News and Updates
This page is dedicated to my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, and to keeping you up to date with information I have found that supports the timeline revealed by my interpretation of the seventy sevens. I thank God every day for this opportunity. There are things happening very fast now, almost daily. We only have about two years left as of the day I am writing this, Oct 9, 2026. The timeline and associated events have been rapidly coalescing in the direction it seemed to me to be headed for a while. I am not here to tell you that I know exactly what is going to happen. I do not. I will stick to things revealed and not wander off too far into speculation. Speculation is not a bad thing. Not at all. How are we to discern the times if we cannot speculate as to what the meaning of things revealed is and how it applies to what we are seeing come to pass and to the prophecies of the Bible? This isn't about being right or successfully guessing ahead of time. This is about seeing what has actually happened and how it fits into the revelation we already have through scripture. This is about receiving the revelation of God openly and without fear or bias. Doing that successfully reveals patterns of behavior by God, in my opinion. He reveals himself to us through patterns of behavior. Anyone who disagrees with that needs to go through the stories of ancient Israel in the Old Testament. Or look at the ancient patterns that were established and how they were targeted and fulfilled by Jesus and the Holy Spirit at the behest of the Father. That would include the Exodus and the giving of the Ten Commandments at Mt Sinai. All of the ancient patterns were time and date based. Passover to Pentecost are the original seven sevens. The destruction of the first temple 62 days after Pentecost established the 62 of the 62 sevens. The 62 sevens were a shadow of the coming of Jesus as Messiah and being "cut off, but not for himself". "Destroy this Temple and I shall raise it again in three days". The second temple fell according to the same pattern.

One of the biggest events in recent history that ties into the interpretations I wrote about is the speech Marco Rubio gave on Oct 7, 2026, in Athens, Greece. In it he laid out the case that America was born in Athens. The text of his speech can be found here:

Here is my speculative take on it and how it fits into my interpretation. As I have already stated, I believe the vision of the ram and the goat in Daniel 8 is being fulfilled in the war between Iran and the US. The prophecy states that the goat is Greece and the ram is the Medes and Persians. Modern day Iran and Iraq are largely on the lands of the Medes and Persians. This vision was originally fulfilled by Alexander the Great, but not in its entirety, making the events of that era a shadow and pattern of what is to come. America fits the description of the goat to a tee. The war fits the prophecy perfectly, even calling it Operation Epic Fury. The goat is said to attack the ram with great fury. The goat trounces the ram, and no one can step in and save him. That is the exact situation we are in right now, Oct 9, 2026. If you do not believe America can be the modern fulfillment of an ancient prophecy about Greece, then you should read the speech by Marco Rubio.
"The men who built the Parthenon were succeeded by the architects of European Christendom, who raised the cathedrals of Milan, Cologne, and Florence. The quest for perfection of the human form that had driven the ancient Greek sculptors found new expression in Michelangelo. The Greek philosophers' quest for the structure of the universe was inherited by Copernicus, and then by Galileo, then by Kepler, and then by Newton.
It was the hunger for new knowledge that gave birth to Magellan's first expedition around the world, Columbus' discovery of America, and finally Apollo 11's journey to the Moon. And the traits that led Alexander to conquer the entire known world reappeared in Caesar, then in Charlemagne, and then in Cortes.
And in America, that same tradition reinvented itself anew. An open and wild land became the site of a great renaissance of Western imagination and ambition. The Greek yearning for new horizons became the American frontier spirit. The civilization of Athens and Rome transformed a fledgling coastal democracy into a continental empire.
The greatest Americans of every generation bore the unmistakable characteristics of their ancestors – born in Athens, shaped by Rome, baptized into Christianity, hardened in the furnace of medieval Europe, endowed with the English genius for freedom, and then transported across the Atlantic to be reborn on the shores of a new world."
Rubio has confirmed my belief that America is the modern day version of Greece. The trail he laid out went from Athens to Alexander to Rome to the Holy Roman Empire to America. I agree 100%. We are the spiritual heirs of that mantle. America is the woman riding the beast. She tells it where to go and what to do. The beast is fed up with it. It hates the woman and will bring her to ruin, eat her flesh and burn her with fire. Then it will form itself into the end times kingdom of the Antichrist with its seven heads and ten horns. Daniel 8 and the ram and goat tell the same story. The goat will lose his horn of power. When? It says "at the height of his power". That Hebrew word used there and translated into that phrase usually denotes the end of a prescheduled timeframe or event or predetermined distance successfully travelled. Could it mean the end of his term as president? What does it say the goat does after he trounces the ram and gains the upper hand or defeats him? He makes himself, and by extension his nation, great. He makes America great again. But, at the end of his term, "at the height of his power", his large horn is broken off, and either his nation splits into four parts, or his power is cast out to the four winds, or probably both. His term ends in 2029, but his successor will be picked and will be waiting in the wings and strategizing his administration after Nov 7, 2028, Election Day. My timeline has the confirmation of the covenant that begins the final seven a week after Election Day on Nov 14, 2028.
