” Erdogan said in a speech in Ankara. Western firms which had bid for the contract included U.S. firm Raytheon (RTN.N), which put in an offer with its Patriot missile defense system. Franco-Italian group Eurosam, owned by the multinational European missile maker MBDA and France’s Thales TCFP.PA, came second in the tender. Turkey, with the second-largest army in the alliance, has enormous strategic importance for NATO, abutting as it does Syria, Iraq and Iran. But the relationship has become fractious.

Headline: Large-scale protests against tax increases turn violent in Haiti

Demonstrators protesting new tax increases in Haiti turned violent — burning cars and throwing rocks at police — in several areas of the capital of Port-au-Prince. The violent protest Tuesday was the biggest demonstration by Haitian citizens since President Jovenal Moise took office in February. The demonstrations were called for by former presidential candidate Jean-Charles Moise after lawmakers approved an unpopular budget hours before Hurricane Irma arrived Friday. The hurricane damaged about 8,000 homes in northern Haiti. The new budget includes higher taxes on purchases, including cigarettes and alcohol, and a new tax to be paid before citizens can access government services. At the same time, it also includes a 74 percent increase in salaries, cars, staff and per diem payments for government legislators. Protesters erected burning barricades in streets and faced riot police who were firing tear gas and warning shots. Police said seven people were arrested.

The South Korean military announced Wednesday that it had successfully carried out its first test of an advanced “Taurus” cruise missile that could be used in a preemptive strike against North Korea. The precision weapon was launched from an F15-K warplane at a target off South Korea’s west coast, the military said. The Taurus is said to have a range of 500 km and a maximum speed of nearly 1,200 kph. Seoul has been considering ways of preempting a possible North Korean nuclear attack in the aftermath of Pyongyang’s most powerful nuclear test on September 3. The North’s claim that it detonated a hydrogen bomb has yet to be confirmed.

Headline: Planned Parenthood Teams up with Satanists to Promote Abortion in Missouri

Missouri has reportedly doubled its abortion capacity this year “thanks to the Satanic Temple and Planned Parenthood,” who have worked in tandem to fight the state’s restrictions on abortion. With some of the most clearly defined regulations on abortion in the nation, Missouri had managed to lower the number of abortion facilities to a single clinic, but a second Missouri clinic opened its doors recently and two others plan on following soon. Planned Parenthood has battled against state regulations requiring abortion clinics to meet the same surgical center standards as full hospitals and for their doctors to have hospital privileges, and in April a federal court sided with the abortion giant. U.S. District Judge Howard Sachs granted a preliminary injunction invalidating requirements for the state’s abortion clinics to meet standards for surgical centers and for their doctors to have hospital privileges, citing a U.S. Supreme Court ruling striking down similar restrictions in Texas, which deemed those laws unnecessary and unconstitutional.

 The Last Chronicles of Planet Earth Sept. 6, 2017 Edition written by Frank DiMora

Now that you watched my video let me state that I truly believe that the rapture of the Church will take place on the Feast of Trumpets. However, what year is the question? Each year I warn people in my Church and at my web sites to get ready to meet the Lord just in case.   If anyone where to be looking for the rapture this year it would be on the real Feast of Trumpets day which this year is based on the Jewish calendar September 20th 2017 not on the day in which Scott Clarke is suggesting.  In the back of my mind there is still the problem of the Antichrist has to be revealed first as stated by the Apostle Paul.   I would love to see Jesus pick up His Trumpet on the 20th of September to call the Church home but something inside of me is saying it isn’t the time. However, it could mean that Jesus is going to do something else on this day such as fulfilling the confirming of the 7 year covenant with Israel or, who knows maybe even a major war against Israel.  I wish I could give you all a concrete answer to the dates between September 20th and September the 23rd. 

