Revelations 6:3-4 “when he opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, “Come!” 4 And out came another horse, bright red. Its rider was permitted to take peace from the earth, so that people should slay one another, and he was given a great sword.
Important Takeaways:
- Russia’s Hypersonic Strike on Ukraine’s Patriot Missiles is a Very Good Sign For North Korea
- On May 16, as part of a series of Russian missile strikes on the Ukrainian capital Kiev Russian Air Force, MiG-31K strike fighters launched Kh-47M2 Kinzhal hypersonic ballistic missiles against Patriot air defense systems recently delivered by the United States
- The Patriot is the Western world’s premier ground-based long range air defense system, and has been widely fielded not only by NATO members the United States, Germany, Greece, the Netherlands, Poland, Romania and Spain, but also by key East Asian security partners including Japan, South Korea and Taiwan.
- The Kinzhal missile strike was confirmed by Western sources to have disabled the targeted Patriot system, with Russian sources reporting that the radar and command vehicle and five launch batteries were neutralized after firing 32 surface to air missiles to attempt to stop the incoming strike.
- The success of the Kinzhal in neutralizing Patriot batteries partly vindicates not only Russia’s massive investment in missile systems such as Iskander-Ms, but also North Korea’s placing of an even more extreme emphasis on these kinds of assets.
- North Korea has notably invested in a much wider range of launch vehicles for the KN-23, including wheeled, tracked, rail based and even submersible launchers, in contrast to the Iskander-M which has been deployed only from the Belarusian MZKT-7930 wheeled vehicle.
- North Korea can potentially similarly use the KN-23 neutralize enemy air defenses and thus leave targeted territories much more vulnerable to its wider arsenals.

Revelations 13:16-18 “Also it causes all, both small and great, both rich and poor, both free and slave, to be marked on the right hand or the forehead, so that no one can buy or sell unless he has the mark, that is, the name of the beast or the number of its name. This calls for wisdom: let the one who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man, and his number is 666.”
Important Takeaways:
- As talks over raising the U.S. government’s $31.4 trillion debt ceiling intensify, Wall Street banks and asset managers have begun preparing for fallout from a potential default.
- U.S. government bonds underpin the global financial system so it is difficult to fully gauge the damage a default would create, but executives expect massive volatility across equity, debt and other markets.
- Even a short breach of the debt limit could lead to a spike in interest rates, a plunge in equity prices, and covenant breaches in loan documentation and leverage agreements.
- Big bond investors have cautioned that maintaining high levels of liquidity was important to withstand potential violent asset price moves, and to avoid having to sell at the worst possible time.

Deuteronomy 28:43-53 43 “Foreigners who live in your land will gain more and more power, while you gradually lose yours. 44 They will have money to lend you, but you will have none to lend them. In the end they will be your rulers. 45 “All these disasters will come on you, and they will be with you until you are destroyed, because you did not obey the Lord your God and keep all the laws that he gave you. 46 They will be the evidence of God’s judgment on you and your descendants forever. 47 The Lord blessed you in every way, but you would not serve him with glad and joyful hearts. 48 So then, you will serve the enemies that the Lord is going to send against you. You will be hungry, thirsty, and naked – in need of everything. The Lord will oppress you harshly until you are destroyed. 49 The Lord will bring against you a nation from the ends of the earth, a nation whose language you do not know. They will swoop down on you like an eagle. 50 They will be ruthless and show no mercy to anyone, young or old. 51 They will eat your livestock and your crops, and you will starve to death. They will not leave you any grain, wine, olive oil, cattle, or sheep; and you will die. 52 They will attack every town in the land that the Lord your God is giving you, and the high, fortified walls in which you trust will fall. 53 “When your enemies are besieging your towns, you will become so desperate for food that you will even eat the children that the Lord your God has given you.
Important Takeaways:
- Immigration Crisis And Open Borders: One More Piece Of The Global Agenda Falling Into Place
- Long lines of migrants are amassed at our border right now. The Biden administration is sending 1500 troops to assist with the migrant surge. It’s expected to go from about 7500 per day to about 12,000 per day. Experts are saying the dam’s about to break, and it’s been called the greatest border crisis in world history.
- In 2022, about 3 million migrants crossed the border into the United States. It was about 2.8 million which broke the previous record of the year before by 1 million. Now 2023 is smashing that record. Things in our country have reached a breaking point.
- …in New York City, which is a sanctuary city where many migrants have been bused from Texas and other places, it’s costing $8 million a day just for migrant housing. Billions in education and social services are having to be poured into this from our national treasury and our coffers.
- Personal Implications — What Does The Bible Say?
- God charged the people of Israel to care for strangers and sojourners who came among them. In fact, in Exodus 23:9 it says, “thou shalt not oppress a stranger: for ye know the heart of a stranger, seeing ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.” God appealed to their own history.
- In God’s providence, if he’s allowing people to come here, we should use this as an opportunity to share the Gospel.
- Prophetic Implications — A More Sinister Global Agenda?
- Let me move now to the prophetic implications. The Bible tells us in Genesis 10-11 that there was worldwide unity at one point in time. They were all gathered together at the Tower of Babel and were dispersed by God, by having their languages confounded. God scattered, established nations, and established boundaries for those nations.
- God scattered people and set the boundaries of their dwelling, so they would seek after God. The problem is that global elites want to reverse this and go back to battle. They want open borders, and they want global citizens.
- Sadly the current administration in the United States deliberately refuses to enforce laws on our borders and even threatens States that attempt to enforce them. Why is that? Because ultimately, there’s an agenda that’s energized by Satan. It’s a globalist agenda that’s preparing the world for the Antichrist and his global governance. Of course, this is prophesied often in Scripture, Revelation 13 being the main chapter.

