Terry James: Anomalous End-times Signs Above

Anomalous End-times Signs Above

Terry James

My novel, The Rapture Dialogues, was accepted and published under the imprint called Anomalous. It was a story about UFOs and the crash in Roswell, New Mexico, in 1947. At least the story started there with the strange goings on that still have even the UFO experts of today wondering about exactly what took place at that time.

The government’s dealing with that long-past occurrence and the very latest incidents involving strange goings on in the dark heavens above have emerged to dominate headlines today. And they are no longer called UFOs (unidentified flying objects) but are now termed UAPs (unidentified anomalous phenomena).

My novel came out many years ago before the renaming from UFOs to UAPs. So, does that make me a prophet? Or my publisher an oracle?

Well, no, but my publisher and myself did agree that UFOs were anomalous matters, in that their true nature, although unknown by even the scientists of the world, was, we believe, made known by God’s Word. And Jesus Christ, who is the Word (John 1: 1), gave what I believe is the foretelling of just such anomalous phenomena for the wrap up of the Age of Grace.

The Lord prophesied the following in answering His disciples’ question: “What will be the sign of your coming, and of the end of the age?

And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars…(Luke 21:25a)

Jesus was saying there would be unmistakable signals to look for when the time for the wind-up of the Church Age arrived. Those watching as instructed in Mark 13: 37 and Luke 21:28 will know that these signs in the heavens will alert that Jesus is about to return as He promised (John 14:2–3).

Evidence mounts that we have reached the time Jesus spoke about. And it is this particular signal we will examine in this commentary.

Could unidentified anomalous phenomena — a new catch-all term for unidentified objects in the sky, oceans or space — be pushing the United States towards another “Sputnik Moment”?

That’s the belief of NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman, who compared the uptick in reported unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP) sightings in recent years to the Cold War paranoia stirred up when the former Soviet Union launched Sputnik 1, the first artificial satellite to circle Earth in 1957.

Isaacman made the comments in a recent interview with Blake Burman, host of NewsNation’s “The Hill” broadcast on Sept. 25 that touched upon a range of space-related issues. And one of those was probing the space agency chief about he thinks UAP might be.

Burman made note of pilot reports and videos released of objects with flight characteristics unlike anything previously seen.

“When you watch these videos,” Burman asked Isaacman, “do you believe that anything that we’ve seen in any of this is potentially extraterrestrial. Is it military? What is it?”

Isaacman said that NASA has had “a seat at the table” since U.S. President Donald Trump earlier this year called for releasing Unidentified Flying Object (UFO) and UAP files. That call is now officially known as the Presidential Unsealing and Reporting System for UAP Encounters (PURSUE).

“My position going into every one of these: one, be open-minded. I mean, it is kind of our job to go out and try to answer the question ‘are we alone?’” (“NASA chief Jared Isaacman wants to stay ‘open-minded’ about UFOs: ‘If it’s aliens, I think NASA should have a seat at the table’,” by Leonard David, SPACE, RR News October 6, 2026)

In answer to the “experts” here: We are not alone. Again, here is what God’s Word says through the Apostle Paul:

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. (Ephesians 6:12)

The dark forces of the evil one are indeed in the high places, and I believe they are manifesting against the black backdrop of deep space.

IDF chief puts military on highest alert, orders leave freeze, ahead of Oct. 27 vote

IDF chief puts military on highest alert, orders leave freeze, ahead of Oct. 27 vote

Emanuel Fabian

Israel Defense Forces Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir placed the military on its “highest state of alert” ahead of next week’s election and canceled soldiers’ leave, as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned Israel’s enemies not to test the country.

Zamir held an assessment Monday morning with senior officers, during which he “stressed that the IDF’s mission is to enable the democratic elections to take place on schedule and safely,” according to a statement.

He said the military is “on the highest state of alert and will continue to maintain a high level of vigilance and readiness across all fronts” in the coming period, ahead of the October 27 vote.

Zamir ordered a leave freeze across IDF units starting Thursday, requiring soldiers to remain on base instead of taking planned leave, “subject to ongoing situational assessments.”

He also instructed the military to have more senior officers present in command centers “to ensure operational readiness and capability.”

Meanwhile, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned Israel’s enemies not to test the country’s resolve during a visit to an unnamed Israeli Air Force base Monday.

“I say to our enemies: Do not test us,” Netanyahu said in a video released by his office. “You will suffer harder blows than you have suffered until now.”

