Russia’s Recent Military Claims Over The Arctic & North Pole

Many of you might (or might not) be aware that Russia is now claiming ownership over the Arctic and the North Pole.

This claim is to secure the vast oil and gas reserves under that area.

To back up their claim, Russia has been pouring military forces and weapons into the area over the past couple of years, and have now warned all of the nations who border the Arctic to stay away. They have also announced plans of denying Arctic access to our (America’s) naval and submarine forces.

The timing of Russia’s military claim over the North Pole gets even more interesting when you consider Russia’s close military alliance with Iran.

Now, consider these two seemingly separate events in light of some specific details which God has provided for us concerning the upcoming (and prophetic) Russia, Iran, Turkey, and allies attack and invasion against nation Israel.

From a Bible Prophecy perspective, this coming war will mark the “Point of No Return” along the World’s march towards the Apocalypse and Armageddon.

Now, take a moment to consider Russia’s military claim and active occupation of the Arctic and the North pole and compare it to God’s prophetic description of the nation which will act as the lead aggressor against Israel in this terrible and upcoming prophetic war described in Ezekiel 38 & 39.

FROM THE “UTTER PARTS OF THE NORTH”…

“Therefore, son of man, prophesy, and say to Gog,
Thus says the Lord God:
On that Day when My people Israel are dwelling securely, will you not know it?
You will come from your place
OUT OF THE UTTERMOST PARTS OF THE NORTH,
you and many peoples with you,
all of them riding on horses,
a great host, a mighty army.
You will come up against My people Israel, (not a good idea)
like a cloud covering the Land.
In the latter days (A prophecy far in the future from Ezekiel’s time …)
I will bring you against My Land, (God tells us Israel is His Land which He gave to Israel)
that the nations may know Me,
when through you, O Gog,
I vindicate My Holiness before their eyes.” (When God Himself will intervene)
(Ezekiel 38:14-16)

“Thus says the Lord GOD:
Behold, I am against you, O Gog,
chief prince of Meshech and Tubal.
And I will turn you about and drive you forward,
and bring you up from
THE UTTERMOST PARTS OF THE NORTH,
and lead you against the mountains of Israel.”
(Ezekiel 39:1)

Check a Map: Russia, Moscow, the Arctic, and the North Pole (which Russia now claims) ARE the “Utter parts of the North” from Jerusalem!

One other thing to consider is the fact that a number of Bible scholars believe (for technical and linguistic reasons) another major prophetic event, the coming Rapture, may have to take place sometime BEFORE God intervenes for Israel to destroy this invading army.

What we are now seeing with Russia and Iran pouring troops, missiles, and weapons into Syria and along Israel’s borders has never yet happened before in history.

So, what we are now seeing is either some type of prophetic “dress rehearsal” to get the world’s attention, or it is the beginning of the real thing, even though the build-up and brinksmanship between Israel and her enemies could go on for days, weeks, months or even years.

But, another critical and important piece to this terrible prophetic puzzle is that sometime before this coming war takes place between Russia-Iran and Israel, the United States must be “neutralized,” and will be unable or unwilling to help defend Israel.

For the Bible warns that Israel will have to stand alone … with God!!!

And finally, as noted earlier, this war will trigger the IRREVERSIBLE events which will draw the World down into the terrors of the Apocalypse and Armageddon.

Given all of this, it is probably a good time to “examine our faith” to insure that we may be found “Worthy to escape all these thing which WILL come to pass.” (Luke 21:36)

America Will Be “Neutralized”

Our Founding Fathers Praying For Guidance

 

First Published: 6/6/2018

 

As the world watches the war-planners from deep within Russia and Iran (along with Turkey and allies) strategically placing troops and advanced weapons of war into Syria, Lebanon, and Gaza along Israel’s borders, it is probably a good (and reasonable) time to start studying and taking all the prophecies found in the Bible seriously.

The Bible warns by the time the coming prophetic War between Russia, Iran, and allies does fully break out against Israel (Ezekiel 38-39), the United States of America will be “neutralized.”

For the Bible tells us Israel must stand alone … with GOD!!!

