Apocalyptic Inferno in Spokane: Fast-Moving Wildfire Forces Mass Evacuations


Apocalyptic Inferno in Spokane: Fast-Moving Wildfire Forces Mass Evacuations as Homes Burn and Hospital is Emptied (VIDEOS)


A fast-moving wildfire, being called the Old Trails Fire, erupted in Spokane County, Washington, on Saturday, rapidly expanding under strong winds and prompting widespread Level 3 “Go Now” evacuations that forced thousands of residents to flee their homes.

The blaze ignited around 11:56 a.m. near Airway Heights west of Spokane and quickly grew from an estimated 100 acres to over 3,500 acres as it pushed into residential neighborhoods, crossed the Spokane River, and threatened Riverside State Park.






By evening, multiple homes had been burned, with videos posted to social media showing the devastation.

Officials described conditions as life-threatening, with thick smoke filling the skies and traffic backing up on evacuation routes.

Spokane County Emergency Management issued the highest-level evacuation orders for multiple zones, including areas between Rutter Parkway and Francis Avenue, from the Spokane River to Division Street, neighborhoods northeast of Airway Heights, and sections northwest of Nine-Mile Falls.

A veterans’ hospital was fully evacuated, with patients transferred to other facilities, and city infrastructure, including a water treatment plant and a wastewater facility, was also cleared.

An emergency shelter opened at Spokane Falls Community College to house those displaced.

Washington Governor Bob Ferguson declared a statewide wildfire emergency and imposed a burn ban through September as more than 200,000 acres burned in a dozen large fires.

DON'T BE DISHEARTENED—JESUS IS COMING SOON
Johnathan Brentner



I recently came across an article I wrote about two and a half years ago highlighting eleven signs of the last days. At the time, I anticipated that the Lord would’ve already come for us long before July 2026.

The fact that we still wait for His appearing despite the increasing relevance of all the signs I wrote about back then demonstrates God’s patience as well as His restraining hand in holding back the calamities that loom over the world at this moment. And the clouds grow darker by the moment as the world teeters on the edge of the start of the Day of the Lord.

My purpose in reviewing these signs in what follows is to encourage those who may have grown weary or even disheartened as they wait for the Lord’s appearing. Please know that what we see is all the more reason to be hopeful that Jesus is coming soon to take home.

The first sign is that of Israel’s miraculous rebirth as a nation. It’s the continuing basis of our assurance that we live in the last days.

The Bible long ago predicted that Israel would again exist a nation. The miraculous reappearance of the Jewish state in 1948 fulfilled Bibel prophecy and testifies to the relevance of the myriad of other signs that continue to converge in our day with increasing intensity.

Second, the growing fever within Israel for the rebuilding of the temple also heralds the nearness of Jesus’ appearing. The Bible says that Israel will have a temple by the midpoint of the Tribulation. The ongoing preparations for the third temple are significant; don’t let anyone tell you they are not.

During the past couple years, the Temple Institute has begun training a great many Levites for service in the future temple. The Israeli government is planning infrastructure in preparation for the construction of third temple. The evidence continues to mount; there will be a third temple.

Third, the approaching hoofbeats of the riders of the Apocalypse (Revelation 6:1-8) are louder than ever. During a radio interview a few years ago, the interviewer asked me if I thought we were already living in the time of these seal judgments. I’m not sure he agreed with my explanation that the Rapture must happen first; he seemed to think God’s wrath had already arrived upon the earth.

Fourth, although it has faded from the headlines in recent years, the ongoing push toward a worldwide digital currency displays the world’s preparations for fulfillment of Revelation 13:16-18. Since 2024, data centers have become front and center as the world races toward generating the computing power and databases necessary for the mark of the beast.

The antichrist needs just such a system in place by the midpoint of the Tribulation in order to control the buying and selling throughout the world. And we are already so close to this becoming a reality.

Fifth, another sign of the last days is sadly the rapid rise of antisemitism that’s reached epidemic proportions in many places around the world. The Lord said there would be an abnormal obsession with Jerusalem, hatred for Israel and its people, and a desire to divide the promised land in the last days (Zechariah 8:13, 12:1-3; Joel 3:1-3). And this is exactly what we see today as the anti-Zion fervor grows stronger every day, even among some who profess to be Christians.

