On this page we will try to give a daily prophetic view on actual developments in the world. We started the prophetic outlining of world affairs on September 9, 2026. On the subpages you will find deep in-depth studies in Bible prophecy, also from the viewpoint of geopolitics, with the people of Palestine at the very center.

'The photo above shows the Al Mesba’ah Pumping Station on Saudi Arabia’s East-West Pipeline, and based on this high resolution satellite captures it is functionally destroyed. Who did it? We don't know. Nobody has taken credit for it. The Iraqi Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) was accused but it has denied to have anything to do with it.

The imagery shows the entire process core gutted by fire. The main pump hall housing the crude booster units, the high voltage transformer yard, the medium voltage switchgear, and the station control building are all burned out. This is not a temporary setback. This station was the final booster before the Hejaz mountain crossing, responsible for providing the 150 to 200 bar discharge pressure required to lift oil roughly 1,200 meters in elevation to Yanbu. Without that pressure injection point, the pipeline cannot overcome the static head of the mountain range.

The damage visible here suggests the pipeline will be down for months, not weeks. While the buried 48 and 56 inch transmission lines appear intact, the above ground valve manifold that connects them to the pumping units appears compromised. In pipeline engineering, you cannot simply bypass a mainline block valve station that has suffered thermal damage. The valves and actuators required for isolation are likely warped or seized, preventing any workaround flow path. They must rebuild the pumping and electrical infrastructure from scratch.

There is a possibility of a partial restart at reduced capacity in the coming weeks if Aramco can install temporary diesel driven pumping skids, but full restoration will take months. Large centrifugal pump skids and step up transformers are not off the shelf items. They require specific engineering, manufacturing, and commissioning lead times even with existing spare inventory. The fire was too comprehensive for a quick patch. This matters because the East-West Pipeline is Saudi Arabia’s primary insurance policy against disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz. With this station offline, that insurance is gone. Red Sea exports will be severely constrained for the foreseeable future. The optimistic talk of a three day fix from previous incidents does not apply here. This is a months long rebuilding project (minimum).'

Besides the devastated Aramco infrastructure, the access to the Red Sea has become very dangerous for Saudi Arabia due to its war with the Ansarallah-led Yemeni Armed Forces (YAF). The Yemini fighters claim to have struck eight Saudi-linked oil tankers. Since saterday September 12, the oil exports of the kingdom has been absolutely zero.

How is all of this related to Bible prophecy?

The East-West pipeline of Aramco that was operating on the basis of this pumping station will by out of duty for quite some time. The East-West pipeline was the only option for Saudi Arabia to export oil, since the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. It was good for more than 4% of the global daily oil supply. The destroyed station is another blow to the world economy. Oil energy prices are linked and when energy becomes too expensive, transportation will become a problem. This again is one step closer to the 'black horse' of the third seal, carrying the horsemen with the scales, while a voice in heaven speaks:

'A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.' (Revelation 6:5,6)

September 13, 2026

For the first time since the start of the war in the Persian Gulf, during which Iran was attacked by the US from its bases in the Gulf states for which it retaliated with heavy strikes on all of those bases and on some of the infrastructure, talks were held between high officials of Iran and the UAE (United Arab Emirates). Of all the Gulf states, the UAE is considered to be the closest aly of both Israel and the USA. Pezeshkian said he had a “constructive exchange” with Abu Dhabi Crown Prince Sheikh Khaled bin Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan on the sidelines of the Brics Summit in India. Pezeshkian said that Iran and the United Arab Emirates, whose relations have deteriorated since the start of West Asia war, want to “turn the page” and work towards rebuilding ties. 

The statement came two days after an enormous victory of the Yemeniti forces of Ansarallah against Saudi backed national resistance forces in which they took control of the coastline along the Bab Al Mandeb by capturing Mocha and the island of Mayyun.

The statement was made two days after an attack on a Saudi Pipeline, for which nobody had taken credit and which necessitated Aramco, the oil giant of the Saudi government, to close the pipeline. The accusations for the attack are all directed at the Iran-linked Popular Mobilization Forces (MPF), that officially are part of the Iraqi military. In July the MPF was severely hit by US-Saudi airstrikes, costing the lives of 20 of its troops. This happened at a similar accusation as was made this week, about attacks on Saudi oil installations. But those were also fiercely denied by the MPF.

These could very well have been US- or Israeli false flags in order to have a pretext for the US to prolong its military presence in Iraq. According to agreements, the US-military should leave Iraq on September 30.

On August 7, Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Pakistan signed a 'Joint Force Agreement' with an official statement that "any armed attack against any one of the three states shall be regarded as an attack against them all".

How is all of this related to Bible prophecy?

