Ukraine Handing Out Guns to Citizens Telling Them to Stand and Fight

 As we already know, most Democrats aren't fond of guns.  Many of them would be willing to pass a law making gun ownership illegal.  Especially the black guns that they don't understand.  Many think that brown guns are for hunting but black guns are weapons of war and NOT to be owned or operated by civilians.

So the news that the government of Ukraine was handing out assault rifles to anyone who wanted one has to be driving some Democrats bonkers.  In fact we saw this on Twitter yesterday and it made us smile.

China's Military Aircraft Enter Taiwan Airspace

 In talking to friends about Russia invasion of Ukraine we agreed that if we were China we would be fueling our fighter jets and ships right now getting ready to invade Taiwan.  China wants Taiwan in a big way.  What a perfect time to do this when The West is on their heels wondering what to do about Russia.

And now we are reading headlines that should make the folks in Taiwan should be even more worried.

Nine Chinese aircraft entered Taiwan’s air defense identification zone (ADIZ) in the hours following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Taiwanese air assets were scrambled in response, according to Taiwan’s defense ministry.

The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has sent such incursions into Taiwan’s airspace continuously over the past two years in an apparent attempt to intimidate and exhaust Taiwan’s military.

The Feb. 24 sortie marked the 13th incursion this month, but was well off the last large-scale incursion in late January when the Chinese military sent 39 aircraft into Taiwan’s ADIZ.

The ADIZ isn’t airspace directly over the island nation, but in the immediately surrounding area where identification, location information, and government control of aircraft is required for security purposes. Taiwanese military aircraft are scrambled to respond to each such incursion.

The CCP claims that Taiwan, which has been self-governed since 1949, is a breakaway province. Chinese leader Xi Jinping has vowed to “reunify” the island with the mainland, and hasn’t ruled out the use of force in doing so.

Taiwan’s defense ministry said the latest incursion included eight fighter jets and one reconnaissance aircraft.

The incident comes as Taiwan’s leadership watches the ongoing crisis in Ukraine with concern. Defense and security experts believe that the international response to that crisis could inform the CCP’s strategy for a future invasion of Taiwan.

Taiwan’s leaders have been keen to point out that Russia’s actions in Ukraine are emblematic of a greater struggle between authoritarianism and a democratic way of life.

“The people and government of Taiwan stand with Ukraine,” Taiwan Vice President Lai Ching-te wrote in a tweet. “The principle of self-determination cannot be erased by brute force.”

Of course we fully believe that Russia and China are communicating regularly and cooperating on various things even of a military nature.  So we won't be surprised if we find out that China has invaded Taiwan in the coming days or weeks.  As if things aren't interesting enough already!!

Top Democrat Warns Putin Not to Forget About Global Warming

 If you need more evidence that we are living in a world run by clowns, here's some more for you.

While being interviewed on Arabic TV, former Secretary of State, John Kerry, warned that Putin shouldn't forget about global warming while he's invading Ukraine.  Also he warned that other big countries might lose focus on global warming as they are trying to figure out how to stop the slaughter of thousands of Ukraine citizens.

"…Massive emissions consequences to the war, but equally importantly you're going to lose people's focus. You're going to lose, certainly, big country attention because they will be diverted, and I think it could have a damaging impact," Kerry said after stating that he was concerned about the people of Ukraine, as well as Russia's willingness to "change boundaries of international law by force."

"So, you know, hopefully I think President Putin would realize that in the northern part of his country, they used to live on – 66% percent of a nation that was over frozen land. Now it's thawing and his infrastructure is at risk and the people of Russia are at risk," he added. "And so I hope President Putin will help us to stay on track with respect to what we need to do for the climate."

After the interview, Mr. Kerry got on his private jet and flew to Iceland to accept an award for all his hard work on Global Warming.

Yes, these are the folks that are running the greatest nation on God's green earth right into the ground.

I love this country and am thankful that I have been able to spend all my 59 years here, but it is really sad to watch it go.  

However, I'm looking forward to going to the New Country that Jesus has prepared for all of us aliens who love him.

Is Ukraine a Foreshock of The Big One?

 The events in Ukraine happening today could just be another birth pang OR it could be a major contraction that leads to the Big One.  What is the Big One?  Ezekiel 38 War.  The comments below come from Amir Tsarfati

We are watching historic changes taking place in the world. Often, before a big earthquake there will be a series of smaller temblors called foreshocks. For instance, in Israel the past 30 days have seen four minor quakes. These have triggered concerns among some authorities that a major earthquake may be on the horizon. The same is true in the geopolitical world. Shake-ups will occur within countries or between nations, all leading up to the Big One – a global event that rocks the planet.