There is one video I found very interesting. I liked this video because the Pastor used facts that already occurred in the past to point to getting ready for the rapture.  In Pastor Mark Biltz’s video below you will see he gives the same date for the Feast of Trumpets this year as I pointed out to you. Mark does mention the Rev. 12 sign but as you will see from him that sign comes after this years Feast of Trumpets. Mark even tells his audience the same thing I tell mine which is, each year around the Feast of Trumpets he gets ready just in case Jesus has chosen this year to call the Church out.  I know that on the 24th of this September all of us will know for sure if the Antichrist has to be revealed first before the Church can go home. If September 20-the 23 comes and goes and there was no rapture that will seal the deal I believe that the man of sin will be revealed before the rapture. 

I know that someone may say, “Frank that means you don’t believe what Jesus says that the Man of sin has to be revealed first?”   What if the Man of sin was already revealed and we missed it? That would be the only way the Church could be called out then.  I never question what Jesus says and, as I said, I do believe the Church will know who the Antichrist is by his confirming that 7 year covenant found in Daniel 9:27.  I will be glad when the 24th of September comes because either I will be in Heaven with Jesus with all the true believers or, I will be back at this post to try and help all those people who counted on the rapture of the Church to truly take place on the 23rd as Clarke has shown in his many videos.

Headline: Fatah Official: Abbas to Ask UN General Assembly to Determine Borders of Palestinian State

Fatah chief and Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas is expected to call on the UN General Assembly to determine Palestinian state borders when it convenes in two weeks, according to Dalal Salama, a member of Fatah’s Central Committee. As stated by Salama, Fatah’s Central Committee is scheduled to meet on Tuesday to discuss the Palestinian president’s message for the UN before Abbas travels to New York to address the General Assembly. The focus of Abbas’ speech, according to Salama, will be, “the need to turn the country of Palestine from a UN member state to a real state. The president will call on the UN to determine the borders of the Palestinian state. “The call to dictate the borders is already established in UN resolutions,” said Salama. “But we expect a clear and official decision from the UN that will clarify the decision in order to deal with the settlement policy of the occupation in the West Bank and Jerusalem and in order to deal with the occupation’s plan to divide the Gaza Strip from the West Bank. That’s why we want the UN to establish the borders of our independent country.”

DEBKAfile’s military sources report that the Syrian army’s 5^th Corps units and Hizballah elite brigades Sunday began taking over the Jordanian frontier, including sections close to the Syrian border with Israel. Neither the Jordanian army nor the IDF intervened. Seeing the rebel groups of southeastern and western Syria crumbling, Assad’s army and Hizballah marched in. Our sources say the Syrian Free Army (FSA), backed by the US, Israel and Jordan, is disbanding, some of its members crossing the lines to join up with the Syrian army in the Syrian-Jordanian-Iraqi border triangle. The rebel forces which held the line near the Israeli border, in such places as Quneitra, are now cut off and expected to disperse before long.

Syrian government forces and U.S.-backed militias converged on Islamic State in separate offensives against the militants in the eastern Syrian province of Deir al-Zor on Sunday. The U.S.-backed Syrian Democratic Forces alliance of mostly Kurdish and Arab militias (SDF) said it had reached Deir al-Zor’s industrial zone, just a few miles to the east of the city after launching operations in the area in recent days. The Syrian army and its allies, backed by Iran and by Russian air cover, meanwhile advanced from the west to seize full control of the Deir al-Zor-Damascus highway, a Hezbollah-run media unit reported. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitoring group said at least 17 civilians had been killed by Russian air strikes in Deir al-Zor on Sunday. The attacks squeezed Islamic State in its last major Syria stronghold in areas near the border with Iraq.

The president of Iraqi Kurdistan has signalled it will draw the borders of a future Kurdish state if Baghdad does not accept a vote for independence in a referendum due later this month. Massoud Barzani told the BBC he wanted to reach an agreement with the central government if Kurds opted to secede. Iraq’s prime minister has rejected the referendum as unconstitutional. Mr Barzani also warned the Kurds would fight any group that tried to change the “reality” in Kirkuk by force. Kurdish Peshmerga forces have taken control of the oil-rich city, which has large Arab and Turkmen populations, and other areas claimed by Baghdad over the past three years while driving out the jihadist group Islamic State. Shia militias have said they will not allow Kirkuk to be part of an independent Kurdistan.

