"Hubble’s observations allow astronomers to more accurately estimate the size of the comet’s solid, icy nucleus. The upper limit on the diameter of the nucleus is 3.5 miles (5.6 kilometers), though it could be as small as 1,000 feet (320 meters) across, researchers report.Though the Hubble images put tighter constraints on the size of the nucleus compared to previous ground-based estimates, the solid heart of the comet presently cannot be directly seen, even by Hubble.Observations from other NASA missions including the James Webb Space Telescope, TESS (Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite), and the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory, as well as NASA’s partnership with the W.M. Keck Observatory, will help further refine our knowledge about the comet, including its chemical makeup."

"After almost four decades of a bloody conflict that until recently had no end in sight, Azerbaijan and Armenia signed a peace agreement in the presence of the US President Donald Trump."
(That is just not the proper context at all
Its been going on a lot loner than that.
Here is a map or Armenia in 1918.
(and actually goes back well before this.
File that away in your head,
we will come back to it.)
"Leaders of Armenia and Azerbaijan Nikol Pashinyan (On the right)
and Ilham Aliyev (On the left) signed a peace agreement
(Initiative, its just a framework)
on Friday in the presence of US President Donald Trump in Washington,
after almost four decades of a bloody Karabakh conflict."
“We are today establishing peace in the South Caucasus,” Azerbaijan's President Aliyev said. "Today we writing a great new history."
(The lesson of Nazi Germany in 1933 isn't just that when you see facsism rising you get out while you can, it os also that appeasement never ever works. The aggressor being given more of what he wants will just take more, we have seen this just over and over and over throughout history. Same here with Azerbaijan, will be with Putin and Russia in Eastern Ukraine etc, its just how it works.

"In September 2023, Azerbaijan reclaimed full control of the Karabakh region after a lightning military campaign..."
(Warning:
Long detour
The day,
the very day that happened in September of 23
I did a presentation in the Noah to New Earth series
where I covered the prophecy
of Revelation 17:8-11
Revelation 17:8-11
The beast, which you saw, once was, now is not, and yet will come up out of the Abyss and go to its destruction. The inhabitants of the earth whose names have not been written in the book of life from the creation of the world will be astonished when they see the beast, because it once was, now is not, and yet will come.
9 “This calls for a mind with wisdom. The seven heads are seven hills on which the woman sits. 10 They are also seven kings. Five have fallen, one is, the other has not yet come; but when he does come, he must remain for only a little while. 11 The beast who once was, and now is not, is an eighth king. He belongs to the seven and is going to his destruction.
"Sharing a language, though with different dialects, the two countries had a record of military cooperation going back to the 1917 Russian Revolution. In 1918, the Ottoman military assisted Azerbaijan’s independence efforts. After the collapse of the Soviet Union and Azerbaijan’s independence,
“two states, one nation”
became a motto for a close relationship between the two countries."
I said the day I did the presentation:
"They are going to wipe them off the map.
They are going to finish the job they started
during WW1."
(Last night when sitting on the porch and thinking that same exact thought? I saw a shooting star, just as bright as could be and lasting several seconds. Honey was inside, when she came back out and I told her about it? She said, "It's nice to get confirmation isn't it?" I said yes, yes it is.)
I did not see the news of "Azerbaijan reclaimed full control of the Karabakh region" till the next morning (I was busy doing the presentation) when it was the first story in my news feed, for obvious reasons, and I got that queasy feeling in my stomach knowing that what was said about that prophecy happened on the very day that region fell. I said to myself:
"It's here."
(The beast from the Abyss)
And it about made me feel sick.
Revelation 10:9
And I went to the angel and said, “Give me the small scroll.” “Take it and eat it,” he said. “ It will make your stomach bitter, but in your mouth it will be as sweet as honey.”
"and over the past year, Baku and Yerevan have been making progress in normalising their relations."
(Armenia just has no choice, if they dont just give the Azerbaijanis what they want?