Sixth, The world’s fascination with UFOs and aliens has grown considerably in the past couple years. In recent months, the scoffers of our faith believe that the evidence of extraterrestrial life will undermine our beliefs. Will this be the deception that the world will accept as the reason for our sudden disappearance? It’s entirely possible, if not probable.

During the past couple years, belief in the existence of UFOs has grown immensely.

Seventh, back in 2024, I wrote about the UN’s 2023 seven-year commitment to implement all of its 17 Strategic Development Goals (SDGs) of Agenda 2030. At the time, I wondered if globalists believed they were falling behind on their agenda. I also believed it was significant that they were talking about a “seven-year plan.”

I’m convinced that the plans of the elite will remain somewhat frustrated until after the Rapture. They will continue to make some progress, but our disappearance along with the “sudden destruction” that will mark the start of the Day of the Lord will be the crises they need in order to achieve global dominance.

Eighth, the scoffing that I noted a couple years ago has expanded beyond that of mocking the Rapture to that of our Premillennial belief in Jesus’ thousand-year reign in Zion. The apostle’s warning in 2 Peter 3:3-4 aptly describes the day in which we live as its prophetic words come to life all around us:

. . . knowing this first of all, that scoffers will come in the last days with scoffing, following their own sinful desires. They will say, “Where is the promise of his coming? For ever since the fathers fell asleep, all things are continuing as they were from the beginning of creation.”

The ninth sign is the epidemic of deception. The use of artificial intelligence (AI) to deceive people has grown exponentially in the past two years. My recent experience with its capabilities to portray a false reality went beyond anything I could’ve imagined just a few weeks ago.

After the disciples asked Jesus about the signs of the end of the age and of His coming, the first words He spoke were these, “Take heed that no man deceive you” (Matthew 24:4). I can’t imagine how this sign will get any worse during the Tribulation, but the Bible says it will (Matthew 24:24). The tools that the antichrist will need to deceive the masses are available; how close must we be to our departure?

Tenth, since 2001, the earth’s magnetic north pole has been moving. A May 2020 article on the Forbes Magazine website discussed how this shift has speeded up in recent years, but did not discuss the dire consequences should the north and south poles swap place.[i] What does this have to do with Bible prophecy?

It’s because what many scientists, mostly unbelievers, tell us will happen during a pole shift is remarkably similar to what the Isaiah says will happen in the Day of the Lord (24:19-20) and also closely resembles John’s description of the sixth seal in Revelation 6:12-17.

Eleventh, another sign that continues to capture our attention as students of Bible prophecy is the building of underground bunkers by the ultra-rich. Back in 2024, social media was abuzz with reports of Mark Zuckerberg, billionaire founder of Facebook, building a massive underground shelter in Hawaii at a cost of about one hundred million dollars. Today we read reports of many other wealthy people constructing elaborate underground places of refuge packed with storable food and resources for a long duration.

This fulfills the prophecy of Isaiah 2:17-19, which John also alludes to in Revelation 6:15-17.

Will I be updating these signs two years from now? I hope that will not be necessary because we will already be with the Lord.

I know we live in the last days leading up to Jesus’ appearing followed by the Tribulation period. Watch the signs, but keep your eyes focused on Jesus amid the ebb and flow of current events.

If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ who is your life appears, then you also will appear with him in glory. (Colossians 3:1-4)

Maranatha.

2026 Documents Revealing How the Great Reset Will Erase Free Humanity by 2030


OPERATION USELESS CLASS: The 2026 Documents Revealing How the Great Reset Will Erase Free Humanity by 2030


The following was reconstructed from encrypted communications intercepted between January and June 2026, whistleblower depositions from three former WEF insiders now in hiding, and the white papers these people actually publish when they believe the general public is too distracted to read. The institutions mentioned retain armies of attorneys. We retain the documentation. The author writes under a pseudonym because the last journalist who spoke this clearly was found in a Zurich hotel room last March with a needle in his arm, three days after publishing a single tweet about central bank ledgers. The coroner ruled it an overdose. His family says he never used drugs. We do not believe in coincidences. Neither should you. — V.


They Are Not Coming for Your Future. They Are Coming for Your Present.

Right now. In 2026.

While you scroll through feeds designed to numb you, while you swipe cards that track you, while you accept terms and conditions no one reads, the cage is being built around you. Not with bars of iron. With code. With data. With the smiling faces of philanthropists who promise to save you while they close the doors.

