Shabbat Shalom to the Royal Family of Yehovah,
Shabbat Shalom to you all.
As you know, I am just wrapping up our week here in Japan. Why has Yehovah brought me here at this time? I think you will find the answer to that question fascinating in this week’s article. I have been speaking each day from morning until evening. I am, to say the least, exhausted. I have been flat out since I arrived. Mr. Kuroki has been busy preparing and arranging our schedule. My first speaking engagement was in Kobe with a number of Hebrew scholars and researchers who had searched the ancient Japanese ancestry back to the sons of Hezekiah. Mr Koji Soma has done some of this research and published
I have also been doing some research into the 10 gods of Egypt. We have written to you about them before, and I wanted to update you last week as the news broke, but I waited until now. The things the Trump administration is doing are terrifyingly stunning when I look at them from prophecy. I will share the results of Egypt’s first three gods or plagues. Yes, those very same plagues Yehovah said He would send if we did not obey are manifesting as we speak.
We did a video about Trump and what he was going to do back in 2016. I encourage you to watch it again.
Just as Israel got deeply involved in Baal Peor before entering the Promised Land in 1337 BC, they have done so now at the end of this age, having accepted the UNEP, today known as the Paris Accord. Our leaders pushed this from 2011 until Trump took office in 2017. He then left the Paris Accord but could not leave until 4 years had passed. Then Biden resigned back on to it when he took office in 2020. Now, again in 2025, Trump has withdrawn from the Paris Accord and is declaring no more WOKE and that there are only two genders. In the same way Israel returned from Baal Peor, today’s descendants of Israel, the USA, are returning back to Yehovah.
Even though the USA is making these major changes, judgment began to take place starting in 2024. The verdict has been issued. You can repent, but those who don’t are going to face the consequences.
This week, we are going to show you once again what the first three plagues of Egypt look like in modern times. I am going to employ Grok 3 to dig up the answers for us, and you are going to be surprised at Grok’s analysis.
Torah Portion
Torah Portions
We read through the entire Torah along with the Prophets and the New Testament, once over the course of 3 1/2 years. Or according to the Sabbatical Cycle which means we read it all twice over a 7-year period. This allows us to cover more in-depth rather than being rushed to cover as much as is covered on an annual basis. We allow all to comment and take part in the discussions.
Septennial Torah Portion
If you go to Torah Portion in our archived section, you can then go to the 1st year, which is the 1st year of the Sabbatical Cycle, the one we are in now, as we state at the top of every Newsletter. There, you can scroll down to the proper date and see that this Shabbat, we could very well be midrashing about:
Exodus 13
1 Kings 21-22
Psalm 119:132-176
John 2-3
We are in the 1st Sabbatical Cycle in 2024-2025. We go through the entire bible twice in a 7 year cycle. This means we cover the entire bible once every 3 1/2 years. It gives us more time to debate and discuss each portion we read.
If you missed last week’s exciting discoveries as we studied that section, you can go and watch past Shabbats on our media section.
Join Our Sabbath Meetings
Join Our Sabbath Meetings
There are many people in need of fellowship and who are sitting at home on the Sabbath with no one to talk to or debate with. I want to encourage all of you to join us on Shabbat, and to invite others to come and join us as well. If the time is not convenient then you can listen to the teaching and the midrash after on our YouTube channel.
What are we doing and why do we teach this way?
We are going to discuss both sides of an issue and then let you choose. It is the work of the Ruach (Spirit) to direct and to teach you.
The medieval commentator Rashi wrote that the Hebrew word for wrestle (avek) implies that Jacob was “tied”, for the same word is used to describe knotted fringes in a Jewish prayer shawl, the tzitzityot. Rashi says, “thus is the manner of two people who struggle to overthrow each other, that one embraces the other and knots him with his arms”.
Our intellectual wrestling has been replaced by a different kind of struggle. We are wrestling with Yehovah as we grapple with His Word. It is an intimate act, symbolizing a relationship in which Yehovah and you and I are bound together. My wrestling is a struggle to discover what Yehovah expects of us, and we are “tied” to the One who assists us in that struggle.
Today, many say Israel means “Champion of God”, or better — the “Wrestler of God”.
Our Torah sessions each Shabbat teaches you and encourages you to constantly challenge, question, argue against, as well as view alternative views and explanations of the Word. In other words, we are to “wrestle with the Word” to get to the truth. Jews worldwide believe that you need to wrestle with the Word and constantly challenge Dogma, Theology, and views or else you will never get to the Truth.
We are not like most churches where “The preacher talks and everyone listens.” We encourage everyone to participate, to question and to contribute what they know on the subject being discussed. We want you to be a champion wrestler of the Word of Yehovah. We want you to wear the title of Israel, knowing that you not only know but are capable of explaining why you know the Torah to be true with logic and facts.
We have a few rules though. Let others talk and listen. There is no discussion about UFO’s, Nephilim, Vaccines or conspiracy-type subjects. We have people from around the world with different world views. Not everyone cares who is the President of any particular country. Treat each other with respect as fellow wrestlers of the word. Some of our subjects are hard to understand and require you to be mature and if you do not know, then listen to gain knowledge and understanding and hopefully wisdom. The very things you are commanded to ask Yehovah for and He gives to those who ask.
Jas 1:5 But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and with no reproach, and it shall be given to him.
We hope you can invite those who want to keep Torah to come and join us by hitting the link below. It is almost like a Torah teaching fellowship talk show with people from around the world taking part and sharing their insights and understandings.
We start off with some music and then some prayers and it’s as though you were sitting around the kitchen back in Newfoundland having a cup of coffee and all of us enjoying each other’s company. I hope you will grace us with your company someday.
Sabbath services begin at 12:30 PM EDT where we will be doing prayers, songs and teaching from this hour.
Shabbat midrash will begin at about 1:15 pm Eastern.
We look forward to you joining our family and getting to know us as we get to know you.
Joseph Dumond is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.

The Stones Cry Out Are Free
The Stones Cry Out Part 1 & Part 2
Do you want to know how to prove the Zadok Calendar, the Enoch Calendar, and the Book of Jubilee Calendar false?
Do you want to know how the calendar issue became so confusing?
I go this awesome endorsement and I want to share it here now. with you.
In The Stones Cry Out, I walk you through the history of each change and why those changes came about, starting with the Maccabean days. Yes, it all began around 164 B.C. When Yehshua was here, he was dealing with two schools of thought. The Sadducees were all but wiped out when the Temple fell in 70 C.E. This left only the Pharisees, who began to be persecuted after the failure of the Bar Kochbah Revolt in 134 C.E.
The truth began to become out of focus around 160 C.E. when Rabbi Jose wrote the Seder Olam. This work originally was written to proof Simon Bar Kochbah was the Messiah. When that did not pan out the history was later revived and then redacted as the truth into the Mishneh Torah by Rabbi Judah ha Nasi in 180 C.E. After this the Jerusalem Talmud begins to debate these issues. It was then during this time as the Jerusalem Talmudist are forced to flee and the Babylonian Talmudist continue to grow until the 6th century that Hillel came up with a solution to help them keep the Holy Days at the proper time while they were out of the land of Israel. He did this in 358 C.E. This work was then modified and adjusted over the next 800 years with additions added and other rejected. Until it was finally redacted once again in 1177 by Rambam. And with that we now have the modern Hillel calendar which includes the errors passed on during each redaction. These errors included the time of the Sabbatical and Jubilee years.
Once the Temple was destroyed in 70 C.E., the Jews recorded time by counting from the time It was destroyed. This is why the 40 tombstones of Zoar, which record this information, are crucial to understand.
When you understand why the Postponement rules were first created so that the crescent moon would not be seen in another part of the world before it was seen in Israel then you can understand how they were still trying to follow the crescent moon to begin the month. The Tombstones show us this exact thing. The tombstones also show us when the Jews changed from a crescent moon to a Conjunction moon to begin the month. They also show us when the Jews changed the year from the month of Aviv to the Tishri to begin the year.
I really want you to understand these things so you know why you do what you do as far as following a calendar to keep Yehovah’s moedim.