They will just take it anyway and the Armenians know it, and they really dont have the means by which to defend themselves.
The reason Azerbaijan had a "lightning military campaign" of the Karabakh region, was in large part due to the Turkish drones, just hammering Armenian positions artillery, tanks, etc they are just simply outmatched and know it. So what is their choice here?)
"Trump route' in South Caucasus
Armenia and Azerbaijan agreed to create a major transit corridor that will be named the Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity.
It will connect mainland Azerbaijan and its Nakhchivan region, which borders Baku's ally Turkey via Armenian territory."
(Nothing I have read says where it will be located
but one can imagine it will look something like:
So since 2023,
we have seen this:
Turn into this:
And now will be something
along the lines of
this:
Its just not all that hard to imagine
this being next
I said the day I did the presentation:
"They are going to wipe them off the map.
They are going to finish the job they started
during WW1."
And now we are seeing it come to fruition.
Under the guise of:
"Peace and Prosperity"
Declared on 8/8.
Coincidence?
Nothing is an accident with God.
Nothing.
Everything serves his purpose.
Proverbs 16:4
The Lord hath made all things for himself:
yea, even the wicked for the day of evil.)
"For Baku, the corridor offers a direct land connection to Nakhchivan, strengthens ties with Turkey..."
(That is the only people gaining here.
TURKEY.
And why wouldn't
The False Prophet
“We will make the United States a manufacturing superpower and the world capital of Artificial Intelligence and Crypto.”
Donald Trump, 1/23/25
three days after inauguration.
and
Revelation 19:20 directly ties the False Prophet
to the new Satanically controlled economic system, "666".
"And the beast was taken,
and with him the false prophet
that wrought miracles before him,
with which he deceived them
that had received the mark of the beast,
and them that worshipped his image.
These both were cast alive
into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.
Ive said it plenty of times before:
The False prophet sets it up with the billions received from the Saudia Arabia Investment Forum and the ten kings without a kingdom (Our Tech Bro Overlords Revelation 17:12) and he markets it, then The Antichrist will take it over when the time comes.
Revelation 13:12
12 And he exerciseth all the power
of the first beast
BEFORE HIM...
Back to the article:)
"For Baku, the corridor offers a direct land connection to Nakhchivan, strengthens ties with Turkey and consolidates post-war gains through infrastructure diplomacy."
(We are rewarding the aggressor
which means he will just want more:
Proverbs 27:20
20 Hell and destruction are never full;
so the eyes of man are never satisfied.
"Don't forget your history
Know your destiny
In the abundance of water
The fool is thirsty")
"It also strengthens Azerbaijan’s position as a crucial transport and logistics hub on a global scale. Initially, Azerbaijan did not want to have any third party involved and preferred to have it under Baku’s control, without the US, Europe or Russia's involvement.
(Exactly what the Beast from the Abyss would want.)
"For Yerevan the transport route provides an opportunityto further integrate into wider trade networks, diversify its battered economy and attract foreign investment. Geopolitically, it would also help Armenia normalise relations with its neighbours."
"Yerevan was concerned it could threaten Armenian sovereignty and wanted it to remain under Armenian control."
"The new Trump route will be operated according to Armenian law, and
the US will sublease the land
to a consortium
for infrastructure and management,
the officials said."
(Translation:
"Were going to make $
off of watching you be
exterminated."
Nice...)
“Many leaders have tried to end the war, with no success, until now, thanks to Trump,” the US president said on his Truth Social site."
(1 Thessalonians 5:3
For when they shall say,
Peace and safety;
then sudden destruction
cometh upon them,
as travail upon a woman with child;
and they shall not escape.)
"In recent days, Russia-state-controlled media have issued massive criticism and numerous attacks on Pashinyan, accusing him of “trading” Armenian sovereignty for personal financial gains and even calling him a “puppet”."
(This wasnt ever a very popular option, the "transit corridor" thrpough Armenia, thats for sure. Like I asked, what is their other option here when "Give it to us or we will just take it." is all there is?)
