On August 8th (see the Archive list to the right of this column) I stated that the "illegal" flight of the highest level of an Iranian Army general (who had an International War Crimes Warrant out for his arrest, and an international "No Fly" ban on his ability to travel internationally) to visit Russia's top generals in the Kremlin, in Moscow, perhaps indicated that something big was about to happen. Well it's happening now folks, so, "hold on to your hats, folks! We may be in for a bumpy ride!" (I think that was a famous line from an early Mae West "talky". Or am I confusing that with an old Bette Davis line, I can't remember which. I'm sure the context is in no way appropriate (but the caution sure is!).
Today, the news reports are that Israel fired four rockets across the Syrian border of the Golan Heights, near the Israeli/Syrian border, in retaliation for earlier rockets fired from Syria across the border into Israel. This is how it always begins, people (the Muslims fire rockets across the border with Israel and the Israelis retaliate, in measure...then the Muslim armies begin to congregate near the Israeli border, forcing Israel to pre-emptively invade their neighboring country, thereby receiving the international condemnation as the "original aggressor"), but it will not end quite the same way this time, unless I miss my guess. Ezekiel prophecied some 2000-plus years ago, in chapters 38, & 39, that there was a coming war that would be between Israel, and all of their Muslim enemies (by representation, at least), with Russia as the lead ally, when a huge confederation would enter the Middle-East, upon, "the mountains of Israel", with the diabolical intention of wiping the entire population of Israel off the face of the earth! What does it take to get through to these idiots??? How many conventional wars do they have to bitterly lose before they recognize that they are not just fighting against the Israeli Army, but they are fighting against God, Himself!!!
This time, though, I don't think it will be limited to "conventional warfare". There is plenty of evidence that both sides of the I.S.I.S./Syrian Army conflict have been guilty of using chemical weapons against each other. As unlikely as it seems, if some kind of fragile treaty is arranged between the Muslim armies on both sides, by the Russians and Iranians ( I realize how absurd this sounds, since the Sunni Muslims of I.S.I.S., and Syria hate the Shiia Muslims of Iran as much as they hate each other), they would be only too willing to violate "International laws" by using either Sarin Gas, or Mustard Gas on the Israelis, without batting an eye. However, the Israelis have been preparing for such a war for decades, by handing out free gas masks to their population, because they read descriptions in the Ezekiel prophecies that seem to indicate this type of warfare being described with ancient terminology, at a time when this type of warfare did not exist. It is even logical to expect that the Israelis might retaliate with tactical (or, Neutron) nuclear devises, of their own. Since this Muslim/Russian invasion force disregards conventional limitations of weaponry, in resorting to chemical warfare, the Israelis may feel justified in retaliating with other weapons that are "banned" by international "law". (So much for the wisdom of international diplomacy!)
Anyway, as I've written previously (ad nauseum, I know), God will somehow intervene to cause this invasion force to panic, and turn against each other, until it has killed up to nearly 85% of its troops, leaving only enough to tell the world what happened, after their desperate retreat. In Israel, God will get all the glory for saving His chosen people from certain genocidal massacre, but in the rest of the world, Israel will receive brutal condemnation for the horrible "crime" of defending their people from a murderous invasion. America may also receive worldwide condemnation, perhaps because it will be presumed that we (rightly, or wrongly, who knows?) supplied Israel with the technology to produce the Neutron Nuclear devices that started the panic that destroys the invasion force. There is prophecy that indicates (in Ezekiel 39:6, and seemingly agreed with in Revelation chapter six; verse 12) that a fiery war between Magog (thought to be Russia), and a country living peacefully on their "isles", (also translated, "coastlands") (most major American cities are located along either salt water, or fresh water "coastlands"), perhaps in retaliation for our presumed help in the "crime" of helping Israel defend themselves against their "minor misdemeanor offense" of trying to wipe Israel off the face of the earth. This account seems to use descriptive terminology that sounds like a man from 2000 years ago (the apostle John; and the Prophet Ezekiel, something like 2500 years ago) trying to describe a Nuclear conflagration in terms that the people of his day would understand, about technology that wouldn't be invented for 2000 years.
This account is followed by an account in Revelation Chapter 7 that describes an Angelic intervention, perhaps in the "twinkling of an eye", that there should be no destruction on the earth until they've sealed the foreheads of 12,000 "witnesses" from each of the 12 tribes of Israel (10 tribes of which are lost to everyone, but God). One may reason logically that God would have no need of 144,00 witnesses, if He still had His Church on earth (with hundreds of millions of "witnesses"). Therefore, is it logical to expect that this "sealing of the 144,000 'witnesses'" will coincide with some form of "disappearance" of the Lord's worldwide Church (the "Rapture" of the entire body of Christian believers, simultaneously, after the Nuclear missiles have been launched, but before they can detonate???) I wouldn't be surprised if it's so!!!
Just something for you all to contemplate, as you continue to, "...look up. For your redemption draweth nigh!"
