Saint Paisios

This blog goes deep into Saint Paisios' various prophecies about World War III. Useful background for knowing how to spot when, and where, headlines are approaching nuclear war. Then more 400 updates and shop work. Finally, brief watch dates and headlines.

The Thousand Years

The link here is to Revelation 20 in the BRB. It is the story of the 1000 year reign. As I learned this story in normal Protestant Christianity, those 1000 years are placed AFTER the return of Jesus, when he rules the earth for 1000 years. After that, is a great war as described later in that story.

When I was a young believer, long before any of the projects going on now, I recognized a contradiction in this Protestant telling of the story. The return of Jesus involves amongst other things, turning swords into plow shares, and not learning how to conduct war any more. See Isaiah 4:2 for a good part of that story.

So how could there be a war 1000 years later? Beyond Jesus' return?

It was such an interesting question that I turned it into a formal prayer. I had never done that before. How could this be? I asked.

About a week later, before the internet, a copy of Time magazine arrived in the mail. There was a cover story. The Russians, in those days the Soviets, were celebrating 1000 years of Christianity. The magazine explained it all. This was a very strange story considering the Soviets appeared to be secular. There had to be enough thread of Christianity to be celebrating this event.

At that moment I knew, deep down, that I was reading about the 1000 years as described in Revelation 20. The mistake of Protestants is to miss the idea that those 1000 years are now historical. The war, at the end of those 1000 years, happens when the world still trains for war.

If you read Revelation 20 again, you will notice Joshua's name is not given in that passage. Those 1000 years do not see Joshua on earth. This was a point I picked up later. Those 1000 years must be over before Isaiah 4:2 can kick in. That famous, Revelation 20, 1000 year reign happens before any sort of return by Joshua himself. Those 1000 years count down to a war, a big war.

Of course that war was not at a tight end to those 1000 years of Christianity in Russia. We are now 35 years on from those millennial celebrations. By the way, the Russians have a national annual holiday for celebrating their national baptism. It was just celebrated again, July 28, 2025. That is the date when Russia celebrates the conversion of the Russian people to Orthodox Christianity at Kiev. So those 1000 years also have a place, Kiev, in Ukraine.

Any Visions Of This War?

Last week I explained how there were localized visions of a Chinese ground invasion of the US west coast. I suspect that ground invasion is in some way a part of that same Revelation 20 era, which will ultimately be called either World War III, or else some other name, even more serious. The Russians call World War II the Great Patriotic War, so they do not number them like in the west.

So I have been watching for any sort of written account of prophetic visions of this war. The only real condition is that they need to explain Russia's involvement in some way. Since Russians reign for those 1000 years, they appear to be the victors in that war. They appear to answer a military attack against themselves as the world's standard bearer for Christianity. Their earthly enemy will be Zionists. Depending on translation, in the Bible's text, Russia's enemy is known as the Hivite, or Satan, or the Serpent. This group currently controls Europe, the USA, Israel and many other related countries. Netanyahu is their current visible king.

Beyond these obvious points, any sort of prophetic vision that would fill in details has always been an interesting possible document to find.

About 2 weeks ago I found the first credible example documentation of visions of at least part of this war. My main purpose in this blog is to summarize the key points in that vision so we all have a permanent reference for at least parts of the war. There is a key trigger event involving Turkey that everyone here should know. It also ignores Ukraine. Though we have been tracking Ukraine for a long time, it does not appear to be the flash point for nuclear war. More on that below.

The Prophecies of Saint Paisios: Visions of World War III

The link here is to the product order page on the website of the group that has produced an English translation of Greek language original accounts. This book is just out, first printed in 2025. They are adding English translations of other similar Orthodox works which I have not yet explored.

The format of this book is rather strange. Saint Paisios did not write his own work on this subject. He was instead focused on his work of being a monk. He eventually became a monk at Athos, which I covered in last week's blog. He was popular and well known. He was born July 25, 1924 and died July 12, 1994, just before his 70th birthday.

Using Protestant terminology, he had a gift of healing. He also had various prophetic gifts related to words of knowledge. He was widely reported as knowing questions before they were asked of him. Answering questions before they are asked is evidence that the prophetic word is genuine.