Nobody hides anymore. In 2020, they showed their cards. By 2026, they have stopped pretending. Klaus Schwab writes books about the Great Reset and promotes them on television. Yuval Noah Harari speaks openly about the “useless class” of humans who will be replaced. Bill Gates buys farmland while funding synthetic meat labs. They tell you exactly what they are doing because they believe you are too distracted, too divided, too defeated to stop them.

Climate change is not the goal. Public health is not the goal. Equity is not the goal. What they seek is the final transfer of power from the human to the algorithm, from the citizen to the corporation, from the free mind to the managed node in a network you did not choose.

Here is what they have built while you were looking away:


• Digital money that expires in your account, that judges your purchases, that stops working when you step out of line

• Biometric surveillance fused with health data, creating a permanent record of your body and mind accessible only to those who own the servers

• Cities redesigned as open-air prisons where your movement is restricted, your food is synthetic, and your children are re-educated by algorithms

How They Built the Prison Without Walls

Nobody wears hooded robes. Nobody meets in catacombs. Instead, bespoke suits glide through glass towers in Davos, climate-controlled pavilions in Singapore, private dining rooms where air is filtered twelve times per hour and water is imported from glaciers. Names you recognize—Schwab, Gates, Harari—smile from magazine covers promising salvation. Behind them stand shadow directors signing checks that purchase politicians who write laws binding your children to managed decline.

Generations of planning led to this moment. The Great Reset is not a conspiracy theory. It is a book. Klaus Schwab wrote it, published it, and promotes it with the calm demeanor of a man who knows the ending before the audience sees the opening scene. The conspiracy hides in implementation—the pretense that this is about carbon neutrality when it is about total biological control. They want to own not just your labor and property, but your breath, your blood, your neural patterns. Upload the compliant parts to the cloud. Delete the rest.


Generations of planning led to this moment. 
The Great Reset is not a conspiracy theory. 

It is a book. Klaus Schwab wrote it, published it, and promotes it with the calm demeanor of a man who knows the ending before the audience sees the opening scene. The conspiracy hides in implementation—the pretense that this is about carbon neutrality when it is about total biological control. They want to own not just your labor and property, but your breath, your blood, your neural patterns. Upload the compliant parts to the cloud. Delete the rest.

Three systems developed in parallel for decades now converge into a single mechanism of total command. China’s Social Credit System already monitors 1.4 billion people in real-time, tracking purchases, movements, relationships, facial expressions, tone of voice in phone conversations. Low scores mean no train tickets, no schools for your children, invisibility to the economy without ever being arrested. This is not coming. This is here, and in 2026 it exports with missionary zeal to nations once calling themselves free.


World Bank, United Nations Development Programme, and World Economic Forum collaborate openly on “digital public infrastructure” for developing world. 

India enrolled 1.3 billion people in Aadhaar, a biometric database linking iris scans to bank accounts to welfare benefits to voting records, creating seamless chains of identity and dependency. 

 Nigeria launched eNaira in 2022, a central bank digital currency allowing government to monitor every transaction, freeze accounts remotely, program expiration dates into money itself. Brazil implemented CBDC framework in late 2025. European Central Bank prepares digital euro for full deployment by 2027. These are not experiments. They are rehearsals for final acts.

Infrastructure laid in 2026 uses bureaucratic language concealing true nature. European Union’s digital identity wallet, now mandatory for accessing public services across the bloc, is described as convenience and security.

It is neither. It is the key to a door locking behind you. United States follows close behind, with FedNow—the instant payment system launched in 2023—serving as rails upon which digital dollar will run. 

 ID requirements tightened. Vaccine databases established during COVID were never dismantled; they expanded and linked to other health records. Pieces are on the board. Only variable remaining is which manufactured crisis justifies final assembly.


Technology has outpaced law by design. Facial recognition cameras in London, New York, and Tokyo identify faces in crowds of millions in milliseconds, matching against databases including political affiliations, purchasing history, psychological profiles. NSA continues collecting every email, every search query, every phone call, storing them in data centers the size of small cities in Utah and Maryland and locations remaining classified. 


Five Eyes alliance—the intelligence-sharing network of US, UK, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand—circumvents domestic restrictions on spying by sharing intelligence across borders. You have no secrets from them. Only the illusion of privacy, maintained because it keeps you docile and productive.

