		<title>Is Peace Possible?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Trump’s “Peace Deal” is only a Memorandum of Understanding, which sets the framework for a peace deal. An MOU is non-binding. It only sets forth intentions, not actual agreements. Right now, there are three different countries, each pulling in different directions: USA, Israel, and Iran.
Furthermore, Netanyahu clearly shows his displeasure and is refusing to back down on his invasion of Lebanon. The Trump team is already signaling that Iran cannot be trusted and will immediately break “the deal” as soon as it is signed. This seems to be a setup for an excuse to go back to war while blaming Iran.
From a prophetic standpoint, my watch dates for a resumption of a hot war are in the first half of July. So we will see how things progress in the coming weeks.
Here is a discussion about the situation with Lt. Col. Daniel Davis.

		<title>Israeli casualties of war</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Censorship in Israel is tight, making it virtually illegal to report the deaths of Israeli soldiers in their war against Iran and Lebanon—unless the news reports only the official numbers. So I find the following report to be somewhat ironic, because they report over 9,100 “injured,” and yet the videos are taken at a cemetery. (I have noticed the same &#x00022;injury&#x00022; reports in many news articles, and they never tell us how many were actually killed, unless the government releases its own (low) figure.)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xtTRxma60Us
It is more difficult to hide the number of injured soldiers, because the doctors and nurses in the hospitals keep records of those that they have to treat. The number of soldiers killed is easier to hide.
Official government statistics admit only 43 Israelis killed (27 civilians and 16 military personnel). Normally, casualties run about 6:1, or 6 injured for every 1 killed. So if 9,100 were injured,]]></description>

		<title>Biblical Revelation in Chinese Writing, part 3</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Genesis 1:2 says,
2 The earth was formless and void, and darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was moving over the surface of the waters.
We also read in Genesis 1:6, 7,
6 Then God said, “Let there be an expanse in the midst of the waters, and let it separate the waters from the waters.” 7 God made the expanse, and separated the waters which were below the expanse from the waters which were above the expanse; and it was so.
Thus the Bible explicitly speaks of waters below and waters above, separated by the raqia (firmament, expanse).
The Chinese word for “Spirit” is 靈. At the top is: 雨 (yǔ), “rain.” Throughout Chinese tradition, rain was viewed as a heavenly blessing descending from above. The character was originally a picture, not a compound built from independent radicals. Nonetheless, when we separate the radicals on which “rain” is constructed, we see three main components: 一 (heaven, sky, above), 冂 (cover, canopy, perhaps a cloud layer),]]></description>

		<title>Headline: &#x00022;Trump begins all-out war&#x00022;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EXI0cFyv7KE
Last week I wrote about the February 26-28, 2001 pattern where, in spiritual warfare, we were attacked in an “all-out war.” This was a further development of the original 1983 pattern of a 40-day period from February 28 to April 8, 1983. That time frame (40 days to April 8) manifested this year in the so-called “40-day war” in which US and Israel attacked Iran. They reached a fragile ceasefire on April 8, 2026.
I also wrote about a possible “world war” coming in July, based on the 2001 pattern of events. More specifically, the spiritual battles in 2001 began June 30 and climaxed July 11. This means we should consider this to be current “watch dates,” most likely connected to the US war on Iran for daring to challenge Israeli hegemony in the region.
The so-called “ceasefire” was just a less-bad time and was used to rearm. In other words, the ceasefire was a time of preparation for the real war.]]></description>

		<title>Biblical Revelation in Chinese Writing, part 2</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Adam was made from the dust of the ground into a living soul (Genesis 2:7). The Chinese word for “to create” is 创 造 (chuàngzào).

创 (chuàng) = to initiate, establish, begin, found, create
造 (zào) = to make, build, construct, manufacture

Together, 创造 means “to create, to bring into existence, or to originate.” Historically, the earliest meaning of the first character chuàng was related to “cutting open” or “beginning something by making an incision.” From the idea of opening a new way came the extended meanings: to initiate, to found, to start, to create.
The second character造 (zào) consists of:

辶 (man walking/movement radical at the bottom, hair on top). Also: 儿
告 (gào) — to announce or proclaim

Traditional analysis of gào breaks this down into two parts:

牛 (niú) — ox
口 (kǒu) — mouth

The word gào correlates with Genesis 1:3, “Then God said…” He spoke things as an announcement of something coming into existence.]]></description>

