Air Force Launches 52 F-35A Lightning II Jets In Training Exercise Say It Is ‘Completely Coincidental’ and Has Nothing To Do With 52 Strikes Trump Warned Iran With by Geoffrey Grider The U.S. Air Force conducted an exercise involving the launch of 52 fighter jets from Hill Air Base in Utah, officials said. Two days ago, President Trump let Iran know in no uncertain terms that he had ordered the Pentagon to target 52 sites in Iran that the United States was planning on hitting is Iran retaliated for the killing of General Qassem Soleimani. Those 52 targets represented the 52 American hostages Iran held captive back in 1979. This morning, Hill AFB in Utah launched training exercises with exactly 52 fighter jets. How's that for an amazing coincidence? 'Completely coincidental': Air Force launches 52 fighter jets in training exercise FROM WASHINGTON EXAMINER: Hill Air Force Base launched the F-35A Lightning II fighters over a 10-minute period around 11 a.m. Monday, The Standard-Examiner reports. The 388th and 419th Fighter Wings conducted the combat exercise that sent the jets west to the Utah Test and Training Range to perform various missions. "Let this serve as a WARNING that if Iran strikes any Americans, or American assets, we have.........targeted 52 Iranian sites (representing the 52 American hostages taken by Iran many years ago), some at a very high level & important to Iran & the Iranian culture, and those targets, and Iran itself, WILL BE HIT VERY FAST AND VERY HARD," President Trump said. "The USA wants no more threats!" source Col. Michael Ebner, the 388th vice commander, said Monday’s exercise had been planned as a “culminating event” after the two fighter wings received their full complement of fighter jets. While the effort was intended to demonstrate an ability to conduct large-scale combat deployment in a short time, it was not in direct response to the United States’ escalating situation with Iran, Ebner said. “That’s completely coincidental,” he said. READ MORE

Hezbollah To Be Unleashed Inside America?

Hezbollah To Be Unleashed Inside America? There has never been a greater threat of terror attacks on U.S. soil than there is right now. Many of the talking heads on television are speculating that Iran may hit American targets in the Middle East, but what they are forgetting is that Iranian-backed terror groups already have a substantial presence in North America.

Iran Announces They Will Pay $80 Million To The Person Who Kills President Trump, Says Will Immediately Start Enriching Uranium For Nuclear