Yuval Noah Harari, advisor to World Economic Forum and court philosopher to elite, stated this openly: “We are probably one of the last generations of Homo sapiens. Within a century or two, Earth will be dominated by entities more different from us than we are different from Neanderthals.” He speaks of “useless class”—billions of humans with no economic value because AI and automation rendered them redundant. He does not say what happens to useless. He does not need to. History is clear regarding societies and populations deemed surplus.

Central bank digital currencies represent the kill switch. They are not cryptocurrencies. They are the opposite. Where Bitcoin is decentralized and censorship-resistant, CBDCs are centralized and censorship-native. 

 Every transaction recorded. Every transaction blockable. Every wallet freezable remotely. China’s digital yuan already includes “expiring money”—funds must be spent within specific windows or they vanish. This is not a bug. This is the feature. It forces consumption. Prevents saving. Makes you dependent on next injection of credits, conditioned on behavior, location, social compliance.


Bank for International Settlements—the central bank of central banks, most powerful financial institution you have never heard of—published papers on “unified ledger” technology. The vision is single platform where all assets are tokenized, all transactions recorded, all participants identified. Your house, your car, your stocks, your savings—everything becomes digital tokens movable, freezable, or confiscable with keystrokes. This is not banking reform. It is financialization of totalitarianism.

Time runs short. Digital identity systems launched in 2026 are not temporary measures. They are permanent infrastructure. CBDC pilots are not experiments. They are foundations of financial prison. Biometric surveillance is not for your safety. It is for your management.

Darkness is not coming. It is here. In white papers and pilot programs and smiling faces of philanthropists promising salvation while closing doors. Cell is built around you, and walls are getting closer. You feel it in restrictions on your movement, monitoring of your transactions, surveillance of your communications. You see it in empty city centers where small businesses once thrived, in synthetic food replacing farms, in children who no longer know what privacy means because they have never experienced it.



No Iran war off-ramp


No Iran war off-ramp coming for Trump


In case you haven’t noticed, the war in the Middle East is expanding.

Just in the last few days, Yemen, Saudi Arabia, Iraq and Egypt have all been drawn into the conflict that started with just three parties — the U.S., Israel and Iran. The new additions make this a truly regional war with global ramifications. Even Ukraine managed this week to get involved, striking an Iranian ship it said was sending military supplies to Russia. For those who needed an outward sign, this attack by Ukraine connects the Middle East war with Iran to the war against Russia in Eastern Europe. As I’ve been saying for months, it’s all part of the same war.

Egyptian officials confirmed today that two ships on its Mediterranean coast came under a drone attack Wednesday at the port of Damietta, a key loading point for liquified natural gas (LNG). As of this writing, no nation or entity has claimed responsibility for the attack, a sure sign of a false flag by malevolent forces, while Western fingers are predictably being pointed at Iran. You can use your imagination as to who would like to expand the war in the direction of Egypt by looking at whose interests that serves.

So far, this is following the exact trajectory I predicted when these wars started in Ukraine and the Middle East. Because I saw them as part of the same major war, not separate conflicts, I knew they would continue to escalate and anyone talking about memorandums of understanding (MoU), peace talks and Trump looking for an off-ramp doesn’t know what they’re talking about and aren’t worth listening to. Trump may wantan off ramp, but the powers driving these wars and financing them will make sure he isn’t presented with one that his ego will let him take. Those financing the wars are the ones pulling the puppet strings. The politicians associated with the wars are mere front men.

Donald Trump by now must be well aware that bombing alone is not going to take out the Iranian government. A ground invasion will be necessary. But he also knows that any landing of troops on Iranian soil will result in tremendous casualties for the invaders.

Trump himself knows this.

But Trump doesn’t want to land U.S. troops on Iranian soil if he can help it, at least not right before the mid-term elections. He knows launching this phase of the war would result in high casualties in a very unpopular war and that such a war would also likely require the U.S. to reinstate a military draft.

Ideally, I believe Trump would like to find a willing proxy to invade Iran. The Kurds have been mentioned as one possibility but Iran seems ready for that eventuality. Could Egypt be a better option? Egypt has a very large army and we see that country being hit at its weak point, the Suez Canal zone and connected ports, a major trade route into the Mediterranean Sea.

But I do believe we are still an escalation or two away from any ground invasion of Iran. I could see a scenario unfold where the U.S. recruits a proxy force to invade Iran and then sends in its troops to finish the job, but even this supposed mop-up role could take longer than Trump believes and require a very unpopular military draft.