An Iranian military ship has reportedly confronted an American warship in the Gulf, warning it off Iranian territory following increased tensions between the two nations. The US ship turned back upon receiving a warning to stay away from a damaged Iranian fishing boat, according to the Tasnim news agency. The Iranian ship then towed the fishing boat, which had sent out a distress signal after taking on water, back to shore. The agency did not specify when the incident, close to the Strait of Hormuz, took place. The US Naval Forces Central Command (Navcent) appeared to play down the incident when it denied that any direct contact was made. It said in a statement the coastal patrol USS Tempest, operating in the Gulf of Oman on 6 September, heard the distress call of an unidentified small boat about 75 nautical miles from its position.

A draft of the U.N. sanctions circulated last week. “The forthcoming measures to be taken by [North Korea] will cause the U.S. the greatest pain and suffering it had ever gone through in its entire history,” the foreign ministry said in the statement.

Headline: Who: Over 500 dead as Congo cholera epidemic spreads

More than 500 people have died so far in a cholera epidemic that is sweeping the Democratic Republic of Congo, the World Health Organization (WHO) said. Outbreaks of the water-borne disease occur regularly in Congo, mainly due to poor sanitation and a lack of access to clean drinking water. But this year’s epidemic, which has already hit at least 10 urban areas including the capital Kinshasa, is particularly worrying as it comes as about 1.4 million people have been displaced by violence in the central Kasai region. The WHO said at least 528 people had died and the epidemic had spread to 20 of Congo’s 26 provinces. “The risk of spread remains very high towards the Grand Kasai region, where degraded sanitary and security conditions further increase vulnerability in the face of the epidemic,” the WHO said in a statement. So far, health officials have recorded more than 24,000 suspected cases of the disease across the vast nation this year, averaging more than 1,500 new cases per week since the end of July.

Headline:  Hurricane Irma: Caribbean islands left with trail of destruction

Before hitting Florida, Hurricane Irma caused catastrophic damage across the Caribbean, where it killed at least 37 people and left thousands homeless. Irma, one of the most powerful storms ever recorded in the Atlantic basin, swept across islands including St Martin, Puerto Rico, Cuba, and the British and US Virgin Islands. It left billions of dollars worth of damage, with some areas now “barely habitable”. Hurricane Irma first struck the dual-island nation of Antigua and Barbuda on Wednesday. Prime Minister Gaston Browne said 95% of buildings on Barbuda had been damaged, and the island was “literally under water” and “barely habitable”. The category five storm then pummelled St Martin and St Barts – popular holiday destinations – on the same day.

Prophecy Sign: Luke 21:25   “And there will be signs in the sun, in the moon, and in the stars; and on the earth distress of nations, with perplexity, the sea and the waves roaring;

 Is the following a sign of a birth pain Jesus warned us about?  Huge storms are part of Bible prophecy for the last days and as of late we have been an eye witness to some of the biggest storms on record. When you look below you will see a report about 3 massive hurricanes in the Atlantic Ocean all at the same time. Please take notice the report stated “In a historic development“.  The report below was issued by Market Watch  on Aug. 31, 2015.  One of the last days signs is that of birth pains as seen in  Matthew 24:8, “All these are the beginning of birth pains”.  The report below which was a historic development appears to have risen again via Hurricane Harvey which was a record breaking storm now three more hurricanes that have been following Harvey all at the same time. 

 What the 2015 report stated below.

