The Unanswered Question

The Unanswered Question

Daymond Duck

On Sept. 24, 2026, the Prophecy News Watch (PNW) staff posted an excellent article that says two visions of the future are taking shape.

They noted that world leaders have gathered for a UN meeting in New York to speak about war, security, artificial intelligence, climate, international law, and the future.

But these leaders are espousing two different visions about how the world should be governed.

Here is part of what the PNW staff said:

One places national sovereignty at the center.

Nations cooperate when it serves their interests but ultimately retain control over their laws, borders, technology, military, and foreign policy.

The other places growing emphasis on multilateralism: stronger international institutions, global standards, international law and coordinated action when individual governments refuse to follow an emerging international consensus.

As to where America stands at this time, the PNW staff said:

• Trump’s message to the United Nations was unmistakable.
• America will cooperate, negotiate, and maintain alliances, but it will not surrender its sovereignty to international institutions.
• He denounced attempts by unelected “globalist bureaucrats” to dictate policy to sovereign nations.

After some important discussion of the two visions (and their disagreement over what world leaders should do about Israel), the PNW staff pointed out that the U.S. changes presidents.

And the unanswered question may be where America will stand in the future.

Will America continue to be a sovereign nation, or will America align itself with the unelected globalist bureaucrats?

(More: On Sept. 29, 2096, it was reported that more than 600 immigrants are moving north through Mexico toward the U. S., coinciding with the lead-up to the midterm elections in November. They want a Democrat takeover of Congress in the midterms and a shift toward more relaxed border enforcement.)

(My opinion: When God removes all Christians from the earth, every nation except Israel, but including America, will be ruled by an unelected individual called the Antichrist; Rev. 13:7. At the end of the Tribulation Period, God will cause the Antichrist to gather armies from all the nations at the Valley of Jehoshaphat and destroy them; Rev. 19.)

Here are some recent events that seem to indicate that the end of the age is near:

One, on Sept. 24, 2026, Barry Stagner (author of 7 books on Bible prophecy) posted a brief article on Harbingers.com that says in part:

• The world is readying itself for the ministry of the false prophet and his global religious system.
• The pump is being primed by people’s demands that all religions be viewed as equal and that adherents of every religion respect the beliefs of others.
• This will never happen, and the only solution is for people to develop a one-world religion.
• The world is making itself ready for the greatest deception in all of human history: the pseudo-peace that will be offered to the world through the worship of the antichrist.
• While it is clear that today’s growing call for religious ecumenism is setting the stage for a one-world religion, what is often overlooked is the nature of that final global religion.
• It will not be Catholicism blended with Islam blended with Buddhism, like many have purported.
• Revelation 13 makes it clear that the global religion of the tribulation will be Satan worship.
• Everyone whose name is not written in the Lamb’s Book of Life will worship the dragon who empowers and gives global authority to the beast.
• Imagine a world filled with Satan worshippers, and you can easily arrive at an understanding of why the tribulation saints will be hated to the degree that people prefer to see them dead. After all, their “god” only comes to steal, to kill, and to destroy (John 10:10).

Two, concerning world government: on Sept. 30, 2026, Alex Newman (The Liberty Sentinel) said:

• President Trump delivered a fiery address at the United Nations, declaring there will be “no global government” and “no global taxes” while he is president.
• He blasted the International Criminal Court, mass migration, UNESCO, and efforts to impose global control over artificial intelligence.
• The president also issued a stark warning to Iran and predicted the eventual collapse of Cuba’s communist regime, causing the Cuban delegation to leave the UN floor.

Three, concerning wars and rumors of wars at the end of the age: on Sept. 28, 2026, it was reported that Russian President Vladimir Putin has just signed a decree to increase the size of the Russian army to 2.4 million active-duty members.

(More: Ukraine said that more than 8,000 North Korean troops are already on Russian soil and that Pyongyang is preparing to send another 10,000.)

(More: On Sept. 30, 2026, it was reported that Russia warned NATO that Russia will be ready to use the entire arsenal of forces and capabilities at its disposal, including nuclear weapons, if NATO countries attempt to isolate Kaliningrad from the rest of Russia. Kaliningrad is a heavily militarized Russian exclave on the Baltic Sea.)

The Coming Deception?

'UFOs' and The Greatest Increase in Knowledge the World Has Ever Seen | Tipping Point Show

Video

The world has changed dramatically in the last three years, and four critical signs have now converged in a way that has never happened before in human history.

In this Tipping Point segment Jimmy Evans discusses how:
– Artificial intelligence has triggered a tsunami of knowledge exactly as prophesied in Daniel 12:4 (NKJV).
– UFOs and alien encounters have been officially disclosed by the U.S. government, setting the world up for the coming great deception described in 2 Thessalonians 2 (NKJV).

