Signs of impending attack continue to appear. Waiting for the other shoe to drop. From Senator Marco Rubio on Twitter/X. He is part of the gang of eight and a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee. He repeats yesterday's warning. Barring some last minute development Iran is going to attack #Israel. The response and risk of escalation will depend on what and how they attack. Also on Twitter/X this morning: JUST IN - There have been force posture changes to US military assets in the Middle East due to Iran’s threats to retaliate against Israel, the White House says — Al Arabiya
I could care less of the "fear " news..especially from Marco rubio... Father Michel...even false visionaries are right sometimes. North Korea would be a good guess 4 years ago or today. We mock other visionaries who don't get approval...yet when it comes in handy we revert back. People feed right in to the news and what the white house says... I have my Rosary and the trust in God that Mary will protect our children. Be not afraid, am I not your Mother is all I know.
You're right about the rosary, Agnes! It is "the weapon" we have to protect our families. I see this news out of the Middle East, however, as a call to prayer. This is the Signs thread, after all, and this sort of objective, real-world sign is more persuasive to me than messages of unapproved visionaries. This involves two nuclear powers going head to head (reportedly, Iran has enough material to rush a weapon into production). As for Rubio, he posted similar warnings just before Ukraine was invaded; he was dead right then. I don't think he is fear mongering. Edited to add: Rubio and his wife are Catholic, although he's attended an Evangelical church in the past. His latest tweet may be a 'sign.' Posted 4:43 pm today: They shall be as nothing at all who do battle with you. For I am the LORD, your God, who grasp your right hand; It is I who say to you, Do not fear, I will help you. Isaiah 12-13
I have to agree that anyone who is aware could have predicted trouble coming out of North Korea, and Iran. There is so much gloom and doom coming at us from every direction it can be difficult to navigate without the assistance of our Holy Mother.
Does anyone here know about the red heifers in Israel and the rumours that they may be sacrificed this comming passover.???
I must admit that Iran is coping well, Israel literally declared war on them by attacking their embassy and killing several high-ranking government officials, and they attacked them in Syria. The USA, England and France refused to condemn the attack at the UN session and the USA is threatening that if Iran retaliates, the USA will get involved.... This is no longer hypocrisy, but madness where Iran is dangerous because it was attacked, so now it has to keep quiet while its diplomats and officers are being openly killed in embassies. The USA is in such a grip of the Israeli lobby that it no longer condemns not only the murder of over 30,000 civilians, primarily children and women, the murder of humanitarian workers, but also attacks on official embassies. Iran's only problem is not that it is a dictatorial state, because there are over 100 such in the world, but that they are the enemies of Israel, which holds the West in its grip and must disappear, and Israel is ready to sacrifice the entire West, including us here, to achieve this. Bibi and the Israeli lobby want war, they will continue with provocations, otherwise he will fall from power. They cannot win the war unless the US gets involved just like the European countries. This means that your sons will go to a war that they have nothing to do with to defend a country that is doing obvious evil because our politicians are morally and financially corrupt. Yemen, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq to help Iran... Today in the West there are about 10 to 20% of Muslims under the age of 40 in numerous countries such as England, France, Canada, Belgium, etc. This could trigger major social unrest , protests and riots. The whole west could be burning, not to mention how the Russians and Chinese could use the situation for their own ambitions. Worst of all, Israel doesn't care if the world burns as long as they carry out their plans. Now the most important thing is that Iran remains composed and that the attack that they will obviously make (because they have to justify it in front of their people) is not drastic....
