Now the Philistines took the ark of God and brought it from Ebenezer to Ashdod.
Then the Philistines took the ark of God and brought it to the house of Dagon and set it by Dagon.
When the Ashdodites arose early the next morning, behold, Dagon had fallen on his face to the ground before the ark of the Lord. So they took Dagon and set him in his place again.
But when they arose early the next morning, behold, Dagon had fallen on his face to the ground before the ark of the Lord. And the head of Dagon and both the palms of his hands were cut off on the threshold; only the trunk of Dagon was left to him.
... Now the hand of the Lord was heavy on the Ashdodites, and He ravaged them and smote them with tumors, both Ashdod and its territories. When the men of Ashdod saw that it was so, they said, “The ark of the God of Israel must not remain with us, for His hand is severe on us and on Dagon our god.” So they sent and gathered all the lords of the Philistines to them and said,
“What shall we do with the ark of the God of Israel?”
And they said, “Let the ark of the God of Israel be brought around to Gath.” And they brought the ark of the God of Israel around.
After they had brought it around, the hand of the Lord was against the city with very great confusion; and He smote the men of the city, both young and old, so that tumors broke out on them.
So they sent the ark of God to Ekron. And as the ark of God came to Ekron the Ekronites cried out, saying,
“They have brought the ark of the God of Israel around to us, to kill us and our people.”
They sent therefore and gathered all the lords of the Philistines and said,
“Send away the ark of the God of Israel, and let it return to its own place, so that it will not kill us and our people.”
For there was a deadly confusion throughout the city; the hand of God was very heavy there.
And the men who did not die were smitten with tumors and the cry of the city went up to heaven.

Mark Biltz: Why Parents Will Run to Get the Mark of the Beast for Their Kids
"I think parents are going to run for the mark of the beast," Biltz says. "They're going to want it because it's going to be so tempting. It's not going to be some ugly thing. It's going to be something that will let you access the internet with your thoughts. So I think people will be deceived because they're going to be passionate about the things of this world."
"The apostle John declared that there were many Antichrists at his time," Biltz explains. "But what was interesting is that he said they came out from among us, as if they were a type of professing Christian. And Paul says Satan comes as an angel of light and his ministers are ministers of righteousness. ... He wants to come across as a believer, which will be very deceptive. We have to know [the Antichrist's] modus operandi.
I think he's going to have very flowery language. I think he's going to be solid, wealthy, famous and powerful.

Pompeii, Wrong Place, Right Time
Those consigned to die that day, were drawn to Pompeii for it decadence and wickedness, celebrations honoring false god Augustus and other debauchery, a party time atmosphere, a day when the winds blew in a different direction.
I see similarities with
Belshazzar’s Feast
...and with the party and celebration spirit in heathen, godless America as well as MAGA Christians where July 4th celebrations honor this wicked nation and Sodomy cities proliferate.
It's here, the destruction increases
I would not be surprised if we saw similar major sudden destruction here even greater than the storms across the Mid West which have left a path of destruction and continue east.
A deadly storm system is threatening millions of Americans as severe weather now bears down on the East Coast and parts of the Midwest. The storm has already left a violent swath of death and destruction across parts of the South this weekend, with at least seven people killed as of late Sunday.
The Worst Part Of Pompeii's Destruction Isn't What You Think

The LORD JESUS CHRIST Versus FAKE MESSIAHS --- John 13
From the days of old, the Morning Sacrifice was instituted as a type, or pattern which The ELOHIM established SPECIFICALLY for HIS ancient people. This was to provide a Divine, object lesson daily in the Temple worship so that His people would be able to recognize their MESSIAH+ when GOD sent HIM+.

New concerns Trump administration may be laying legal groundwork for military action against Iran
“One of the reasons why this action occurred could be because there’s an actual interest to do things directly against the IRGC,”
