Facebook’s ‘Meta’ rebrand translates to ‘dead’ in Hebrew; Israelis mock name

Assessment: If the shoe fits … 
Other Twitter users had shared their takes on the name change, with one person writing that “she wanted to open a Facebook account, but told that the website was dead now.”

Another user said that “someone didn’t do their branding and translation research.”

“And Jesus answered and said to them: “Take heed that no one deceives you” Matthew 24:4

Replying to

In Hebrew, *Meta* means *Dead* The Jewish community will ridicule this name for years to come. 

The social media company announced the name switch during a news conference on Thursday, where Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg said the new name seeks to start building the “metaverse,” which is described as a shared virtual environment that hopes to be the next big computing platform.

Venezuelans Turn To Gold Nuggets As The Local Currency Implodes

Assessment: The post Rapture third judgment of the tribulation, Revelation 6:5-6, will bring hyperinflation on a global scale. The use of fiat paper money will be over as the world reverts back to an ancient medium of exchange before that also becomes worthless …

The Venezuelan government recently lopped off six zeros from its hyperinflating currency, the bolivar. The highest denomination currency note of 1 million bolivars, worth less than $0.25, was replaced by a one-bolivar note. At the same time, a 100-bolivar note, worth about $25.00, was introduced as the new highest denomination of the bolivar.

The currency conversion was designed  to spare the government the embarrassment of having to issue a 100-million bolivar note to enable people to purchases everyday items without having to carry around bundles of notes, given that the price of a loaf of bread had risen to 7 million old bolivars.

They will throw their silver into the streets, And their gold will be like refuse; Their silver and their gold will not be able to deliver them In the day of the wrath of the Lord; They will not satisfy their souls” Ezekiel 7:19

Of course, the arbitrary scaling down of the denomination of the currency will not slow inflation, because the new currency notes can be printed just as cheaply as the old. The bolivar has already lost 73 percent of its value in 2021 alone and the IMF estimates the annual inflation rate will reach 5,500 percent by the end of 2021.

What is wonderfully surprising is the spontaneous emergence of a pure gold currency in a remote region of southeastern Venezuela around the towns of Tumeremo and El Callao.

Police beef up security at malls, shopping centers outside DC following ISIS threat

Assessment: While the Biden administration focuses on white supremacy, ISIS and al Qaeda are now re-emerging to wreak havoc on Israel’s protector …

Northern Virginia authorities were on high alert following an ISIS threat against malls and shopping centers outside the US capital this weekend.

Police were stepping up their presence through Halloween into the runup of Election Day, according to CBS News.

“Because the Lord has sworn: the Lord will have war with Amalek from generation to generation.” Exodus 17:16

“We have increased our police presence throughout the county to include major thoroughfares, transit hubs, shopping plazas and shopping malls,” Fairfax County Police Chief Kevin Davis reportedly said Friday.

A federal intelligence chief said this week that the terror group is pushing lone wolves to attack targets without support, the article stated.

“Right now we’re seeing a dramatic increase — or an increase — in online activity by media operations associated with different al Qaeda elements and Islamic State,” said John Cohen, Department of Homeland Security intelligence chief, according to the network. Read More @ JPost HERE

Syrian air defenses intercepted targets near the capital, Damascus, on Saturday after an alleged Israeli strike.

JPost: Explosions were heard in Syria’s capital, Damascus, on Saturday after Syrian air defenses intercepted multiple surface-to-surface missiles fired toward the countryside from the direction of “northern occupied Palestine,” the state-run SANA news agency reported.

“The air defenses of the Syrian Arab Army repelled an Israeli aggression on areas in the Damascus countryside,” SANA said.

The burden against Damascus. “Behold, Damascus will cease from being a city, And it will be a ruinous heap.” Isaiah 17:1

Two Syrian soldiers were wounded and “material losses” were sustained, according to the report.

The news comes amid increasing Israeli military activity in Syria.