"Without holding Azerbaijan’s aggressive behavior to account, the imminent Caucasus peace deal won’t bring stability to the region."
"Last October, during the heat of the US presidential campaign, President Donald Trump turned to Truth Social to admonish the Biden administration’s failure to stop the persecution of Armenians by Azerbaijan:
"Kamala Harris did NOTHING as 120,000 Armenian Christians were horrifically persecuted and forcibly displaced in Artsakh.
(Thats the Karabakh region
that fell in September of 23,
seen here in light blue:
)
"Christians around the world will not be safe if Kamala Harris is President of the United States. When I am President, I will protect persecuted Christians, I will work to stop the violence and ethnic cleansing, and we will restore PEACE between Armenia and Azerbaijan."
(In reality?
The false prophet
is only encouraging more of
"persecuted Christians...
violence and ethnic cleansing")
"With Armenia and Azerbaijan poised to ink a peace deal at the White House this Friday, President Trump seems to be following through on that statement. Still, upon closer examination, this agreement proves to be toothless and a feeble attempt to portray Azerbaijan as a trusted partner. Put simply, it is rich in symbolism and lacking in substance."
(AMEN!)
"That is why the United States and Europe failed to prevent Azerbaijan from starving Armenians living in their ancestral homeland of Artsakh, also known as Nagorno-Karabakh, during a 10-month road blockade which culminated in the ethnic cleansing of more than 120,000 Armenians from the region in September 2023, making it the largest displacement of Armenians since the Armenian Genocide of 1915."
"Since taking over the enclave, Azerbaijan has demonstrated a behavior that contrasts sharply with the desire for peace, indicating a preference for confrontation and even violence."
"They continue to hold Armenian political prisoners and prisoners of war in jail without due process. These sham trials and proceedings have been criticized by Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch. When pressured by external voices, Aliyev ordered the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) to leave Azerbaijan, which was a direct attempt to limit the only access these Armenian political prisoners had to the outside world and report on their condition."
"While pursuing peace, Azerbaijan has also embarked on a campaign of cultural erasure of Armenian churches, monasteries, khachkars (cross-stone monuments), and other religious and historical sites in Artsakh that have stood in the region for thousands of years. Under the pretext of “restoring” Armenian churches and religious sites to their “original” form, Aliyev is trying to wipe out the existence of Armenian culture and identity in the region. Already, Azerbaijani forces have defaced or destroyed an estimated 400 Armenian churches and other religious sites since 2020."
"Armenian culture have been closely defined by its Christian faith since it’s introduction in 301 AD, making Armenia the oldest Christian nation. By dishonoring and destroying that history, Azerbaijan is not signaling that it wants a genuine peace with Armenia."
"Evan after absorbing Artsakh, Aliyev now claims large parts of Armenia’s territory as Azerbaijan’s “historical lands,” while calling Armenia “Western Azerbaijan.” This follows a troubling pattern of other speeches expressing similar arguments. Aliyev has even stated that Armenia’s capital, Yerevan, belongs to Azerbaijan. While this kind of rhetoric might be dismissed as just bombastic words, words matter and have consequences."
"Despite this overwhelming evidence of Azerbaijan’s true intentions, President Trump continues to ignore the realities on the ground.
(Its how the False prophet operates.
He isnt ignoring the realities on the ground.
He just doesnt care about them.)
"In many ways, Trump is reneging on his campaign promise to protect Christian Armenians from further persecution and hold Azerbaijan responsible for its actions. He seems more interested in Azerbaijan’s natural resources than he is in the lives of Armenians or regional stability."
($ over lives is amoral.)
"Therefore, any meaningful peace deal between Armenia and Azerbaijan must include the immediate release of all Armenian political prisoners and the unconditional release of all Armenian POWs."