		<title>Biblical Revelation in Chinese Writing, part 1</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The earliest Chinese were monotheistic, referring to the Creator God as Shang Ti, “Heavenly Emperor.” Today it is more commonly spelled Shangdi. Literally:
上 (shàng) = above, upper, supreme, highest. The ancient form depicts something above a reference line, meaning “above, upward, highest, supreme.” It conveys exaltation and transcendence.
帝 (dì) = emperor, sovereign, ruler, lord. In modern Chinese it means “emperor, sovereign.” But in ancient texts di referred to a supreme ruler or divine sovereign.
In ancient Chinese thought, Shangdi was regarded as the supreme heavenly authority above all lesser spirits and ancestral powers. The title appears very early in Chinese history, especially in the oracle bone inscriptions of the Shang Dynasty (c. 1600–1046 B.C.). The Shang kings offered sacrifices to Shangdi and viewed him as Ruler of heaven, Controller of weather, Giver of victory, and Judge of nations.
Unlike many pagan deities,]]></description>

		<title>The Mideast war heats up again</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If you have followed the news regarding the Mideast conflict, you will recall that the Israelis and US forces aggressively attacked Iran on February 28, 2026. This opened up Pandora’s Box, which they will probably not be able to close again.
After 40 days, a “ceasefire” was announced on April 8. The date itself follows the prophetic pattern set in 1983, where a 40-day cycle was established from February 28 to April, 1983. Recall that from March 10 to April 8, 1983 I made a 30-day trip within that 40-day period.
Anyway, the ceasefire was supposed to include Lebanon, but the Israelis insisted otherwise. So it was inevitable that the ceasefire would eventually fall apart. The Israelis decided to use the opportunity to invade Lebanon once again and to seize more land for their “Greater Israel” project. They claim that they want a “buffer zone,” but once they establish that buffer zone, they will annex it, bring in more settlers, and then they will have to defend it with another buffer zone,]]></description>

		<title>7.8 Richter earthquake in the Philippines</title>
		<description><![CDATA[https://news.abplive.com/news/world/7-8-earthquake-hits-philippines-buildings-collapse-students-caught-on-camera-holding-each-other-1848794

“The Philippines was hit by a 7.8 magnitude earthquake Monday morning. Videos show buildings collapsing in General Santos, and authorities warn aftershocks may follow.
“A powerful earthquake of 7.8 magnitude struck the Philippines on Monday morning, May 7, sending shockwaves across the region. The ground shook three times within the first hour, leaving behind a trail of destruction. Videos circulating on social media show buildings reduced to rubble, with offices and schools bearing the brunt of the damage.
“In some areas, walls cracked, and household items fell as residents scrambled for safety. The scale of the destruction has raised serious concerns about casualties and structural damage across the affected zones.”

I know General Santos City very well. The locals call it Gensan. Here is my report from 2013.

		<title>Pakistan report</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I received this report from Pastor Fiaz today…
Hello.
By the grace of God, the work of God’s Kingdom Ministries Pakistan is progressing very well. This week, we conducted programs at three different locations where people from various churches were taught using your books.
At one of our centers, we are teaching through the Book of Jonah, while at the Damoki Center we are instructing people about the Kingdom of God. Today, Faith Theological Seminary held a class on the preparation of research proposals and thesis outlines for its students, and I had the privilege of leading that session. During the class, I not only introduced the students to our ministry and its work but also shared information about your books. In addition, I presented each student with copies of Haggai and The Two Covenants as gifts.
Tomorrow morning, I have also been invited to speak at a church,]]></description>

		<title>Projections for July and September</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Early this year, we discerned that the spiritual wars that we fought in 2001 were about to bubble to the surface in 2026. This was confirmed on February 28, and all of the watch dates (about the war) since then have proven to be linked to 2001.
That leads us to the watch dates in July and September this year. Recall from 2001 that we fought a series of “skirmishes” from June 30 to July 11, 2001, culminating in what we saw as “world war.” In my notes for July 11, 2001 I wrote, “America attacked.” Two months later (according to the 1980 revelation that “July is like September”), this was one headline:
https://avalon.law.yale.edu/sept11/president_008.asp
Because we foresaw this on July 11, 2001, we understood that the spiritual attack would resurface two months later on September 11.  The date was also important because September 11, 2001 was 3 years after President Bill Clinton humbled himself at the White House prayer breakfast (September 11, 1998). Tom Brokaw, the news anchor,]]></description>

		<title>Ministry progress report</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It is always good to finish up a project. Having finished writing the commentary on Second Peter, our arsenal of commentaries now includes all of the New Testament writers. This broadens our understanding of the word itself.
Today my wife finished proofing First Peter, which was finished a month ago. It still has to be proofed by my son Joel, who always manages to find a few typos that Darla missed, even though she reads through each new book twice before passing it on to Joel. I think we spend more time in the proofing stage than in the actual writing itself. I do the formatting and the basic editing for content, but they save me a lot of time and tedious work by proofreading the books.
We are planning to offer both of Peter’s epistles in a single volume (i.e., Book 1 and Book 2), perhaps in late July.
We have also been proofing the commentary on Zechariah. Darla has finished her part, and Joel is nearing the end of his proofreading as well. I included many color pictures in Zechariah,]]></description>

