Hijacked Russian Ship

Do you guys all remember the news from last month regarding a hijacked Russian ship? At first glance it didn't seem like much of a story other than just another hijacking....probably by Somali pirates.

But a few weeks later a small rumor appeared that Israel may have had something to do with the "hijacking"....maybe because it was carrying weapons bound for Iran.

It now appears that this was more than rumor...and that Israel was involved in stopping the ship's cargo from reaching it's destination.

The Sunday Times quoted the sources in Jerusalem and Moscow as claiming the ship actually had been loaded with S-300 missiles, Russia's most advanced anti-aircraft weapon, while undergoing repairs in the Russian port of Kaliningrad.

The air defense system could help Iran repel a possible Israeli strike against the Islamic Republic's nuclear sites. Iran has long been interested in buying the missiles from Russia, but Israel has sought to convince Moscow not to deliver the systems.

Israeli military sources said Israel received intelligence that weapons bound for Iran were being loaded in the port, according to the report. "A decision was then taken to inform the Kremlin," a source was quoted as saying.

This story is worth watching because it shows us more evidence that Russia and Iran are cooperating in some way, shape or form. And this is significant as we watch the coalition mentioned in Ezekiel 38 gather steam...to let all of us know that we may be approaching the End of the Age.