I would like to add this recent comment to encourage you all to get this book and learn these truths. And the Book is FREE. You have no reason not to get it.
Most people assume that Hillel created the calendar in 358 C.E. They then assume that because it was a Sanhedrin, they are not allowed to change in order to obey Yehovah. The Hillel calendar has been changed many times since 358 C.E. up until 1177 C.E. Few people talk about these changes but we do in our latest Book The Stones Cry Out Part 1 which is free on our website. The Hillel calendar was changed on many occasions and many sought to make other changes during this time. They never needed a Bet Din to approve those changes. They just did them. So this excuse that we do not have the right to obey Yehovah because the Bet Din has not approved it is a crock of crap.
You have the obligation to obey Yehovah. You have the duty to prove which calendar you are to go by. You must prove it beyond all doubt. Yehshua never followed the Hillel calendar. Nor did any of the Apostles.
The reason no man can know the day or the hour is because it refers to a crescent moon to begin the 7th month. That is the day He was born on and the day He comes to judge on. At a day and hour no one can know. Using the Hillel calendar predicts Yom Teruah years in advance so every one knows when to keep it. But even in the Hillel calendar they keep two days of Yom Teruah reckoning back to the sighted moon. Also in the postponement rules developed long after Hillel, they again state that if the conjunction is at a certain time then the day begins at such and such, in order that the moon will not be seen in another part of the world before it is seen in Israel. That was rule number 2.
Everyone has to choose. You have the right to be wrong. But if you choose to be wrong then you also must live with the consequences that come with sin. And that is the death penalty for not keeping the Holy Days, these Sabbath at the proper time. It is your choice.
Just because you write in to me to justify your position does mean it is right. It just means your sounding off.
Allow me to share this endorsement of our latest book again. If you have read our books, please share your thoughts about them with us in the comments below or email me.
And yes, many observe the Equinox. There are many who are deceived, improperly educated. And this is why Joe puts out a newsletter every week, why he writes books, why the SightedMoon Zoom Shabbat service started, why he travels to places like England and the Philippines to share this message and why were are going to the NRB in February. The calendar is always a divisive issue in social circles because the details are many, that’s why there are so many books Joe has written. I’m not looking to put Joe on a pedestal here. This is not about Joe worship. But Joe has tenaciously studied out the calendar from every angle, not to prove himself right, to to seek to find and share what Yehovah is telling us about His Calendar.
In The Stones Cry Out, Joe has shared the history of all the different groups within Israel, and the beliefs they had about the scriptures and the feast days and the calendar. When you line it all up, you can see for yourself the how and why these misunderstandings and arguments about how and where and why they came about.
This is my new favourite book and I’m only 60-70 pages in. And I encourage you to read the footnotes in this one. Sometimes there’s more footnote on the page than Joe’s words.

When I wrote Stones Cry Out, I wanted it to be one of our FREE books so everyone would have it. It is more of an encyclopedia than a book to read. It will be your quick resource book; you will have access to every question about any calendar, how it got started, and who started it. You will also learn the history of how the Mishnah was assembled, when it was assembled and why. Then, you will learn how that information was transferred into both the Jerusalem and the Babylonian Talmud until it reached its final stage in the Mishneh Torah. Along with this progression, the calendar also progressed and changed long after 358 C.E. when Rabbi Hillel first published it. But…what was before the Hillel calendar? What does the Mishnah record about those things?
The Stones Cry Out was originally going to be one book explaining all the various proofs we have discovered, demonstrating when the Sabbatical and Jubilee years are throughout history.
You can know; it is not a mystery.
As I began to write The Stones Cry Out, I quickly found myself going back, time and time again, to explain how the calendar is behind the confusion of the Sabbatical and Jubilee years. The Rabbis, as they began to write the Mishnah, incorporated wrong understandings, and those errors were written into what became known as the Talmud and then the Mishneh Torah. The expulsion from the land and subsequent persecutions in trying to send out messengers to report the barley being found or the crescent moon being seen, proved to be more and more dangerous over time. All of these things took place over 14 centuries.
Then as I was working on The Stones Cry Out, I discovered that many people were now accepting the Zadok calendar as factual. This is when we pivoted to include all the details of the various calendars that have crept back into public knowledge today and are being used to mislead new people who are just starting to learn about the calendar. All of this was directly connected to the period starting with the Hasmonaeans, up to the destruction of the Temple. Then, with the compiling of the Mishnah, the studies that led into the writing of the Jerusalem Talmud, then the Babylonian Talmud and finally the Mishneh Torah, each error that was added is compounded over time.
The Stones Cry Out, Part 1 explains the history of how each compilation of the Oral Torah incorporated errors, leading the followers thereof away from the actual Torah. In understanding these facts, it is then possible to understand more readily how the Sabbatical and Jubilee years were then mixed and later changed. By explaining all this history, I will be able to help you the reader understand the tombstones when most authorities do not. They have assumed, to their error, the Hillel calendar to have always been in use since Mount Sinai. Not understanding the history of the calendars is why most authorities dismiss the tombstones as too confusing to use. Once you understand The Stones Cry Out Part 1, Part 2 will be very easy to grasp.
Daniel 7:25 tells us he will change the appointed seasons and commandments. Many assume Constantine did this when he made Sunday the Sabbath. Few have considered the calendar’s many changes and how they relate to us today. Hidden in this proverbial swamp of confusion is the truth about the Sabbatical and Jubilee years. The Sabbatical and Jubilee years reveal the truths about the calendar that have been hidden for almost 2000 years.
We are in the very last days and Yehshua warned us that during this time:
Mat 24:10 And then many will be offended, and will betray one another, and will hate one another.
Mat 24:11 And many false prophets will rise and deceive many.
Mat 24:12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many will become cold.
Mat 24:13 But he who endures to the end, the same shall be kept safe.
Paul also warned Timothy about these last days, warning that some would leave the truth and begin to follow demonic teachers:
1Ti 4:1 But the Spirit expressly says that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits and teachings of demons,
Paul again warned the Thessalonians that the Great Falling away would take place in the last days. How can you fall away if you have never come to know the truth? So who is Paul talking to? Those who are called and answer that calling begin to walk this road of restoration back to Yehovah, and then at some point along that walk, they change and leave this walk following the teachings of demons to false calendar.
2Th 2:1 Now we beseech you, my brothers, with regard to the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him,
2Th 2:2 that you should not be soon shaken in mind or troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word or letter, as through us, as if the Day of Christ is at hand.
2Th 2:3 Let not anyone deceive you by any means. For that Day shall not come unless there first comes a falling away, and the man of sin shall be revealed, the son of perdition,
2Th 2:4 who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God, or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, setting himself forth, that he is God.
We must endure until the end. We must not let ourselves become offended by personalities and leave the faith once given.
I want you all to have access to and the ability to read this book and use it as a reference. https://sightedmoon.com/the-stones-cry-out-lp/ Click on the link fill in the form and you will have access to the FREE PDF anywhere in the world.