		<title>Second Peter, final, New Heavens, New Earth</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The final section forms the climax of Peter&#x00027;s epistle. He has exposed false teachers (chapter 2), answered the mockers (3:1–9), and now concludes by showing how believers should live in light of God&#x00027;s coming intervention in history.
2 Peter 3:10 says,
10 But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, in which the heavens will pass away with a roar [rhoizedon] and the elements [stoicheia] will be destroyed with intense heat, and the earth and its works will be burned up.
“The Day of the Lord” is an expression that has a long Old Testament history, referring to the end of the age when God judges the nations as a whole. Isaiah 13:6, 9 says,
6 Wail, for the day of the Lord is near! It will come as destruction from the Almighty. 9 Behold, the day of the Lord is coming, cruel, with fury and burning anger, to make the land [ancient territory of Israel] a desolation; and He will exterminate the sinners from it.
See also Joel 2:1, 31; Amos 5:18-20; and Zephaniah 1:14-18.]]></description>

		<title>Second Peter, part 8, Reminders of God&#x00027;s Patience</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Peter begins this final chapter by reminding his readers that his purpose is not to present new doctrines but to awaken their memory. 2 Peter 3:1, 2 says,
1 This is now, beloved, the second letter I am writing to you in which I am stirring up your sincere mind by way of reminder, 2 that you should remember the words spoken beforehand by the holy prophets, and the commandment of the Lord and Savior spoken by your apostles.
The Greek word translated “sincere” (eilikrinēs) carries the idea of something pure, unmixed, and tested by sunlight. Peter believes that truth is often preserved not by novelty but by faithful remembrance. From a practical standpoint, what we know is not merely what we have studied but what we remember afterward when communicating it with others.
The advantage that teachers have is that when they teach others, they discover how much they remember and how much they have forgotten.]]></description>

		<title>Second Peter, part 7, Lessons from Balaam</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In 2 Peter 2:11, 12 (quoted earlier), we read about the “self-willed” prophets and false teachers who are “like unreasoning animals” who live by animal instinct alone. These are people who have received the heart and mind of a beast (Daniel 4:16). This is prophetic terminology showing how the empires of men inevitably degenerate into animal instincts of self-preservation and in viewing “grass” (people) as their food. They are not led by the Spirit of God.
Carnal rulers have always considered it to be their right to enslave the common people and to live off their labor. But more recently, in the 19th century, Darwin’s evolutionary theory set forth the idea that all men are mere animals who have evolved intellectually. Scripture, on the other hand, shows that man has devolved from sons of God to children of the flesh, reflecting “the image of the earthy” (1 Corinthians 15:29).]]></description>

By the grace of the Lord, the month of May was a very blessed and fruitful time for our ministry. During this month, we not only conducted seminars but also organized several educational programs through which we introduced people to the deeper truths and mysteries of Scripture using your books.
This month, we were invited to Narowal, where we conducted a full-day seminar. During this seminar, we taught several chapters from The Laws of the Second Coming. The participants listened with great interest and appreciation, and many expressed how much they benefited from the teachings.
In addition, we visited Sheikh Rajada, Aziz Colony, and Damoki, where we also taught from your books and shared the biblical insights they contain. At each location,]]></description>

		<title>Second Peter, part 6, Rescuing from Judgment</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After citing the examples of the flood and the rescue of Noah, Peter’s next example of divine judgment is Sodom and Gomorrah and the rescue of Lot. 2 Peter 2:6-9 says,
6 and if He condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah to destruction by reducing them to ashes, having made them an example to those who would live ungodly lives thereafter; 7 and if He rescued righteous Lot, oppressed by sensual conduct of unprincipled men 8 (for by what he saw and heard that righteous man, while living among them, felt his righteous soul tormented day after day by their lawless deeds), 9 then the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from temptation, and to keep the unrighteous under punishment for the day of judgment,
The main point of this is to show that God protects the righteous in the midst of divine judgment. The account is found in Genesis 19. Peter&#x00027;s point is not merely historical. He is assuring believers that the false teachers troubling the church will not escape divine justice,]]></description>

		<title>The Financiers of the Anglo-Boer War</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Most people know about World War 1 (1914-1918) and World War 2 (1939-1945), but few in the West understand that the wars of the 20th century really began with the Anglo-Boer War (1898-1902). This was a British war against the Boers (Dutch “farmers”) in the northern part of what is now South Africa. The war ended May 31, 1902. Today is the 124th anniversary of the end of the war. It was financed by Nathaniel Rothschild in order to secure the Kimberly diamond mine and the gold mines around Johannesburg that had been discovered earlier.
The war invented the idea of concentration camps that were repeated in later wars. The apartheid system of colonial government was institutionalized. And this mindset gave birth to the Balfour Declaration in 1917, which began the push toward an Israeli state that was designed to colonize the Middle East and institutionalize the apartheid Zionist government of “Israel.”
Here is an short but interesting historical account of the financial history behind the Anglo-]]></description>
