Prophecy Update: Sept.7, 2018
As I track the moves of China and Russia, I see that a major war is brewing between the USA and her allies and China, Russia and their allies. I am tracking these developments because the Bible tells us that after Anti-Christ signs the peace deal with Israel, Revelation says there will be a world war. The four horsemen of the apocalypse will ride and one of the horses has Anti-Christ riding the horse to take control of the earth. The white horse has a rider going out to conquer, the red horse brings war for men to kill each other and the ashen horse rides as death and one fourth of the earth is killed.
America is in danger from other nations as we have never been in the past. Having two oceans protecting us and weak neighbors militarily, we have always felt safe. Not anymore! I usually track the specific prophecies regarding Israel and the wars that they are facing biblically. The question has always bothered and fascinated me about where is America in prophecy. Is God going to remove America from the power players on the earth? If He is then I think these developments will be a part of that judgment.
The Russians have started war games and have been moving tanks and arms in place that give evidence that Russia is preparing for war. There are now 25 warships in the Mediterranean Sea and 1000 tanks have been moved to the western edge of Russia. To say that Ukraine, Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia are nervous is an understatement.
Debka file reported this weekend: “Taking part in Russia’s 8-day sea-air exercise that was launched in the eastern Mediterranean on Saturday are 26 warships and 30 aircraft. Commanded by Russian Navy chief Adm. Vladimir Korolov, the drills range over a section of water between the Syrian coast and Cyprus. The cruise missile carrier, the Marshal Ustinov cruiser, is the flag ship. The air force contingent taking part in the exercise includes Tu-160 strategic bombers, Tu-142 and Il-38 anti-submarine warfare planes and Su-33 and Su-30SM fighter-bombers.”
Russia’s Multinational Military Exercise Last Week Was A Dry Run For Bigger War Games. NPR is reporting: The exercise on the remote Chebarkul tank range was a dry run for even bigger Russian war games with China, starting next week. Moscow is billing the upcoming Vostok-2018, or East-2018, exercises in eastern Russia as the most massive in almost four decades. “Russia’s entire Central Military District, with all its personnel, will directly take part in the upcoming military maneuvers,” said Lt. Gen. Alexander Lapin as a helicopter clattered overhead. “We will proudly take part in these exercises — unprecedented in their size — and apply new methods for the current circumstances.” “Peace Mission 2018” was held under the auspices of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, a loose grouping of Eurasian nations. The 3,000 troops who participated came from seven member countries, with regional rivals India and Pakistan taking part in a joint military exercise for the first time ever.
This coalition of armies from the Shanghai Cooperation Organization is preparing for war with the United States. These countries would like to get rid of the dollar and the US for good. “The SCO’s eight members now account for about half of the world’s population, a quarter of the world’s GDP, and about 80 percent of the Eurasian landmass. Two of the SCO members are permanent members of the UN Security Council (Russia and China), and four are nuclear states (Russia, China, India, and Pakistan). Three of the SCO members are part of the BRICS grouping (Russia, China, and India). All of this grants considerable perceived political value to the SCO.” As the West is in crises, turning her back on the Judeo/Christian worldview, persecuting Jews and Christians, the East is rising.
These forces are partly responsible for what happened today: 9/4: Russia resumed air strikes on rebel-held Idlib on Tuesday, after a 22-day pause, the London-based observatory reported. Earlier, President Donald Trump warned Bashar Assad and his Russian and Iranian allies against “recklessly attacking” the last rebel-held province of Syria. “The Russians and Iranians would be making a grave humanitarian mistake to take part in this potential human tragedy,” he tweeted. “Hundreds of thousands of people could be killed.” But Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov rejected the warning and said the Syrian army was “getting ready” to clear a “nest of terrorists” there.