Paisios often spoke to young people who would come to him because of his gifts. Much of the written record we have of what he said are from those interactions.

Paisios also had visions of the future, which is our interest here. Paisios' future visions were almost always about the Greek people and nation, this in part because this is what mattered most to his visitors. But one key event in a war between Russia, Turkey and Turkey's European allies, will greatly change the map of Greece. He spoke of it often. Constantinople and Hagia Sophia will be returned to Greece by the military action of the Russians.

Paisios' Biography

The link here is to a 40m Youtube video by Trisagion Films. They have a series of biographies on various Orthodox monks. This is their biography on Paisios. There are several other possible Paisios biographies by other film makers. This one touches on the conflict between Greece and Turkey, which matters to this story. Watch the video for a long form biography.

At age 15, Paisios had visited a monastery in order to learn how to join. (This is a reincarnation pattern, but I digress.) Because of his age, he was rejected. Instead he served in World War II in the Greek army as a radio operator fighting against the Nazis. After the war he was accepted as a monk. He spent time in various monasteries, including Saint Catherine's in Sinai were some of the oldest Greek texts were found. Because of health problems he returned to Greece, before eventually arriving at Athos to stay.

After his death in 1994 he was quickly nominated to be recognized as an Orthodox saint. In the Orthodox Church world this is usually a slow, distributed, process. But in his case, he was accepted relatively fast. He was granted sainthood in part because of his visions of the future.

Beginning in the late 1970s, but becoming more frequent as he got older, he started telling his visitors about various visions of the future which are now generally collected together and called Visions of World War III, which is the title of the book I am reviewing here.

Those visitors would retell what they had heard Paisios tell them, and those recollections were picked up and published in various booklets. All of that publishing work was in the Greek language, so it is not readily available in English.

The book linked above provides English translations of Paisios' visions which are generally regarded as related to World War III. Because there are numerous similar accounts published in Greek, the book above provides multiple versions of each encounter reported by visitors to Paisios himself. Chapter breaks in that book are shifts to different original Greek language sources.

This is a rather strange format, but I am glad the publishers used this format. It allows for differences of wording to be worked out by English readers and not by the publisher.

National Neighbors

Most Americans only know about stuff going on inside the USA. As a people we are often blind to events outside of the country. This is in part because the USA is so large. As a practical matter, even tracking what is going on inside the country is not easy. Russia is similarly large, but their main cities are close to Europe, so they do not have the same problem of isolation.

Almost all smaller countries around the world, like modern Greece, have populations that track other countries, especially neighboring countries. They also have a long history of war with their neighbors, so they do not just trust their neighbors. They often track historical wrongs. Col. Douglas MacGregor has repeatedly spoken about the Ukraine war and indicated that grudges all along eastern Europe go back many centuries. Americans have no idea. Strangely, our biggest enemy is our own government and our public is usually to dumb to know this.

Greece is just like the other European countries. They have long histories with their neighbors. Usually bad. In particular, the main Orthodox Christian Church, Hagia Sophia, is a source of national trouble for young Orthodox Christians in Greece. Saint Paisios had to deal with Hagia Sophia when dealing with many groups of visitors. His story around Hagia Sophia is very important to everyone, and is connected back to the Revelation 20 stories that themselves connect to Russia.

Hagia Sophia

Saint Paisios told numerous groups of people who had come to visit him that Hagia Sophia would be returned to Greek national control. It would be restored for use as an Orthodox Church. To young people he would often say that this would happen within their life times. They would live to see it. When thinking about this as calendar time, I think it best to use 1980 as the approximate birth year for those young people. So up to around 2050 this could still happen. Paisios himself never actually set a date.

His young visitors were generally astonished by his claim. How could this happen? How would relatively weak modern Greece ever be able to achieve such an amazing outcome?

Saint Paisios' answer was that modern Greece would have very little to do with it. Instead, he told a story about how the Russians would return Hagia Sophia to Greece. Let me summarize for readers here how Paisios said this would happen.

Something happens between Turkey and Russia. Apparently, Russian navy ships will be transiting the Bosporus, as they are always allowed to do by international treaty. The leader of Turkey at the time will block Russia's transit. Russia's response will be to declare war on Turkey. (Note, I have seen several other sources on Paisios' visions, and this paragraph may be more detailed than given in the book.)