Thousands of Australians with unpaid fines for breaking Covid rules have their homes seized

Assessment: A descent into tyranny …

  • State Penalties Enforcement Register chasing $5.2m in unpaid Covid-19 fines
  • Queensland Health is using SPER to crackdown on 3,046 unpaid penalty notices
  • 2,755 fines were from individuals & businesses accused of flouting Covid rules
  • SPER also to collect $5.7 million in repayments on overdue hotel quarantine bills

Queenslanders who received fines for breaking Covid-19 rules risk having their homes seized and bank accounts frozen in a government crackdown to collect $5.2 million in repayments.

The State Penalties Enforcement Register is expected to collect 3,046 unpaid fines from the pandemic on behalf of Queensland Health.

“Who is like the beast? Who is able to make war with him?” Rev. 13:4

More than 2,755 fines were from individuals and businesses accused of breaking Covid-19 restrictions and the rest either still under investigation or pending payment.

About 56.4 per cent of fines have already been paid in full or are being paid off on a payment plan.

SPER said enforcement for people who failed to pay their fines ‘may include garnishing bank accounts or wages, registering charges over property, or suspending driver licences’, according to the Brisbane Times.

COP26 Is A Global Energy Embarrassment

Assessment: Next we will see digital carbon credit cards designed by green academics to ration our energy and food usage to achieve their Net-Zero Nirvana.

For 26 futile years, the net-zero maniacs have wasted fuel, energy, and taxpayers’ money to bite the hands that provide their food, energy, welfare, and public-sector jobs.

Led by E.U. and AUKUS dreamers, they destroy reliable energy from coal, oil, nuclear, gas, and hydro while forcing us to subsidize net-negative dreams like solar, wind, wave-power, CCUS, hot rocks, pumped hydro, and hydrogen.  All such speculative ventures should be funded by speculators, not taxpayers.

Is this the beginning of a new Cold War between Biden and Israel?

Assessment: The administration’s harsh criticisms, combined with renewed appeasement of Iran, bode ill for the alliance. How serious is the president about demanding that Israel bow to his demands? …

As far as Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett and Foreign Minister Yair Lapid are concerned, this week has brought a perfect storm of circumstances that threaten to complicate their hopes for a better relationship with the United States. Both men, each for their own reasons, see establishing a good rapport with President Joe Biden and his administration as one of the main goals of their coalition government that took office in June.

But blistering criticism was issued by the U.S. State Department on two issues: its renewed commitment to reopening a U.S. consulate in Jerusalem and settlement building in the West Bank.

For from the top of the rocks I see him,
And from the hills I behold him;
There! A people dwelling alone,
Not reckoning itself among the nations” Numbers 23:9

On top of that is the news that Iran is returning to nuclear talks in Vienna. They were body blows to hopes that their ousting of former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who is viewed by Biden’s team as the devil incarnate, would ensure the president’s goodwill and protect them against the kind of hostility that was the hallmark of U.S. attitudes towards Jerusalem the last time Democrats were in power.

Perhaps they knew that the announcement that a few thousand new homes would be built in existing West Bank settlements, as well as the designation of six Palestinian non-governmental organizations as terror groups, would provoke Washington’s ire. The two are also painfully aware that their attempts have failed to persuade the Americans to back off their determination to renew efforts to appease Iran and bring it back into a nuclear deal that Israelis believe is a disaster.

All the sappy rhetoric Bennett and Lapid could muster in public about their affection for Biden and their belief in his friendship for Israel flopped, as did their strong arguments and warnings about the folly of engagement with Iran that they delivered in private. Read More @ JNS Here

13 European states call on Israel to halt plan for 3,000 West Bank settler homes

Assessment: There is no expiration date on Genesis 12:3 …

I will bless those who bless you,
And I will curse him who curses you;
And in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed”

Time of Israel: A group of 12 European countries urges Israel to scrap plans for the construction of more than 3,000 homes in West Bank settlements.

A day after the US criticized the plan, France, Germany, Belgium, Denmark, Spain, Finland, Ireland, Italy, Norway, the Netherlands, Poland and Sweden say in a joint statement that Israel should “immediately” reverse its decision to build the homes.

The United Kingdom, which is no longer part of the European Union, separately issues a similar statement. Read More