Cracking the Code of Christ’s Return
Counting of the Omer
Counting of the Omer
When counting the Omer, someone is surely going to ask you or say it publicly: where are we commanded to count the Omer?
When you are asked this then you will take them to Lev 23:15
“You shall count seven full weeks from the day after the Sabbath, from the day that you brought the sheaf of the wave offering. You shall count fifty days to the day after the seventh Sabbath. Then you shall present a grain offering of new grain to the Lord.
The English word sheaf is the Hebrew word Omer.
H6016 (Brown-Driver-Briggs) עמר ‛ômer
BDB Definition:
1) omer
1a) a dry measure of 1/10 ephah (about 2 litres)
2) sheaf
Here, you are told that there are two different methods of counting the 50 days. The first was to count 7 full weeks and the second was to count out the full 50 days.
Again, in Deut 16:9, you are told to COUNT. It is a commandment to count the days and/or weeks. You start from the time the sickle is first put to the Barley grain, which was done after sunset, after the weekly Saturday Sabbath. This counting began with Wave Sheaf Day. It is because of Deut 16:9 that you can not harvest before as some claim until Wave Sheaf Day or Saturday evening after sunset.
“You shall count seven weeks. Begin to count the seven weeks from the time the sickle is first put to the standing grain.
According to some the commandment ‘and you shall count for yourselves fifty days’ means to simply observe the 50th day as Shavuot while others actually declare out loud the number on each of the fifty days. A medieval Karaite Jewish practice combines two different methods of declaring the daily count. The first method is the counting of seven weeks. Each day, the number of the week and the number of the day in the week are declared. So for example, the first day is ‘first day of the first week’. The second counting method used is an overall number for each day. In this method Day one is ‘the first day’ and Day 25 is ‘the twenty-fifth day’. These two methods are used to satisfy the commandment to count seven weeks (Deuteronomy 16:9) as well as the commandment to count fifty days (Leviticus 23:16).
During each one of these days of Counting the Omer to Pentecost, Jewish tradition has developed around reading the Psalms on certain days. I find this to be very beneficial. It is customary that following the “Counting of the Omer,” one recites Psalm 67, for according to tradition, that Psalm has forty-nine words, which corresponds perfectly to the forty-nine days of the “Counting of the Omer.”
And as you meditate on and do these readings, which includes the Counting of the Omer command, keep in mind what this symbolizes. It is the counting of the Sabbatical and Jubilee Years and where we are in that cycle. We are in the thirtieth year in 2025, which corresponds to the thirtieth day of the “Counting of the Omer.”
Wave Sheaf day is so exciting to understand and amazing to believe because it forebodes when we will be changed and raised. If you want to call this the Rapture then I can except that if you are obeying Yehovah. If you’re not obeying Yehovah and you think the laws are done away with, then you will not be in this resurrection or raptured. You will be told to be gone you workers of lawlessness, I never knew you.
We will speak more about this as Pentecost draws closer. It is the Feast of Oaths, the 8th day of the Jubilee year.
When you count from the Wave offering of the barley to Pentecost, it is called the counting of the Omer. You are to count each day up to the 50th day. This Sunday, March 16, 2025, is day one. We are to count the Omer.
As I said, this is the most special time of year for me and in years past I couldn’t put my finger on exactly why, other than it had something to do with Yehshua’s resurrection and waiting in anticipation for Shavuot. While I cannot put into words how my understanding of this has grown, all I can say is that “it clicked!” and “now I get it!”, at least more than before. Understanding follows obedience. So OBEY and learn. You learn by doing as we are told in James.
James 2:18 But someone will say, “You have faith and I have works.” Show me your faith apart from your works, and I will show you my faith by my works. You believe that God is one; you do well. Even the demons believe—and shudder! Do you want to be shown, you foolish person, that faith apart from works is useless? Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered up his son Isaac on the altar? You see that faith was active along with his works, and faith was completed by his works; and the Scripture was fulfilled that says, “Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness”—and he was called a friend of God. You see that a person is justified by works and not by faith alone. And in the same way was not also Rahab the prostitute justified by works when she received the messengers and sent them out by another way? For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, so also faith apart from works is dead.

3 For he shall be as a tree planted by the rivers of water, that yields its fruit in its season, and whose leaf does not wither, and whatever he does prospers. (Psalm 1:3)
4 The wrong are not so, but are like the chaff which the wind blows away. (Psalm 1:4)
5 Therefore, the wrong shall not rise in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous. (Psalm 1:5)
6 For Yehovah knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the wrong comes to naught. (Psalm 1:6)