He emphasized the air force’s “readiness, determination and capability to strike our enemies whenever required.”

“We are determined to defend ourselves,” Netanyahu added. “Do not test us.”

Nuclear War Will Start Because Someone Foolishly Decides That The Next Escalation Will Still Be Manageable

Nuclear War Will Start Because Someone Foolishly Decides That The Next Escalation Will Still Be Manageable

Michael Snyder

Can you imagine world leaders sitting around a big conference table and agreeing to have a nuclear war? Of course not, because that would never happen. Ultimately, it will be some sort of a mistake that plunges the world into nuclear war. Someone will foolishly decide that the next escalation will still be manageable, but instead it will provoke an unconventional response. In my opinion, today the world is closer to nuclear war than ever before. Both sides have significantly escalated the conflict in Ukraine, and it appears that the Great Middle East War is on the verge of spiraling out of control. If we do not find a way to pull back from the brink, we could end up deeply regretting it, because billions of people could end up dead.

If you back a wounded animal into a corner, you shouldn’t be surprised if that wounded animal does whatever it thinks is necessary to survive.

The war in the Middle East is far, far more dangerous than most people think that it is.

On Sunday, President Trump ominously declared that “we will soon finish the job” in Iran…

In a post on Truth Social on Sunday, Trump accused Iran of maintaining a decades-old chant of “Death to Israel, Death to America! We will destroy the Little Satan and the Big Satan.”

“It would have been only a question of time until Iran would have put that ominous phrase into effect,” Trump wrote in a message addressed to the Israeli public.

He said Iran had been “systematically destroyed, both militarily and financially,” adding: “Unless they change their ways, rapidly, we will soon finish the job.”

So what would finishing the job actually look like?

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu believes that would require regime change…

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed on Sunday to bring down the Islamic Republic, saying he had instructed Israel’s security agencies to pursue that goal and was prepared to act without US approval if necessary.

“We must bring this regime down once and for all,” Netanyahu said during a rare security briefing with Israeli journalists. “That is the directive I have given to all the security agencies.”

Netanyahu has made similar statements numerous times in recent weeks.

He is convinced that 90 percent of the job of bringing about regime change in Iran has already been done, and he is very open about the fact that Israel will act independently against Iran if that becomes necessary…

Netanyahu said 90 percent of the job had already been done, referring to efforts to bring down Iran’s political regime. Netanyahu said he regularly seeks Washington’s approval, but American consent has never been a precondition for pursuing Israel’s objectives.

“Our need to eliminate the nuclear threat and the broader threat posed by Iran, by the ayatollahs’ regime, stands on its own. To the extent necessary, we will also act independently. We have done so before, and if necessary, we will do so again,” Netanyahu said.

Israel views this as an existential conflict.

So does Iran.

In the end, only one side will remain standing.

The Iranians are warning us that they have prepared a brand new response to any new attacks, and they are telling us that it “will not follow the rules” that we are currently familiar with…

A senior Iranian security official warned Sunday that Tehran has prepared a new response plan for any renewed U.S.-Israeli attack, as maritime authorities reported several separate attacks on commercial vessels around the Arabian Peninsula.

“Iran’s armed forces have prepared a response to any new act of adventurism that would be far more devastating than the 12-day and 40-day wars,” Mohsen Rezaei, secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, said in a post on X, referring to attacks by Israel in June 2025, and the conflict triggered by the U.S. and Israel in February.

“Iran’s new operational plan will not follow the rules with which they are familiar,” Rezaei said in comments translated by Google.

I don’t like the sound of that.

Are the Iranians threatening to attack Europe or the U.S. homeland?

That could spark all-out war.

It could also be possible that they are threatening to use unconventional weapons.

We know that the Iranians possess chemical weapons, because they used them against Iranian protesters back in January.

We also know that the Iranians possess biological weapons.

As I have previously documented, U.S. officials have known about their biological weapons program since the 1990s.

In addition, there are many experts that are convinced that Iran’s nuclear program is a lot more advanced than they are publicly admitting.

If Iran were to actually use unconventional weapons, that could potentially spark a nuclear response from the United States and Israel.

I don’t think that the U.S. and Israel will attack Iran until after the midterm elections.

So we have a few weeks in which some sort of a peace agreement is still possible.

Unfortunately, Iran has decided to really increase the pace of tanker attacks…

According to data compiled by the Financial Times from UKMTO reports and European security sources, 24 ships were hit in the two weeks to October 11. The next most intense period of attacks was during the first two weeks of March, when 13 ships were hit.