Do not be discouraged, Jesus said when you see these things begin to happen, look up. Your redemption draws near.

Kiev In Panic as Russian Drones Begin Severing Main-Bridge Cables

Kiev In Panic as Russian Drones Begin Severing Main-Bridge Cables

Simplicius

Not long after we published yesterday’s report, Russia began to again strike the South Bridge in Kiev. Yesterday we saw drones that had possibly missed and hit the bridge roadway itself, but today the drones impacted the cable stays, which seemed to be the target:

Recall that Russia is said to be using a new line of Geran-4 drones with special “wire-cutting” cumulative charges. These drones appear to be attempting to hit the suspension cables in order to cut them and force the collapse, or at least the degradation of the structural integrity, of the bridge.

Close up photos show that the cables appear to have been damaged or outright severed in some areas:

Experts please chime in in the comments section: can a suspension bridge of this nature be brought down by damaging or severing enough of the cables? Or would subsequent missile strikes have to “finish off” its structural integrity somehow?

The mood in Kiev immediately turned into grim panic as traffic jams paralyzed the city after the bridge was shut down to car traffic:

Kiev mayor Vitali Klitschko was ruffled:

“We’re talking about survival,” Klitschko saidat Friday’s defence council meeting with Kyiv’s top military, security, emergencies and police officials.

“They want to destroy our bridges… our data centres, the internet, mobile networks, hospitals, kindergartens, schools, universities – everything. They want people to flee their cities.”

Zelensky likewise believes Russia wants Kiev to be abandoned, and has been striking the city 24/7:

Every major Ukrainian outlet has suddenly grown very concerned:

https://www.kyivpost.com/post/85928

Traffic across Kyiv was brought to a near standstill on Friday morning, Oct. 2, after Russian strikes forced authorities to close or restrict several key bridges across the Dnipro River.

The closures triggered massive traffic jams across the capital, with severe congestion reported in Pechersk, along Dniprovska Embankment, and on routes connecting the two banks. Some Kyiv residents abandoned their vehicles and continued on foot, local media reported.

FT reports on new “deeply disturbing intelligence” claimed to be intercepted from Russia that suggests Putin is taking the gloves off to truly unplug Ukraine like never before this winter:

Christopher Miller@ChristopherJM

More from my @FT interview with President Zelenskyy and on the intelligence intercepted by Kyiv about Russia’s winter attack plans. It’s deeply disturbing. Attacks concentrated on Kyiv, Kharkiv, Odesa and Lviv. The goal: isolate them, destroy morale, sow chaos, spark a new flood …

The “secret Russian plan” reportedly consists of using up to 1,000 missiles which Russia has been stockpiling—given that Iskanders have not been used much in the past few weeks—to cripple Ukraine’s energy grid:

Mr. Shmyhal, the people said, described the document as an intercepted Russian plan to cause the energy system to collapse through methodical attacks. The plan, a copy of which The New York Times obtained, describes a campaign of strikes using up to 1,000 missiles, drones and bombs. They would target a wide range of facilities, including electrical substations, hydroelectric and thermal power plants, and boiler houses.

They even claim that Russia intends to unplug Ukraine’s nuclear plants:

Most alarming, the document says that Russia intends to force Ukraine’s three operating nuclear plants — the backbone of its power infrastructure — to shut down by firing missiles at the electrical switchyards that connect them to the grid. The switchyards sit less than a mile from the reactors.

"One Month Until Drawdown": UBS Sounds Alarm On Europe's Thin Gas Buffer As Winter Looms

"One Month Until Drawdown": UBS Sounds Alarm On Europe's Thin Gas Buffer As Winter Looms

TYLER DURDEN

UBS energy analyst Nayoung Kim warned about a growing vulnerability in Europe's natural gas market on Thursday: with less than a month before seasonal withdrawals begin, storage levels remain well below historical norms for this time of year, leaving the continent with a smaller buffer against winter demand and supply disruptions.

Kim wrote that despite optimism this week over improved Hormuz flows (read the Goldman report), which has kept energy prices in check, top LNG exporter Qatar shipped just four cargoes in September, compared with 25 a month before June 2025 and an average of around 30. Force majeure has also been extended into November or early December for some buyers.

The final countdown to Europe's NatGas drawdown period is underway, with EU gas storage standing at just 71.50% full as of the end of the week, well below the 15-year average of around 88% for this time of year.

Weekly injections slowed to 1.3 billion cubic meters from 1.6 billion, with Norwegian maintenance and higher industrial demand offsetting an increase in LNG arrivals.

"We expect storage to reach 74% by winter, below last year's 84% and the five-year average of 90%, before falling to around 25% by the end of winter," Kim wrote in the note.

Meanwhile, Asian buyers are stepping up purchases. Weekly LNG inflows into Asia rose 12%, led by Northeast Asia, while combined arrivals into Japan and South Korea jumped 33% from the previous week.