In any case, Russia will utterly defeat Turkey, with 1/3 of the Turkish population dead in that war, many by Cholera. 1/3 will convert to Christianity, and 1/3 will be driven east, into eastern Turkey. (That eastern location is named, but it does not translate meaningfully into English.)

There was concern in Paisios' audience about such Christian conversions, and he said there is already an underground church in Turkey. He also had things to say about the future of Christianity itself, which I cover below.

Paisios also made clear this war is NOT a precursor to the Second Coming. This is just a war. He made clear, the Second Coming is not even in our general era. (Just a hunch, 40 days to ascension, at 30 years/day, is 1200 years from now for a possible return.)

After this war is over there will be some sort of sign given which will cause an interest in the scriptures. It will eventually be hard to find anyone who is not a Christian. (Signs related to scripture may be referencing our work. This was the first time I'd ever seen this written anywhere.)

As part of this war the Kurds (Christian) will be given a homeland. The Armenians (Christian) will also be given a homeland. (Which in some sense they already have, but are usually western/Zionist vassals.) Much of Turkey will be so depopulated it will be like an empty desert. And finally, Turkish lands west of the Bosporus will be given to Greece including Hagia Sophia.

There are other hints in this book that much of that city will need to be rebuilt and that the Bosporus will become open waters, maybe an international border, but this was not a major point in his discussions on this. There are also other times when he suggested places east of the Bosporus will also become Greek again as well.

Detailed Scenario

Paisios, in response to questions, indicated that Russia will give this territory, along with Hagia Sophia, back to Greece because the Russians will be busy in other places. They will not want to administer it themselves. (Russia already has lots of land, I doubt Russia ever does war for conquest.)

It is in one of the recollections of this story that Paisios indicated that the Russians will burn America. This rare point is picked up by others who may be correctly surmising that this war at the Bosporus is the marker that nuclear war is about to start.

Paisios never mentioned Ukraine. His various accounts seem to indicate that a full on war with NATO happens only when war breaks out with Turkey. Note that in Paisios' day the European Union had not yet formed. Europe was called the EEC -- European Economic Community. The common currency would come later. He indicated that Europe was the creation of Jews, and that Europe would eventually return to independent sovereign states.

Paisios indicated that when war broke out between Russia and Turkey, that many nations would come to Turkey's aide. Russia would have no European allies. The countries that did come to Turkey's aide would also be defeated by Russia.

Paisios' prophetic visions suggests attempts to defeat Russia via war through Ukraine do not ultimately trigger a nuclear war. The current war in Ukraine should settle down in some way. Ukraine may be the "other troubles" that Russia returns to after war with Turkey.

Turkey/Russia vs. Israel

Paisios dealt with 2 different prophetic war scenarios. The first, and the scenario with the most prophetic detail, was Russia/Turkey. The second involved a war in Israel. Some online commentators join these wars as a single war, with suggestions that Russia is heading to Israel via the Bosporus when the Russia/Turkey war breaks out.

The book linked above does not demand these are the same war. The times when Paisios was dealing with Israel was much more conventional, and I might as well have been reading something from a conventional Protestant understanding. Paisios was not using the same level prophetic insight when he dealt with Israel.

Interesting Quotes

As I was reading through the book I saw several things that Paisios said which I want to report here. Some things are rather strange, especially to be said by an Orthodox monk. Let me take specific topics and address them in more detail. For these, each has a reference to a page in the book linked above. I am normally paraphrasing in order to shorten longer passages. But, if I use quotes then I am word-for-word quoting because details are hanging in specific words.

Signs (Pg. 31)

Saint Paisios was asked what the sign would be that these things were about to take place. (This specific to events in Turkey, not Israel.) His answer was that when there was a discussion on TV about extending territorial waters from 6 to 12 miles, then everyone should know that these things are about to take place.

In preparing this blog, I tracked this down. There is a serious issue with a strange and long history dealing with the border between Turkey and Greece. Here is a link to the Wikipedia article for those who want to know much more.

Aegean Dispute

Turns out that relatively recent UN related treaties set the territorial boundaries for nations with coastlines at 12 nautical miles out from shore. Currently, the only country in the world not using this distance is Greece.