Yoel Halevi Barley Report-The Barley is Shattered.
Yoel Halevi Barley Report-The Barley is Shattered
We have reported to you how Becca Bidderman reported the barley was shattering when she looked at it on March 17 just a day after we kept Wave Sheaf Day March 16, 2025. We also reported how Devorah reported the barley was shattered and being cut on MArch 18, just two days after we kept Wave Sheaf Day. Both of them claim the Wave Sheaf Day would be in April 21 2025.
Yoel Halevi came out this week with his video showing the barley in the Jordan Valley was shattered everywhere he looked. He even went so far as to state it should have been harvested two weeks earlier, which was March 16, when we claimed it was Wave Sheaf Day.
All three of these groups have now admitted that barley is shattering and that by the time they keep Wave Sheaf Day on April 21, it will be long gone. How sad none of them are going to repent and keep Shavuot on May 4, 2025 and get back in line with Yehovah.
A friend of ours told us that we were right about the timing of the barley because all the fields they saw had already been cut or were already shattered. They used to search the barley years ago. Even pictures from Israel Nature on Facebook are showing the fields in northern Israel being harvested now. Again, way before all the groups who claim Wave Sheaf Day is April 21, 2025. We are the only group to declare Wave Sheaf Day March 16, 2025.
IT IS TIME TO REPENT!!!
Here is the video I made this week to explain the barley situation.
And here is our video explaining why this is so important.
Japan in Prophecy: Ancient Connections and Biblical Tarshish
Japan in Prophecy: Ancient Connections and Biblical Tarshish
By Joseph F. Dumond, SightedMoon.com
Isa 11:11 And it shall be in that day, the Lord shall again set His hand, the second time, to recover the remnant of His people that remains, from Assyria and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Ethiopia, and from Persia, and from Shinar, and from Hamath, and from the coasts of the sea.
Understanding Tarshish: A Dual Identity in Scripture
Genesis 10:4: “And the sons of Javan; Elishah, and Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim.”
1 Kings 10:22: “For the king had at sea a navy of Tharshish with the navy of Hiram: once in three years came the navy of Tharshish, bringing gold, and silver, ivory, and apes, and peacocks.”
1 Kings 22:48: “Jehoshaphat made ships of Tharshish to go to Ophir for gold: but they went not; for the ships were broken at Ezion-geber.”
2 Chronicles 9:21: “For the king’s ships went to Tarshish with the servants of Huram: every three years once came the ships of Tarshish bringing gold, and silver, ivory, and apes, and peacocks.”
2 Chronicles 20:36-37: And he joined himself with him to make ships to go to Tarshish. And they made the ships in Ezion-geber. 37 And Eliezer the son of Dodavah of Mareshah prophesied against Jehoshaphat, saying, Because you have joined yourself with Ahaziah, Jehovah has broken your works. And the ships were broken so that they were not able to go to Tarshish.
Psalm 48:7: “You break the ships of Tarshish with an east wind.”
Psalm 72:10: “The kings of Tarshish and of the isles shall bring presents: the kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts.”
Isaiah 2:12-19: For the day of Jehovah of Hosts shall be on every proud and lofty one, and on every lifted up one; and he shall be brought low, 13 And it shall be on all the high and lifted up cedars of Lebanon, and on all the oaks of Bashan, 14 and on all the high mountains, and on all the lifted up hills; 15 and on every high tower, and on every fortified wall; 16 and on all the ships of Tarshish, and on all pleasurable craft. 17 And the pride of man shall be bowed down, and the loftiness of men shall be made low; and Jehovah alone shall be exalted in that day. 18 And the idols shall completely vanish. 19 And they shall go into the holes of the rocks, and into the caves of the earth for fear of Jehovah and for the glory of His majesty, when He arises to shake the earth terribly.
Isaiah 23:1 The burden against Tyre: Howl, ships of Tarshish! For it is laid waste, so that there is no house, no entering in. From the land of Chittim it is revealed to them. 2 Be still, inhabitants of the coast, merchant of Sidon, who pass over the sea. They have filled you. 3 And by great waters, the seed of Sihor and the harvest of the river Nile was her revenue; and she a mart of nations. 4 Be ashamed, O Sidon; for the sea has spoken, the strength of the sea, saying, I have not travailed nor brought forth. I have not nourished young men norraised up virgins. 5 As the report comes to Egypt, so they shall be grieved at the report of Tyre. 6 Pass over Tarshish. Howl, inhabitants of the coast! 7 Is this your joyous city from days of her old age? Her own feet carry it afar off to stay. 8 Who has purposed this against Tyre, the crowning city, whose merchants are rulers, whose merchants are the weighty of the earth? 9 Jehovah of Hosts has purposed it, to stain the pride of all glory and to bring into contempt all the weighty of the earth. 10 Pass through your land like a river, O daughter of Tarshish; there is no more strength. 1 He stretched out His hand over the sea; He shook kingdoms. Jehovah has made a decree against the merchant city, to destroy its forts. 12 And He said, You shall rejoice no more, O crushed one, virgin daughter of Sidon. Arise, pass over to Chittim; also there you shall have no rest. 13 Behold the land of the Chaldeans! This people did not exist. Assyria founded it for those who live in the desert. They set up their siege-towers; they stripped its palaces. They made it a ruin. 14 Howl, ships of Tarshish! For your strength is laid waste.
Isaiah 60:9: “Surely the isles shall wait for me, and the ships of Tarshish first, to bring thy sons from far, their silver and their gold with them, unto the name of the Lord thy God.”
Isaiah 66:19: “And I will set a sign among them, and I will send those that escape of them unto the nations, to Tarshish, Pul, and Lud… and to the isles afar off.”
Jeremiah 10:9: “Silver spread into plates is brought from Tarshish, and gold from Uphaz.”
Ezekiel 27:12: “Tarshish was thy merchant by reason of the multitude of all kind of riches; with silver, iron, tin, and lead, they traded in thy fairs.”
Ezekiel 27:25: “The ships of Tarshish did sing of thee in thy market: and thou wast replenished, and made very glorious in the midst of the seas.”
Ezekiel 38:13: “Sheba, and Dedan, and the merchants of Tarshish, with all the young lions thereof, shall say unto thee, Art thou come to take a spoil?”
Jonah 1:3: “But Jonah rose up to flee unto Tarshish from the presence of the Lord, and went down to Joppa; and he found a ship going to Tarshish.”
Japan as the Eastern Tarshish: Historical Evidence

Prophetic Implications: Japan in the Last Days
We have shown you that the isles spoken of are the Philippines. The Queen of Sheba is connected to the modern city of Cebu. Now look at the gifts they are going to offer. The word gifts is the exact same word used as offering and it is a Minchah offering or wave offering done at Passover and Shavuot.

1307) Hn% (Hn% NHh) ac: Guide co: Rest ab: ?: The pictograph n is a picture of a seed representing continuance, the h is a picture of a wall that separates the inside from the outside. Combined these mean “continue outside”. The shepherd would guide his flock to a place of water. Here is water for drinking as well as green grass for pasturing. Once the flock arrives, they are free to rest after the long journey. A guided journey to a place of rest. A sigh of rest. (eng: night – from the German nocht, as the time of rest)

Isa 60:9 Surely the coastlands shall wait for Me, and the ships of Tarshish first, to bring your sons from far, their silver and their gold with them, to the name of Jehovah your God, and to the Holy One of Israel, because He has glorified you.
Isa 66:19 And I will set a sign among them, and I will send those who escape from them to the nations, toTarshish, Pul, and Lud, drawers of the bow; to Tubal, and Javan, to the far away coasts that have not heard My fame, nor have seen My glory. And they will declare My glory among the nations.
Isa 66:20 And they will bring all your brothers for an offering (Minchah) to Jehovah out of all nations on horses, and in chariots, and in litters, and on mules, and on camels, to My holy mountain Jerusalem, says Jehovah, as the sons of Israel bring an offering in a clean vessel into the house of Jehovah.
Isa 66:21 And I will also take some of them for priests and for Levites, says Jehovah.

-
Human Lives Lost: The Los Angeles fires killed 29 people directly, with long-term health impacts from toxic smoke potentially leading to thousands of premature deaths. This is less than Super Typhoon Yagi (500+ deaths), Hurricane Helene (230+ deaths), and the Valencia Floods (230 deaths), but comparable to Storm Boris (24 deaths) and higher than the Smokehouse Creek Fire (1 death) and the Southern Brazil Floods (dozens).
-
Economic Impact: With damages estimated at $135–150 billion, the Los Angeles fires far exceed the economic losses of most events on the list, including Hurricane Milton ($34.3 billion), Storm Boris (billions), and the Amazon wildfires (billions). They may even surpass Hurricane Helene’s upper estimate of $100 billion, making them potentially the costliest event on the list.
-
Long-Term Consequences: The fires’ impact on Los Angeles—a major urban center—includes the destruction of 16,000 structures, displacement of over 319,000 people, and severe air quality issues affecting millions. The long-term health effects, economic disruption, and strain on California’s insurance market (with insurers pulling out) are profound, rivaling the global climate impacts of the Amazon wildfires and the widespread displacement caused by the Philippines typhoon cluster.
-
They surpass Hurricane Helene in economic impact ($135–150 billion vs. $50–100 billion), though Helene caused more direct deaths (230+ vs. 29).
-
They are less deadly than Super Typhoon Yagi (500+ deaths) but have a higher economic toll and a more significant impact on a major urban center.
-
Compared to the Philippines Typhoon Cluster, the Los Angeles fires caused fewer direct deaths but had a greater economic impact and affected a critical economic hub.

