A total of five medical facilities in Siberia have been closed for quarantine following a suspected plague case.

Several U.S. politicians are now advocating for a suspension of commercial air travel to and from Russia until the situation becomes clearer.

CHINA:

"Warnings about new covid variants and the growing outbreak are spreading rapidly .
PJ.2.1 could become the dominant variant because of how quickly it spreads and repeated infections could increase the risk of death.

Miss Jao a funeral industry worker in Harbin said there has recently been an increase in sudden deaths among younger people leaving

parents to bury their own children. She said these days it's become common for young people to suddenly die without warning.
Experts say Dengue fever, Chikungunya , and covid 19 can all cause similar early symptoms including fever, headache and muscle aches. It starts with ordinary respiratory symptoms including fever and inflammation. If the spinal cord is damaged, they develop paralysis. This is an extreme immune response that damages the liver, kidneys, hearts, and other organs and can even cause organ failure."

And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. 

Revelation 13:17
Major power inches into Digital Currency.
Q: Who will follow?

"Russia is ready to launch the digital ruble for broad use starting Sept. 1, Central Bank Governor Elvira Nabiullina said, The Moscow Times reported on July 2. Starting Sept. 1, all 12 systemically

important banks must process digital ruble transactions, and major retailers will also accept the currency as payment. “Technologically, everything is ready. We did a great deal of preparatory work before this stage,” Nabiullina said.
It is unclear which other banks will work with the digital ruble. The Central Bank unexpectedly withheld the list of banks participating in the digital ruble platform." NV

But the last 3 weeks or so has been non stop---the amount on a scale for a short time that I've never seen before....especially in China.

Literal RUMORS of WAR: A "Rumor" was spread by the head of NATO that Russia and China are planning a surprise attack to start WW3 (of course likely a lie but who knows)?

IN the NEWS - "Rumors" of Wars....

And ye shall hear of wars and rumors of wars: 

Matthew 24:6

Although this Rumor is highly unlikely---since China is being nearly destroyed by mother nature right now and Russia has been bogged down in a war for a third of a decade that it should have been able to end in the first few months--I guess anything is possible.

---But the takeaway from this story, as far fetched as it is--is that it fulfills the prophecy part about "RUMORS" of wars. Not just the prediction of wars but also "Rumors" of war.

"NATO chief Mark Rutte has chillingly warned that World War II will start with simultaneous invasions from Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin.

Secretary-general Rutte suggested the combined attacks from the Chinese and Russian leaders could trigger a World War nightmare and bring the planet to the brink of Armageddon.

According to the NATO chief, China would start by seeking to grab Taiwan - while ensuring the Kremlin dictator simultaneously attacks NATO territory, amid fears Putin is anyway eyeing the Baltic republics Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, formerly part of the USSR.
Russia today hit back at ex-Netherlands premier Rutte, claiming he had 'gorged on too many of the magic mushrooms beloved by the Dutch', while warning he should look forward to a future in a hellish Siberian labor camp.
Stressing the urgent need to re-arm and boost military budgets, Rutte told the New York Times in a chilling vision of the future: "Let's not be naïve about this."
"If Xi Jinping would attack Taiwan, he would first make sure that he makes a call to his very junior partner in all of this, Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin, residing in Moscow, and telling him, "Hey, I'm going to do this, and I need you to to keep them busy in Europe by attacking NATO territory".
'That is most likely the way this will progress" he added." msn

"As the United States continues to attempt to broker a ceasefire deal between Russia and Ukraine, Ukrainian President Volodymyr

Zelensky said he spoke with the Vatican secretary of state.

In a long post on X March 14, the Ukrainian leader said that during the conversation with Cardinal Pietro Parolin, "I wished Pope Francis a speedy recovery and thanked him for his prayers and moral support for our people, as well as for his efforts in facilitating the return of Ukrainian children illegally deported and displaced by Russia. The Holy See has received a list of Ukrainians being held in Russian prisons and camps. We are counting on support for their

release," the president posted.
"The voice of the Holy See is very important on the path to peace. I am grateful for the readiness to make efforts towards our shared goal," he wrote."

But the prince of the kingdom of Persia (Lucifer, prince of this lost world) withstood me one and twenty days: but, lo, Michael, (pre-incarnate name of Christ) one of the chief princes, (One of the Triune Godhead) came to help me; and I remained there with the kings of Persia (literal kings of Persia).,,, Daniel 10:13

The Prince of Persia (Lucifer) leaves the same Footprint while stalking the earth, What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun. (Eccl. 1:9).

You can see this in the Social Unrest and Protests in favor of IslamoFascism over the last month and a half---such as in the example below from Australia...

Around 1,000 protesters gathered outside Sydney’s iconic performing arts hall late Monday carrying flares and Palestinian flags and chanting “Gas the Jews,” “F–k the Jews” and “Allahu Akbar” (Arabic for “God is great”)...."

"As German leaders prepared for the invasion of the Soviet Union in spring 1941,...Soviet cities would be destroyed, Soviet industry destroyed, and eastern lands reduced to depopulated prairie ripe for German agrarian colonization.

But the Red Army resisted, and Stalin remained in the Kremlin. It proved difficult to starve large numbers of civilians without total control of territory. Stalin had managed to starve millions of his own citizens in these same lands a few years before, but he had at his disposal, then, an apparatus of terror and a loyal party organization that the invading Germans could not match.... The German Einsatzgruppen made selections of those whom they believed to be Jews and political officers and killed them on the spot. The concentration camps in Germany became killing facilities when they received Soviet prisoners, who were murdered in shooting campaigns at Dachau, Buchenwald, Sachsenhausen, Mauthausen and Auschwitz. Soviet prisoners were gassed experimentally, using both carbon monoxide (at Sachsenhausen) and hydrogen cyanide (at Auschwitz) – the two agents then used to asphyxiate millions of Jews.... Jews, on other hand, were targeted in 1942 for a policy of complete annihilation."