At that time, for reasons yet unknown, the United States will be unable or unwilling to help defend Israel. Whether this change will come upon America slowly or suddenly, from within or without, Politically, Economically, Militarily, or any combination of these, we do not know.

Today, Israel has a great friend and ally in the Trump-Pence Administration. Yet, the enemies of Israel (Russia-Iran-Democrat Party) are powerfully planning and coordinating efforts to destroy the Trump-Pence Administration (and Netanyahu).

Interestingly, we find in God’s detailed and prophetic description of the Generation of Armageddon He not only warns the generation will be marked by its “Violence” and “Corrupt” Immorality, but God also tells us the generation will be characterized and identified by “Traitors” and “Deceivers.”

We also cannot dismiss the possibility of another power behind the “neutralizing” of America as a global restraining force. 

Many forget the US Constitution and Bill of Rights were also written to protect American citizens from the Roman Papal (Jesuit) rulership that had decimated Protestant Christians living in the Roman Church controlled states in Europe (and South America).  Millions upon millions of Protestants (and other non-Catholics) were slaughtered by the Jesuits under the inhuman atrocities of the “Inquisitions” and “Counter-Reformation.”  The Roman Popes have never removed those laws they used to justify and enforce their terrible inquisitions.

Concerning the United States, from the very beginning the Roman Church and the Jesuits (behind their feigned friendship with many of our leaders) have been sworn enemies of America because of the liberty and freedoms provided through the (Protestant-based) American Republic and its Constitutional Rule of Law which was designed to protect the citizens of the United States from the ruthless and bloody governing methods used against those people living in bondage under the dictatorial, iron-fisted Rule of Rome in Europe.  The Church of Rome could not (and cannot) allow a “Protestant” nation to ever prosper, especially one that became a beacon of liberty and freedom.

(As a note, the term “Protestant” was given to those Christian men, women, and children who were arrested, imprisoned, tortured, and violently put to death for their opposition and “protesting” against the Roman Church (and Popes) for adding, teaching, and enforcing unbiblical doctrines and rules that were/are not found in the Bible.  At that time, the Popes and Roman Catholic church also ruled it was illegal and punishable by death for a “common” person to even own a Bible for personal study).

However, even though Roman Catholics only comprise around 22% of the U.S. population, the U.S. Supreme Court and Congress (Pelosi) are now both controlled by Roman Catholics, and If Biden wins the Presidency, then our Judicial, Legislative, and Executive Branches will ALL be under the Roman church-mandated authority of the Pope (and the Jesuit “General”), who are both avowed Socialists who view the United States of America as the last obstacle standing against Roman control over all the Americas (Canada’s new Prime Minister Trudeau also comes from a staunch Roman Church background).  

It should also be noted the Roman Church has close ties to Islam (and with most Socialist dictators), but, historically has shown enmity toward the Jews and the nation Israel.

Whether it happens in one day or a million days, or sometime in between, when you see the United States of America “neutralized,” quickly flee back to God and His Word (and away from your sins), for the World’s (and Israel’s) path to Armageddon will then be IRREVERSIBLE.

For Israel and the World will first witness God’s utter (and gruesome) destruction of the Russia-Iran-Turkey led coalition forces that will attack and invade Israel.  This coming devastating war will leave a global power vacuum which we are told in Bible Prophecy will be quickly filled by a confederation of 10 nations (weak mixed with strong) from the ancient Roman Empire.

Soon afterwards, the world will then see the meteoric rise of a ‘man of peace,’ a powerful world leader (whom the Bible warns will be a great deceiver empowered by Satan), who will first rise over these nations of the ancient Roman Empire, and who will then enforce a Peace Plan (‘covenant’) upon nation Israel, which we are warned will mark the exact beginning of the terrible 7-Year Apocalypse (which will utterly consume and destroy the whole World).

Yet, those who will decide to take the Bible (and all of its prophetic warnings) seriously beforehand will be relieved (and happy) to learn that God has prepared a miraculous ESCAPE for all those living on Earth at that time.  This “escape” will include all who will be found enduring in a sincere and unshakable faith in God’s Word (Jesus Christ … Yeshua Ha’Mashiach in Hebrew) and in His promises.