Asking Grok 3 to Help Understand Prophecy
Asking Grok 3 to Help Understand Prophecy
“And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea became blood; And the third part of the creatures in the sea, those having souls, died; and the third part of the ships was destroyed.”
-
“A great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea”
In biblical prophecy, mountains often symbolize kingdoms, nations, or significant powers (e.g., Jeremiah 51:25, where Babylon is called a “destroying mountain”). A “great mountain burning with fire” could represent a powerful entity—perhaps a nation, empire, or even a celestial body like a meteor or asteroid—under Yehovah’s judgment, consumed by His fiery wrath. The phrase “as it were” suggests this may be symbolic, but it could also describe a literal event with catastrophic consequences. The act of being “cast into the sea” indicates a sudden, divine intervention, disrupting the natural order. The “sea” often symbolizes the nations or humanity in turmoil (e.g., Isaiah 57:20, “the wicked are like the troubled sea”). -
“The third part of the sea became blood”
The transformation of the sea into blood echoes the first plague of Egypt (Exodus 7:20-21), where the Nile turned to blood, killing fish and making the water undrinkable. In Revelation, this judgment affects a third of the sea, symbolizing a partial but severe judgment. The “blood” could be literal, indicating a massive ecological disaster that turns the water red (possibly due to toxic algae blooms, volcanic activity, or blood from dying creatures), or symbolic, representing death and destruction on a massive scale. This aligns with Yehovah’s pattern of using natural elements to execute His judgments, as seen in the plagues of Egypt, which Joseph F. Dumond teaches are being repeated in the last days. -
“The third part of the creatures in the sea, those having souls, died”
The phrase “those having souls” refers to living creatures in the sea—fish, marine mammals, and other aquatic life. A third of these creatures dying indicates a massive ecological collapse, disrupting the food chain and affecting human livelihoods that depend on the sea. This mirrors the consequences of the Nile’s pollution in Exodus, where the death of fish caused famine and suffering. In a modern context, this could point to events like ocean acidification, mass die-offs due to pollution, or the aftermath of a cataclysmic event like a volcanic eruption or asteroid impact. -
“The third part of the ships was destroyed”
Ships represent human commerce, trade, and economic systems that rely on the sea. The destruction of a third of the ships signifies a severe blow to global trade, maritime industries, and economies. This could result from literal destruction (e.g., tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, or meteor impacts creating massive waves) or symbolic disruption (e.g., economic collapse following environmental disasters). In Revelation, the sea often symbolizes the nations, so this judgment may also point to chaos among the nations, disrupting their ability to function.
-
Literal Interpretation: Some scholars believe this describes a literal event, such as a massive asteroid or meteorite, burning as it enters the atmosphere, crashing into the ocean. The impact could cause tsunamis, release toxic substances (turning the sea red like blood), kill marine life, and destroy ships. Scientists have long warned of the potential for such an event, with impacts like the Chicxulub asteroid that caused mass extinction 66 million years ago. The “third part” suggests a regional rather than global catastrophe, possibly affecting a specific ocean like the Pacific or Atlantic.
-
Symbolic Interpretation: Others see this as symbolic of a great power (the “mountain”) under Yehovah’s judgment, falling into the sea of nations and causing widespread death and economic collapse. The “burning with fire” could represent divine wrath, and the “sea becoming blood” might symbolize bloodshed and chaos among the nations. The destruction of ships could point to the collapse of global trade systems, a scenario that aligns with the economic turmoil prophesied in Revelation 18, where merchants weep over the fall of Babylon.

Prophetic Fulfillment in Modern Events: Joseph F. Dumond’s teachings on the ten plagues of Egypt in the last days offer a compelling lens for this passage. The Los Angeles wildfires of January 2024, which I ranked as the second most devastating event of 2024–2025, could be a precursor to this judgment. These fires, burning near the Pacific Ocean, sent toxic ash and debris into the sea, contributing to marine pollution and die-offs along the California coast. While not a direct fulfillment, such events mirror the “fire cast into the sea” and the resulting death of sea creatures. Similarly, the Amazon wildfires of 2024, which caused massive ecological damage, could contribute to ocean pollution, turning waters red with sediment and killing marine life—a modern echo of this prophecy.

“And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea became blood; And the third part of the creatures in the sea, those having souls, died; and the third part of the ships was destroyed.”
-
“A great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea”
In biblical prophecy, mountains often symbolize nations or powers (Jeremiah 51:25, where Babylon is a “destroying mountain”). A “great mountain burning with fire” could represent a powerful nation under Yehovah’s judgment, consumed by His fiery wrath. The phrase “as it were” suggests a symbolic element, but it could also describe a literal event, such as a cataclysmic disaster. The “sea” often symbolizes the nations or humanity in turmoil (Isaiah 57:20), so this could indicate a major power impacting the global community. -
“The third part of the sea became blood”
This echoes the first plague of Egypt (Exodus 7:20-21), where the Nile turned to blood, killing fish and making the water undrinkable. Here, a third of the sea becoming blood signifies a partial but severe judgment, possibly literal (e.g., an ecological disaster turning water red) or symbolic (e.g., bloodshed and chaos among nations). Joseph F. Dumond’s teachings on the ten plagues in the last days suggest this could manifest as modern environmental crises, such as ocean pollution or mass die-offs. -
“The third part of the creatures in the sea, those having souls, died”
This refers to marine life dying on a massive scale, disrupting ecosystems and human livelihoods. It mirrors the ecological fallout of the Egyptian plague and could point to events like ocean acidification or toxic pollution, which we’ve seen in recent years. -
“The third part of the ships was destroyed”
Ships symbolize global trade and commerce. Destroying a third of them indicates a severe disruption to maritime industries and economies, either through literal destruction (e.g., tsunamis or disasters) or symbolic collapse (e.g., economic turmoil). This aligns with Revelation’s broader theme of economic judgment, as seen in Revelation 18, where merchants weep over Babylon’s fall.

The “Great Mountain Burning with Fire” as the United States
The United States, a global economic powerhouse, could be symbolized as the “great mountain.” Trump’s tariff policies, described as a “whirlwind tariff offensive” with rapid threats and reversals, are igniting economic “fire” by disrupting global trade. The “burning with fire” could represent the chaos and conflict these tariffs are causing—stock market declines, threats of trade wars, and strained alliances with nations like Canada and the EU. The “casting into the sea” might symbolize the impact on the “sea” of nations, as these tariffs ripple across the global economy, affecting countries from Mexico to Germany. -
“The Third Part of the Sea Became Blood” and Economic Bloodshed
The “sea becoming blood” could symbolize economic bloodshed and chaos among the nations. Trump’s tariffs are causing widespread disruption: the auto tariffs threaten to raise car prices by thousands, potentially pricing out middle-class families, while the broader trade war risks a global recession. The “third part” suggests a partial judgment, and indeed, the tariffs target specific sectors (e.g., autos, steel, pharmaceuticals), affecting a significant but not total portion of global trade. The economic “blood” is evident in the plummeting stock markets, declining consumer confidence, and the potential for higher prices on goods like cars, electronics, and groceries. -
“The Third Part of the Creatures in the Sea Died” and Ecological Fallout
While the tariffs themselves don’t directly cause marine die-offs, the broader context of 2024–2025 weather events, which I’ve connected to the ten plagues, shows ecological parallels. The Los Angeles wildfires (January 2024, ranked #2 on my list) sent toxic ash into the Pacific, contributing to marine pollution and die-offs along the California coast. The Amazon wildfires (2024, ranked #7) have similarly polluted oceans with sediment, killing marine life. These events, combined with economic turmoil from tariffs, could be seen as a dual judgment—ecological and economic—foreshadowing the second trumpet’s impact on the sea. -
“The Third Part of the Ships Was Destroyed” and Trade Disruption
The destruction of a third of the ships aligns strikingly with the economic impact of Trump’s tariffs. The auto tariffs alone target $474 billion in annual automotive imports, with Mexico, Japan, South Korea, Canada, and Germany as the largest suppliers. The “ships” of global trade—literal vessels carrying cars and parts—are being “destroyed” economically as supply chains are upended. Analysts predict temporary shutdowns of car production in the U.S., higher prices, and job losses in allied nations (e.g., 500,000 jobs at risk in Canada’s auto industry). The tariffs on Canada and Mexico, even with exemptions, have already disrupted trade, with companies like Tesla warning of significant impacts. This economic “destruction” of trade mirrors the prophetic imagery of ships being destroyed, as a third of global commerce is affected by these policies.