An unknown projectile struck a tanker 68 nautical miles northeast of Jubail on Friday, UKMTO said in a report ⁠on Saturday.

All crew members ⁠were safe and had been evacuated, it said, adding that no environmental impact had been reported.

UKMTO later ⁠issued a second report on Saturday that a tanker was attacked by a rocket-propelled grenade from a small boat 78 nautical miles northeast of Jubail on Friday, damaging its aft port quarter.

Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia and the Houthis are really going at it.

The Houthis have been targeting some of the most sensitive targets in Saudi territory, and in response a military campaign to wipe out the Houthis and take back all of the territory that they currently occupy has been initiated…

Since their deadly attack on the airport in Saudi Arabia’s capital last Saturday, Houthi militants have struck Aramco, the state-owned oil company, and the presidential palace of the Saudi-backed government in Yemen, raising the stakes in a war in which there is no clear exit.

Amid the Houthi strikes, Saudi Arabia has mounted a military campaign in Yemen to reclaim territory seized by the Iranian-backed militia group. The Saudi leadership, according to two officials who are part of Yemen’s Saudi-backed government, sees a battlefield victory as its only option.

This is another war for all the marbles.

According to Yemen’s internationally-recognized government, 370 Houthi troops have been “neutralized” over the past 24 hours…

Trump warns Putin could side with Iran if Russia peace talks fail, says Ukraine 'in shambles'

Trump warns Putin could side with Iran if Russia peace talks fail, says Ukraine 'in shambles'

 Emma Bussey

President Donald Trump defended his Russia strategy Sunday while warning that immediate action against Moscow could derail peace talks and drive Moscow into a closer alliance with Tehran.

In a post shared on Truth Social, Trump also accused Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy of driving up global diesel prices through refinery strikes.

“My decision on Russia is a very simple one,” Trump said Sunday before describing his efforts to negotiate an end to the war between Russia and Ukraine.

Trump said he didn't want to do anything that would “drive, foolishly, Russia away from the bargaining table” and claimed significant progress was being made in peace talks and ongoing hostage negotiations.

“Russia is doing very little, if anything, to help the Islamic Republic of Iran, compared to what they could be doing, and I want to keep it that way, and will, unless stupid people get in the way,” Trump said.

Trump also accused Zelenskyy of targeting Russian diesel refineries, saying the Ukrainian president was using them “as a target” while knowing that the attacks are “seriously hurting the world diesel markets, including those in the United States.”

“Farmers, ranchers, and businesses of all kinds are suffering greatly from this, but Russia is, nevertheless, sending, at a low price, millions of barrels of diesel to the World,” Trump said.

“Zelenskyy doesn’t care, and frankly, with all of the money that Europe is famously giving him, and that Crooked Joe Biden gave him in the past, he doesn’t want to end this war, and probably never did,” Trump said.

“He could have made a better deal two years ago than he can now. His country is in shambles, a large portion of his land is lost, his oceans and seas are gone, and his male population is low, wounded, and/or dead,” Trump added.

“I WANT THIS WAR END!” Trump said.

Zelensky Lack of Judgment:

Zelensky Lack of Judgment

STEPHEN BRYEN

Zelensky’s harsh words about US President Donald Trump was an emotional response after Zelensky deliberately thwarted Trump’s request that Ukraine not strike Russian refineries. Unfortunately Zelensky is making matters worse, and Ukraine’s future is now in doubt.

Ukraine targeted two Russian oil refineries, according to Russian Deputy Prime minister Aleksandr Novak. The key target on Wednesday, October 14, and Thursday, October 15, 2026, was the Ryazan Oil Refinery. A Ukrainian drone swarm targeted the facility overnight, igniting multiple fires at the plant. Another plant in Saratov also was hit, but information on that strike is limited.

Zelensky excused the strikes saying the Russians had violated Trump’s alleged energy ceasefire. Neither side, however, ever agreed to a ceasefire, as the record clearly shows.

Zelensky also claimed Trump had slowed Starlink feeds to Ukraine, and that US intelligence failed to warn Ukraine of incoming Russian missiles aimed at Kiev. It is uncertain if Zelensky is right that US intelligence deliberately did not notify Kiev of an incoming missile strike.

US satellites can detect and track ballistic missile launches by picking up infrared rocket booster signatures, and launches from Russian territory are handed over in near real time to Ukraine’s air defense units, especially its Patriot batteries. However, Russian commentators and bloggers do not believe the US stopped intelligence reporting to Ukraine. 