This loving path of escape is sometimes called “The Rapture”… and our “Blessed Hope.”

“WATCH therefore,
and pray ALWAYS
that you may be
counted worthy to ESCAPE
all these things
that WILL come to pass.”
(Luke 21:36)  (It’s through sincere faith in His worthiness, not ours)

Iran & North Korea … The Russia-China War Strategy

RUSSIA and CHINA control Iran and North Korea’s every move. North Korea’s first “Great Leader” was a RUSSIAN OFFICER in the Russian Army during WWII. He was later selected, moved, and placed into power over North Korea by RUSSIA.

For Russia, WWII never ended and will not end until they have defeated the US and the West, including Israel.

A high-ranking Russian KGB officer named Anatoliy Golitsyn defected to the West in the early 1960’s. He warned (and even published in a book “New Lies For Old” back in 1984) that the long-term Russian (and Chinese) war plan would include the “fall” of the Berlin Wall. He warned members of Congress and the CIA well before his book was published in 1984 that the Russia (and China) long-term war strategy which might include the fall of the Berlin Wall had already been planned by Russia as a false victory for America and the West. (As a note, Russia’s national game is Chess, and this strategy would be their opening “Gambit” to initiate World War 3).

Golitsyn warned Germany along with most of western Europe would be drawn into a European “Nationalism” which would embrace Socialism and would begin to reject America while shifting alliances more toward a “European” Russia, and thus falling into Russia’s deadly trap. Study the rise of the European Union after the Berlin Wall came down.

He warned (and later wrote in 1984) that Russia and China had created a false enmity between themselves (which lasted from the 1960’s – 1990’s) which was purposely designed to dupe America and the West into providing China with massive amounts of capital, advanced technology, and intellectual property in order to try and “Westernize” and “Democratize” China and draw it away from Russian Communism-Socialism. He said they called this the “Scissors” Phase of their long-term war plan.

He went on to warn that when Russia and China would one day publicly announce a “new” alliance (which happened in 1998 with their “Multi-polar World” pronouncement) then the Russia and China war plan would be entering into its final “Clenched Fist” phase. During this phase, the Russia-China war planners projected their patient and secret war against America and the West had progressed to the point where the US and the West had been penetrated and weakened enough for Russia and China to engage and defeat their enemy more openly and militarily.

Now, take a moment and consider all of the Russia Soviet propaganda (through Hollywood and the World) since the 1960’s that has powerfully and effectively painted such an “evil” picture of America, and then simply consider the facts and history. For many years now America has acted as a “restrainer” around the globe against Russia and Chinese expansion (though not THE Restrainer of 2 Thessalonians 2:7-9 which is referring to the Holy Spirit).

Russia and China are now carefully monitoring our weaknesses after the 8 years of Obama-Clinton-Kerry dismantling our Military and Economy, and now appear to be preparing a “kill.” China military doctrine describes it as the “Assassin’s Mace” (meaning the enemy never sees it coming). And as Russia and China come together in the “Clenched Fist” Phase of their war plan they see a world that has been lulled into a false security and will offer little resistance without America. Russia is now lustfully looking at Europe, Ukraine, Georgia, the Arctic, Scandinavia, Alaska, and Canada … while China is lustfully looking at Taiwan, Japan, Korea, Philippines, Australia, and New Zealand … while they both are dividing Latin America … and of course … the oil-rich and militarily strategic Middle-East.

They have taken 70 years to study and learn the lessons of WWII.

Out of over 100 Russian strategic war operations disclosed and forecasted by high-ranking KGB officer Anatoliy Golitsyn (before 1984) around 94% of them have now been successfully implemented by Russia and China.

However, as we can see from Bible Prophecy, God also has a Plan which appears to be nearing ITS “Final Phase” which will “pre-empt” Russia and China’s final victory and global “checkmate.” For we are told they will one-day be diverted toward (and drawn into) the Middle-East and against that Land which God calls His own … ISRAEL!

Another Ancient (But Timely) Prophecy of Syria?

The ancient book called The Apocalypse of Ezra or 2 Esdras (Ezra) includes some very interesting and specific (and possibly timely) prophecies concerning Syria, Russia, and Iran in the last days, or the end times.