Greece still uses the older 6 mile system. Greece has international backing to increase to 12, as per the prophecy. But, they have not moved there yet, even 30+ years from Paisios' day.

There is a strange problem for Greece that exists nowhere else, which is why this is an interesting sign to watch as a precursor.

At the top of the Wikipedia article above is a map of the Aegean Sea. Greece is on the left, Turkey is on the right. But, and there is a big but, that Aegean sea is filled with tiny Greek islands. Each with a 6 mile territorial water. Some of those islands are very, very close to the Turkish mainland. But in any case, those islands are all over.

Air space is set to be 4 miles more than the territorial waters of a country. So the airspace over that sea is a mixture of Greek airspace and international air space. This is confusing for pilots, so by convention, that airspace over the Aegean Sea is controlled using an air traffic center at Athens.

Ships transiting the Aegean Sea usually try and follow a central channel that keeps them mostly in international waters.

Turkey wants the Aegean sea to be split down the middle, Greece controlling the western side, Turkey controlling the eastern side, carving out those little Greek islands on the Turkish side as special. That Wikipedia article explains the details of this long and contrived history.

Be careful of a detail with this 6 to 12 change. He said that discussing such a move on Greek TV is the mark. He did not say moving the boundary is the mark. We also have the problem that Main Stream Media in Greece is not readily available to the rest of us. So this was meaningful to his Greek audience, but not as useful to us in the west.

Revival of Nazism (pg. 34)

Saint Paisios mentioned the revival of Nazism in both Germany and Italy. That this would cause an American shift to supporting other countries like Greece.

Paisios fought Nazis in World War II, so this would be a personal hot button. He never mentioned Ukraine, but it is the first modern European Nazi regime. Support for Ukraine is thus the return of Nazism to the rest of Europe.

Cappadocia Returned (pg. 37)

This is more ancient Greek territory that Saint Paisios said would be returned. Or at least become a place were Greeks could move. This is to the east of the Bosporus and appears related to the Russians driving Turks far to the east.

EEC is Israel (pg. 37)

EEC is the term from his day, we would use EU instead. Saint Paisios claimed that the EEC is the state of Israel, and that its days are numbered.

Think of Netanyahu's triad. Money, Military and Politics are the basis for his control of governments. All of those domains are controlled in Europe. Apparently, these have been since Paisios' day.

Barbarism of the Turks (pg. 39)

Saint Paisios gave various examples to support his contention that the Turks are a barbarous people.

On Cyprus (pg. 44)

Saint Paisios was asked about Cyprus. It has military bases by the Turks, English and Americans. He said it would be freed of those once people in Cyprus build spiritual bases. That the overrunning of Cyprus is a spiritual issue which can only be solved that way too.

On Russian Allies (pg. 53)

In this war, will Russia have allies? Saint Paisios answered, as numerous as the grains of sand. This was a common style he used, to quote scripture without giving a cite.

This is a veiled reference to Revelation 20:8. He is telling us he knows which story we are in. That army would be Chinese.

Characteristics of Wolves (pg. 57)

Nowhere did Paisios identify the tribe of Benjamin as a wolf, nor did he identify Israel as Benjamin. But he did explain a characteristic of wolves, which is of course the general enemy of Orthodoxy.

When hunting a flock of sheep, the wolf feels guilty and even the bark of a tiny sheep pup will scare the wolf away.

This is the attitude we should all have towards Zionism. It will run off when confronted.

On War In Israel (pg. 58)

"The Middle East will become a battle field and the Russians will take part in these wars. A lot of blood will be shed, and the Chinese will cross the Euphrates River with an army of 200,000,000 soldiers, marching towards Jerusalem. A key sign that this is about to happen is the destruction of the Dome of the Rock."

That 200,000,000 number is given in Revelation 9:13. This number was quoted by the Chinese on Nixon's trip to open China. The Chinese self identified and told Nixon they could raise a 200,000,000 man army. They are about the only country able to raise such an army to cross the Euphrates. (Half the work if India were involved too.)

This story continued, and Paisios' audience asked about European allies of Russia. He answered, every European nation will abandon Russia and side with the "Jews of America." When they do, the Russians will burn them.