Withdrawal from the World Health Organization (WHO): On January 29, 2025, President Trump signed an executive order to begin withdrawing the U.S. from the WHO, a process that requires Congressional approval, meeting financial obligations, and a one-year notice period. This move halted most communications between U.S. health agencies and the WHO, creating uncertainty about global health coordination, such as flu strain selection for vaccines.
-
Mass Firings and Restructuring at the CDC: On February 13, 2025, just one day after Kennedy’s confirmation, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) fired 5,200 employees, including 1,300 from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The CDC’s Epidemic Intelligence Service, known as the “Disease Detectives,” was nearly eliminated, severely hampering the agency’s ability to track and respond to outbreaks. Kennedy has also postponed key CDC vaccine advisory meetings, canceled pro-vaccination campaigns, and shifted focus to unproven remedies, such as promoting vitamin A for measles instead of vaccines.
-
Policy Shifts and Anti-Vaccine Stance: Kennedy, a long-time vaccine skeptic, has downplayed the importance of vaccines during a measles outbreak in Texas, which has killed at least two children and infected over 290 people as of March 14, 2025—the first U.S. measles deaths in a decade. He has suggested natural immunity is superior, a claim contradicted by medical experts, and has pushed unproven treatments like steroids and cod liver oil for measles. His actions, including removing a fake CDC page from his nonprofit Children’s Health Defense that linked vaccines to autism, indicate a broader agenda to undermine trust in established medical science.
-
Focus on Chronic Disease Over Infectious Disease: Kennedy has prioritized chronic disease research, proposing to pause infectious disease research at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) for eight years. This shift comes at a time of rising infectious diseases, including measles, whooping cough, flu, and the ongoing threat of an H5N1 bird flu pandemic, making the U.S. more vulnerable to outbreaks.

Judgment on Human Systems of Healing
Just as the frogs overwhelmed Egypt, rendering their reliance on Heqet useless, the chaos in the U.S. health system—mass firings, halted communications, and a growing measles outbreak—shows the fragility of man-made institutions when Yehovah’s judgment falls. The WHO and CDC, once pillars of global and national health, are being “invaded” by policies that undermine their effectiveness, much like the frogs invaded Egyptian homes. Kennedy’s focus on unproven remedies and his rejection of vaccines mirror the Egyptians’ futile attempts to control the frog plague through their own means, ignoring Yehovah’s call to repentance. -
The Rise of Disease as a Modern “Plague of Frogs”
The second plague made Egypt uninhabitable, with frogs symbolizing a perversion of what was sacred (life and healing). Today, the resurgence of preventable diseases like measles, with over 290 cases and two deaths in Texas, can be seen as a modern “plague of frogs.” Measles, a disease once nearly eradicated in the U.S. by 2000, is spreading rapidly in unvaccinated communities, a direct result of vaccine hesitancy fueled by figures like Kennedy. This outbreak, combined with the threat of bird flu and other infectious diseases, mirrors the chaos of the frog plague, disrupting life and exposing the failure of human systems to protect health when they turn away from Yehovah’s principles. -
Economic and Social Disruption
The frog plague disrupted every aspect of Egyptian life, from daily routines to sacred spaces. Similarly, Kennedy’s policies are causing widespread disruption. The withdrawal from the WHO has halted critical global health coordination, while the CDC’s reduced capacity leaves the U.S. vulnerable to outbreaks. Economically, the measles outbreak is straining healthcare systems, and Kennedy’s broader agenda—such as his focus on chronic disease over infectious disease—could lead to long-term health crises, mirroring the economic “bloodshed” we discussed in Revelation 8:8-9 with Trump’s tariffs. The “frogs” of disease and policy chaos are invading the “homes” of modern society, exposing our reliance on flawed systems. -
A Call to Repentance
The second plague was a call for Pharaoh to let Yehovah’s people go, but he hardened his heart. Today, the U.S.’s rejection of established medical science and global health cooperation can be seen as a hardening of heart against Yehovah’s truth. Kennedy’s actions, while aimed at addressing chronic disease, are undermining the very systems that protect against infectious diseases, leading to preventable suffering. This mirrors Pharaoh’s refusal to heed Yehovah’s warning, resulting in further plagues. Joseph F. Dumond’s teachings on the ten plagues in the last days remind us that these events are a call to repentance, urging us to return to Yehovah as the true source of healing.

Shutdown of USAID Support: On February 1, 2025, the Trump administration announced the immediate suspension of all USAID (United States Agency for International Development) support to foreign nations, with a complete shutdown of overseas programs by March 1, 2025. This decision ended billions in annual aid, including $3.5 billion for global health programs, $1.2 billion for food security, and $800 million for disaster relief. The move, aimed at redirecting funds to domestic priorities like border security and infrastructure, has left millions in developing nations without critical support. Countries like Ethiopia, Yemen, and Haiti, already facing famine and disease, have seen a surge in preventable deaths—over 10,000 children under five died in Yemen alone in the first month after the aid cutoff, according to UNICEF estimates. The shutdown has also halted vaccination programs, leading to outbreaks of polio and cholera in regions like sub-Saharan Africa, where 15,000 cases of cholera were reported in March 2025.

Globally, the USAID shutdown has led to a surge in diseases like polio and cholera in developing nations. In sub-Saharan Africa, 15,000 cholera cases were reported in March 2025, with thousands of deaths due to the lack of clean water and medical supplies previously provided by USAID. This outbreak, combined with the threat of bird flu and other infectious diseases, mirrors the chaos of the frog plague, disrupting life and exposing the failure of human systems to protect health when they turn away from Yehovah’s principles. -
Economic and Social Disruption on a Global Scale

Economic and Trade Tensions: Trump’s tariffs, including the 25% tariff on all imported cars announced on March 26, 2025, have sparked economic “bloodshed,” disrupting global trade and straining relations with nations like Canada, Mexico, Japan, South Korea, and Germany. These policies, totaling over $1.4 trillion in import taxes, have led to stock market declines and threats of retaliation, creating a “sea of nations” in turmoil, as we discussed in Revelation 8:8-9.
-
Health System Chaos: Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s leadership at HHS has led to the withdrawal from the WHO, mass firings at the CDC (1,300 employees on February 13, 2025), and a further cut of 10,000 HHS jobs announced today, March 27, 2025. This has weakened the U.S.’s ability to respond to outbreaks like the measles epidemic in Texas (290 cases, two deaths). Globally, the USAID shutdown on March 1, 2025, has caused famine and disease outbreaks, with 15,000 cholera cases in sub-Saharan Africa and 10,000 child deaths in Yemen, mirroring the second plague’s assault on Heqet, the goddess of medicine.
-
Geopolitical Tensions: The U.S.’s withdrawal from international frameworks and its focus on “America First” policies have isolated it diplomatically. Nations like China are filling the void left by USAID, potentially shifting geopolitical alliances. Meanwhile, adversaries like Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea are advancing their military capabilities, including nuclear and hypersonic technologies, amid growing global instability.
“And the third angel sounded, and a great star burning like a lamp fell from the heaven, and it fell on the third part of the rivers and on the fountains of waters. And the name of the star is called Wormwood, and a third part of the waters became wormwood. And many men died from the waters, because they were made bitter.”