The Apocalypse of Ezra, which is also sometimes called the Jewish Apocalypse of Ezra, is said to have been written by the same author who wrote the book of Ezra found in the Bible which historically documents the time around the end of the Jewish 70 Year captivity in Babylon and the rebuilding of the Second Jewish Temple in Jerusalem.

The Apocalypse of Ezra contains many fascinating prophecies including a sweeping prophecy concerning the past, present, and future role and identity of the ancient Roman Empire, as prophesied by the prophet Daniel in his “Fourth Beast” prophecy.

However, we are going to focus on the future “end time” prophecies which appear to speak of Syria, Russia, Iran, and Arabia, which may now be in the process of being fulfilled.

As a note, I was not even aware of these remarkable prophecies until just recently when I first heard of, and then read, Dr. Ken Johnson’s book Ancient Apocalypse of Ezra: Called 2 Esdras in the KJV 1611 which is a detailed commentary written from a Christian perspective.

For our short study here, we will simply squeeze in a short prophetic summary of the prophecies with a few bullet points and excerpts from Ken Johnson’s book. To obtain his fascinating prophetic book studying Ezra’s prophecies, go to BibleFacts.org or to Amazon.com and look for Dr. Ken Johnson’s book, Ancient Apocalypse of Ezra: Called 2 Esdras in the KJV 1611.

From his book and his site …

“The Ezra Apocalypse is the only non-Catholic book included in the KJV 1611 Apocrypha. It contains many prophecies about the end times. Quoted often by the church fathers of the first and second century AD, this apocalypse reveals the rise of Islam. In chapters 11-12 there is a prophecy of a three-headed eagle symbolizing how the Roman Empire would split into three empires. The empires would die out and leave three kingdoms ruling in the last days. Chapters 15-16 contain a prophecy of the Dragon Nations of Arabia. This Islamic power devastates Syria to the point that Russia must step in to control the issue. This Syrian war sets the stage for the beginning of the Last Days. The book also contains numerous prophecies about the signs of the birth pangs and details about the Rapture of the church, revealing that the end is near. Brought to you by Bible Facts Ministries, biblefacts.org.”

Dragon Nations of Arabia

“This prophecy (quoted by church fathers Hippolytus and Ephrem the Syrian) teaches that a terrible religious system (Islam) rises from the Arabian desert. This system is called the “Dragon Nations of Arabia.” Toward the beginning of the end times, the Dragon Nations will seek to invade and destroy the land of Syria. They will lose control of their armies, which will morph into a horrible creation destroying all in its path. Right before Syria would be totally devastated a powerful large nation from the North (Russia) enters the war.

“This sounds like the Syrian war that is occurring right now. Whether this is the actual war or a precursor to a great one, one thing we know for sure, Islam is a major player in end time prophecy and the apostasy.

“In the last ten years, we have witnessed the rise of ISIS from the Dragon Nations, along with the devastation of Syria and the beginning of Russia’s involvement.”

Iran Joins This Battle in Syria

“Behold a horrible vision
that appears in the east
from where the Dragon Nations of Arabia
will come with many chariots,
and the multitude of them will be carried
as the wind upon the Earth.
All who hear them will fear and tremble (ISIS).
Also the Iranians (“the Carmanians”),
raging and wrathful,
will attack as wild woodland boars,
and with great power
will come and join in battle
with the Dragon Nations.
They will lay waste to
a portion of the land of Assyria (Syria)”
(Apocalypse of Ezra 15:28-30)

Russia and Allies Join This Battle

“Behold clouds from the east and from the North (Russia)
will come unto the south,
and they are very horrible to look upon,
full of wrath and storm.”
(Apocalypse of Ezra 15:28-30)

Note: Russia has launched devastating air strikes from Russian airfields which are located east and north of Syria, as well as from Iran to the east of Syria.

This war in Syria with Russia and Iran may grow …
If so, people on Earth will be afraid and tremble

“There will be great fearfulness
and trembling upon Earth,
and they who see the wrath
will be afraid, and tremble.”
(Apocalypse of Ezra 15:28-30)

Where Are We Now?

