Prophecy Update: Spokes of the wheel: Wars and rumors of wars!
Prophecy is like the spokes of the wheel and the hub is Israel. Some of the spokes include apostasy, world government, world economy, mark of the beast technology, revived Roman Empire, Wars and rumors of wars, and false Christ’s just to name a few. Today I am going to focus on the wars and rumors of war because Russia and China are making very provocative moves towards war.
“You will be hearing of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not frightened, for those things must take place, but that is not yet the end. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and in various places there will be famines and earthquakes.” Matthew 24:6-7
Russia: The Bear
Seven years ago, Russia invaded Crimea and the world did nothing to stop it. Prior to that, Russia invaded Georgia (2008) and the world did nothing. With 25,000 troops poised on the border of Ukraine Russia has put the fear of war in the hearts of Europe. Some are calling this the Russian “Anschluss” repeating what Hitler did to Austria. Ukrainian President, Volodymyr Zelenskiy gave Putin one year to stop funding war in Ukraine, March 2020. At the end of the year, the deal was over and Ukraine was ready to fight.
“Ukraine president: Putin has one year to strike deal to end war. Ukrainian President Zelenskyy has refused to budge on the fundamentals of Ukrainian sovereignty in the occupied east, and has resisted Russian attempts to distance itself from the conflict. In recent months, Zelenskyy has also infuriated Moscow by targeting the Kremlin’s allies in Ukraine, including Putin’s personal friend and close ally, Viktor Medvedchuk. Russia has sparked alarm in Ukraine and throughout the international community in recent days by massing its armed forces close to the Ukrainian border. The military build-up has raised fears of a possible Russian offensive that could push beyond the areas of eastern Ukraine currently under Kremlin control and lead to a dramatic escalation in the simmering seven-year conflict between the two countries. A large-scale invasion by conventional forces would represent a major escalation in Russia’s seven-year campaign of aggression against Ukraine.” atlanticcouncil.org
From March 2020 to March 2021, it was clear that the Ukrainians were tired of being man handled by Russia. Zelenskiy has pushed and prodded Putin to end the war. Putin not only did not end the war, he increased the pressure on Ukraine. Putin wants Kiev as his own and eventually he will take all of Ukraine.
“In 2021, the Putin regime’s main goal will be to remain in power. Coronavirus, the economic downturn, and the recent crackdown on dissent have weakened the regime. Putin will likely use force abroad to boost popularity at home, which may include conflict with former Soviet states. Russia and China have projected a strong partnership, likely aimed at intimidating the future Biden administration. Putin has ordered the murder of those who threaten his regime.” centerforsecuritypolicy.org
Russia is being prepared by God to fulfill the prophecy of Gog and Magog. Part of that preparation will include winning some regional wars. Russia is flush with confidence militarily because no one has had the guts to oppose them. When they entered Syria in 2015, the West did nothing. NATO is a tame cat that cannot fight Russia. Putin knows this and that is why he is free to take Ukraine when he wants to.
“Rumors of War – Will The US Help Ukraine If Russia Invades? At this hour, Russian and Ukrainian military forces continue to rush toward the conflict zone, and to say that things are “tense” in the region would be a tremendous understatement. When Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky signed Decree No. 117/2021 on March 24th, it was essentially a declaration of war against Russia. Since that time, Russian forces have been massing along the borders in numbers that we have never seen before. And of course Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky never would have signed Decree No. 117/2021 if he had not been given the green light to do so by the White House.
In the end, this is a game of chess between the Biden administration and the Kremlin, and one false move could plunge us into World War 3.” prophecynewswatch.com
There is a local joke in Russia that there are no billionaires in Russia, only people working as billionaires. Oligarchs run the country and act as a sort of government by Mafia. Putin would be the Godfather. Since 2000, Putin has been restoring the glory of the Soviet Empire by opposing the west, undermining NATO, and taking charge in the Middle East. If Putin can control the Middle East, he can control the gas and oil exports to Europe. This is one of his major goals. Israel stands in the way. To get rid of Israel you have to get rid of the USA. How are they going to do that? They do it by eliminating American influence.
“The Kremlin began reestablishing historic Russia by encouraging the revival of the Orthodox Church. The regime also promotes the “compatriots doctrine” claims Russia must protect Orthodox Christians and Russian speakers in other countries. In nine neighboring states – Moldova, Greece, Armenia, Georgia, Serbia, Romania, Ukraine, Bulgaria and Belarus, more than 70 percent of people are Orthodox. 66 percent of Orthodox Christians in those countries (excluding Ukraine) believe a strong Russia is necessary to balance out the West and that Russia has an obligation to protect Orthodox Christians in other countries. 72 percent of Russians agree that their country has an obligation to protect Orthodox Christians in other countries.”
Russian influence has grown rapidly in Eastern and Southern Europe, Putin has demonstrated that he is the leader they want. They blame Israel; her influence in the USA exacerbates the problems in the Middle East. As Russia has eaten into American influence in Europe, America has pushed Europe to stand on their own two feet under President Trump. Since Biden has become President, he will try to show Europe they can trust him to defend them. No one in Ukraine trusts Joe Biden. The reason is that he secured a high-paid board membership position for his son, Hunter Biden, with a Ukrainian energy company named Burisma. He threatened and bribed the Ukrainians out of money and influence. In addition, America is in no position to go to war with Russia over Ukraine. This sets up Russia to attack Israel in the end.