New post on Now The End Begins

Iran Announces They Will Pay $80 Million To The Person Who Kills President Trump, Says Will Immediately Start Enriching Uranium For Nuclear by Geoffrey Grider Iran has placed an $80 million bounty on Donald Trump's head and threatened to attack the White House in response to the president's warning that any strike on American interests in the region will bring massive retaliation. This morning we told you that the Iraqi parliament was voting on whether or not to expel American forces from Iraq, and I can tell you now that they did indeed vote to remove US military troops. At the same time over in Iran, their parliament was also voting on action to take, and well, what they voted to do is a doozy. A raucous assembly of furious Iranian politicians have decided to immediately begin enriching uranium for nuclear weapons, with no limits to that enrichment adhered to. And as the entire assembly began shouting 'Death To America!' they announced they would pay $80 million dollars to the person or group who kills President Trump. Makes me wonder which Democrat will try and collect it.  All bluster aside, Iran is absolutely overflowing with anger, and this will not end without bloodshed, and most likely lots of it. Are you ready for what comes next? Iran has also announced that the country will no longer abide by any of the limits of its 2015 nuclear deal FROM DAILY MAIL UK: An organizer for a funeral procession for General Qassem Soleimani called on all Iranians to donate $1 each 'in order to gather an $80 million bounty on President Trump's head'.  The organizer made the remarks during the procession in Mashad. Iran has also announced it they will no longer abide by any of the limits of its 2015 nuclear deal. A statement issued by Iranian President Hassan Rouhani's administration said the country will not observe limitations on its enrichment, the amount of stockpiled enriched uranium as well as research and development in its nuclear activities. It did not elaborate on what levels it would immediately reach in its program. The International Atomic Energy Agency, the United Nations watchdog observing Iran's program, could not be immediately reach for comment. Earlier on Sunday, the Iraqi parliament voted for US troops to be expelled from the country. The vote will 'obligate the government to work towards ending the presence of all foreign troops on Iraqi soil,' the country's media office stated. As tensions escalate after Soleimani's death, Iranian MP Abolfazl Abutorabi threatened to launch an attack on American soil in retaliation. 'We can attack the White House itself, we can respond to them on the American soil. We have the power, and God willing we will respond in an appropriate time,' Abutorabi said, according to the Iranian Labour News Agency. Abutorabi went on to say that 'this is a declaration of war, which means if you hesitate you lose'. 'When someone declares war do you want to respond to the bullets with flowers? They will shoot you in the head,' he added. Abutorabi's threat was made during an open session of parliament in Tehran just days after Iranian military Soleimani was killed in a drone strike on Friday at Baghdad airport. Soleimani was the architect of Tehran's overseas clandestine and military operations as head of the Revolutionary Guards' Quds Force. READ MORE Massive crowds attend funeral processions as Soleimani's body returned to Iran Large crowds gathered across Iran on Sunday for a funeral ceremony for general Qassem Suleimani, the slain head of Iran's elite Quds force. In the northeast city of Mashhad, mourners accompanied a casket carrying Suleimani's remains. Earlier that day, his body had been taken to Ahvaz, southwestern Iran, a city that was a focus of fighting during the bloody, 1980-88 war between Iraq and Iran in which the general slowly grew to prominence. Iran threatened 'harsh retaliation' for the US strike that killed the top military commander, and Trump has said the US would strike 52 sites in the Islamic Republic if any Americans are harmed. Trump vows to hit 52 sites 'very hard' if Iran retaliates for Suleimani killing

Iraqi Parliament Holding Extraordinary Emergency Session Today To Vote On Ousting All United States Military Presence In Retaliation For Soleimani Hit

New post on Now The End Begins

Iraqi Parliament Holding Extraordinary Emergency Session Today To Vote On Ousting All United States Military Presence In Retaliation For Soleimani Hit by Geoffrey Grider Iraq's parliament started its extraordinary session on Sunday with Prime Minister Adel Abdul Mahdi in attendance, where they are expected to vote on ousting thousands of US troops from military bases. Right now in Iraq, their parliament is meeting to discuss a very important topic, whether or not to vote to remove all US military presence from their country. This comes in the aftermath of a precision drone strike that killed Iran's top general Qassem Soleimani. For President Trump, this comes as an unforeseen but very welcome political gift, and one that will certainly advance his prospects of winning reelection later this year. Should the Iraqi parliament indeed vote to remove all US forces from Iraq, President Trump will immediate announce that he has kept yet another one of his campaign promises, that being to end US involvement with foreign wars in the Middle East. In the meantime over in Iran today, a series a strikes is being planned as revenge for Soleimani. In accordance with Muslim law, they won't do anything until the 3-day mourning period has passed, and that puts us right at Tuesday morning. Buckle up, it's going to be a bumpy ride. Iraqi parliament meets to discuss withdrawal of US troops FROM THE NATIONAL: The outgoing Mr Abdul Mahdi, who resigned following months of protests but is in office until a replacement has been decided on, told parliament it must “take careful consideration” whether to “take urgent measures to end the presence of US troops” or limit their remit. In the event that they are limited, they may allowed to conduct training missions and be banned from mounting any military operations in the country. The bases are threatened by pro-Tehran factions after an American strike killed commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards' Quds Force Gen Qassem Suleimani and Iraqi paramilitary chief Abu Mahdi Al Muhandis. Late on Saturday, missiles hit the Baghdad enclave where the US embassy is located and an airbase north of the capital housing American troops, prompting US President Donald Trump to threaten strikes on 52 sites in Iran. The near-simultaneous attacks seemed to be the first phase of promised retaliation for the US precision drone strike that killed Suleimani and Al Muhandis. The US-led coalition against ISIS on Sunday announced it was "pausing" its fight against ISIS in Iraq, where US troops training local forces have faced a spate of rocket attacks. "This has limited our capacity to conduct training with partners and to support their operations against Daesh (the Arabic name for ISIS) and we have therefore paused these activities, subject to continuous review," the coalition said in a statement. Iraqi politicians said they would use the special session to push for a vote on a resolution requiring the government to tell Washington to withdraw US troops from the country. The Iraqi foreign ministry also said on Sunday that it has summoned US ambassador Matthew Tueller to condemn US strikes on Iraq that killed a top Iranian general, an Iraqi commander and other local fighters. "They were a blatant violation of Iraqi sovereignty," the ministry said in a statement, and "contradict the agreed-upon missions of the international coalition." READ MORE