What have we already seen the following concerning Syria in the news over the past few years …

· Saudi Arabia and Jordanian backed Islamic (Sunni) forces join to fight against Assad in Syria

· An enigmatic ISIS Islamic (Sunni) army rises ferociously to conquer, slaughter, and destroy all in its path through Assyria (northern Iraq) and Syria

· Islamic factions within Syria start fighting each other, tearing the nation of Syria apart

· Russia and Iran (Shiite Islam) swoop in to save Assad’s Syria with a massive influx of men and arms

· The Assyrians (Kurds – Ancient Medes) declare their own state in Syria, Iraq, and Turkey

(Note: Ezra’s prophecy also warns Turkey and Iraq (Babylon) will be caught up in this terrible and prophetic war.)
· Russia and Iran start pouring their forces and advanced weaponry in to save Syria.

· Iranian (Hizbullah) forces in Lebanon join the war in Syria (Lebanon is also mentioned in Ezra’s prophecy)

ALL these events appear to be prophesied in the ancient Apocalypse of Ezra.

What happens next?

We don’t know for sure.

But, IF this is the war prophesied by Ezra, it will eventually (and irreversibly) lead the world into the Ezekiel 38-39 invasion of Israel by Russia and Iran, which will in turn trigger irreversible events which will lead the world into the Apocalypse and Armageddon.

What we are now seeing may just be a precursor or dress rehearsal for the real thing. We will have to wait and see.

More about the Apocalypse of Ezra (2 Esdras) from Ken Johnson …

“The KJV 1611 Bible was produced by the Anglican Church under the order of King James 1. It contains the Old and New Testaments, totaling sixty-six books. These are the same ones we have in most modern Bibles today. Every major group of Christians (Catholic, Protestant, and Eastern Orthodox) accept these sixty-six books as the inspired Word of God. Between the Old Testament and the New Testament was a section of disputed books. This middle section, called the Apocrypha, contains the books accepted by the Roman Catholics, but disputed by the Anglicans. However, few know that there is one book in the King James Apocrypha that was accepted by the Anglican Church, but disputed by the Roman Catholic Church.

“The Apocalypse of Ezra is called 2 Esdras in the KJV 1611 Bible. The book has a series of visions about theology and the end times written by Ezra …

“We must always judge every extra-biblical text claiming to teach theology or prophecy by the sixty-six books of the Bible. Even if this work is legitimate and contains real prophecy, it still may have been mistranslated either deliberately or by mistake.”

(Dr. Ken Johnson Ancient Apocalypse of Ezra: Called 2 Esdras in the KJV 1611 pp. 6,9 – Kindle version)

Netanyahu Should Be Cautious …

If the report concerning Netanyahu travelling to Russia this week is true, let’s hope he will be cautious.

BEWARE!! For the last time Putin invited the Leader of a nation he was not pleased with (the leader of Poland), he arranged for an accidental plane crash which “decapitated” that nation.

The Kremlin is a poisonous spider web of danger and deceit … it is a serpent’s nest filled with a brood of vipers.

Netanyahu should stay at home.

From a recent post on Debkafile (Israel):

On 10 April 2010, a Tupolev Tu-154 aircraft of the Polish Air Force crashed near the city of Smolensk, Russia, killing all 96 people on board. Among the victims were:

– the President of Poland Lech Kaczyński and his wife Maria,
– the former President of Poland in exile Ryszard Kaczorowski,
– the chief of the Polish General Staff
– other senior Polish military officers,
– the president of the National Bank of Poland,
– Polish Government officials,
– 18 members of the Polish Parliament,
– senior members of the Polish clergy
– relatives of victims of the Katyn massacre.

If you search our 2002-2017 News Archives for reports on that event you will find Russia gloated over a photograph that appeared to show the Polish aircraft “decapitated.”

The Time Draws Near … Russia & Iran War Against Israel

The Bible warns Iran (Persia), with Russia (‘Magog’), and a coalition of allies (including Turkey and Sudan) will attack and will invade Israel. In Ezekiel 38-39 the Bible warns this coming war between Iran (Persia) and Israel will take place sometime after Israel has been re-gathered into Her land as a nation (which was fulfilled on May 14, 1948).