Important Takeaways:
- Russia is moving closer to NUCLEAR conflict with the US due to Washington’s support for Ukraine, Moscow warns
- Vladimir Yermakov, the foreign ministry’s head of nuclear non-proliferation, told TASS news agency that Washington is escalating the risks through its conduct with the Kremlin – the latest in a series of threats from top Russian officials.
- He said risks of a direct military confrontation between the two nuclear powers is steadily growing, as he suggested to the Russian state news agency that Russia may withdraw from an intermediate and shorter-range nuclear missiles treaty.
- The US told Russia in March that it will cease exchanging some data on its nuclear forces following Moscow’s refusal to do so, calling it a response to Russia’s suspending participation in the New START treaty.
- The treaty obligated both Russia and the US to commit to regular communications on the status of their nuclear arsenals, allow regular on-site inspections and abide by caps on the number of deployed and non-deployed warheads each would maintain.
- Moscow and Beijing will assess the West’s potential involvement in the global expansion of the US anti-missile system, which ‘clearly undermines strategic stability,’ he added.
- He said Moscow will evaluate the range of American-made missiles that, he said, are capable of reaching the Asian-Pacific region.

Important Takeaways:
- U.S. to send nuclear ballistic subs to South Korea to deter North’s threat
- The White House said the agreement — dubbed the Washington Declaration — is the most significant arrangement since the Cold War.
- President Biden and South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol will sign the agreement on Wednesday as part of Mr. Yoon’s state visit to the United States.
- A senior White House official told reporters that the arrangement is aimed at making U.S. deterrence “more visible” through the regular deployment of strategic assets, including a U.S. nuclear ballistic submarine.
- The last time a U.S. nuclear submarine docked in South Korea was in the early 1980s, according to the White House.
- The Washington Declaration won’t include the deployment of nuclear weapons to South Korea as it did during the Cold War, officials said. Instead, the U.S. will increase the number of military assets it sends to South Korea on a temporary basis, such as nuclear-armed submarines and bombers.
- Under the agreement, the U.S. and South Korea will create a joint nuclear consultative group to improve the sharing of nuclear-related intelligence. It will focus on nuclear and strategic planning issues and give South Korea additional insight into how the U.S. plans “for major contingencies,” the official said.

Important Takeaways:
- China may have up to six more ‘illegal police stations’ in the US – after FBI shut down Manhattan outpost used to ‘spy on and harass dissidents’
- After the FBI arrested two men in connection with a Chinese ‘secret police station’ in New York, activists say there may be as many as six other similar illegal outposts across the US.
- In addition to the Manhattan outpost that was shut down on Monday, Chinese police operate another station elsewhere in New York City, and one in Los Angeles, according to a New York Post report citing the advocacy group Safeguard Defenders.
- As well, the Madrid-based group has identified so-called ‘Overseas Chinese Service Centers’ that purportedly provide community services in San Francisco, Houston, Minnesota, and Nebraska.