Paisios is identifying the Jews as the ultimate party behind this war, and the triggers that cause the end of the west as we know it now.

We are currently watching early 2026 for that Dome of the Rock event. See video links below.

This Paisios story continues and explains how the war between the Russians and Europeans begins at Constantinople. More reason to think that NATO uses Turkey to trigger a NATO article 5 general war with Russia.

A Strange Sign (pg. 60, again at pg. 65)

"Palestine will be the battle field. The Dead Sea will be their grave. This is only the first half. But there is also a second half. After these events humanity will reach a dead end and then everyone will seek to learn about the Gospel and the Scriptures. Christ will have mercy on the world and will show a sign so that people may believe. At that time it will be hard to find an unbeliever."

This conversation continued, but degenerated into more typical conversational content.

I suspect this is where Paisios is discussing the recovery of the inspired text, which is itself a sign, probably the sign or proof, that it is inspired. He suggests it will be so compelling that few will not believe. This is where I saw him speaking in a way that seems to reference our work.

Timing

What I have covered here is the essential prophetic word of Paisios dealing with this future war. Watching for Russia and Turkey going to war is something that is easy to remember. How long that war takes is obviously another question.

Hagia Sophia does show up on the prophetic timeline we are following here. It would make sense if restoration of that building was the prophetic replay of the original construction of that building. Day-for-a-year replay of the original building is still a few years away, ~1700 days from now. But, nothing actually demands such a timing. Hagia Sophia could also replay the 1453 AD loss of Hagia Sophia. That would be yet another ~1000 days still future.

If we see a replay of the 500 day temple pattern starting early in 2026, then Paisios' words about Hagia Sophia have an approximate date, about 1500 days later than Temple Mount in early 2026

More

What I have done above is cherry pick some of the stories in the book that I found interesting. Saint Paisios had many other conversations which might as well have been held with Protestants. These involved normal discussion over normal end-times passages in the Bible.

Part of what I learned through this study is how similar basic Christianity is in both the Protestant and Orthodox communities. I can think of several people I knew in the past who had similar gifting as Paisios. The tradition deforms how this is expressed. But the prophetic gifting is the same.

I am avoiding going deep into conventional bible study like passages and conversations until I have the audited text in hand and the crown/timeline worked out.

The Mark of the Beast, for example, though popular with young people, is not yet a fruitful conversation. Paisios' audience always wanted to discuss such things and he was willing to have such conversations. As I read those passages I did not see it as anything particularly special.

For the purposes of this blog I have tried to condense down to a readable form. If you want to look at the material yourself, order a printed copy from the link at the top.

I trust this was helpful to readers here. It was to me. I will continue to keep an eye out for similar material.

Ukraine should settle down. It is not the flash point for war between NATO and Russia. Turkey will do that.

App Updates

The 400 app continues to see technical tweaks and story adjustments. When clicking on a story, the story square is now highlighted. This makes it easier to continue where you left off once you've looked at a particular story text.

Ryan has also adjusted the Sabbath Reads App so it is using a skip 50 story strategy. This makes a complete read happen across 1 whole year instead of over 1/2 of a year. This should be less burdensome. This app has used this pattern in the past. This coming weekend's Sabbath Read is on this restored, short, cycle. Deployed a week early as relief.

Ryan's skip row pattern that I sampled last week is now the source for the stories in each week's reading plan. When the recovery of this table is finished this should be very interesting. Until then, only certain areas will be very interesting.

This week Ryan reversed the Minor Prophets and Psalms rows. He is looking to find a vertical chain through the Dot/Colon diagonal weaves. This is not easy out in the middle. Psalms is now on the Lu row, starting at story 300. The Minor Prophets are now on the Mo row, starting at 325. This sets up the Proverbs and Psalms stories to fold through the vertical Ku/Lu pairs to each other. The minor prophets now precede Ezekiel and Daniel on the way to the New Testament.

Shop Work

Because of a sprained ankle, I was off my feet this past week. So no serious shop work this week. Instead, I have been catching up on long overlooked 3d design work. I can do this work even with my foot up.

I did a bunch of code refactoring across all of the exhibit design files. This had been bugging me for awhile. This cleaned up the directory structure and simplified the include file system. There were a bunch of build environment changes to follow along. Quite a few dead design files were removed from the active library tree.

