The “feet” of the Bear kingdom

[Brakelite]

The feet of the bear that belongs to the beast in Revelation 13 is a spiritual metaphor linked to the characteristic of the Persian Empire of Daniel's day. The beast of Revelation 13 is the antichrist of our day, sharing that same characteristic. That characteristic was seen expressed in Daniel 6:8,12,15. What spiritual entity today believes its laws/ statutes cannot be changed, or altered, once written and signed by its ruler, and yet having even the power and authority to change even divine law?

What were once literal local powers in the OT have through prophecy become types and symbols of NT global spiritual powers. Literal Israel had now become God's global faithful church. Literal Babylon has now become a fallen apostate global conglomerate, of which the two beasts of Revelation 13 form a part. The feet of the bear, an inherited characteristic of the modern spiritual beast of today, as you correctly understand, represent those laws and statutes that man believes are permanent, and which cannot be overturned or abrogated. They are the laws of antichrist. What spiritual power is there today that believes its doctrines and laws and statutes are 'infallible', and cannot be undone? What you rightly perceive as inviolable law of man is one of several identifying characteristics of the true Antichrist.

Israel Warns Civilians to Evacuate as Airstrikes Pound Hezbollah in Lebanon​

This morning, the IDF launched extensive, proactive airstrikes, based on precise intelligence, aimed at degrading the capabilities and infrastructure of the Hezbollah terrorist organization in Lebanon. This is infrastructure that Hezbollah has built over many years,” Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari said in a statement on Monday.

Hagari said the campaign was focused on eliminating Hezbollah artillery hidden inside civilian structures, which Hezbollah uses to launch indiscriminate barrages against Israeli civilian targets.

“The scenes that can be seen now in southern Lebanon show Hezbollah’s weapons exploding inside homes. Every house that we strike contains weapons – rockets, missiles, UAVs that are intended to kill Israeli civilians,” he said.

“We are preparing to strike terrorist targets in the Beqaa Valley region soon. Hezbollah stores strategic weapons in civilian buildings, knowingly using the population as human shields and endangering them,” he said.”(end quote)

You can’t blame Israel for targeting civilians when they are giving warnings to civilians as to where they are going to bomb next. But this will not stop the antisemitic propaganda machine from saying otherwise.

Rep. Gaetz: Five Assassination Teams Targeting Trump​

Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., said he was informed by a whistleblower within the Biden-Harris administration that there are five different known "assassination teams" — "three inspired by other governments" — that are hunting Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump.

Gaetz said the Department of Homeland Security was aware of the kill squads before the second assassination attempt on Trump last week in Florida.

Gaetz made the assertion on Thursday on the "Human Events Daily" television show on Real America's Voice network.

Two federal officials confirmed to Just the News that U.S. authorities are aware of multiple plots linked to Iran that are targeting current or former U.S. officials, Trump notwithstanding.

Asif Merchant, a Pakistani man with alleged ties to Iran, pleaded not guilty last week to charges stemming from an alleged plot to assassinate American politicians, including potentially Trump, in retaliation for the killing of Iran's Revolutionary Guard top commander Qassem Soleimani in 2020.”

Netanyahu Slams Macron's Call for Arms Embargo on Israel​

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has condemned French President Emmanuel Macron's suggestion of an arms embargo on Israel, calling it a "disgrace" and asserting that Israel is fighting to defend civilization, The Times of Israel reported.

"Today, Israel is defending itself on seven fronts against the enemies of civilization," Netanyahu said in a post on X, referencing active conflicts involving Gaza, Lebanon, the West Bank, Yemen, Syria, Iraq, and Iran. He framed Israel's military actions as a defense not just for the country but for global civilization, emphasizing that Iran plays a central role in these hostilities.

"As Israel fights the forces of barbarism led by Iran, all civilized countries should be standing firmly by Israel's side," Netanyahu insisted, criticizing Macron and other Western leaders for supporting an arms embargo at this critical time. "Shame on them," he added.(end quote)

Iran, Qatar Reach Agreement on Access to $6B Biden Windfall​

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian announced a "good understanding" with Qatar regarding access to $6 billion in funds, part of a controversial U.S.-Iran prisoner exchange deal,

Initially held in South Korean banks, the funds were transferred to Qatar's central bank after the Biden administration issued a sanctions waiver.