Digital Giant Samsung Causing Stir At CES 2020 Technology Show With The Unveiling Of Their Neon AI Brand ‘Core R3’ Artificial Human Tomorrow

New post on Now The End Begins

Digital Giant Samsung Causing Stir At CES 2020 Technology Show With The Unveiling Of Their Neon AI Brand ‘Core R3’ Artificial Human Tomorrow by Geoffrey Grider CES 2020 has barely started in Las Vegas, but it seems like everyone's already talking about one company: Neon, a mysterious new venture funded by Samsung with their artificial human CORE R3. CES in Las Vegas is the annual conclave put on by the Consumer Technology Association where the world's leading innovators, big and small, go to dazzle the tech world with their latest innovations. This year, a division of Samsung called Neon is sucking all the oxygen out of the room with something they are calling CORE R3, an artificial human that as you can see from the main photo, is eerily lifelike. The world at large is catching up to the book of Revelation at a frightening pace, it would seem. "And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them." Revelation 9:6 (KJV) All the major tech companies, (remember when Google was just a search engine started by college nerds?), are spending billions and billions of dollars to create a virtual world that is capable of stepping out from behind the screens of our computers and smart devices, to interact with us in real-time. They have been stunningly successful towards reaching that goal, and honestly, they are just getting warmed up. VISIT THE NTEB 'MARK OF THE BEAST' ARTICLE ARCHIVE TO HAVE YOUR MIND BLOWN We live in a day and time where we have become cyborgs, literally, as we have tied ourselves to our digital devices to such an extent that we cannot imagine live without them. We have become one with them, and that is the very definition of what a cyborg is. Welcome to the future, and buckle up. Samsung Neon asks 'Have You Met An Artificial?' FROM CNET: Samsung has been tweeting out teasers over the past three weeks, hinting at something new to come. "Have you ever met an 'Artificial?'" Neon tweeted several times since its Twitter account launched in December. Its LinkedIn page says it's "bringing science fiction to reality" and has "the mission to imagine and create a better future for all." Heading into CES, little was known about Neon, beyond the fact it's run by Pranav Mistry, the Samsung research exec who in October was named CEO of Samsung's Bay Area-based Technology and Advanced Research Labs (aka STAR Labs). We’re ready - are you? #CES2020 #NEON https://t.co/mxleTyasNG — NEON (@neondotlife) January 5, 2020 On Saturday, Mistry tweeted out two photos of what appears to be an avatar, or 'artificial human' that he called "CORE R3." And unlisted videos, spotted on Reddit and compiled into a video by the Good Content tech page on YouTube, show various other human-like avatars that look a lot like real people. "It can now autonomously create new expressions, new movements, new dialog (even in Hindi), completely different from the original captured data," Mistry tweeted. The hints have caused people to speculate on what Neon could actually be. Could it be a replacement for Samsung's Bixby smart digital assistant? (Neon shot that theory down pretty quickly.) Will it show up on Samsung devices? Does this mean we're soon going to be living in a real-life version of HBO's Westworld? Many Samsung watchers expected the company to unveil Neon at its CES keynote Monday at 6:30 p.m. PT. But Neon won't actually be a part of the keynote. As companies like Google, Amazon and, yes, Samsung have discovered, the key to actually making smart devices useful is packing in artificial intelligence, typically in the form of voice assistants. Every tech heavyweight is investing in these assistants because they're heralded as the future of how we'll interact with our gadgets. The ultimate promise for the smart technology is to predict what you want before you even ask -- or make you forget you're not interacting with a real human. "While films may disrupt our sense of reality, 'virtual humans' or 'digital humans' will be reality," he told Mint in late December. "A digital human could extend its role to become a part of our everyday lives: a virtual news anchor, virtual receptionist or even an AI-generated film star." Two years ago, Samsung said it would spend $22 billion on AI by 2020 and would employ 1,000 AI specialists by the same time frame. It has opened AI centers around the globe to work on solving problems for making technology smarter. READ MORE

