News UpDates

A Request from MusingsAboutGod: would you be so kind as to start sharing my site ?

The little monograph "Out-of-the-Blue" will give you a very good frame-of-reference for All Events related to the 'Time of the End'.

And you Really, Really, Really, should read "Reverse-O Change-O"
...and if you haven't read Thought-Sherd #35, I VERY MUCH suggest you should..... you will NOT regret doing so.....
and Reading and understanding the UNLOCKING DANIEL page is absolutely essential to Understanding these Daniel 11:13-19 Urgent Updates!!! and much of this Website......

Yah Really Really Really oughta gotta Read the Updated Thought-Sherd # 53 ..... i'm really not kidding

Added August 14, 2025 please see new notes at bottom of this update (another new note added on aug 21)

well.... it don't look like Dan 11:13 is a-gunna start this year..... pooh....
When Joseph interpreted Pharaoh's dreams he most certainly meant 7 plus 7[14] SOLAR years. And iff'n the End Times parallel that [please see Out-of-the-Blue], then i think it's too late for it to start this year....
Bottom line: Daniel 11:13 starts when Russia/ New Soviet Union invades the Middle-East. Period. Next Year ?? Mebbe. Year after that ?? Mebbe...... sigh ....... but i will keep you posted

a possible bit of bad news here: the amazing pattern of Thought-Sherd #53 may not be "in-play" again until 2028 or 2030, which would make The End in 2042-4. yeah, kinda makes me sick...... 3-5 extra years i wasn't looking for, but we'll see, we'll see....

keep your Radar up for December 25, 2025, this year. iff'n the New Soviet Re-Union comes back into play, it's not quite "Game On", but it will be a beginning, but not THE beginning...... remembering that the Soviet Union Collapsed in TWO Stages: Dec 25, 1991 and then Dec 25, 1993..... but Always on December 25.

let's wait until Aug 5, this year. That's True Tisha B'Av for this year (anniversary of Temple destruction), and see if there are any “marker events”. Also, please note that if the “14 years” are Lunar, then things could start as late as Mid-October this year, 2025. I hope it starts this year.....

well, i'm watchin' next week [starting the 20^th^] with great interest....
earthquake thursday ? Russian invasion saturday ?
not this year ?..... we'll soon see..... but i'm hoping....
[please gimme a few extra days here, thanx -added july 24]

For many many years, this website has felt, and maintained, that the "No Strength to Stand" of Dan 11:15, at the "Fortified City" [U.S. Baghdad Embassy, imo] would be because of Extreme Civil Chaos 'back Home' i.e. on U.S soil. And ever since the U.S. Presidential Election it has looked like that would Happen. But it hasn't. False start after false start, which is not to say it can't still happen..... But.... but there is another possibility.

iff'n the Russian invasion of Dan 11:13-17 is Incredibly Blisteringly Fast, the King-of-the-South simply won't have the Time needed to get Troops, Hardware, etc. etc. there in time to Stop it !!!

It is actually very very possible, Because during the 25 years since Putin has been in Charge of Russia, he has Rapidly and Dramatically re-structured its Military. Both its Hardware and Logistics i.e. Troop deployment strategies. With the development of several Hyper-Rapid Troop Deployment Agencies. With the stated goal of getting troops into combat zones in what Russia calls "The Near-Abroad" WITHIN HOURS !! [please research Russia's:"CRRF", "CSTO" & "Spetsnaz"]

[And now factor THIS in as well. Yes, that's 200,000 Motorcycles !!! Rapid Deployment Indeed !! Holy Cow !!!]

Thus, if Dan 11:13 starts this Year, 2025, then, from the Time that Dan 11:13 starts [Invasion], until Dan 11:17 [Peace Treaty on true Tisha B'Av, Aug 3-4] it could be as Quick as 12 to 4 days !!!! [i'll be putting some serious Ice-Cream money on 10 to 12 days, cuz 4 days seems just too Quick, and the Lighting Fast Israel-Iran War that just happened was also 10 and 12 days. [10 days, 'till Bunker=Buster Bombs, then 2 more days, War over in 12 days]