Once Trump reinstates the draft, many more Americans who are currently tuned out will wake up and protest sending their sons to fight another overseas war on behalf of foreign interests. This will cause Trump to clamp down on protests, potentially declaring martial law and possibly even canceling elections in 2028. He has been known to talk about a third term, having brought that up again just a few days ago.

And now we have a report out of Israel that something big is getting ready to go down in the war against Iran.

The Iran-affiliated Hormuz Letter posted Thursday to its X account as follows:

BREAKING: Israel says the U.S. is preparing for something “bigger than anything we have seen before” in the war on Iran, a senior Israeli security official tells Channel 15. The official adds the U.S. is preparing for a large-scale unprecedented operation against Iran, not just a single isolated response, with Israeli defense circles saying the U.S. is approaching a major counter-response.

That same source reported a couple of hours later:

BREAKING: Saudi Arabia has just launched multiple airstrikes on Sanaa, the capital of Yemen. Houthi leader Abdul-Malik al-Houthi warned shortly before “the indications reveal the Saudis are heading toward full escalation. We will meet their full escalation with full escalation.”

Shortly before that, The Hormuz Letter reported that Iran had landed direct hits on U.S. assets at its air base in Jordan, destroying three F-35 fighter jets and killing at least one U.S. military officer along with an unspecified number of “maintenance personnel.” This has not been confirmed by the U.S. military. 


It’s difficult to know how much of this is true. Both sides are waging an information war as intense as the kinetic war. But it’s safe to say that the war’s trajectory and the nature of the rhetoric on both sides suggests that violence is reaching new heights across the Middle East, as it is in Russia and Ukraine, and pretty soon nobody will be able to deny we are in World War III.

Remember, the ultimate goal of the globalist power elites is to take down the flailing U.S. empire and its outdated paper petro dollar and replace it with some form of global government with a new global currency.

So whatever the Trump administration has up its sleeve will ultimately backfire. Could we be on the verge of a defeat so humiliating that even the arch-salesman Donald Trump can’t spin it as a victory?

There’s also the disturbing fact that changes in modern warfare actually mean America’s bloated military budget is spent mostly on weapons that have become obsolete. Not only are they obsolete, but they are tremendously expensive and will take several years to restock.

These globalist power elites want to take the population down from 8 billion to no more than 3 or 4 billion. They need to get rid of the useless eaters whose jobs can be performed by AI. But more importantly, they need to eliminate the dissidents and independent thinkers who they know will never comply with the digital slave state powered by AI and supported by the massive data centers. War, disease, and widespread famine are their ticket to realizing their depopulation goals. All three are progressing nicely, while our politicians conduct theatrical hearings meant to give us the impression they care about the last great depopulation scam from six years ago. They don’t care. And none of the perpetrators will suffer any consequences. Not then. Not now. Not ever. Until Jesus Christ returns and replaces their global order with His kingdom order.


Trump cancels Iran attack, calls for immediate deal, claims Israel supporting commitment


Trump cancels Iran attack, calls for immediate deal, claims Israel supporting commitment

US President Donald Trump called for an immediate deal with Iran in a Truth Social post on Saturday night, claiming to have called off a massive attack against the country and to have Israel's support in his commitment.

"The USA is locked and loaded and ready to go against the Islamic Republic of Iran, at levels of Military Terror, Strength, and Power not seen since World War II," Trump claimed. 

"Despite this, we have just been asked by Iran, and other Middle Eastern Countries, to hold off any attack in that the perimeters of a deal has been agreed to."

Trump announced that the deal would have to include the complete opening of the Strait of Hormuz, and an end to Iran's nuclear threat.

"Based on this request, I have agreed, for the future benefit of the WORLD and, likewise, the survival of a successful and prosperous Iran, to cancel the attack, subject to being able to rapidly make a DEAL," Trump wrote.

Earlier on Saturday, two Israeli sources told The Jerusalem Post that Israel had raised the alert and readiness amid assessments that Trump was close to deciding to resume military strikes against Iran, potentially on an even larger scale.

Israeli officials told the Post that “we are on high alert and awaiting the president’s final decision.”

Axios also reported that Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman had asked Trump to reconsider potential large military strikes on Iran during a phone call on Saturday.