As I wrote about previously, I find Ezekiel 38/39's use of the specific period of seven years to burn the wood of the weapons from the failed invasion of Israel by Gog to be informative. It is not about the amount of wood that Gog brings to the invasion. It is physically impossible for Gog to leave behind enough wood for Israel to use as fuel for seven years. You would need far too much wood for that. This portion of the prophecy is really only speaking about the timing of the attack. Many people get hung up on how much wood it would take and so forth. I looked it up and it is not possible to bring that much wood. Not even close. I think it is a bit of poetic form used to tell you when this attack will happen. It is saying it will be seven years before the end of the age, in my opinion. Knowing when the age ends could give you insight as to when this attack could take place, assuming the seven years is all going to take place before the end of the age. That's speculation, but it's the kind I think we have to engage in. I absolutely believe the seven years will all be in this age and that it will be the final seven years.
I have the age ending in 2035. Again, there is no scripture that says the seven years of wood burning end at the end of the age. That means the Ezekiel 38/39 invasion could come anytime from now until seven years before the end of the age. When does the age end? Well, the seventy sevens end Oct 10, 2035, the 7th of Tishri. That is the earliest date that you could say the age ends. I wouldn't say that's the end of it though. The last date that could be the end of the age is Dec 24, 2035, the 1335th day. Could the Ezekiel invasion come on Oct 10, 2028? Yes, but it also could be anytime between now and then as well, all the way up to Dec 24, 2028. The problem with Dec 24, 2028, for the Ezekiel 38 war, is it's after the start of the final seven on Nov 14, 2028. That seems highly unlikely. I have already written about how Oct 13, 2028, is a prime date for the attack. It is all tied up in anniversaries and the Gaza peace agreement and Yom Kippur and Simchat Torah. It has a ton of beautiful connections with other times and events on the same date, but that doesn't tell you anything 100%. The result is that it could be anytime between now and Nov 14, 2028.
There were a couple of other points I wanted to make about Rubio's speech. As I said, I believe it strongly supports the idea that Daniel 8 is about America and Iran and the fall of America. The fall of America is prophesied in several places in scripture, in my opinion. It is very interesting that he gave this speech on Oct 7. It is the third anniversary of the attack. My Oct 13, 2028, theory for the Ezekiel 38/39 war is supported by the fact that it is the third anniversary of the Gaza Peace Deal, signed by Trump in Egypt, that ended the Gaza War. It is also exactly seven years prior to the raising of the two witnesses on Yom Kippur, Oct 13, 2035, so it fits Ezekiel 38/39 seven years for the burning of the wood. It is also the fifth anniversary of the Oct 7 attack on the Hebrew calendar as it is Simchat Torah, same as the Oct 7 attack. It is also the fifth anniversary of the Israeli invasion of Gaza, which began Oct 13, 2023. The Oct 7 attack itself was on the 50th anniversary of the 1973 Yom Kippur War. The war of Daniel 8 between the ram and the goat began when? It was when we invaded Iraq in 2003. It was on Barron Trump's future birthday date that we began the invasion. The war with Iran began on Oct 7, 2023. Hamas and Hezbollah are proxies of Iran and are doing their bidding. Before the ceasefire was signed on Oct 10, 2025, exactly ten years to the day before the end of the seventy sevens, Israel had attacked Iran and vice versa. America joined in on June 22, 2025. The war with Iran began on the date that Rubio was memorializing when he identified America as the goat and the Iran war as Daniel 8's war.
Oct 7 Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar said that they attacked Israel on Oct 7 in part because of "the bringing of the red cows" from Texas to Israel. He had another reason. It was a prophecy of the founder of Hamas. The prophetic timeline was outlined by Hamas founder Ahmed Yassin during a June 1999 interview with Al Jazeera. This ideological framework heavily influenced Sinwar, who viewed the October 7 attacks as part of this divine countdown. Yassin stated that his conclusion was derived from his study of the Quran, claiming that nations undergo major structural transformations every 40 years. He divided modern Palestinian history into three distinct phases based on this cycle.
- 1948–1988 (The Generation of the Nakba / Humiliation): The first 40 years following Israel's establishment, characterized by Palestinian displacement, suffering, and a lack of active internal resistance.