According to Bible prophecy, the last 3.5 years before Jesus' return will start with a huge war in the Middle East, in which 'the King of the North' would invade Israel and even take Egypt and surrounding area's in North-East Africa (Daniel 11:40-45). Since the war on Iran is slowly growing into a regional conflict, we can clearly see Iran as this 'king of the North' - with an enormous missile power and with an army of more than one million troops.

According to the biblical account, the invasion will concern 'many countries' but would spare 'Edom', 'Moab' and 'Ammon', which can be seen in the modern Gulf states and Jordan. Iran would therefore advance through Iraq, Syria and Lebanon, which are all countries (1) in turmoil and (2) with a Shia population that is affiliated with Iran.

There are multiple reasons why Iran would not attack Israel, going through Saudi Arabia:

(1) The defense agreement with Turkey and Pakistan would possibly cause hostilities from both these countries,

(2) Iran seems to stive after new relationships with the Gulf states after it has proven itself to be master of the Middle East

(3) Saudi oil has already been cut off by the closure of the Strait of Hormuz and the blockade of the Yemeni forces of Ansarallah on the Bab Al Mandeb. However Iraqi oil could still be flowing and an attack on Israel would probably also serve geopolitical interests of Iran.

(4) the US has still some military presence in Saudi Arabia and Jordan but will have left Iraq.

The most important thing is that Iran will not be victorious until the very end. It will overstretch, while support from both Russia and China will fail, as is stated in Daniel 11:44: 'But tidings out of the east and out of the north shall trouble him...'.

While retreating back to Israel, the army of Iran will be taken out: 'And he shall plant the tabernacles of his palace between the seas in the glorious holy mountain; yet he shall come to his end, and none shall help him.' (Daniel 11:45).

Therefore, we could see the victories of 'the axis of resistance', Iran and Ansarallah, as a temporary retreat of the USA, in order to make the enemy overconfident. The trigger for Iran to go for a downright invasion of Israel would be the judaization of the Al Aqsa, combined with blasphemous remarks of the US-president, who would be invited for the occasion. That would be 'the abomination of desolation', prophesied by Daniel in multiple texts (Daniel 9:27 and Daniel 12:11), to which Jesus referred in his prophetic discourse (Mathew 24:15).

Today, it is exactly 25 years ago that the US-empire got its pretext (1) to go on a total rampage in the Middle East in order to extend its foothold and (2) to attack the rights of its own citizens (Patriot Act - which is far from patriotic). It started its imperial policies under the guise of 'fighting terrorism', threatening the world with words like: 'you are either with us or you are with the terrorists'. 

The second objective is completely achieved. Citizens' rights in the US have reached a new low in the latest actions of ICE, shooting two Americans at point blanc range, without any consequences for the perpetrators. Most people detained by ICE have no convicion.

The first objective is completely out of reach since the US started its non-provoked war of aggression against Iran, together with Israel. The foothold in the Middle East that had been built for decades was destroyed in half a year of drone- and missile strikes from the opposite of the Persian Gulf. Since the events of yesterday, September 10, 2026, the US-objective of controlling the Middle East is further away than ever. For on that day the Houthis conquered the Saudi backed forces in the South-West of Yemen, some of the isles in the Bab El Mandeb strait included. Within half a year, the US-empire lost its control of the two most important straits in the world, the Strait of Hormuz and the Bab El Mandeb. 

How is this related to Bible prophecy?

The US-empire has all the traits that are described in Bible prophecy as the characteristics of 'the beast out of the sea' of Revelation 13 and Revelation 17 and the 'little horn' of the fourth beast of Daniel 7, which would evolve into the complete beast of the Endtime. You can see this for yourself on our pages on Revelation 13, Revelation 17 and Daniel. Or go to this page of a complete overview of the past, present and future in the book of Revelation.

With the 'attacks' of 9/11 on the World Trade Center and on The Pentagon, which have all of the characteristics of a false flag operation (like Israel's October 7, 2023) the US-empire had found the way to assure a long-time global supremacy, preventing rivals to emerge. With the events that have been evolving since February 28, this year, that hegemonic dream seems to be scattering, only leaving retoric about US-greatness.

Leave it to DJ Trump to endlessly repeat the tales of American greatness, to reaffirm journalists about the complete destruction of the Iranian military and to assert that 'they can never have a nuclear bomb'. This retoric looks a lot like the 'great mouth' of the little horn, that would become the last phase of empire, described in Daniel 7:

'I beheld then because of the voice of the great words which the horn spake' (Daniel 7:11)

The great mouth of the US-empire is also mentioned in Revelation 13:

'And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things...' (Rev.13:5)

This great mouth seems laughable and few people take it serious. And therein lies the danger. For the US-empire won't let go of its efforts to hold on to hegemony. The danger for the 'axis of resistance' against US imperial power is to become reckless and to overstretch. This is exactly what the Bible predicts as the trick of the empire to retake power in the Middle East.