It’s hard to know exactly when this round of international quakes began, but we can certainly see them increasing in strength. There has been a profound moral erosion in a great many of the world’s nations. Cultural division has segmented many populations and has often expressed itself in violent ways. Elections in numerous countries, particularly in the US, Israel, and a number of European nations, ushered in new, weak governments. Then came a strong quake that shook the global landscape. The US executed a humiliating pull-out from Afghanistan. At that moment, the established superpower hierarchy collapsed sending shockwaves throughout the world. But despite the magnitude of that shake-up, the Big One is yet to come.

How do all these changes relate to what we are seeing with Russia and Ukraine? This border conflict, which might lead to all-out war, is another foreshock that could potentially usher in the Big One. What is the Big One? It is the war that we read about in Ezekiel 38:

 “Therefore, son of man, prophesy and say to Gog, ‘Thus says the Lord God: “On that day when My people Israel dwell safely, will you not know it? Then you will come from your place out of the far north, you and many peoples with you, all of them riding on horses, a great company and a mighty army. You will come up against My people Israel like a cloud, to cover the land. It will be in the latter days that I will bring you against My land, so that the nations may know Me, when I am hallowed in you, O Gog, before their eyes.”’” (Ezekiel 38:14-16)

 Russia and its allies will come from the north and attack Israel, slaughtering one-third of the Jewish population. This is the war that will pave the way for the rise of the antichrist and the seven-year tribulation. Right now, with so many prophecies clearly fulfilled in the re-creation of Israel and its economic, military, technological, and cultural flourishing, we are undoubtedly living in the time of Ezekiel 37. However, as we look around us, particularly as we see what is happening in Russia and in America, it appears that the page is now turning to Ezekiel 38.

What we are watching now is a move that Russian President Vladimir Putin has been planning for many years. We know this because since 2014 Russia has built up its wealth funds, decreasing its dependence on foreign investors and moving away from a reliance on the US dollar and other currencies. He has also been playing a long game in creating a European dependence upon Russian gas. The previous US president understood this and worked to not only make America energy independent but insisted that its European allies break away from Russian energy. He also supported the EastMed pipeline which would carry Israeli gas through Cyprus to Greece. This would act as a counterbalance to Russia’s Nord Stream 2 and would serve as a way for Europe to support and lean on its allies rather than its rivals. The new president, however, reversed course on those strategies. As a result of these long-term tactics, Russia knows that it is strong enough to withstand most sanctions that will be brought against it. Moscow also knows that any sanctions that are put into effect will not be strong, because all they need to do to get Europe to bend to their desires is to threaten to turn off the Nord Stream 1 pipeline.

Again, Putin has had this plan in place for a number of years, but the timing wasn’t right. Why? Because of who was in the White House. The previous president killed General Qasem Soleimani, the commander of the al-Quds Force of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and most powerful military leader in Iran, and suddenly there was peace in the Middle East. For this and other reasons, the nations of the world were always a little nervous around that president, which is a good thing when it comes to geopolitical diplomacy. The new administration, however, has none of the same strength or reputation. The world sees that Iran is not being held accountable as it increases its uranium enrichment. It sees that China is not being made answerable as it constantly trespasses into Taiwanese airspace and makes its own preparations to move forward toward “reacquiring” the island country that they believe to be their own. Putin sees these situations and he witnessed the Afghan debacle and has now decided that this first winter after the Afghanistan pull-out is his time to move.

At this point I'm guessing that the world will never return to Pre-Covid "normal".  There are simply too many things happening all at once.

And we will repeat Jan Markell's words again, "What did you think the Last Days would look like?"

Also please remember that WE aren't looking for the Antichrist, we are listening and looking for the return of Jesus Christ!  Let's all remember that.

Israeli Airstrikes in Damascus

 Please remember that Isaiah 17 is still on the table and has yet to be fulfilled.  We know it will happen in the VERY Last Days but don't know if it will happen before the rapture or right after it.  But certainly we are seeing the foreshadowing of the soon fulfillment of this 2800 year old prophecy.

An alleged Israeli airstrike targeted sites near Damascus on Wednesday night, according to Syrian state news agency SANA.

Three Syrian soldiers were killed and material damage was caused by the strikes, according to SANA.

According to the Syrian Capital Voice site, the strikes targeted an air defense battery in al-Kiswah and an Iranian weapons shipment at the Damascus International Airport.

A Syrian air defense missile fell on the road leading to the Damascus International Airport, according to the Capital Voice.

The opposition-affiliated Halab Today TV reported that the strike resulted in seven deaths and 12 injuries, as well as significant material damage.

The airstrike comes just a day after Syrian state media reported that Israel had fired a number of surface-to-surface missiles from the Golan Heights towards sites in Quneitra near the border, causing some material damage.

Last week, a number of sites were targeted by surface-to-surface missiles near Zakyah, south of Damascus. According to the Syrian Capital Voice site, Iranian militias control sites and warehouses at the sites that were targeted.

Two weeks ago, an anti-aircraft missile fired from Syria set off rocket sirens in and near Umm al-Fahm in northern Israel, as Syrian state media reported an alleged Israeli airstrike near Damascus. According to Syrian state news agency SANA, a Syrian soldier and five civilians were killed in the alleged Israeli airstrike.