- 1988–2028 (The Generation of Resistance / Buildup): Prompted by the launch of the First Intifada and the official founding of Hamas in late 1987. Yassin defined this phase by armed struggle, confrontation, and ideological buildup.
- The Culminating Phase (2027–2028): Yassin openly asserted, "By 2027, there will be no entity called Israel". He predicted this third 40-year period would mark Israel's ultimate collapse, to be replaced entirely by an Islamic state. Yassin was killed in an Israeli airstrike in 2004, but his timeline remained core to the group's internal doctrine.
Hamas integrated this vision into their operational strategies, focusing on specific timelines, conceptual milestones, and tactical targets:
The Operational Strategy for "Victory"
According to Middle Eastern security assessments, Hamas did not view 2027/2028 as a passive expiration date, but rather as a deadline they had to actively engineer through specific actions.
The "Next Promise" Blueprint: Internally, top leaders framed major escalations—including the October 7, 2023, attacks—under a religious framework called "The Next Promise". The strategy was to launch a massive, highly shocking assault years ahead of the deadline to set the collapse in motion.
Triggering Internal Collapse: Rather than expecting to match Israel's military power conventionally, the targeted goal of their operations was to instill extreme fear and psychological shock. Hamas calculated that this would trigger the social, economic, and political collapse of Israel from within, causing citizens to emigrate and fracturing the state before the 2028 window.
Unifying the Fronts: The ideological goal relied on using an initial flashpoint to ignite a broader regional confrontation. Hamas planned for their actions to force a multi-front regional intervention that would systematically overwhelm Israeli infrastructure as the 2027/2028 window neared.
This puts them on a collision course with 2028. They believe the Gaza Peace Deal and Trump's Board of Peace are part of the vision of their founder and are agreeing to push ahead because of that connection they have made with the two plans. There have been multiple reports that groups and likely some nations are planning an all out assault on Israel in the period just ahead. This all fits my timeline perfectly and is a major pillar of support for it. America will fall in the fall of 2028. Be prepared and pray that you may be able to escape all that is about to happen.
The next point about Rubio's speech that I would like to point out is that the Parthenon that he stood in front of and referenced in his speech was completed in 432BC. That is the very same year that Nehemiah returned to Israel from his trip to see the King in Babylon. It was just after that trip that he learned of the unrighteous actions that were taking place at the temple as outlined in Nehemiah 12. He set the temple straight and held a ceremony to place Jerusalem back into its rightful place as the city of God. According to my interpretation, Nehemiah and Ezra issued the decree to restore Jerusalem and begin the 62 sevens to the birth of Jesus in 430BC. 62 sevens is 428 years and a few days. It comes out to Jesus' birth in 2BC and his coming out of Egypt on Passover in 1AD at the age of two.
In Athens, a war raged with Sparta in 431BC after the Parthenon was complete. The people of the area all sought shelter in the fortified capitol city of Athens. Many set up tents and shelters in front of the Parthenon. There a plague broke out in 430BC and killed a third of the inhabitants of the city. It is widely considered one of the most influential medical disasters in ancient history, fundamentally altering the course of the war and accelerating the downfall of Athens. Athens fell to the Spartans. The Greeks were then unified behind Alexander who defeated the Persians in the original war of the ram and the goat. That means the fall of Athens came about at the same time as the 62 sevens began with the decree by Ezra and Nehemiah, and at the same time that the Old Testament ended, and the Silent Years began. This is like putting a big red bow on top and saying "Yep, it's for you!"
Without the rise of Alexander, the prophecy of Daniel would have been wrong. That prophecy is with us today, guiding our understanding of what we are seeing. I feel like I could talk about this endlessly. There are so many threads of nuance embedded here it is mind boggling. Without the rise of Alexander, the Persians may have retained control of Jerusalem, and the Roman Empire may never have come to reality. Without the plague of Athens in 430BC, probably none of it happens. What a coincidence!