In Daniel 11:39 we read how the 'king of the North' will be provoked into invading Israel before being taken out. You can read about it in our exposition on Daniel 11.

September 10, 2026

While all eyes of the world are directed at the war on Iran and the price of oil, the pace of the genocide in Gaza and the West-Bank is accelerating. With the board of peace and a 'cease fire' in place, lauded and supported by the complete UN and almost all Arab countries, the US and Israel have managed to draw attention away from a genocide that is still ongoing. Food and medical supplies are still heavily restricted causing a constant state of malnourishment and death through lack of medicine. Water and salination networks are being destroyed. Civilians continue to be brutally bombed and shelled in their tents. The police force in Gaza, necessary to keep order amidst chaos, is under special attack from the genocidal state. The IDF has continuously shifted the 'yellow line' toward the sea, driving 2 million Palestinians into an increasingly smaller strip of land threatening them with evacuation orders. The IDF would occupy 53% of Gaza and would retreat once the hostages would have been released by Hamas. All hostages have been released but the IDF did not retreat. Instead, they have taken about 70% of the Gaza strip. They now openly speak about a policy to drive all Palestinians out of Gaza.

In order to understand the relationship of these events with bible prophecy, we first have to realize that bible prophecy has been completely hijacked by zionist Christians, mostly evangelicals. This capture of bible prophecy by Zionist evangelicals has had to results:

(1) A total disbelief in bible prophecy by many non-evangelicals, who have  become accustomed to completely ignoring any possible relationship between bible prophecy and actual world events.

(2) A fervent belief in a bright future of the Israeli people and the world as a whole through the plans and actions of the Zionist state of Israel, however outrageous, gruwesome and inhumane these plans and actions might be, under the pretext that the state of Israel represents 'God's chosen people'.

Of these fallacies, the second one is by far the most dangerous in its outcomes. It is better not to interpret than to falsely interpret. Moreover, many Jews in the world absolutely refute the notion that they would be represented by the state of Israel. Many Jews are fiercely opposed to zionism. So how is a Zionist state to represent them?

Each interpretation of prophecy, be it mine or Zionist, has to be in line with (1) all of Scripture and (2) actual events if they are related to prophecy. If we are close to the Endtime, what many evangelical zionists assume, then we should see the people of the most High coming into distress. The bible is clear that the Endtime would be 'a time of Jacob's trouble' (Jeremiah 30:7). The saints of the most High would be severely persecuted by the dragon (Revelation 12:13). This persecution would be executed through the last phase of his empire, seen in Daniel 7 as the 11th horn of the fourth beast (Daniel 7:21, 25).

If we look at the present state of affairs, it are the Palestinian people and not the European Jews, that are under attack from the empire, the US. The backlash for Jews around the world as a result of the genocide upon the Palestinians is being heavily contained by those in power, which are all obedient servants toward Zionist interests - limiting themselves to opposition in words only. The state of Israel is still heavily reliant on financial, diplomatic and military support from the collective West in its genocidal wars in the Middle East.

In fact, Zechariah 14:1,2 gives a strikingly accurate picture of the 1948 Nakba. The spoil of the people of Palestine divided in the midst of them. The spoil consisted of houses and land from which the Palestinians were chased away at gunpoint. Of course such spoil cannot be taken away, as normally happens with spoil. It remains 'in the midst of the land'. After UN-resolution 181 on the partition plan of Palestine, giving 56% to zionist Jews, the city and the land of Israel were taken by hordes of heavy armed zionists that drove away half of the Palestinian population, never allowing them to return to their land. Therefore, until this day half of all Palestinians in the world live in exile, away from their homeland. Jerusalem was split in exactly half and the Palestinians were forced to leave the zionist Israeli part. Since 1948, the situation deteriorated for the Palestinians. In 1967 all Palestinian parts of former Palestine were occupied by the Zionist Jews and since then a brutal apartheid regime has been installed, shutting Palestinians into an increasinly smaller portion of the land. In the Oslo accords, the Palestinian part of the land had shrunk to 22%. But even that wasn't granted to them. Since October 7, 2023, the policy of apartheid was replace by total ethnic cleansing and even genocide, both in Gaza and in the West-Bank, murdering tens of thousands of Palestinians while the world is idly watching. In light of the latest plans and actions of 'Israel', it won't be long before no Palestinian will be left in Palestine.

And here the Bible text becomes important: 'the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city' (Zech.14:2). That suggests that a plan of 'cutting the people off' - a policy of ethnic cleansing would be put in place, which is indeed progressing in high gear. We therefore expect the soon fulfillment of the sequel: 'Then shall the Lord go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle.' (Zech.14:3).