interesting little observation here: from the time that the U.S. dropped the "Bunker-Buster-Bombs" on June 22, until Aug 4th [true Tisha B'Av], ...... is 44 Days...... hmmm....... and you know how this Website feels about 40s........
{and please consider this little 'bon mot' added July 5, 2025: from the time Mr. Trump began his Tour of the Middle-East with its Amazing Economic and Peace Ramifications. Until the Surprising 'Cease Fire' by the King-of-the-South,[USA] on June 24th, was 42 days. With a "12 day war" at the very end of those 42 days.
And from that Day until True Tisha B'Av this Year is Also 42 days!!, Tisha B'Av is the Day that the King-of-the-North should institute his "Peace Treaty"[dan 11:17, At the End of a 12 day invasion?] And please see HERE & HERE [date calculator] do you see a very very interesting Pattern ? looks like a recursive pattern for both Kings, yes? each gets their 42 days-in-the-sun.
so i'm watching July 24, that's 12 days before Tisha B'Av, with great expectation. we'll see..... we'll see....}

and i'm still watching for an EarthQuake that will Destroy The-Dome-of-The-Rock, to trigger Dan 11:13, and Vs 14(Temple Vision) ......but that's just an Educated Guess......

an keep an eye on ol' SpaceWeather.com for this week or so, interesting things going on. no connection to them, but just a good old-school website

Remember, back-in-the-day, how every year Lucy would hold the Football for Charlie Brown and he would come running, and at the last minute she would pull the ball away, and Charlie Brown would go flying in the air and land flat on his back ? every year. And he never learned. never.

So why is it that every Year as this Website goes into "Daniel 11:13 Watch-Mode" that i always put the 40 days BEFORE the beginning of the 14 years, instead of IN the beginning of the 14 years ? why is that ? Why don't i learn ? For Noah, the 40 days were in the beginning of the Flood, NOT BEFORE THE FLOOD !!

2 . and i just can't imagine that Dan 11:13-17 can start and the Peace Treaty of vs 17 be in place in somewhere between 10 and 4 days !!! Holy Cow !!

But here's why it can happen in 10 days or less: During the last 30 years or so since the collapse of the Soviet Union, Russia, under Putin, has dramatically re-structured its Military. Both its Hardware and Logistics i.e. deployment strategies. With the development of several Hyper-Rapid Troop Deployment Agencies, CSTO and others. With the stated goal of getting troops into combat zones in what they call "The Near-Abroad" WITHIN HOURS !! [please research:"CRRF", "CSTO" & "Spetsnaz"]

So if Dan 11:13 is going to start this year, (i hope) have your Radar up starting about 10 days before Aug 4, this year. iff'n Dan 11:13 starts about then, IT WILL BE BLISTERINGLY FAST !!!! [however, the Math will still work for next year]. But this year looks very very very Good.
But it doesn't look or feel good for the 40 days to start in the next 4 days, June 25. And as i said, the 40 is IN THE EVENT, not before...... sigh.... i make this mistake every year.......

Please note: the events of today[June 22 Jerusalem time]: the US Military Strikes in Iran,[which happened just hours after i posted the above] will very likely play into the overall events of Dan 11:13 etc. but please remember this website is only concerned with the sequence of events specifically mentioned from Dan 11:13 on; meaning the Russian/Soviet invasion of the Middle-East that starts at Dan 11:13. Which requires "no Strength to Stand" of the King-of-the-South(USA) as per Dan 11:15. So unless Russia 'Goes Nuclear' ASAP, and invades the Middle-East this coming Wednesday, the conditions for Dan 11:13-15 really aren't here just yet [however, in todays world things happen very very fast.....hmmm.....]
But please note: this event, the US's Bomb attack on Iran[June 22, 2025 Jerusalem and Iran time], is exactly 44 days before true Tisha B'Av. And if you've been reading this website for any length of time, you'll remember that 44 days is a big-fat-hairy-deal here. so, i'm watching this coming Wednesday closely[40 days before true Tisha B'Av].
It seems to be part of the pattern in some way. And please Note: The American Aircraft entered Iranian Airspace at EXACTLY 3am, June 22, Jerusalem time which is the 9th Hour of the Night ! (please please please, you really must see Thought-Sherd #48.) Which makes this EXACTLY 44 1/2 Days Before true Tisha B'Av {and that 1/2 Day will matter in the Future} [TimeAndDate.com timezone map helps. please remember, Jerusalem time is what this is all calibrated to. hmmm.... ] i will keep you posted...... stay tuned.....
But, again, the 40 days before Tisha B'Av that will start Wed-Thur this week, i believe are part of the process of Dan 11:13, but i don't believe it's the "Sea-Change" part, it probably relates more to the "no strength to stand part"[vs15]. Methinks that the "Sea-Change 40 days" will Start around Aug 4-5, true Tisha B'Av.
........sound of me scratching my head.......