This prophetic war has never yet taken place. The only time in history Persia (Iran) has ever gone to war against Israel was to help Israel throw off the yoke of the Byzantine Empire around 614 AD.

The Bible warns the US will NOT defend Israel.

According to the Bible, Israel must stand alone … with God. For when this coming war does finally start, the United States (for reasons yet unknown) will be unable or unwilling to help Israel defend herself. Although the Bible warns the invading armies will be ultimately destroyed by God, it will be a devastating war for both Israel and the whole world.

Bible scholars are divided as to whether this coming war is part of the prophetic battle of Armageddon or will just precede the battle of Armageddon in order to prepare the path for the coming Antichrist (a coming ‘world leader’ who will enforce a ‘peace plan’ upon Israel).

All people of the world should be sitting on the edge of their seats with white knuckles watching this terrible prophecy slowly start to unfold …

Germany and Angela Merkel

GERMAN CHANCELLOR Angela Merkel served as Secretary of the Agitation and Propaganda Department of the Young Communists at Marx-Lenin University in East Berlin after growing up and prospering in East Germany under Soviet education and indoctrination … and Russia’s Vladimir Putin was once the powerful KGB Commander of East German operations (while he lived there) and he still speaks fluent German.

The question is who actually won the Cold-War?

For at least four decades the global Marxist-Socialist slogan has been “USE Democracy to DESTROY Democracy.” Gorbachev tore down the Berlin Wall … then a generation of Russian-Marxist educated (indoctrinated) East Germans flooded the West German voter rolls.  Pro-US German parties and politicians were quickly defeated, and Germany (our once strong ally) swiftly turned toward Russia and away from the U.S. on all major global issues.

Encyclopedias will tell you Germany’s ancient (and Biblical) name was “Gomer.”

IN BIBLE PROPHECY we find “Gomer” listed as one of the nations who will join the Russia-Iran led attack and invasion against Israel in Ezekiel 38.

The ancient Roman-Jewish historian Josephus tells us Gomer was where those people the Romans and Jews called “Galatians” originally came from.

From history we find an army from ancient Gomer left their homeland around Germany and France (Gomer/Gaul), and after some conquests (and then defeats) they were brought over to the highlands of central Anatolia (now part of modern day Turkey) as mercenaries around 300 BC (which is about 280 years after Ezekiel’s prophecy was written).  There, the Gomerites formed their own colony in an area the Jews and Romans called Galatia (which means “Gaul of the East”) in what is now part of modern day Turkey, where they lived (and thrived) until the days of the Apostle Paul.

Even Wikipedia notes that Josephus placed Gomer and the “Gomerites” in Anatolian Galatia: “For Gomer founded those whom the Greeks now call Galatians, but were then called Gomerites.” (Antiquities of the Jews 1:6).

The Apostle Paul wrote his letter to the Galatians around 55 AD.

In the Bible we find Gomer is also mentioned in the Book of Hosea as name of the prophet Hosea’s wife. In Hosea 1:2 she is variously described as a “promiscuous woman” (NIV), a “harlot” (NASB), and a “whore” (KJV), but Hosea is told to marry her according to God’s prophetic instruction and design.

Turkey Turning Against Israel

MANY PEOPLE will simply yawn and ignore these Bible prophecies and these headlines.

Yet, GOD does not fulfill His prophecies or prophetic warnings in secret, but so all the World can see! 

Up until very recently, Turkey was Israel’s strongest ally in the area.  Their air forces held joint training exercises in Turkey.

For many years a number of Bible prophecy teachers and scholars have been warning the one piece of the puzzle missing for the Ezekiel 38 prophecy fulfillment was for TURKEY (a NATO ally-nation) to turn toward Russia and Iran and against Israel (as this prophecy predicts.)

The world has waited over 2,500 years to see the headlines we are now seeing.  This prophetic war between Russia-Iran-Turkey and Israel has never yet taken place … and it is very much a part of the coming “Apocalypse” and Armageddon scenario.

God has been warning and preparing this generation for this coming war led by Iran-Russia for well over 20 years … and the headlines concerning this coming war can now be found almost daily all around the world.