While the Biden administration insists the funds can only be used for humanitarian purposes, the Iranian government remains confident in its access to the full amount

The funds became a focal point of political controversy following the Biden administration's decision to issue the waiver as part of the prisoner swap, in which five American prisoners were exchanged for five Iranians.

Critics argue the move amounted to a $6 billion ransom paid to Tehran.

The Biden administration, however, maintains that the money is earmarked solely for purchasing humanitarian goods such as food and medicine.

Critics have pointed out that money is fungible, suggesting that by freeing up funds for humanitarian purposes, Iran could allocate more resources toward military activities and support for its terrorist proxies.

Opposition to the arrangement grew, especially after the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas attacks on Israeli civilians, heightening concerns about how Iran could use the funds.

Despite assurances from U.S. officials like Secretary of State Antony Blinken, who emphasized that Iran had access to the funds only for humanitarian needs, Tehran appeared to challenge that assertion.(end quote)

This is how the current Biden administration is supporting Terrorist regimes like Iran and it’s proxies.

Israel Seeks to Ban UNRWA From Operating Within Borders

As tensions in the Middle East show no signs of reprieve and in light of allegations the agency maintains deep ties with Hamas, Israel is aiming to ban the U.N. Palestinian refugee agency known as UNRWA from operating within in its borders.

The Israeli Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee approved two bills Sunday, one of which seeks to prevent UNRWA from operating "any institution, provide any service, or conduct any activity, whether directly or indirectly," in Israel, the Jerusalem Post reported.

The second bill states that the treaty between Israel and UNWRA, signed following the Six-Day War in 1967, would expire exactly one year after the Oct. 7, 2023, attacks or as soon as the bill passes in the Knesset.

Israel has long held that some UNRWA employees gave vast amounts of aid and comfort to Hamas during the Oct. 7 attacks that killed 1,200 Israelis and started the Israel-Hamas war. The U.N. has acknowledged that several employees either helped hold hostages after the attack or directly participated in the assault.(end quote)

Israel Bans UNRWA; Defies Biden-Harris​

Israel’s parliament, or Knesset, passed a law Monday banning the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) from operating in the country and restricting its operations in the West Bank and in Gaza.

UNRWA was established by the United Nations to care for the needs of refugees from the war launched by Arab states against Israel in 1948. It caters to millions of Palestinians, but also incubates extreme anti-Israel ideology.

UNRWA staffers have been directly involved in terror attacks against Israel, including the October 7 attack. One recent case involved a UNRWA employee who was responsible for the mass murder of Israeli civilians hiding in a bomb shelter.

The Jerusalem Post reported:

“UNRWA long ago ceased to be a humanitarian aid agency, but in addition to it being an integral supporter of terror and hate, is an agency to eternalize poverty and suffering. The rationale is simple – in order to survive, UNRWA created demand for the product it provides. The circle of horror ended today, they are out!” [Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee chairman Yuli Edelstein] concluded.
…
The first bill states that UNRWA will no longer “operate any institution, provide any service, or conduct any activity, whether directly or indirectly,” in Israel.

South Africa Submits Its Main Legal Claim to the Top UN Court Which Accuses Israel of Genocide

THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) — The South African legal team delivered a nearly 5,000-page document to the United Nations’ top court on Monday, the latest step in a case the country brought accusing Israel of committing genocide against Palestinians in Gaza.

The document, which the International Court of Justice will not make public until a later stage in the proceedings, puts forth the “main case” that Israel has a “special intent to commit genocide,” according to a statement from South Africa’s President Cyril Ramaphosa.

Israel has fiercely denied the allegations. The government called the case “blood libel” when South Africa launched the complaint in Dec. 2023.

On Monday a court official at the ICJ confirmed that they had received the document.

The filing takes place as the Israeli military has called on Palestinians to evacuate northern Gaza, where it has been waging a large offensive for more than three weeks. The U.N. said earlier this month at least 400,000 people are still in northern Gaza and hunger is rampant as the amount of humanitarian aid reaching the north has plummeted over the past month.

The Hague-based court has so far issued three rounds of emergency measures, ordering Israel to halt a military offensive in Rafah and open more land crossings for aid into Gaza.

South Africa says Israel has refused to comply. “Israel’s continued shredding of international law has imperiled the institutions of global governance that were established to hold all states accountable,” the president’s statement said.

Palestine, Spain, Chile and seven other countries have petitioned the court to join the case.

Israel now has until July 2025 to reply.”