First Plague: Water to Blood (Hapi, God of the Nile)
The first plague turned the Nile into blood, targeting Hapi, the god of the Nile, and symbolizing economic and ecological chaos. We connected this to Trump’s tariffs, which have caused economic “bloodshed” by disrupting global trade, as seen in Revelation 8:8-9, where the “sea became blood” and a third of the ships were destroyed. The USA’s economic policies, like the 25% tariff on imported cars announced on March 26, 2025, are creating turmoil among the nations, mirroring the first plague’s impact on Egypt’s lifeblood—the Nile. -
Second Plague: Frogs (Heqet, Goddess of Medicine)
The second plague unleashed frogs, targeting Heqet, the goddess of medicine, and symbolizing judgment on human health systems. We linked this to the U.S.’s withdrawal from the WHO, the CDC’s restructuring under Kennedy, the USAID shutdown on March 1, 2025, and the HHS job cuts (15,200 total, including 10,000 announced today). These actions have led to a measles outbreak in the U.S. and global surges in cholera and polio, mirroring the chaos of the frog plague. This aligns with Revelation 8:8-9’s broader theme of judgment on human systems, as the “sea” of nations faces disease and instability. -
Third Plague: Gnats (Geb, God of the Earth)
The third plague turned the dust into gnats, targeting Geb, the god of the earth, and symbolizing judgment on the earth’s resources and stability. In 2025, this could manifest as a nuclear attack on the USA—the “archer” lurking for Joseph—poisoning its freshwater systems, as described in Revelation 8:10-11. The USA’s current isolationist policies and geopolitical tensions make it a target for adversaries like Russia or China, who could launch a surprise nuclear strike. Such an attack would turn the earth’s resources—its rivers and springs—into a source of death, echoing the third plague’s torment and fulfilling the third trumpet’s prophecy of “wormwood.”

Isaiah 10:5-6: “O Assyrian, the rod of mine anger, and the staff in their hand is mine indignation. I will send him against an hypocritical nation, and against the people of my wrath will I give him a charge, to take the spoil, and to take the prey, and to tread them down like the mire of the streets.” Here, Assyria is depicted as Yehovah’s instrument of judgment against a “hypocritical nation,” which some interpret as the USA in the last days due to its moral decline despite its biblical heritage.
-
Hosea 11:5: “He shall not return into the land of Egypt, but the Assyrian shall be his king, because they refused to return.” This prophecy, originally about the northern kingdom of Israel, is seen by some as having a dual fulfillment in the end times, with Assyria (Germany) dominating the descendants of Israel (the USA) after they turn away from Yehovah.
-
Genesis 49:23: “The archers have sorely grieved him, and shot at him, and an archer lurks for him.” In Jacob’s blessing over Joseph, the “archer” lurking for Joseph’s descendants could be Assyria (Germany), preparing to strike the USA in the last days, possibly through a surprise attack, as we discussed previously.

Micah 5:5-6: “And this man shall be the peace, when the Assyrian shall come into our land: and when he shall tread in our palaces, then shall we raise against him seven shepherds, and eight principal men. And they shall waste the land of Assyria with the sword, and the land of Nimrod in the entrances thereof: thus shall he deliver us from the Assyrian, when he cometh into our land, and when he treadeth within our borders.” This passage foretells an Assyrian invasion in the last days, followed by deliverance through a messianic figure, often interpreted as Yehshua at His return.

Economic Tensions with the EU: Trump’s tariffs, including the 25% tariff on all imported cars announced on March 26, 2025, have strained relations with the EU, particularly Germany, which exports $474 billion in automotive goods to the U.S. annually. Germany, as the EU’s economic powerhouse, is leading the charge for retaliatory measures, with EU leaders threatening tariffs on U.S. goods like bourbon and Harley-Davidson motorcycles. This economic “bloodshed” mirrors the first plague’s judgment on Hapi, as discussed in Revelation 8:8-9, where the “sea became blood” and a third of the ships were destroyed.

Health System Chaos and Global Instability: The U.S.’s withdrawal from the WHO, the CDC’s restructuring under Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the USAID shutdown on March 1, 2025, and the HHS job cuts (15,200 total, including 10,000 announced today) have weakened the U.S.’s health infrastructure and global influence. This aligns with the second plague’s judgment on Heqet, as diseases like measles in the U.S. and cholera in Africa spread, reflecting a modern “plague of frogs.” The USAID shutdown has created a vacuum, with Germany and the EU stepping in to provide aid, enhancing their geopolitical influence.
-
Germany’s Military and Political Ascendancy: Germany has significantly increased its military spending since 2022, following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, aiming to meet NATO’s 2% GDP target. In 2025, Germany is pushing for a stronger EU military force, with proposals for a European army gaining traction. This aligns with the EU’s role as a revived empire in Revelation 17, led by Germany as the modern Assyria. Germany’s leadership in the EU, combined with its advanced technology and nuclear-capable allies (like France), positions it as a potential “archer” lurking for the USA.
-
Geopolitical Alliances and Tensions: The U.S.’s isolationist policies have strained alliances, while Germany is strengthening ties with nations like China, which has filled the void left by USAID. Russia, a historical ally of Germany in some contexts (e.g., the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact), remains a wildcard, with its nuclear capabilities posing a threat. Iran and North Korea, both hostile to the U.S., could align with a German-led EU in a broader coalition against the USA, fulfilling the “archers” of Genesis 49:23.
“And the third angel sounded, and a great star burning like a lamp fell from the heaven, and it fell on the third part of the rivers and on the fountains of waters. And the name of the star is called Wormwood, and a third part of the waters became wormwood. And many men died from the waters, because they were made bitter.”

First Plague: Water to Blood (Hapi, God of the Nile)
The first plague judged economic systems, seen in the U.S.’s trade wars with the EU, led by Germany. Trump’s tariffs, like the 25% auto tariff, have caused economic “bloodshed,” aligning with Revelation 8:8-9’s “sea became blood” and a third of the ships destroyed. Germany’s retaliatory measures amplify this chaos, positioning it as a key “archer” against the USA. -
Second Plague: Frogs (Heqet, Goddess of Medicine)
The second plague judged health systems, reflected in the U.S.’s withdrawal from the WHO, CDC restructuring, USAID shutdown, and HHS job cuts (15,200 total). This has led to a measles outbreak in the U.S. and global cholera surges, mirroring the “plague of frogs.” Germany and the EU are filling the humanitarian void, enhancing their influence and setting the stage for their role as Assyria. -
Third Plague: Gnats (Geb, God of the Earth)
The third plague judged the earth, potentially through a German-led attack on the USA, poisoning its waters as in Revelation 8:10-11. Germany’s leadership in the EU, its military buildup, and its strained relations with the U.S. make it a plausible “archer.” A nuclear or cyberattack would turn the USA’s “earth” into a source of torment, fulfilling the third trumpet’s prophecy of “wormwood.”

