General Hertzi Halevi, Israel’s Chief of Staff, made a sobering announcement on May 23, 2023, that Iran has made more progress enriching uranium than ever before. There are negative developments on the horizon that could lead to action. We have capabilities, others also have capabilities – end of message!

Commenting at the Hertzlia conference of the Institute for Policy and Strategy at Reichman University; on a new sector in which the naval forces of the Revolutionary Guards have been recently operating to create floating terrorist bases.
Minister Galant attacked the plan and said: “This is a worrisome pirate policy. Iran is behaving like a collection of gangs, not like a reformed country. They are working to expand this to the Indian Ocean, to the Red Sea, and even to the shores of the Mediterranean! This is a coordinated planned policy designed to threaten shipping and flight routes both military and civilian.”
The top official in the Israeli Defense Forces warned that Jerusalem, along with its allies, can as Tehran continues to develop its nuclear program at a concerning rate.

Israel needs our prayers like never before!

Breaking news: Israel is getting ready for a war with Hezbollah
Hezbollah Invites Reporters to Witness Their War Games on Southern Lebanon Border to Israel
The Lebanese terrorist group Hezbollah put on a show of force on Sunday, May 2023, extending a rare media invitation to one of its training sites in southern Lebanon, where forces staged a simulated military exercise.
Hezbollah terrorists carried out a training exercise in Araamta village in The Jezine district of southern Lebanon, near the northern border of Israel.
Hezbollah leader, Hassan Nasrallah, said the following:
The Iranian Threat Looms with 4th Gen Khaibar Missiles
What do you mean: a Jewish Jihad?
Spkyerman’s commentary: Ever since the new Israeli government began its summer session on Sunday, May 7th, the nation has continued and even accelerated its protests and unprecedented uproar over its “Judicial Reform” agenda. This subject has galvanized the Left like never before. For nearly 20 weeks now there have been daily protests and demonstrations with numbers over half a million people taking to the streets. The furor has kept on week after week without any letup. Alarmingly, there are signs of open rebellion against the legally elected government, including from several senior members of the previous government. We have heard of El Al pilots refusing to fly Mr Netanyahu, the Prime Minister of Israel to an international conference in Rome. Also, some cases were being reported of IDF reservists refusing to report for duty in protest of the government’s Judicial Reform plans. There has even been word of protest coming from within the Mossad, Israel’s world-famous intelligence gathering agency.
The world has been watching in absolute amazement, as this is not the Israel they recognize. This has damaged the nation’s world image, as well as brought great internal strife and division. This is certainly beginning to embolden Israel’s enemies that seek her destruction.
And we have this warning from scripture:
“Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and every city or house divided against itself will not stand.” Matthew 12:25.
Former Shin Bet chiefs are demonizing the current government as terrorists and a threat to Israel’s continued existence. Here is why that is so dangerous.
The former head of the storied Shin Bet security agency made incendiary comments against religious Jewish lawmakers at a recent left-wing protest, painting them as a major threat to Israel’s continued existence. Speaking to anti-government demonstrators gathered at the Pardes Hana-Karkur junction on Saturday evening, Carmi Gilon castigated Israeli politicians who are religiously observant. “The ultra-Orthodox and Religious Zionist politicians are the Jewish Jihad, they are an existential and certain threat to the State of Israel,” Gilon, who once served as Israel’s ambassador to Denmark, was reported by Haaretz as saying:
“Bibi- you have gone your political way with a mark of shame on your forehead, and you will forever be remembered as the prime minister who almost succeeded in bringing about the destruction of Israel,” he added addressing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
The remarks referring to religious politicians as ‘jihadis’ are particularly notable when coming from Gilon, due to his reputation as one of Israel’s most significant figures in fighting terror. But Gilon is not the only former Shin Bet head to equate the current right-wing government with Islamic terrorist Groups. Speaking to crowds at an anti-government rally in Tel Aviv, former Shin bet Chief Duval Diskin said; “that the current coalition is not a fully right-wing government, it is a fully terrorist government!” The demonization of the current government, by both Gilon and Diskin, is particularly concerning due to the men’s standing as anti-terror experts who nobly battled serious threats to Israel during their time of leading Shin Bet.
Both men served as a critical line of defense safeguarding the Israeli public from Arab terrorism. Their remarks could be interpreted as suggesting that it would be appropriate to leverage anti-terror techniques to mitigate the “threat” posed by the current government.
Beyond serving as a potential justification for left-wing political violence, the comments serve to further escalate tensions among an already-divided public. That’s not to mention that such blatantly partisan remarks from establishment figures likely do little to restore trust in government institutions, which is at an all-time low among nearly all sectors of the Israeli public.
Following a highly politicized Memorial Day and the 20th consecutive week of anti-government protests, it’s clear that Israeli society is at a breaking point.
Comments that further the “good guys vs. bad guys” narrative only serve to exacerbate an already untenable situation, and may pave the way for citizens to take the law into their own hands to “save” the country.