In An Unprecedented Move, Iran Raises The Red Flag Of Battle For First Time In History In Stunning Harbinger Of Of ‘A Great Battle’ On The Horizon

New post on Now The End Begins

In An Unprecedented Move, Iran Raises The Red Flag Of Battle For First Time In History In Stunning Harbinger Of Of ‘A Great Battle’ On The Horizon by Geoffrey Grider For the first time in recorded history, the symbolic 'Red Flag' of Iran has been hoisted up over the holy dome of the famous Jamkarān Mosque, which is located in the city of Qom. From all reports that we are receiving, Iran is right now prepping themselves for battle. Major think tanks in Washington are telling people in the Middle East to "brace yourselves" for what might be on the horizon, and social media is blowing up with trending hashtags like #WWIII and #IranWar. What would a war like that mean for people living in the United States, would we be begin seeing the rising up of jihadi 'sleeper cells' in major cities across America? "But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not terrified: for these things must first come to pass; but the end is not by and by. Then said he unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven." Luke 21:9-11 (KJV) Earlier today, rockets were fired at American interests in Iraq, with two rounds hitting the 'Green Zone' in Baghdad, and there are reports that Iran is planning to launch strikes at over 35 key targets as revenge for the killing of General Qassem Soleimani. All the major papers in the UK are banging the war drums, warning of coming confrontation. How should we who are saved be looking at all this? As an excellent opportunity to start witnessing to your friends and neighbors, to start preaching on the streets and handing out gospel tracts, and proclaim the good news of the gospel of the grace of God. That's what we should be doing. 'Red Flag of Doom' Symbolizing Battle Ahead Raised To Top Of Tallest Mosque In Iran FROM ANONYMOUS NEWS: According to various posts on social media from Iranian sources, this red flag symbolizes that there is a great battle on the horizon. Experts on the matter say that the flag was raised to the top of one of the biggest and most important mosques in Iran, as another symbolic gesture to indicate the great severity of the times. The video below shows some footage of the flag being raised and gives an explanation of its symbolic significance. "In case of war with the U.S., Tehran can draw on 200,000 Mideast proxy militants to attack Israel. But less well-known are Hezbollah’s overseas Black Ops units - and both Israeli and American targets are in their sights" source This is certainly an unprecedented move for the Iranian government, who has rattled sabers with the United States for some time now. Tensions have been growing between the two countries for many years, but after the recent assassination of general Shahid Qassem Suleimani in targetted airstrikes, relations have never been worse. In fact, since the attack was first reported, terms like “World War 3” have been trending globally, and with good reason, Iran has threatened a harsh retaliation in response to the attacks. The United States government has justified the attacks by suggesting that general Shahid Qassem Suleimani was assisting enemies in the middle east who were fighting against US forces. Suleimani was targeted while in a combat zone in Iraq, but he is also credited for helping groups to fight against ISIS and other groups in the region, so it would not be highly unusual or suspicious for him to have business in one of these conflict zones. Following the attack, a senior military official in Iran threatened an attack on dozens of “American targets,” which reportedly included “destroyers and warships” located in the Persian Gulf. READ MORE

As An Article In The Jerusalem Post Is Warning The Middle East To Brace Itself, We Ask Just How Likely Is Killing Of Soleimani To Spark WWIII?