And to be Perfectly Clear:
Daniel 11:13 Does not Start Until Russia and/or the New Soviet Union Storms/Invades the Middle-East !!

this is just a little 'heads-up' note started on June 14, of super-duper-alert-watching :

yes, things are really popping fast, but.... but, Daniel 11:13 etc. is really the point of these News Updates. so, what we're really watching for next, is something that will draw Russia down into the Middle-East as described in Dan 11:13-17, [earthquake?*]with the unopposed invasion described therein. [as the new Soviet Union? or will that be Dec 25? and will Russia go nuclear on Ukraine in the meantime?]
iff'n the timing is right for this year. 2025, the Civil Chaos that will be starting today, june 14 [-note, did not happen yet as of june 23, but hang on to that thought] should become so extreme as to cause the condition of the King-of-the-South to be "no strength to stand" in the Middle-East, as per Dan 11:15, at the U.S. Baghdad Embassy.
The Peace Treaty of Dan 11:17 should be about Aug 3-4, 2025 [please see Out-of-the-Blue]

*imo, the way Daniel 11:14 is worded, it strongly suggests that the "Violent ones" among Daniel's people, will try to rebuild the Temple at this time, and fulfill the Vision (most likely the Ezekiel Temple Vision). This strongly suggests that the Dome of the Rock will have been Leveled by something: a Politically Neutral Earthquake, a provable accidental mistaken missile launch from a non-Israeli source, as it seems logical that a deliberate Israeli destruction of The Dome of The Rock would be just too over-the-top. But in any case, is seems that The Dome of The Rock will have to be gone by this particular time.

We are Watching things Very Very Very closely here.... i'll keep yah posted..... !!

for many years this Website has expressed the thought that the "No Strength to Stand" of the King-of-the-South in Dan 11:15 would be due to extreme Civil Chaos 'back home', causing depletion of Military Strength abroad. It seems VERY possible that the 'extreme civil chaos' that has been suggested on this website, may have started with the Riots in Los Angeles, California that began on Friday Night, June 6th. If that is the case, these Riots should progress and spread Exponentially and very very quickly !!!

and it has been mentioned repeatedly on this website since at least 2006. that the "Fortified City" of Dan 11:15 is the U.S. Baghdad Embassy. -please stay tuned

-updated June 11- in addition to rapidly escalating civil protests across the US this Saturday the 14th, something must be brewing in the Middle-East: [it was]

after Ukraine delivered to Russia what is being called Russia's "Pearl Harbor" two days ago, with Ukraine's Drone attack Destroying many many Important Military Aircraft, and today attacking the Crimean bridge, the probability of Russia using Nuclear Weapons is without Question. and this very much fits what Daniel predicted/prophesied in Dan 11:13-16. Especially vs 16, “there will be no one standing before him[resisting his invasion]”. To use a Biblical expression, “their knees will be dripping with water”. I would expect Putin to use Nuclear weapons quite soon. Before June 25-26, which is when the 40 days before true Tisha B'Av will begin. Stay tuned......

Added May 12, 2025 -updated may 18:
if we are in the "warm-up" stage of Dan 11:13-17, please hold this in mind: all Major Biblical "Sea-Changes" are Always preceded by a '40' [or multiple thereof] of some sort, as has been mentioned a bizillion times on this Website. But please note; the "Sea-Change" is always 'in-type' with the nature of the change, examples; the destructive nature of Noah's flood began with all others being locked-out of the Ark, followed by 40 Days of Destructive Rain appropriate for the beginning of a Destructive event, i.e. 'in type': a destructive beginning, for a destructive "Sea-Change'.
Jesus's Ministry began with 40 Days of Spiritual Cleansing, followed by his Spiritual Walkabout that ended with his Spiritual Perfection, again 'in type': a spiritual beginning, for a spiritual "Sea-Change'
It is the view of this Website that we are about to enter into 7 Years of Global Peace [yes, i know no one believes that, but please see Out-of-the-Blue] so Logically, if Dan 11:13-17 starts this year (2025, i hope) we should be seeing "Peace-Type" events about now, again, 'in type'. And, in fact, we are.
The Remarkable Peace-Treaty of the Pakistanis and Indians [may 10] began about exactly 87 days before the Anniversary Date of the Temple Destruction for this year, which is Aug 4, thus, 2X40 plus a 7 day intro=87 days, similar to the 7day intro to Noah's flood. And many other "Peace-Like" things seem to be happening....... i will keep you posted !!.....