“In a historic development this weekend, three major hurricanes were recorded over the Pacific Ocean for the first time since records have been kept. Hurricane Kilo, Hurricane Ignacio and Hurricane Jimena were all classified as Category 4 storms on Sunday, according to the National Hurricane Center (NHC), the second highest classification on the Saffir-Simpson scale. It was the first time on record that there were three Category 4 hurricanes in the Pacific at the same time, and the first time three major hurricanes—defined as Category 3 or higher—were recorded over the Pacific, according to Weather.com.” http://www.marketwatch.com/story/3-major-hurricanes-recorded-over-the-pacific-for-first-time-ever-2015-08-31

America was already pounded by Harvey and, it remains to be seen what Hurricane Katia is going to do but, Hurricane Irma has already caused complex problems for the American government as Irma has forced the evacuation of thousands of people in Florida even before the storm has come ashore.  I want you to see what ABC News  just said about the size of Irma.  

Here is a photo of the 3 hurricanes all at the same time.

 Luke 21:25 also warns of the signs from the sun

The following news about the solar flares was given to me today via Pastor Brett Creamer.

“Yesterday the sun had a X10 level solar flare and it was earth facing. This is the highest level they have ever seen when it was earth facing. That means that we will be bombarded with solar (radioactive) heat and debris over the next 2 days. According to the data, the first wave will start to hit the earth on Sept. 8th at 6 am and will last 24 hours. (It takes about 2 days to receive the blast from the sun) This blast will effect satellites and communications. This also may harm electronic devices (like an EMP) and our nations electrical grid. If this is going to bring trouble, you may want to stock up on food and get some cash out of the bank. Many scientists have said that solar flares are connected to earthquakes. As an example, when Fukeshima’s earthquake happened, we had recently been hit with an X1.4 solar flare. If they truly are connected, I cannot imagine the earthquake that is coming upon us. The USA is now engulfed in flames on one side, is flooded on another, is about to be slammed with the biggest hurricane in years and we may be hit with the solar flare causing massive damage….

Like the quiet before a storm.

Recently researchers announced that a storm is coming–the most intense solar maximum in fifty years. The prediction comes from a team led by Mausumi Dikpati of the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR). “The next sunspot cycle will be 30% to 50% stronger than the previous one,” she says. If correct, the years ahead could produce a burst of solar activity second only to the historic Solar Max of 1958.

That was a solar maximum. The Space Age was just beginning: Sputnik was launched in Oct. 1957 and Explorer 1 (the first US satellite) in Jan. 1958. In 1958 you couldn’t tell that a solar storm was underway by looking at the bars on your cell phone; cell phones didn’t exist. Even so, people knew something big was happening when Northern Lights were sighted three times in Mexico. A similar maximum now would be noticed by its effect on cell phones, GPS, weather satellites and many other modern technologies.

Right: Intense auroras over Fairbanks, Alaska, in 1958. [More]

Dikpati’s prediction is unprecedented. In nearly-two centuries since the 11-year sunspot cycle was discovered, scientists have struggled to predict the size of future maxima–and failed. Solar maxima can be intense, as in 1958, or barely detectable, as in 1805, obeying no obvious pattern.

The key to the mystery, Dikpati realized years ago, is a conveyor belt on the sun.

We have something similar here on Earth–the Great Ocean Conveyor Belt, popularized in the sci-fi movie The Day After Tomorrow. It is a network of currents that carry water and heat from ocean to ocean–see the diagram below. In the movie, the Conveyor Belt stopped and threw the world’s weather into chaos.  https://www.nasa.gov/vision/universe/solarsystem/10mar_stormwarning.html

Prophecy Sign Ezekiel 39: ³ Then I will strike your bow from your left hand and make your arrows drop from your right hand. ⁴ On the mountains of Israel you will fall, you and all your troops and the nations with you. I will give you as food to all kinds of carrion birdsand to the wild animals. ⁵ You will fall in the open field, for I have spoken, declares the Sovereign Lord. ⁶ I will send fire on Magog and on those who live in safety in the coastlands, and they will know that I am the Lord.

I suggest you read the entire chapters of 38 and 39 of Ezekiel. In this prophecy you will see Iran is one of the nations God warned us that would try to completely wipe out the nation of Israel. Notice that the Lord says He will send fire!  In a report issued on Dec. 18, 2013 Israel Today showed that Iran has planned to do exactly what God revealed to us in the Ezekiel prophecy.  When I heard President Obama made a nuclear deal with Iran I warned my viewers Iran was lying and they had no intentions of halting their quest in getting a nuclear bomb to wipe out Israel. Scroll down to the next report dated September 7, 2017!