Top Israeli politicians are saying the US will recognize a Palestinian state after Trump leaves office. They also talk a lot about how attacks are often waged in response to or to sway elections. This al just furthers the idea that the 2028 election is going to be a flashpoint for Israel. It seems that an all out attack is being prepared and they want to do it while Trump is in office. Maybe Nov 9! Nov 9, 2035, is the 1290th day after the abomination of desolation. That could be when the seven years of burning wood ends. It is also the 2300th day of Daniel, when the sanctuary will be re-consecrated after the abomination of desolation. Nov 9, 2028, is also just two days after the US election and still five days before the confirmation of the covenant and the start of the final seven on Nov 14, 2028. It is also the day Kristallnacht began the Holocaust in 1938. It is also the day the Iron Curtain fell in 1989. It is also the day the Balfour Declaration was made public in 1917. It is also the day Saddam Hussein declared war on Iran in 1980. I was saved at the age of 13 at a little Baptist Church my grandmother took me too on that very day in 1980. The ram sprouted his horns that day and began his 45-year reign of terror on his neighbors and even on the other horn. It ended Feb 28, 2026, on Shabbat Zachor, the Sabbath before Purim when Jews read about Amalek and call for his destruction. Haman was descendent of Amalek. We invaded Iraq on Barron's birthday in 2003 and it was also at Purim. Bush gave Saddam 48 hours on the eve of Purim, then attacked on March 20.
The start of the Iran War on Feb 28, 2026, was exactly 8 years after the issuance of the first Trump/Cyrus coin on Feb 28, 2018. (There are 8 sevens to the end of the age). Also, a year prior to the invasion on Feb 27, 2025, a golden goat covered in $100 bills with Trump's picture and "In Trump We Trust" was sold at auction at Mar-a-Lago. Sort of a game day rally in advance.
There were also some perfect red heifers born this year. They do not release the dates, but from what I can gather, the first one was born on Shavuot, the day the Church of Jesus Christ was born, and the second one at Tzom Tammuz, the day of the Five Tragedies, and also the day America was founded in 1776. They need to be at least two years old to be sacrificed. Both will be ready by Tisha Ba'av 2028, if they stay perfect. This could well be a part of why the attack happens, although it already seems they have enough reasons and plans to attack in 2028. As I have already written about, I think Tish Ba'av is the most likely time for Israel to sacrifice the heifers and/or restart their sacrifices. That is based on their own writings. Tisha Ba'av 2028 is on Aug 1. Just in time for our late 2028 Ezekiel 38/39 attack. Yom Kippur that year is Sept 30 and Shmini Atzeret, the Eighth Day of Solemn Assembly is Oct 12, which is also Columbus Day. Simchat Torah is Oct 13.

Oct 9, 2026-I recently discovered something very interesting about the time that Suleiman rebuilt the walls and gates of Jerusalem during his reign. The records indicate that he completed Herod's Gate at the end of Aug, 1539. Most say the 29th of August. If you start there and count 62 sevens (156,240 days) because of a 10 day calendar shift in the late 1500s, you come to the date of 6-7-67. That is the day the Israelis recaptured the Temple Mount and East Jerusalem during the Six-Day War in 1967. In fact, their forces staged around that same gate to advance into the Old City. Most did not enter that gate though, as a surprise attack came from the rear of the city as the enemy was focused on the forces at Herod's Gate. That is not the ultimate fulfillment of the prophecy of the 62 sevens though. They led to the birth of Jesus from the time of Ezra and Nehemiah. It is also interesting to note that from our target date for the final seven of Nov 14, 2028, counting back 62 prophetic years (62x360), you come to the first Festival of Trumpets, Rosh Hashanah, in Jerusalem in 1967. How many other ways can this number show up?
Oct 9, 2026-There are many sources that point to an 80 year timeframe in regards to the Israel end times situation, including in scripture. If you take 80 years of 360 days each (28,800 days), from May 14, 1948, you get Mar 20, 2027. In addition to Barron's birthday and the anniversary of the start of the Daniel 8 war between the ram and the goat, it is also Shabbat Zachor, the same day the Iran War began in 2026. It is also exactly 1260 days after Oct 7, 2023. Something major may happen that day. Also, 80 of our regular years from May 14, 1948, is May 14, 2028. In addition to being Israel's 80th birthday on the Gregorian Calendar, it is also the 33rd day of the Counting of the Omer, also known as Lag Ba'Omer. Lag Ba'Omer is the holiday that begins at sunset on the Abomination of Desolation, Apr 28, 3032. It is the day Adolph Hitler killed himself on in 1945. The two witnesses will be raised on Oct 13, 2035, on Yom Kippur., which is 1263 days after the Abomination of Desolation. 1263 days after Hitler killed himself was also Oct 13, and the very first Yom Kippur in newly re-established Israel. Another reason I feel the Ezekiel 38/39 attack will very likely come on Oct 12/13, 2028. Don't forget that Oct 12 is Columbus Day and he went to find a short spice route so he could raise money for a new crusade. His plan was to run the Muslims out of the area and build the Third Temple in Jerusalem. I prefer to use logic and reasoning from scripture and the Power of God to accomplish my goals, while taking on the full armor of God. Hence my nom de plume, Logical Paladin.