Important Takeaways:
- When Macron met Xi: Welcome to the New World disorder
- China’s leader is gathering autocratic regimes to his banner, Europe and the US are divided over how to respond, and the French president just lobbed a grenade onto the field of international diplomacy
- In 2019, he famously declared that Nato was experiencing “brain death”.
- In 2021-22, he took it upon himself to mediate, ostensibly on Europe’s behalf, with Vladimir Putin over Ukraine. Even after Putin ignored him and invaded, Macron insisted Moscow should be offered “security guarantees” and that Russia not be “humiliated”.
- At home, Macron has caused uproar in recent months by pushing through controversial pension reforms opposed by two-thirds of the population. The row has contributed to a plunging personal approval rating, down to 30% this month. Facing a confidence vote in March, his government survived by bypassing parliament. The reforms are under legal challenge, while violent nationwide protests are continuing. Yet insouciant Macron seems almost oblivious at times.
- The latest explosion was ignited by an interview Macron gave after a visit last weekend to Beijing…On China policy, European countries were too subservient to the US and should not be Washington’s “followers”… Macron also implied that defending democratic Taiwan from a Ukraine-type Chinese invasion was not Europe’s business.
- China, on the other hand, just loves Macron’s ideas about rescuing Europe from America’s smothering embrace. His comments were wildly applauded in state-controlled media
- If a European consensus view on China actually exists, it was possibly best expressed by Von der Leyen in a speech last month. China, she said, had become “more repressive at home and more assertive abroad,” and Europe must be bolder in response.
- EU countries should use economic measures such as screening of foreign subsidies and restrictions on sensitive technology transfers to rebalance relations with Beijing
- “China is a fascinating and complex mix of history, progress and challenges. And it will define this century,” she said. But her message to Beijing was unapologetic and – Macron please note – unbending. The tried-and-tested democratic international order, based on shared principles and values, could and would prevail.

Revelations 18:9-11 “The kings of the earth who committed fornication and lived luxuriously with her will weep and lament for her, when they see the smoke of her burning, 10 standing at a distance for fear of her torment, saying, ‘Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! For in one hour your judgment has come.’
Important Takeaways:
- China cuts US Treasury holdings to lowest level since global financial crisis
- China continued to cut its holdings of US Treasuries at the beginning of the year amid rising long-term interest rates, which slashed its returns on its overseas investments after the US Federal Reserve accelerated its lending cost increases last year.
- As foreign holdings rose for a third straight month in January, China’s holdings slid to US$859.4 billion in January from US$867.1 billion in December, declining for the sixth straight month and marking their lowest point since May 2009, according to data released by the US Department of the Treasury on Wednesday.

Important Takeaways:
- Russia: New Cold War is Over, We Are Now in ‘Hot Conflict With the United States’
- The United States is “playing with fire” and engaged in a hot “hybrid war” with Russia, having already graduated from the Cold War stage, a Russian government minister has claimed, incredibly even going so far as to blame the U.S. for rising nuclear tensions.
- The comments come just hours after Russia announced it had deployed nuclear-capable missiles to the borders of NATO in Belarus, and refitted Belarussian jets with the equipment to carry and drop nuclear bombs. Moscow made a tacit accusation that the United States was to blame for this, saying Russia was doing no more than America already did, in stationing nuclear weapons in the territory of European allies.

Important Takeaways:
- China expert predicts where US will ‘see the next war start’
- US defense moving ‘molasses slow’ in preparation for a possible war with China, Gordon Chang says
- “The one thing that we know is that China is making fast preparations for war now,”
- “Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, just about 24 hours ago said all of this was overheated rhetoric, the way he put it. But the point is, China is preparing to kill Americans and we’ve got to prepare to defend ourselves,” Chang continued. “And the Defense Department is making slow, really slow, molasses-slow preparations to oppose China.”
- Chang’s comments were made just before an NBC News report revealed the Chinese spy balloon which traversed the continental U.S. earlier this year gathered sensitive information as it flew over American military sites, despite the White House’s efforts to block it, according to two senior officials and one former Biden administration official.
- Noting the U.S. stands at an “inflection point” with China, Chang further argued that when a war breaks out in Asia, it may also break out within American borders.
- “The real risk here is at the Darién Gap,” the expert said referring to the peninsula which connects North to South America. “Michael Yon, a war correspondent, is saying that he is seeing [Chinese] males of military age who are unattached to family groups. Those, I believe, are saboteurs. And on the first day of a war in Asia, that will be fought on American soil as these saboteurs try to take down our grid, poison our water, detonate bombs in shopping centers.”
- “The administration should be looking at those males,” Chang added, “because I think that that is where we are going to see the next war start, those guys acting on our soil.”