Today’s report shows what I said concerning Iran has come to pass.  All President did was help Iran get a huge step closer to fulfilling that Ezekiel prophecy. I said this statement back in 2013, and I will say it again.  Iran is going to make a move against Israel and, when they try to use (fire (a nuclear bomb) against the Jews it appears from Ezekiel 39 that God is going to use fire to destroy Iran and all the rest of the Islamic invading.  Is it possible that what Iran intended to do to Israel God turns it around and uses this type of fire against Iran and the invaders?  I think it is possible and this is why. Look at what it says in Ezekiel 39: ¹² “‘For seven months the Israelites will be burying them in order to cleanse the land.¹³ All the people of the land will bury them, and the day I display my glory will be a memorable day for them, declares the Sovereign Lord. ¹⁴ People will be continually employed in cleansing the land. They will spread out across the land and, along with others, they will bury any bodies that are lying on the ground.  In my research for my prophecy book I found out that this is the process in which Israel has set in case there is a nuclear weapon used in their land.  Notice the Lord tells us Israel is going to hire people to clean the land.  For anyone who does not believe in what God has shown us via His word all I can say is wait and see what happens to the armies who attack Israel which includes Iran!

Now I want to turn my attention to those who are teaching that on September 23, 2017 the Church is going to be raptured to heaven.

 I have put up 3 videos for you to view. First is my video showing how there is no way the rapture can take place on Sept. 23, 2017 as Scott Clarke has stated. You can start watch my video at the 34:28 minute mark.  The video after mine will give you more information which also shows the misleading of the Sept. 23rd date.  Then last you will see what Scott Clarke is teaching.  Believe what you want because on Sept. 24, 2017 I will come back and show you the Church has not be taken. Millions upon million of people around the Earth did not suddenly vanish. 

  Prophecy Sign: I Thessalonians 5:3,4: “For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.”  Just about every peace talks between the Arabs and Israel have come to and end in part because of the East Jerusalem factor.  The Palestinians continue to stress East Jerusalem belongs to them and over the years Israel has continued to build homes in E. Jerusalem. Now as before while President Trump has been trying to get the PLO and Israel to agree on a new peace pact Israel is again getting ready to do more building in East Jerusalem.  For years at this post I have been telling my viewers there will be no peace between the PLO and Israel and have pointed to the part in 1 Thess. where Paul reveals sudden destruction will come not peace.  Building homes is helping lead to the fulfillment of this prophecy.

EXPANSION PLAN FOR EAST J’LM NEIGHBORHOOD ‘A SEVERE BLOW TO TWO-STATE’ SOLUTION

“About a year ago, Shemini Properties Ltd., which owns a significant portion of the plot, requested construction permits for 13 buildings to contain a total of 176 housing units, which will be discussed in Sunday’s meeting. Peace Now condemned the request, and said approving an expansion of a Jewish neighborhood in east Jerusalem would be yet another move damaging the two-state solution. “It appears that the government has opened all the floodgates when it comes to settlement developments within Palestinian neighborhoods,” the NGO said in a statement.”

Prophecy Sign: Jeremiah 24:24-27

Damascus has grown feeble; 
She turns to flee, 
And fear has seized her. 
Anguish and sorrows have taken her like a woman in labor. 
²⁵ Why is the city of praise not deserted, the city of My joy? 
²⁶ Therefore her young men shall fall in her streets, 
And all the men of war shall be cut off in that day,” says the LORD of hosts. 
²⁷ “ I will kindle a fire in the wall of Damascus, 
And it shall consume the palaces of Ben-Hadad.”^[a]

Prophecy Sign: “Isaiah 17:1 “The burden against Damascus. 
“ Behold, Damascus will cease from being a city, 
And it will be a ruinous heap.”