New post on Now The End Begins

As An Article In The Jerusalem Post Is Warning The Middle East To Brace Itself, We Ask Just How Likely Is Killing Of Soleimani To Spark WWIII? by Geoffrey Grider The Bible accurately tells us that WWIII will take place in the Middle East, that it will involve Muslims, it will be focused on Israel, and the rest of the nations? Well they are counted as a 'drop of a bucket' in God's sight. I was enjoying a messaging exchange with a preacher friend of mine today, and he asked me my opinion of all the current talk about WWIII, and wanted to know just how likely I thought it was. As I reflected on this very serious question, and began to mentally review both WWI and WWII, it became apparent to me that while it does not appear to be imminent, it certainly could happen given the very unique climate we now find ourselves in. "Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident. For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock." Psalm 27:3,5 (KJV) Think about this. WWI, which at the time was the most brutal and graphically-visual war ever fought in human history, and the first major war played out in real-time with the advent of the motion picture, was started when one man was assassinated, the Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria. WWII, the next 'war to end all wars' was also started by one man, Adolf Hitler. Here we are in the 21st century, and another 'one man' is also involved. One man, Donald Trump, ordered the hit on Iran Quds general Qassem Soleimani, also one man, and here we are. The Jerusalem Post is warning Jews in the Middle East to brace themselves as they feel that a major war is about to break out. They can mine the Persian Gulf, they can fire rocket barrages on American positions in Iraq, they can attack Israel or Saudi Arabia by their proxies such as Hezbollah in Lebanon or the Houthis in Yemen. The Saudis, Smyth said, “have shown the ease in which they can be attacked by the Iranians or Iranian-backed forces.” Responses could also include targeting diplomats and other Westerners in the Middle East, specifically Iraq or Tehran. "They could try to reignite their international terrorist apparatuses using Hezbollah and a variety of other actors, including the IRGC,” Smyth warned. “All of these can come to bear.” And even if Israel isn’t the subject of direct retaliation, Taleblu warned, “Iran’s security apparatuses will look to continue the policy of carving a corridor to the Mediterranean.” The entire Middle East should brace itself. READ MORE There you have it from a political perspective, from a prophetical prospective it is even more likely. The Bible accurately tells us that WWIII will take place in the Middle East, that it will involve Muslims, it will be focused on Israel, and the rest of the nations? Well they are counted as a 'drop of a bucket' in God's sight, Israel is the only nation God is truly concerned with. And what about America? Well.... "Behold, the nations are as a drop of a bucket, and are counted as the small dust of the balance: behold, he taketh up the isles as a very little thing. All nations before him are as nothing; and they are counted to him less than nothing, and vanity." Isaiah 40:15,17 (KJV) Search all you like, you will not find America mentioned as a nation anywhere in the Bible like the others nations are. From time to time, people will try and locate America as the "young lions" of Ezekiel 38, but that won't do. The Bible tells us about Russia, Israel, Iran, Lebanon, Syria, Turkey, Germany and many others, but no America. We don't even get a mention, and because of that, you really need to prepare yourselves for what happens when WWIII really does come. It will not be a pretty site for the United States. I love America, and would love to see us enjoy another prosperous season, but look your window and see what's really going on in our streets. We are more divided than we have ever been since the Civil War, Democrats plot day and night to take down our president, and the powers of George Soros funded darkness are reaching a fever pitch. People who lived in Berlin in the late 1920's have said that while on the surface things seemed OK, that there was a very dark undercurrent rumbling and it prompted many thousands of people to flee, and wisely so. For very different reasons I feel those same rumblings every time I turn on the news on any channel and just watch and listen. Tomorrow evening we will be doing our first broadcast of the New Year, Lord willing, and we will be talking about all these things, and more, in depth as they relate to end times Bible prophecy. I hope you will tune in and see just how close we may be.