On Monday, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov condemned Israeli strikes on Syria, warning that these attacks could lead to an escalation. Syrian Foreign Minister Faisal Mikdad warned that Syria would respond to Israeli attacks.

Read that last paragraph I put in bold closely.  So on Monday the Russians warned Israel and on Wednesday the Russians invaded Ukraine.  Do you see how this all could play out and that Isaiah 17, the destruction of Damascus, could lead to Russia leading the Ezekiel 38 coalition with the intent and purpose to destroy Israel once and for all?

What an exciting time to be alive!  We live in the generation that, I believe, won't see death!  We will hear the trumpet and get our new bodies and meet Jesus in the clouds and will NEVER have to worry about anything ever again!  Maranatha!

Russia Officially Invades Ukraine

 It’s now more than rumors of war.  Putin invaded a few hours ago and warned other nations that if they interfere with Russian military maneuvers that they will “see things they never imagined”

*********************

One of the most famous and detailed prophecies in the Bible concerns an invasion of Israel by a confederation of nations. Chapters 38 and 39 of Ezekiel give the details, including a specific list of the nations involved. The first two verses say, “And the word of the Lord came to me saying, ‘Son of man, set your face toward Gog of the land of Magog, the prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal, and prophesy against him.’” 

It’s obvious from that passage and others that Gog is not a nation, but a national leader. The word “Gog” means “high,” “top guy,” or “supreme.” The first-century Jewish historian, Josephus, wrote that, “Magog is called the Scythians by the Greeks.” The Greeks used the word “Scythia” to refer to the region north and east of the Black Sea. Today, that includes, not just Russia, but also Ukraine.

The Scythians also ruled the area east of the Caspian Sea that is today occupied by Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, and Tajikistan. Each of these nations were once part of the Soviet Union. Vladimir Putin seems intent on bringing them back into the sphere of Russian control. Also, each of these nations is predominantly Muslim, which may also contribute to their desire to one day join a coalition of nations against Israel.

But the first step in Putin’s plan centers on Ukraine. In area, it is Europe’s second largest nation. It gained its independence from the Soviet Union in 1991. At that time, Ukraine possessed one-third of the Soviets’ nuclear armaments. With 1,900 warheads, Ukraine then held the third largest nuclear arsenal in the world. In 1994, Russia, Britain, and the United States signed the Budapest Memorandum on Security Assurances. They promised to ensure Ukraine’s security if it gave up its large nuclear arsenal.

People’s Convoy Headed to D.C.

Sorry for the lack of posts these past days but just got back from a wedding in Mexico.

I’m sure you’ve all been watching what’s been going on in Canada. Mask police tackling skiers on the lifts who didn’t wear a mask while on the slopes. Police wrestling with citizens trying to peacefully protest, etc...   Well it might very well be a foreshadowing of what’s coming for America.  The fences are going up around the White House as our own truckers are planning their own peaceful convoy.  Will our police and soldier start turning on those who refuse masks and vaccines?

*******************

“The freedom to choose is what our country is founded on, what our military has fought for, and died for, and bled for, and sacrificed everything,” Sommers, who has been a trucker for 34 years, told Breitbart News. “We must stand up, this is our duty. … I feel this is also a way, for myself personally, that I can fight for my country and its people.”

“The blue collar boys have historically always been the first to jump in and defend our freedom,” Steele, who is a paralegal, mother, and wife, and had no previous experience with truckers, explained. “Whatever war it’s been, throughout history, it’s always the blue collar boys that are the first in, they sacrifice the most, they’re the first to sign up, and they’re doing it again. I mean, here we are again, in 2022, with our freedoms on the line and tyranny closing in, and one more time, it’s the blue collar boys. So they’re the tip of the spear, and we owe them a world of gratitude.”

Both Sommers and Steele emphasized the importance of truckers to American society. “Without trucks, we are the lifeblood of America. I mean, everybody dies. There would not even be doctors or nurses. They couldn’t even continue on without trucks,” Sommers said, explaining that truckers are often the unseen, unsung heroes of society who allow for access to all things from basic necessities like food and clothing to whatever someone ordered on Amazon.

“The last 23 months of the COVID-19 pandemic have been a rough road for all Americans to travel: spiritually, emotionally, physically, and – not least – financially,” a Saturday press release reads. “With the advent of the vaccine and workable therapeutic agents, along with the hard work of so many sectors that contributed to declining COVID-19 cases and severity of illness, it is now time to re-open the country.”

“It’s about bringing this country together and uniting right now,” Sommers continued. “It’s not necessarily whether or not you’ve gotten the shot. … It’s the freedom to choose, and our freedom of choice. I mean, there’s a lot of people that have gotten the vax that are on board with this as far as losing our freedom to choose whether we want to get the vaccination. … Our freedoms are being stripped from us.”