"It must also include the end of Azerbaijan’s religious and cultural mistreatment of Armenian antiquities and holy sites and rebuke all forms of historical revisionism that can be used as a pretext for future attacks on Armenian sovereignty."
"And it needs to enforce the International Court of Justice (ICJ) ruling that ordered Azerbaijan to allow the return of Armenians to Artsakh in a “safe, unimpeded, and expeditious manner.”
"Peace should always be the end goal, but there can be no coexistence and tolerance in the region without accountability.
Can it restock before a major conflict breaks out?
No. No we cant.
We have screwed ourselves.
"What is the Pentagon running low on?
Drones, missiles, ammunition, nearly everything. Weapons shipments have strained U.S. stockpiles, particularly deliveries to Ukraine, which burned through a year's worth of American 155mm artillery in just eight weeks in 2022, and to Israel. This month, the Pentagon paused transfers to Ukraine of Patriot missiles, precision-guided rockets, howitzer rounds, and more while it assessed inventory (though President Trump partly reversed that order). Middle East skirmishes have also eaten up material. In the $1.5 billion campaign to protect Red Sea shipping against Yemen's Houthi rebels, the U.S. fired 125 Tomahawks and 155 standard missiles and had seven Reaper drones shot down. And the Houthis are a ragtag militia compared with the real threat: China. When the Center for New American Security gamed out war with China, the U.S. fired 90% of its anti-ship cruise missiles and 80% of its land-attack weapons in less than a week.We'd better hope the next conflict is short-term, Rep. Tom Cole (R-Okla.) said in May, "because we don't have enough munitions to sustain a long-term fight."
(Hope isnt very much of a strategy there Tom)
"Can't the U.S. replace the weapons?
Not fast enough. The defense budget is about $850 billion a year, but 22% goes to military salaries, and the biggest chunk, 39%, is for operations and maintenance. Only about 17% goes toward weapons procurement. And even if the Pentagon wanted to spend more, the U.S. industrial base has atrophied since the end of the Cold War. At this point, it "may be incapable of meeting the munitions demand created by a potential future fight against a peer adversary," the Army Science Board said in a 2023 report. Defense analyst Mackenzie Eaglen, who co-authored that report, told The Atlantic that it's "a miracle the U.S. military has anything that blows up, ever." While companies are modernizing production, the process requires new equipment and skilled workers and will likely take years to complete. Shipbuilding, too, is lagging: The Navy had some 600 ships in 1987 and 300 now."
Why is shipbuilding lagging?
"The U.S. industry dried up. Thanks to 19th-century laws requiring that any voyage between two U.S. ports be made in a U.S. vessel, American shipbuilding was protected from international competition and lost its competitive edge. The U.S. did ramp up the building of naval and cargo ships during World War II but sold them off after the war and dismantled the shipyards. Because of high costs, red tape, and a loss of subsidies, the U.S. now produces almost no oceangoing commercial ships: just five in 2022, compared with China's 1,794. And the few military ships the U.S. has built tend to be insanely expensive. The Navy spent $22.5 billion to build three Zumwalt-class destroyers, for example, only to cancel the program because the gun on them would be too costly. Restoring U.S. shipbuilding will be a "generational project," said Jake Sullivan, national security adviser under President Joe Biden, since "we don't have the backbone of a healthy commercial shipbuilding base to rest our naval shipbuilding on top of."
"The outlet (The Financial Times) notes that it was unable to identify the specific technologies that Iran was seeking from the Russian facilities, but says that one of the Iranian scientists, Soroush Mohtashami, is an expert on neutron generators — a component that can trigger detonation in some nuclear weapons."
(US and Israel are the ones that wanted a cease fire after we saw their missiles more than lived up to expectations. They still got a ton of em BTW. Iran is going to do everything they can to wipe Israel off the map. They took Mike Tysons barrage in the early rounds and now its a completely different ballgame.)

43 When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none.
44 Then he saith, I will return into my house from whence I came out; and when he is come, he findeth it empty, swept, and garnished.
45 Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation.
