Prophecy Update:
The tension with the Russians has been heightened in the last two weeks. Some say that we are facing a war with Russia. I went back a few months to see what the magazines were saying about the relationship between the USA and Russia and it is not good.
In the Oct. 14th edition of “The Week” they had an article about US diplomats being harassed by the Russians. Two diplomats were given the date rape drug and had to be hospitalized. Threatening behavior included rearranging their furniture in their apartments, trailing them and sending disparaging messages. Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said, “The more the US damages relations the harder it will be for the US diplomats to work in Russia.”
In the Oct.24th edition of the “Weekly Standard” had an article called, ‘Nuclear Trash Talk.’ In the article they catalogued the difficulty of dealing with Russia and how our Secretary of State complained of Russian activity and those pushing for a response. He said, “What do you want me to do, start a war with Russia?” The article asks, ‘Are we pushing Russia into an escalatory dynamic that could result in a nuclear exchange?’
The reason the Americans have not established a no fly zone over Syria is because it will be war with Russia. The Americans have become weak and afraid of war with Russia. “Since the takeover of Crimea, Russian leaders have made thinly veiled and occasionally explicit nuclear threats.” Putin uses these threats because he knows how weak America has become. Putin cannot win a conventional war so nukes are used as a threat. A limited use of nukes on NATO would make the West back down and Russia could use this as a bargaining chip. The West has made a big deal about being against nuclear weapons and President Obama has promised to shrink our nuclear capability. At the same time, Russia has increased the amount of their nukes and they have upgraded to more powerful nukes. As Russia deploys next generation nukes with a promise to use them, President Obama promises to never use nukes in a first strike. I bet Russia is happy to know that!
At the G-20 Summit in China in September, Russia and China made a big deal about the treatment of President Obama and the American delegation. Everyone was given red carpet treatment and Pres. Obama was made to deplane from the back of Air Force One. A shouting match ensued as members of the entourage were yelled at by the Chinese. This racist, anti-American behavior was tolerated by the President and his people. It is a disgrace to Americans.
Nothing was accomplished at the G-20 summit. Perhaps the only significant thing to come out was a meeting between Putin and Obama that lasted 90 minutes. Would have loved to be a fly on the wall! Barack Obama and Vladimir Putin held what the US president described as a “candid, blunt and businesslike” meeting on the sidelines of the G20 summit in Hangzhou, China, on Monday.
Photographs suggested that the exchange between two of the most powerful men in the world had been frosty, and Mr. Obama said afterwards that “gaps of trust” between the rival powers had hindered negotiations. Mr. Obama also expressed concerns to Mr. Putin about cybersecurity issues. He urged Mr. Putin not to let cyberspace become the “wild, wild west” and issued a stark warning that America had “more capacity than anybody, both offensively and defensively”. Obama blames the Russians for the failure of Clinton winning the presidential race, now Obama talks tougher to Russia and threatens retaliation.
The United States has finally retaliated against Russia by sending out diplomats from the nation. It has the feel of the cold war, when the Soviets and Americans did the tit for tat sending home diplomats. Russia decided though that they would not retaliate. They are waiting for the Trump administration because they believe that the truth will prevail and show that the cyber security breaches did not come from Russia but from Wikileaks. Julian Assange has said that Russia had nothing to do with it. This problem with Russia is making problems for Donald Trump. The Hill reported, WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange says there’s an “obvious” reason the Obama administration has focused on Russia’s alleged role in Democratic hacks leading up to Donald Trump’s election. “They’re trying to delegitimize the Trump administration as it goes into the White House.” Please understand that CNN giving the debate questions to Hillary Clinton before the debate was interfering in the election. The John Podesta emails and the Democratic Party emails which exposed cheating and lying also interfered in the election. But what if Russia did in fact interfere with our election? Maybe, God was doing this to Clinton because she did the exact thing to Israel last year. She and Obama tried to interfere in the Israeli election and they got back what they did to Israel. That sounds familiar! As you do it to Israel, it will be done to you!
Wars and rumors of wars are swirling at the start of the New Year. Pray for revival and that God will protect America from idolatry and immorality. Remember Romans 8:28
The problem that we face is more spiritual than political. Those who wish to destroy a Godly view of life have attacked America for the last 8 years and those who wish to bring it back are now freed by the election of Donald Trump.
What will you do with your opportunity? Will you pray and lead your family to repent for the nation, to disavow the sins that have brought on the current crises? Will you pray for the destruction of Roe v. Wade, the most horrific of Supreme court decisions?