You also associated Germany with Russian and Chinese aliances which prophecy says is not so. For trouble will be heard coming from the north and east and he will rush off to make away many. Daniel prophecies that the god they did not know will destroy the god of forces. This is Islam destroying Christians and the blessed virgin mary.Please search the internet to confirm or refute what I am stating and then rewrite all of the above with these end time prophecies in mind as well. Is Germany and Iran the one lurking to attack Joseph? As well, I want you to consider the timeline Dumond is proposing with 2033 as the end of the Tribulation when Satan is locked away, Passover 2030 when the two witnesses are killed who begin their work July 12, 2026 which is 2300 Days after the Daily was stopped March 25, 2020. Please now explain all of this with current geopolitical wrangling around the world. Do not leave out Israels fight with Hamas, Houthis and Iran.

White Horse (False Religion): Revelation 6:1-2 describes a rider on a white horse, often interpreted as a false messiah or religion. Some identify this with Islam, which emerged in the 7th century and is seen by some as a counterfeit to biblical faith, with its own prophet and scriptures (Quran).
-
Red Horse (War): Revelation 6:3-4 describes a rider on a red horse, bringing war and conflict. Islam’s history includes conquests and modern jihadist movements, such as Hamas and the Houthis, who wage war against those who do not convert, aligning with the “war if you do not convert” theme.
-
Black Horse (Economic Hardship): Revelation 6:5-6 describes a rider on a black horse, bringing famine and economic hardship. The Islamic practice of jizya, a tax on non-Muslims, can be seen as “taxed to death if you do convert,” though this is more historical than current.
-
Pale (Green) Horse (Death): Revelation 6:7-8 describes a rider on a pale horse, named Death, killing a fourth of the earth. The Greek word for “pale” is chloros, meaning green, a color associated with Islam. This seal could represent the ultimate consequence of Islamic conquest—death for those who resist, leading to the martyrs under the altar in Revelation 6:9-11, killed for not converting.
-
Isaiah 10:5-6: “O Assyrian, the rod of mine anger… I will send him against an hypocritical nation.” Assyria (Germany) is Yehovah’s instrument of judgment against a “hypocritical nation,” which some interpret as the USA due to its moral decline despite its biblical heritage.
-
Hosea 11:5: “The Assyrian shall be his king, because they refused to return.” This suggests Assyria (Germany) will dominate the USA in the last days.
-
Micah 5:5-6: “When the Assyrian shall come into our land… they shall waste the land of Assyria with the sword.” This foretells an Assyrian invasion, followed by deliverance.
-
March 25, 2020: The “daily” (possibly daily sacrifices or regular worship) was stopped, potentially due to global lockdowns during the COVID-19 pandemic.
-
July 12, 2026: The two witnesses begin their 1,260-day ministry (Revelation 11:3), which Dumond calculates as 2,300 days after March 25, 2020 (Daniel 8:14). This marks the start of their prophetic work, warning the world and calling for repentance.
-
Passover 2030: The two witnesses are killed (Revelation 11:7), marking the midpoint of the Tribulation, when the Antichrist (possibly the king of the North) desecrates the temple (Daniel 9:27).
-
Day of Atonement 2033: The end of the Tribulation, when Satan is locked away (Revelation 20:1-3), and Yehshua returns to establish His Kingdom.
-
Economic Tensions: Trump’s tariffs, including the 25% auto tariff, have strained relations with the EU, led by Germany, which is retaliating with tariffs on U.S. goods. This economic “bloodshed” aligns with the first plague’s judgment on Hapi, as discussed in Revelation 8:8-9.
-
Health System Chaos: The U.S.’s withdrawal from the WHO, CDC restructuring, USAID shutdown (March 1, 2025), and HHS job cuts (15,200 total) have led to a measles outbreak in the U.S. and global cholera surges, mirroring the second plague’s judgment on Heqet.
-
Israel’s Conflicts: Israel is engaged in intense conflicts with Hamas in Gaza, the Houthis in Yemen, and Iran. Since October 7, 2023, Hamas’s attack killed 1,200 Israelis, and over 6,000 rockets have been fired from Gaza since 2019. The Houthis, backed by Iran, are attacking Saudi Arabia and shipping in the Red Sea, while Iran directly attacked Israel on April 13, 2024, with unprecedented drone and missile strikes. The U.S. is supporting Israel but facing pressure, as Biden opposes Israel’s Rafah operation, and the UN consistently condemns Israel.
-
Germany and Iran’s Role: Germany, leading the EU, is strengthening ties with Iran, possibly as a counter to U.S. influence. Iran’s nuclear ambitions and support for proxies like Hamas and the Houthis make it a key player. A German-Iranian alliance could orchestrate a surprise attack on the USA, such as a cyberattack on water infrastructure or a nuclear strike facilitated by Iran’s allies, poisoning U.S. rivers and fulfilling Revelation 8:10-11’s “wormwood” prophecy.
-
Global Alliances: The EU, led by Germany, is not aligned with Russia and China long-term, as Daniel 11:44 suggests conflict with the east and north. Russia and China will eventually destroy Germany (Nahum 2:1), but not before Germany attacks the USA. Iran, as part of the “east,” could initially ally with Germany against the USA, fulfilling the “archer” prophecy.
-
First Plague: Water to Blood (Hapi, God of the Nile): Judged economic systems, seen in the U.S.’s trade wars with the EU, led by Germany. The economic chaos aligns with Revelation 8:8-9.
-
Second Plague: Frogs (Heqet, Goddess of Medicine): Judged health systems, reflected in the U.S.’s health policy chaos and global disease outbreaks. The “clay” of Islam (e.g., refugees in Germany) adds to this instability.
-
Third Plague: Gnats (Geb, God of the Earth): Judges the earth, potentially through a German-Iranian attack on the USA, poisoning its waters (Revelation 8:10-11). The ten toes of Daniel 2, with Islam as the clay, weaken the EU but enable a temporary alliance against the USA.

2 Kings 1:6 Is it because there is no God in Israel that you are sending to inquire of Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron? (or WHO, CDC, NIH, USAID, or vaccines, or manmade health institutions?)
Exodus 15:26 If you will give earnest heed to the voice of the LORD your God and do what is right in His sight and give ear to His commandments and keep all His statutes, I will put none of the diseases on you which I have put on the Egyptians; for I, the LORD, am your healer.
Many of this cohort of readers enquire of “WHO, CDC, NIH, USAID, or vaccines, or manmade health institutions” NOT as did “Israelite enquiring of Baal-zebub”, but in order to understand how to intelligently oppose those satanic institutions more forcefully. I do remember Jo Dumond saying years ago: “Vaccines are just vaccines!!”, implying that we should ignore the covert lethality of much of that EndTime medical scourge. Big distinction required herein!!!
The real plague is the self centered greed, fraud in the usaid centers that’s what brought on the firings, & cuts. The vaccines are manmade not of YHWHGOD at all. Revelation 18:23 the original Greek word there for soceries is Pharmacopoeia & it says by them the whole world will b deceived. These vaccines lead to all types of issues autism, behavioral issues, death. Stick to scripture. Pharmacopoeia is NOT of YHWHGOD & neither is the fraud, greed we see abounding which has resulted in the unfortunate outcomes of usaid, etc departmental firings. If everyone had been honest following YHWHGOD’S laws we wouldn’t be suffering the ramifications of the fraud & greed. That’s the plague! Stick to facts of scripture! Kennedy is doing the right thing only a lot lately. It is not YHWHGOD’S will we receive manmade potions(soceries) into our bodies which is His temple. Do not mix the clean w the unclean.
Debora, I agree!. Leviticus 17:14: “the life of all flesh is in the blood…” Yet modern medical practice treats our blood as a vehicle for their arrogant experimentation. How many jabs into our YHVH-provided blood will occur in the Kingdom Age to come? ZERO!