Then I turned my attention to the 3d designs themselves. The biggest area needing attention was the Table exhibit. Last time I printed this I realized I should do flush letter mounting for the outside decorations. Those design changes were done this week.

Then I turned my attention to the lid of the Table. The Copper Chest now carries the Qu Map and Bramble Path so the lid on the Table is now free to cover, in detail, the particulars of Paleo letter design.

So I rebuilt the Table lid design files, ultimately to something resembling a piece of peg board. It has a few construction lines, but is otherwise single sided and simple. The lid can now be used with large letter designs, or with the small letters contained in the Table. There are many new curriculum related lessons that can be taught with that lid.

To go with this change, I designed up a set of large format stroked letters that can be placed on the lid and aligned on the peg board holes. This will make that lid the place to teach about the theory of the letter shapes. This is especially so with the stroke length to stroke width ratios that were so key for working out the letter shapes and proportions.

The lid can still be used to teach the audit pattern and where that comes from. The lid is a small fraction of a printed page. Using the pegged letters from within that exhibit it can be used to show general page like layout of simple Paleo sentences.

I was also able to get most of the design work done for a 3d printed version of the table that Ryan is working on. We are calling it the pavement. It may also be called a threshing floor. This is how Ryan is currently using that table, he is threshing out the chaff. Years ago we both had prophetic dreams of this floor. Very nice to see it become an exhibit.

Match Dates

From 2025-07-30 through 2025-08-08 we were watching for the prophetic replay of Elon the Judge. There are no particular prophetic stories, so this was an open interval in terms of what we might see.

I had speculated that we might want to watch Elon Musk himself to see if he said or did anything that might seem related. 3 headlines caught my eye that were interesting in this regard.

Elon's Pay Package

The link here is to a Zero Hedge article detailing how Tesla has reinstated Elon Musk's executive pay. Elon has not been paid since 2018, working essentially as a volunteer.

This new pay package has a bunch of technical details that essentially pick up again from 2018 and are specified in such a way that final court decisions do not matter to Elon's eventual compensation. Read the article for specifics.

Hunter Biden had boasted that he was on a first name basis with ALL the judges in Delaware. One of Biden's pet judges is thought by many to have stripped Elon of pay. This may have been because Elon did not pay someone in the Biden clan some sort of ransom. Elon did just pay $15M to a Trump related MAGA PAC, so Elon is paying ransom now.

This new pay package is dated 2025-08-04 and is within the prophetic window of the prophetic replay of Elon the judge. What are the odds that his pay package from 2018 would be interrupted through the political process until we ended up in a replay by his name? Pretty low. So I am leaving this as a likely component of this prophetic window.

Elon entered the political sphere when he purchased Twitter near the end of 2022. So Elon may be a name we should associate with either Twitter, now X, or with social media in general. His purchase of Twitter has broken Jebusite control over much of the media world. (Though not all, and even X itself still has some trouble.)

There are 2 other social media driven headlines within this prophetic Elon window that are at least interesting to think about. Let me deal with each of those in turn.

Nuclear Subs Move Over Mean Tweet

The link here is to a Youtube video where Judge Nap and Scott Ritter discuss the chain of events that triggered Trump to dispatch a couple of US nuclear submarines. Ultimately it was because of a mean tweet on X from Russia's Medvedev. Medvedev is well known for trolling, and for being the alter-ego to calm and collected Russian President Putin. That the US President would answer such a tweet is very strange. Social media is not a platform for diplomacy.

This post on X was another social media first. Can nuclear war theoretically start because of the use of a social media platform? Yes. At least from now on. There is a secondary issue with this too. Nuclear subs usually move in secret. Announcing the movement of such subs is crazy. Of course it may all be political theater.

So, providing a platform for legitimate nuclear war threats is another Elon Musk first. Also a rather interesting point where the White House is starting to pay attention to social media. Trump usually lives in a world of 50 years ago when TV networks and their ratings actually mattered.

Gaza Protests At Sidney Bridge

The link here is to an X post by Lord Bebo that shows a drone overflight of a pro Gaza protest at the famous and iconic Sydney Harbor Bridge. That protest is dated 2025-08-03.