While for one day Ukraine’s Starlink connectivity was slowed in order to show the Ukrainians that they faced losing their communications lifeline if they kept hitting Russian oil refineries, there is no hard evidence that the US deliberately shut down intelligence sharing. Russian military experts say what fooled the satellites is the missiles fired at Kiev on October 12 and 13 were launched from converted S-400 air defenses, not from Russian territory, and that the closure time between launch and hit was only a matter of some seconds. The experts also think the US satellites did not pick up the S-400 launchers in Donetsk.

Ukraine’s attack on the Bryansk S-400s is probably linked to preventing Russia from shooting down Ukraine’s Neptune missiles aimed at Moscow.

US-Ukraine Relations are in Bad Shape

From what we now know, it is fair to say that Washington is not only frustrated but extremely angry with Zelensky, seeing him not only as uncooperative and not a team player, but directly undermining US interests when it comes to energy policy, a critical issue for the Trump administration. Zelensky’s hot temper and his attacks on Trump personally may have finally ruptured any future either for Zelensky or for Ukraine.

It is quite true that Zelensky has important allies on Capitol Hill and in Europe. But each of these relationships has significant caveats.

The President executes foreign policy. Congress can influence Presidential decisions, but the day to day management is in the Executive’s hands. While Trump is deeply involved in a critical election cycle, and has no strong interest in alienating his Republican allies, that will end in November (one way or another). After that, Trump is in the driver’s seat and Zelensky will have a hard time trying to recruit support in Congress. Trump can slow-go arms deliveries, restrict intelligence support, or make deals with the Russians, and Zelensky will not have much he can do to reverse any of that.

As part of his verbal attack on Trump. on October 14th Zelensky shuttled off to the UK where he was given a high level heroes welcome, and even an audience with King Charles at Buckingham Palace. The British, who have few workable weapons, promised “speedy” delivery of some anti drone technology, but nothing else. Zelensky was after European political support and he managed to upstage and again at least indirectly insult the American president. While Zelensky’s support in Europe seems solid, Europe’s political situation is anything but stable and could shift against Ukraine very quickly.

Nigel Farage, head of Reform in the UK, does not want the UK fighting for Ukraine and is demanding Ukraine hold elections. 

Marine Le Pen, the leading presidential candidate in France, advocates halting direct French financial aid to Ukraine, citing France’s severe domestic national debt and budget challenges. Le Pen criticizes European energy sanctions against Russia, calling them self-destructive for Europe’s economy and opposes sending offensive long-range weaponry or troops to Ukraine.

In Germany the resurgent AfD (Alternative for Germany) maintains a pro-Russian, anti-sanctions, and anti-aid stance regarding the war in Ukraine. The party advocates for immediate diplomatic negotiations with Moscow and a complete halt to German military assistance to Kyiv.

While the war in Ukraine and relations with Russia grab the headlines in Europe, the real European crisis is population, specifically Muslims from the Middle East and North Africa. In Germany around 15.4 to 17.4 million living in Germany were born outside of Germany, and with their children account for 21.8 million, around 20 to 25% of the German population.

In France, between 15 and 16 million are North African and Middle Eastern Muslims, or 20% of the population.

Around 1.3 million living in London are Muslims, 51 percent born outside of the UK. About 23 to 25% of the population of Brussels is Muslim.

The political reaction developing in Germany, France and the UK is closely linked to the population crisis and it is the silent war now underway on and off the continent.

A significant part of Ukraine’s draftable army is in Germany where 300,000 to 400,000 draft age young men sit and get welfare. Overall around 1.2 million draftable Ukrainians are in Europe, not Ukraine.

Meanwhile Ukraine is scraping the barrel trying to hustle young people into the army, trying to get rid of deferments, and using harsh tactics in rounding up recruits. Ukraine’s borders are closed to young men.

It is hard to understand why Zelensky started a fight with Trump over Russian oil. To say he was stabbed in the back, and to make a show in the UK, which once was America’s most trusted ally, shows an unprecedented lack of judgement.

Trump is already furious with the Europeans over not supporting the US in the Iran War (and lately Houthis as well). Having Zelensky stir the pot even more, is not something welcomed in Washington.

Zelensky’s mistake and blunder has long term consequences, reinforced by the shifting sands of European politics, and Washington’s long term interests, that differ markedly from Ukraine’s.