Not to get too far off topic, but there is a history here. Iranians for decades have declared the Little Satan (Israel) and the Great Satan (US) to be its greatest enemies. Iran has acted accordingly. Iranian militants took over the American embassy in Tehran in 1979 and held 53 diplomats and staff hostage for 444 days. That led to domestic upheaval in the US, and a shift in government; President Carter lost to Ronald Reagan in a landslide in 1980. In 1992, the Israeli embassy in Argentina was bombed, with 22 killed; in 1994, a Jewish community center in Buenos Aires was also bombed, with 85 left dead. An Argentine court found Iran responsible for both terror attacks. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/04/12/world/middleeast/argentina-iran-1992-1994-attack.html Western countries and Israel have long identified Iran as major supplier of money, arms and training to terrorist groups in the Mideast. An article detailing Iranian ties to Hamas was published in late 2023 relying on national security analysis. https://www.fpri.org/article/2023/1...tly-improved-hamass-operational-capabilities/ Iran was immediately identified as a sponsor of the Oct. 7 Hamas attack on Israel, in which 1,200 Israelis were brutally tortured and killed, with 240 hostages taken, including babies. Hamas terrorists wore body cams and posted videos of the attack to the internet. The April 1, 2024 bombing of the Iranian consulate annex building adjacent to the Iranian embassy in Damascus, Syria, killed 16 people, including a senior Quds Force commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, Brigadier General Mohammad Reza Zahedi and seven other IRGC officers. Israeli officials linked those killed to the Oct. 7 attack and the resulting war in Gaza. Which made them combatants. I'm not sure I'd agree "Iran is coping well" or that "hypocrisy" is driving the situation now.
For years I would hear of suicide bombers going into Israel and blowing up shopping malls etc. I don't recall ever hearing of an Israeli suicide bomber going into another country to blow up innocent people. Correct me if I am wrong.
I saw on Amir Tsarfati's Telegram channel the other day that there's nothing planned for a burning ceremony of a red heifer (but there are obviously rumours). He gives the link to Temple institute templeinstitute.org as a proof for this his claim.
I watched this last night. I would say my great take away from this is that true saints and visionaries are persecuted and slandered, whilst false one are idolised and praised. Another great sign of truth, as St John Bosco pointed out is obedience. Obedience is everything.
Literally, the first terrorist organizations in the world were Jewish precisely in Palestine. Not only did they kill the entire British leadership in the King David Hotel with a bomb attack, and at that time Britain was in possession of Palestine (Israel did not exist yet), but they also killed the UN diplomat for the peaceful settlement of the dispute in 1948, the Swede Folke Bernardotte, who freed from the Nazis camp about 30,000 people, a large number of them Jews. One of the assassins became the president of Israel. As for Iran, the USA and Britain staged a coup in 1953, which they officially recognized through the CIA and MI6... The 1953 Iranian coup d'état, known in Iran as the 28 Mordad coup d'état (Persian: کوپتای 28 مرداد), was the U.S.- and British-instigated, Iranian army-led overthrow of the elected Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddegh.. . So this is shown by the declassified documents, you even have a protest plan as they planned the overthrow on those documents. Later there was the Islamic revolution where the Iranians overthrew the US proxy government in 1979... So I am sure that if you overthrow the democratic government of a country through a coup and finance it, you have become an enemy of that country. Later, the USA financed Iraq in the war against Iran, i.e. Saddam Hussein, while in Afghanistan the Taliban against the USSR and the radicalization of Muslims were financed. Later, after the fall of the Soviet Union, the Taliban and Saddam became the new enemy, yesterday's allies, because the money for spending on weapons had to be kept. We have to go to the source of the problem, and it is, as far as Iran is concerned, in 1953, when the democratic government in Iran was removed by foreign intervention, everything else is a consequence of that.
The yanks and brits have a lot to answer for. Chickens, home, roost. This inevitably is the way of things
Yes. It’s been this way in every region of the world for a long, long time. So I would say depending on where and when you look at history, you could fill in “x and y countries” have much to answer for. Unfortunately and much more frightening because of the WMDs that exist the consequences are way more serious. But, in the end God is in charge. I don’t like nor do I understand why governments and leaders act as they do. I don’t want to see my kids and grandkids (nor any of the innocents in these regions ) nor do I want to go through sufferings. But it’s not my will be done but the mysterious permissive will of God that allows it. Praying