DEATH TO AMERICA: Tens Of Thousands Of Muslims Jam The Streets In Baghdad As Iran Vows Revenge For The Killing Of Top General Qassem Soleimani

New post on Now The End Begins

DEATH TO AMERICA: Tens Of Thousands Of Muslims Jam The Streets In Baghdad As Iran Vows Revenge For The Killing Of Top General Qassem Soleimani by Geoffrey Grider Thousands of furious mourners thronged in the streets of Baghdad today during funeral processions for the slain Iranian general Qassem Soleimani and an Iraqi militia commander who died with him during yesterday's US strike. As Iran trots out their professional mourners to cry and weep for terrorist Qassem Soleimani publicly, privately they are getting exactly what they hoped for. Lots of media attention combined with the possibility of pulling America into a prolonged conflict. Iran has nothing else to occupy their time with, if you take away the 'Death to America!' and 'Death To Israel!', they really don't have much else going on. Except of course building nuclear weapons. Iran is exactly where they want to be right now. Here in America, it is highly amusing watching the crazed Liberals in the Democratic Party actually defending Iran, and condemning President Trump for having the courage to remove a known terrorist who was actively plotting against America. If Donald Trump announced a cure for cancer tomorrow, the headline would be "Trump Destroys Pharmaceutical Industry". Keep crying, Liberals, it will be a good warmup for you when the #MAGA2020Landslide happens in November. Supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in Iran has vowed revenge and 'Jihad' for the bitter loss of his general FROM DAILY MAIL UK: They chanted 'Death to America' and 'America is the Great Satan' as they walked beside the coffins of Soleimani, architect of Iran's global military strategy, and Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, Kataeb Hezbollah chief, in Baghdad. The pair had been riding in a two-vehicle convoy which was decimated by three missiles from an American MQ-9 Reaper Drone in the early hours of Friday outside Baghdad International Airport. The strike - which also killed four more Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guards and five members of Iraq's pro-Iran paramilitary network - infuriated Tehran, who vowed jihad on America. Meanwhile Iraq, whose prime minister attended the funerals today, threatened to order the expulsion of all US troops from the country after what it called 'a brazen violation of Iraq's sovereignty.' President Donald Trump has said that he ordered the killing of Soleimani to prevent war, adding that the commander was plotting 'imminent and sinister' attacks against Americans. 'We took action last night to stop a war. We did not take action to start a war,' the president said in brief remarks at Mar-a-Lago on Friday. Mourners in the Iraqi capital today carried posters of Soleimani and flags of Muhandis's Iran-backed Kataeb Hezbollah militia, which has committed brazen attacks against US bases in recent months, climaxing with a siege of the US embassy on Tuesday. The procession began at the Imam Kadhim shrine in Baghdad, one of the most revered in Shia Islam before crowds headed south to a point near the Green Zone, the high-security district home to government offices and foreign embassies, including America's. Meanwhile thousands of angry demonstrators stood outside the UN offices in Iran's capital, demanding retribution for the killing of Soleimani. The head of Iran's elite Quds Force will be laid to rest Tuesday in his hometown of Kerman as part of three days of ceremonies across the country, the Revolutionary Guards said. Yesterday Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei visited the 62-year-old father-of-five's family home and offered condolences after vowing 'jihad' on America for the drone strike. It comes as Tehran's UN ambassador, who represents Iran's only diplomatic mission within the US, told CNN Friday that the airstrike was 'tantamount to opening a war against Iran.' 'The US has already started a war against Iran, not just an economic war but something beyond that by assassinating one of our top generals,' Ravanchi said. 'There will be harsh revenge... The response for a military action is a military action.' READ MORE