With political tensions so high and security agencies warning of internal divisions posing a security threat to the country, respected figures need to avoid fomenting hatred against specific groups within Israeli society.
Gilon and Carmi should know better. End of the news story
Spykerman’s commentary: Thus we see the country we love being torn apart by internal division, a division which extends also to the Israeli cabinet itself, as the various factions that make up its composition are themselves frequently at loggerheads. Some senior ministers are even threatening to leave the coalition and bring down the government. They use this as leverage to obtain a larger slice of the budget, as it must be passed by May 26, 2023; otherwise, the current Knesset will automatically be dissolved.
We see the nation being torn apart, and her mortal enemies see her growing internal weakness, while at the same time, they also observe the unfriendly tone of the Biden administration in the United States toward Israel.
And then we have the recent World FreeMason conference that was recently held in Israel…more evil spirits spewing poison inside the belly of Israel.
Free Mason's World Conference in Israel
The above conference began on Sunday, May 7th to 11th, 2023. It was the third Jubilee of their first meeting in Jerusalem: The first meeting was held in the King Solomon Quarries of Jerusalem on May 7, 1873, exactly 150 years ago. They have invited the Grand Masters from all the National lodges of Freemasons around the world to come to Jerusalem for this event beginning May 7th. The Grand Lodge of the State of Israel was consecrated on October 20, 1953, at the YMCA Hall in Jerusalem. The first Masonic Lodge in the Holy Land was the Royal Solomon Lodge No. 293, under the Grand Lodge of Canada in Ontario, whose first meeting was held in King Solomon’s Quarries of Jerusalem on May 7th, 1873.
Most people are ignorant of the agenda of the Freemasons of forming a global government, which will ultimately lead to the Grand Master of Freemasonry becoming the leader of the world ruling from Jerusalem in the rebuilt temple. A biblical explanation of this can be found in many places in scripture, but Revelation chapter 13 has a clear description. Today we see many of those Bible scriptures coming into alignment, and they are now set to be fulfilled very soon!
Then I stood on the sand of the sea. And I saw a beast rising out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and on his horns ten crowns, and on his heads a blasphemous name. Now the beast which I saw was like a leopard, his feet were like the feet of a bear, and his mouth like the mouth of a lion. The dragon gave him his power, his throne, and great authority. And I saw one of his heads as if it had been mortally wounded, and his deadly wound was healed. And all the world marveled and followed the beast. So they worshiped the dragon who gave authority to the beast; and they worshiped the beast, saying, “Who is like the beast? Who is able to make war with him?”
And he was given a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies, and he was given authority to continue for forty-two months. Then he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme His name, His tabernacle, and those who dwell in heaven. It was granted to him to make war with the saints and to overcome them. And authority was given him over every tribe, tongue, and nation. All who dwell on the earth will worship him, whose names have not been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
If anyone has an ear, let him hear. He who leads into captivity shall go into captivity; he who kills with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints. Revelation 13:1-10
Many Shall Come in My Name
One of the latest “fake” Messiahs to present himself in Jerusalem is a German named Ulf Diebel, who claims to be Ephraim impersonated, an Israeli Priest after the Order of Melchizedek, King of Justice and King of the Jews. He is the one to receive the kingdom as the firstborn of Ephraim. He is also the one to whom the Pope will hand over all the total assets of the Vatican. He also refers to himself as; the Son of Man & Son of God, according to Ezekiel, as well as the Firstborn from the Dead, the True Jesus, to establish a New Covenant. Surprisingly he is being taken seriously by a section of the Chabad Jews, as well as by Rabbi Yosi Edery, the leader of the nascent Sanhedrin in Haifa, and several rabbis. Ulf Diebel’s final statement goes as follows: “I was born to this and there will be no other savior but me, be glad it’s me!”
Well of course, we are not fooled by this nut-head, as Yeshua, our Messiah warned us about people like him: ”For many shall come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many.”
The Watchmen on the Walls of Jerusalem
Enter the scene to come to the rescue of Judah, is a man inspired by Yehovah, by the name of Mike Bickle, Founder of the International House of Prayer movement. Bickle called for 21 days of prayer and fasting for Israel, based on Isaiah 62. Bickle, along with many Christian leaders overseeing 5000+ prayer networks have collectively banded together to pray intensively for Israel for 21 days, (May 7-28). Visit the ISRAEL PRAYER HUB NOW.
Mr. Bickle is overwhelmed that this is the first time in history that over 100 million believers will be praying for Israel together on the same day. (see John 17:21-23).

For 21 days leading up to May 28, 100 million+ intercessors will fast and pray asking the Holy Spirit (Ruach Ha Kodesh) to “ambush” them by marking the hearts of those 100 million to pray for His purposes for Jerusalem and Israel. They will be claiming the LORD’S promise to sovereignly “set,” “appoint,” or “mark” intercessors who will remind the LORD of His promises for Jerusalem until the return of Yeshua, the King Messiah of Israel.
I have set watchmen on your walls, O Jerusalem; They shall never hold their peace day or night. You who made mention of the LORD, do not keep silent And give Him no rest till He establishes And till He makes Jerusalem a praise in the earth. Isaiah 62:6-7