[update on may 18]-For the Entire week after that Remarkable Peace Treaty, the President of the United States [Mr Trump] toured the Middle-East with Unprecedented HUGE [multi trillion dollar] Economic/ Peace agreements. The 80 days leading up to the Anniversary Date of the Temple Destruction [Tisha B'Av, prolly Aug 4 this year] began on May 17, 2025. so, it's still looking good for this year 2025. imo

if you have been reading this website for any length of time, you will know that every year we go into Daniel 11:13 "High Alert mode" about 80 days or so, before the anniversary date of the Destruction of the Jerusalem Temple. which should be on about August 4-5 this year. things could start 'popping' as-early-as May 12, 2025. I will keep you posted !!!

PLEASE NOTE: Everything that was on This "News & Updates" Page, before May 6, 2025 has been now moved to the News & Updates Spillover Page so as to "clear-the decks" on this Page for the URGENT Reporting of the Events of Daniel 11:13 onwards !!!
(and the timeline Charts will be updated, as-soon-as Dan 11:13 Starts, hopefully this Year[2025])

please Note and Remember: We are about to enter into 7 YEARS OF GLOBAL PEACE (i know no one believes that, but......)

Here are the Events of Daniel Chapter 11 verse 13 onwards, in Biblical Order :

►►HIGH ALERT !! .... a possible 4 to 10 day Precursor-type event[s] that will be a Clear Marker that Dan 11:13 is about to start (best guess is Nukes used by Russia) .....but..... some clear event of some sort. It could be an earthquake in Jerusalem causing the collapse of The-Dome-of-The-Rock, dunno.....

► .... Daniel 11:13, 14b begins !!! The Dramatic Invasion of Middle-East by Russia begins NOW,

► ....Vs 14b, Deductively, something will cause the Collapse of the Dome-of-the-Rock in Jerusalem, causing "the sons of Robbers of your people" to think that it is Time to Rebuild the Temple. My best Guess is a nice Geo-Politically neutral Earthquake[please give that a thunk or two; who could anyone Blame ? If Israel destroyed the Dome-of-the-Rock, the Middle-East would go up in flames, but an Earthquake would make all scratch their heads and think, 'hmmm.....' maybe that was the Finger-of-God] again, just a guess, but in any case, this Attempt to Re-build the Temple will "Stumble"i.e. fail, at this particular premature time. (you might find Temple article interesting) or if an unquestioned Muslim accidental strike on the Dome-of-the-Rock caused its collapse

► .... Vs 15, Russia and Cº will "pour out" a Siege Rampart to take a "Fortified City" [almost certainly the US Baghdad Embassy] US forces "arms of the[king of the] South" will have 'no strength to stand'.

Dan 11:15 is Quite Clear that as this coming invasion of the Middle-East begins, that The-King-of-the-South (US and Cº) will be in such a weakened state Relative to the Middle-East, that he will 'have no strength to stand/hold his ground'(at the "Fortified City" US Baghdad Embassy in-my-opinion).

► .... Vs 17a, Full Force of Russia's/Putin's Presence is felt. An Effective and Acceptable Peace Treaty is put-in-place.

► .... Vs 17b, Something to do with "the Daughter of Women". My best Guess here is Tizpi Livni (Libni family of Ex 6:17) for a number of reasons; she was denied the Prime Ministership that she won in 2008-9, and she seems to be a very honorable person, thus; 'she will not be for him[King of the North]'. But we'll just wait and see.....

► .... Vs 18, The King-of-the-North [Putin] will apparently be 'in situ' i.e. right there in the Middle East, and get into some festering personal conflict. If i had to guess, i think ol' Prigozhin might reappear on the scene. But i really don't know.
The wording in all translations is not consistent as to which way it goes, but it should be apparent and recognizable to someone who is watching/looking for this personal interchange.

► .... Vs 19, Putin [King of the North] apparently turns his attention back Home 'and stumbles and falls so that he cannot be found'. It does NOT say he dies. I think he comes back as Mr. Verse 21..... we'll see......

Please Please Remember: We are Going into 7 Years of Global PEACE. that's not a typo. you really really really must Read Out-of-the-Blue

*as has been mentioned numerous times on this website; even though Tisha B'Av Literally means 'The 9th of Ab[Av]" the bible clearly states that the Temple was Destroyed on the 10th of Ab. go figure,[Jer 52:12-14], Additionally there needs to be an Empirical observation of the New Moon in Jerusalem, which can add or subtract a day, soooo...... gimme a day or two of wriggle-room.... thanx....

All News & Updates Items Prior to May 6, 2025 are now on the News & Updates Spillover Page. cuz this page waz gettin' way way too long, and to 'Clear the Decks' for Notifications of The Beginning of Daniel 11:13 !!