Europe will have to pay up to keep cargoes coming before the Northern Hemisphere winter arrives. Asia's JKM benchmark is trading at a premium of more than $1.50 per million British thermal units to Europe's TTF, potentially forcing European buyers to raise bids for spot supplies, according to the analyst.

For Europe, the reality is clear: its benchmark Dutch TTF natural gas price will have to stay elevated through the winter, and buffers will remain unusually thin.

All it will take is one cold shot, renewed disruption to Gulf shipments, or sustained Asian buying for the Europeans to panic.

Beyond low NatGas supplies, Europe is also facing a fuel crisis, as the Trump administration has asked France and Germany to begin releasing emergency diesel supplies.

Siberian Plague-Lab Death Draws FSB Escort For Ambulances

Siberian Plague-Lab Death Draws FSB Escort For Ambulances

TYLER DURDEN

A possible plague case in Siberia has triggered a major containment effort after the death of a 28-year-old employee of an anti-plague laboratory. A hospital wing is under quarantine, nearly 200 people are reportedly under observation, and Russia's chief sanitary official has flown in. Local outlets say FSB units have been escorting ambulances carrying the woman's contacts for examination.

The authorities are clearly taking the threat seriously - but getting a straight answer out of the feds is another matter. Irkutsk Governor Igor Kobzev is still calling it a "particularly dangerous infection," while assuring residents that every identified contact is symptom-free and testing negative.

The dead lab worker has been identified as Daria Shipilova, a laboratory assistant at the Irkutsk Anti-Plague Research Institute of Siberia and the Far East, according to Lyudi Baikala and REN TV. She was admitted to hospital in Shelekhov with severe pneumonia, placed on a ventilator, and died. Reports differ slightly on the timeline: The Moscow Times gives a September 29 admission and a Thursday death (48 hours), while Lyudi Baikala says she spent three days in hospital. 

According to The Moscow Times, Shipilova told medical staff she had accidentally broken a tube containing live bacteria while collecting samples. Lyudi Baikala, citing journalist Pavel Stepanov and the Telegram channel Mash, placed the alleged accident on September 25 and linked it to plague bacteria. Those reports describe the illness as pneumonic plague, although neither that diagnosis nor the laboratory accident has been publicly confirmed by investigators. IRK.ru reported that doctors initially suspected severe COVID and sent her to the hospital's COVID center.

By the evening of October 1, security and administrative officials were meeting in Irkutsk. Lyudi Baikala, citing a source close to law enforcement, reported that FSB units began accompanying ambulances transporting Shipilova's contacts for examination that day. The Insider carried the same account, while residents reported seeing people in protective suits on the streets. The FSB has not confirmed the escorts.

Shelekhov district head Maxim Modin confirmed that the hospital's inpatient department was under quarantine; the outpatient clinic remained open. Kobzev said the sanitary-epidemiological commission had convened on October 2 over a suspected "particularly dangerous infection." Anna Popova, who heads Rospotrebnadzor, the federal agency that runs Russia's disease surveillance and owns the anti-plague institutes, traveled to attend. The governor told TASS it was premature to identify the disease and made no mention of a death. Irkutsk also postponed a city cleanup day scheduled for October 3.

The reported contact numbers suggest how widely authorities are casting the net. REN TV and Izvestia put the total at roughly 197, with 189 hospitalized for observation: 114 in one facility, 63 in another, and 12 at the anti-plague institute. Eight remained outside hospital, and some accounts said the list was still growing. No secondary infection has been confirmed. Kobzev's October 2 statement said the contacts had no symptoms and negative tests, although some media reports claimed several people under observation had developed symptoms.

The leader of Buryatia (the next region over from the lab), Alexey Tsydenov, wrote that the woman who died of plague in Irkutsk region had not visited his republic. Citing Rospotrebnadzor and his government, he also said Buryatia had no plague foci, including along the Mongolian border. But even that acknowledgment became less definite: Meduza reported that he later edited the post to say she "may have died of plague." He did not identify the pneumonic form.

Meanwhile, competing accounts sent Shipilova to Thailand or Buryatia before she fell ill. Tsydenov denied the Buryatia visit. Gennady Onishchenko, who ran Rospotrebnadzor until 2013, questioned whether plague was involved at all, pointing to dormant rodents and fleas and snow already falling in Buryatia. That argument addresses a possible wildlife exposure; it does not resolve the allegation that she broke a tube of bacteria at work.

By Saturday, some of the public information was disappearing. Baikalsk's administration posted a notice urging residents to limit travel to Shelekhov and nearby settlements, citing "unofficial information" about a plague case. Roughly two hours later, the notice was gone. REN TV also deleted five Telegram posts about the Shelekhov hospitalization figures.