Russia has been practicing at war in Syria and Ukraine for many years and America has been blind to the developing capabilities and alliance made with China. The current large scale war games are being done with Chinese soldiers. Yale professor Paul Bracken has spoken about this blind spot in American diplomacy. He said that Russia is trying to disrupt any notion that America is leading the world with any kind of coalition of countries that support her. China is clearly following a plan to attack and hinder America. Both of these countries for the last ten years have attacked America thru cyber warfare without the country saying anything publicly. China and Russia are opposing USA power by disrupting NATO, and splitting any alliances that we have. China has two economic reasons to oppose America, the South China sea and the One Belt Initiative which is their economic strategy uniting Asia and Europe.
In the last year, Putin of Russia threatened to nuke America. He put up a video of Florida being nuked. In an interview with Megyn Kelly several months ago, Putin said that Russia’s nuclear weapons are battle ready. How seriously should America take this threat? Putin said, “Russia was and remains a big nuclear state but no, no one wanted to speak with us constructively, no one has listened to us, but you will listen now. Sarmat is a very powerful mighty weapon due to its characteristics. No anti-ballistic missile systems could be used to stop it.”
The United Nations Security council met on 9/6 to talk about the battle over Idlib. As the US has warned Russia about killing all of those people, Russia has basically told the Americans to butt out of it. The confrontation has been further complicated by America claiming that the Syrians and Russians are going to use chemical weapons in this fight. The BBC reported this morning that: “Syria war: US ‘has seen evidence’ chemical weapons being prepared. The new US envoy for Syria has said there is “lots of evidence” that Syrian government forces are preparing to use chemical weapons in Idlib. Jim Jeffrey said an anticipated offensive against the last major rebel-held area would be a “reckless escalation”, Reuters reported.” America is controlling the eastern part of Syria over the Euphrates River, Russia wants the spoils of war and Idlib is the last holdout. If America intervenes because of chemical warfare, the war will get much bigger. Syria and Russia are telling people that it is the US led people who are using chemical weapons. Russia is flexing its muscles and they are preparing for a bigger war. As the Ruble falls and the economy dies in Russia, war is the answer.
TEHRAN, Iran (AFP) — “The presidents of Iran, Russia and Turkey were due to meet Friday in Tehran for talks on the future of Idlib province amid growing fears of a humanitarian disaster in Syria’s last major rebel bastion.” These three countries are experiencing the failure of their currencies because of American sanctions. Russia and China are ditching the dollar and as they do this, globally we will see more and more instability. Most people are unaware of the dangers this poses for America. How will America enforce the use of the dollar across the world?
Add to this explosive mix the desires of the Communist Chinese. With absolute control over their people comes absolute efficiency. China is controlling the South China Sea so they can control the economies of the region, bribe those who move cargo thru the sea, and stay in power. 18% of our exports go to China and now Trump has thrown down the gauntlet, raising tariffs to raise money and right some wrongs economically. Whenever a rising power threatens an established power, war is inevitable. This is a rule of history. That is why I say that war is inevitable with China. What is worse, China and Russia are now allies against the USA. China is ruled by an absolutist dictator who added his name to the constitution and made all 88 million communist party members copy the constitution by hand! Xi Jingping is worse than Mao, and Mao was a murdering evil man. He has effectively gained control of the South China Sea from America.
I read a military analysis of WW2 and the paper concluded that whoever controlled the Pacific theatre could potentially control the world. China has dominated her neighbors and few if any have objected to this takeover! The One Belt policy connects China to 68 countries and is their largest investment into their economy. It joins the One child policy and the One China policy. China throws money into this endeavor, they give the money and ask nothing about human rights. They do not care about human rights, only China rights and communist rights. Taiwan, Philippines, Malaysia, and Vietnam beg to differ with China on control of the South China Sea, but what can they do? None of these countries are strong enough to fight China. That is where the USA enters—Britain also has entered this fray and China threatened them today with economic war. BEIJING/SHANGHAI (Reuters) – “China on Friday warned Britain ties were at risk unless it took steps to “rectify” the situation, after a British warship sailed close to South China Sea islands claimed by China, while a major newspaper said sealing a free trade deal could now be harder.”
These tensions are setting up a big war that can only culminate in the war described in Revelation with the four horseman of the apocalypse. Time is short, this weekend is the feast of Trumpets, pray that God will preserve us. Pray that Jesus will come for His church! Maranatha.