Julian Assange was one of the dignitaries who carried the protest banner, himself a political prisoner of the west, just like Gaza. Estimates put the total who crossed the bridge at 300,000, though Jebusite media said it was merely in the tens of thousands.

Finding that many people willing to come to a protest can only happen on social media like X, at least organic protests. Paid protests, of course, are different. So this protest probably happened, at least at this scale, because of Elon's purchase of Twitter.

Watch Dates

The day this blog goes out, 2025-08-08, is the replay of the last year of Elon the judge. The following day, Saturday, 2025-08-09, is the replay of the first year of Judge Abdon. See Judges 12:14 for the cite.

Abdon, like so many others in this part of the timeline, is only briefly described, with 40 children, 30 grandchildren and they rode on 70 colts. This is another mercy delay, suggesting to watch again 140 days out. We would not expect particular headlines in this window. Abdon's last year will replay 2025-08-16.

Other Headlines

Russian Nuclear Sub Base Damage

In last week's blog I speculated that the July 29, 2025, M8.8 quake off Russia's east coast could have been some sort of weapons test. Russia has a submarine base very close to the epicenter of that quake. Given the damage to the submarine base itself, it might as well have been a weapons test, we will probably never know for sure. But, given the NATO attack on the Russian nuclear bombers, we could reasonably expect an attack on the nuclear subs too. Why? Because the Jebusites want to rule the world from Jerusalem. They cannot have anyone disagreeing.

The link above is to a Youtube video by Casey Jones, on his own channel. He is a practicing professional engineer. He often deals with foundation related geology and how that impacts bridges and related structures. One of his numerous engineering tools is satellite imagery. In this case he is using a relatively low tech, but publicly available, set of photos to show what happened to the Russian submarine base docks. One of those docks was substantially displaced. This level of photograph cannot show what happened to any docked subs themselves. But, it is still a mess.

Trump moving US subs around at the same time suggests the western side is thinking about submarines.

Temple Related News

2026-01-18 is the best next theoretical date when we might expect Israel to begin construction work on another temple. (There is another, later, theoretical date, about 500 days later, when we see the replay of the Persian sponsored Temple rebuild.) This 2026 date is the replay of the year when Solomon started to build his temple.

Netanyahu's time in office would match some of Solomon's time references should Netanyahu get it going at that time, so this is a serious date and headline to watch.

Since Israel is keen on using media, they are likely to telegraph their plans using media of various types. They may have started to do that now. Here is some evidence.

Inside Restricted Caves

The link here is to a Youtube video by Yishai Fliesher on his own channel. This video takes a tour through caves dug below the modern city which show off the ancient roads around temple mount.

You can tell from the various conversations, that they are planning for the temple rebuild. There are also hints as to the level of involvement by people like Netanyahu himself. Again, with his own life as a timeline, it would suggest getting going in early 2026.

Tearing down the Dome of the Rock in order to build a Temple was one of Paisios' main general prophetic signs that all the other things he foretold were about to begin.

Congress' Summer Break

This link is to a post on X by RT. It shows US Congress members visiting Netanyahu for summer break. Pharaoh, of course, in the front row. Was the topic secret plans for a temple? This would be the last possible summer break before a January 2026 start of construction. Was this the time to bring in the crew and let them know the plans?

Ben Gvir At Temple Mount

Another article suggesting the political elite of Israel has their mental attention on the Temple. This time Zero Hedge is detailing Ben Gvir's trip there.

Exposing Tucker Carlson

The link here was sent to me as feedback to my use of Tucker as a source for links here in the blog. I generally have a rule to not use the products of evil men or their companies. This is why we only use open source software like Linux. When it comes to Tucker, I have broken my own rule, and will not be using Tucker gain. My apologies to readers here who may be ahead of me on this point.

In any case, Tucker, along with Candice Owens, recently attacked Nicholas Fuentes. Fuentes, it turns out, understands the core issue. America is fighting a religious war with the Jews. Tucker is on the wrong side. It is a covert war. The link above is a well researched 2.5 hr answer to Tucker and those who think and act like him. It includes, for example, the funding source for Tucker's TCN. It is a disgrace. Several of Judge Nap's lesser known guests are also trouble for us. The video is on Rumble. Well worth the time.

More Later,