“Russia Erupts in Fury Over Biden’s Calling Putin a Killer. The Kremlin recalled its ambassador to “analyze what needs to be done” about the countries’ relations. Despite Mr. Biden’s long-running criticism of Mr. Putin, some Russian analysts had voiced hope that the Kremlin could forge a productive working relationship with the new administration in Washington on areas of common interest.” nytimes.com
I couldn’t help thinking that if Trump had said this, the press would have crucified him. With Biden, it said he was being tough, strong, etc. Blah Blah. The same people who wanted war with Russia in the Obama administration are now back in charge. They should be careful that they might get what they want.
“Apr 6, 2021 Putin just signed a law allowing him two more terms as Russia’s leader, Military buildup in Arctic includes ‘Superweapon’ Poseidon Torpedo. Reports have indicated that the Russian military has continued with a massive military buildup in the Arctic including a “superweapon” Poseidon 2M39 torpedo that has been being tested on the seabed, according to a new report from CNN.” endtimeheadlines.org
Russia believes and acts as if they can win a first strike nuclear attack against America because people who disdain nuclear weapons lead America.
“Could Russia gamble on a first strike nuclear war? Russia’s huge lead in hypersonic missiles justified a surprise attack? Would our military have time to launch a counter-strike against Russia? Would NATO countries come to our aid and risk a nuclear war? Yasen-class nuclear subs in international waters could launch a barrage of Zircon medium range hypersonic missiles, with nuclear warheads, against high value coastal targets. With no defense against these Mach 8 missiles, the White House; Congress; the Pentagon; Washington, D.C.; and Alexandria, Va., would be destroyed in 2 minutes.” timescall.com
Since God promises to curse those nations that curse Israel, America under Joe Biden is cursing Israel and will be punished. As we stab Israel in the back, how can we expect to survive? Imagine this scenario: what if America attempted an assassination of Putin and failed. Putin I believe would not hesitate to attack the USA!
“WAR WARNING World faces ‘gathering storm’ that could lead to World War Three, British general warns. Lt Gen Sir Graeme Lamb, ex-director of Special Forces, said now was like the 1930s – when the world was hurtling towards World War Two.” the-sun.com
If things are tense in Europe, they are even tenser in Asia. China is making war overtures against Japan and Taiwan…
China: The Dragon
“Beijing Accelerating Timeline for Possible Invasion of Taiwan, Expert Warns. The Chinese communist regime is accelerating its plans to invade Taiwan, an expert warns, as Beijing ratchets up military maneuvers against the island. Taiwan’s President Tsai Ing-wen, re-elected last January, has taken a hard line against threats posed by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), while the island has deepened its cooperation with the United States—prompting the regime to escalate its warmongering towards the island.” theepochtimes.com
America is in the hip pocket of China. China is making these overtures because they know that Biden will not stop them. He will talk a good game but in the end, they will amount to nothing.
“New legislation being considered that would radically alter current Japan Coast Guard policy toward how it engages foreign vessels in Japan’s waters could inadvertently hurl the region toward a hot conflict involving China. The new proposed law comes at a moment of more frequent and heightened incidents between Chinese and Japanese vessels around the contested Senkaku islands near Taiwan (and which happen to also be claimed as Taiwan’s). Currently Japan doesn’t have a mechanism which would activate its Self-Defense Forces in any entanglement with Chinese fishermen landing on the islands, which might escalate to involve Chinse military patrols.” zerohedge.com
The largest incursion of Chinese fighter jets entering Taiwan airspace happened last week. The response of the USA was silence. The reason is that the Americans are outmanned and outgunned in Southeast Asia.
“Twenty Chinese military aircraft entered Taiwan’s air defence identification zone on Friday, in the largest incursion yet reported by the island’s defence ministry and marking a dramatic escalation of tension across the Taiwan Strait. The American military is warning that China is probably accelerating its timetable for retaking Taiwan, the island democracy that’s widely seen as the most likely trigger for a potentially catastrophic U.S.-China war. The worry about Taiwan comes as China wields new strength from years of military buildup.” abcnews.go.com
Biden uses platitudes that say the world was stable before Trump, unstable under Trump, and now it is stable again because Trump is gone. Congressman Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) had a close relationship with a Chinese spy, Christine Fang. This is while he was on the House Intelligence Committee. Hunter Biden was given a complete pass for siphoning money to his family from Chinese sources—some say it was close to a billion dollars. (They covered up the info on his laptop). Disney, NBA, MLB, Goldman Sacks, etc. have great business interests with China and have sold America down the river. Biden supports all of them. It is heartbreaking to see all of the universities that have attached themselves to China and welcome Chinese spies. It’s Orwellian to see the people who stand up for China against the USA. Bill Gates for instance, the third richest man in the world promotes China over America. Michael Bloomberg the 6th richest man in the world makes billions from China. How are these people going to stand for any pushback against China? China has been telling Japan, Australia, South Korea, Philippines, and Taiwan that America cannot protect you so join us. They tell them that America is corrupt and that the new order of Chinese hegemony is a better option. Make a deal with us now so you are not destroyed.
Trump told these allies that America was a better system and that they could trust us to fight with them. That is over under Biden. China does not respect or fear America so they are ever more aggressive!
“The U.S. 7th Fleet, whose area of operations includes the western Pacific and parts of the Indian Ocean, said, “The ship’s transit through the Taiwan Strait demonstrates the U.S. commitment to a free and open Indo-Pacific. The United States military will continue to fly, sail, and operate anywhere international law allows. Recent operations by Chinese warplanes also appear to show China is practicing to cut off U.S. and other international support for Taiwan, should China attempt to take over the island.
