Prophecy Updates and Commentary

Given that the threat posed by Iran in the Persian Gulf has been known for years, one would think that the USA has made preparations to counter that threat, wouldn’t you? If you had made that assumption, you would be wrong, according to the link below. The link reports that the USA has deployed only a few Patriot Missile batteries to the Mideast to defend US installations, personnel and assets in the region.

The report states that the Iranians already have deployed “over a thousand” missiles which can be aimed at the US personnel and assets in the region. If war breaks out, the Iranian missiles will “overwhelm” US missile defenses because the USA has so few anti-missile assets located in that region. Even if every US Patriot missile successfully shot down an attacking missile, there would be so many more attacking Iranian missiles than defending US missiles that the vast majority of Iranian missiles would hit their targets.

One also needs to consider that the US Navy has anti-missile assets that are not mentioned in this link. The US Navy has Aegis-equipped warships stationed in the Persian Gulf which could also shoot down some of the Iranian missiles in any attack. However, those naval Aegis-directed missiles may all be used to protect the US Navy’s assets so none may be available to protect any US land-based assets.

It seems to me that US war strategists have assumed that any warfare in the Persian Gulf will begin with an American or American-led attack against Iran’s nuclear facilities. Any such attack could not be limited to Iran’s nuclear facilities, however. Because of Iran’s stated intention to shut down the Straits of Hormuz in any such war, the USA would have to use  its warplanes to attack the ground-based Iranian missile launchers as part of any initial strike. That would prevent some of Iran’s missiles from being fired at American and allied targets. However, what if American war strategists have made a major blunder in assuming that Iran will not attack first?  There are reports that Iran’s leaders may see a war as the best way to rally the Iranian people to support its current leaders. If this is the case, Iran’s leaders may want a war and the chances of an Iranian first strike may be higher than America’s war planners have thought.

In World War II, the USA never dreamed that Japan would strike first so the Americans were utterly unprepared for the Pearl Harbor attack.  Our nation’s enemies have read the history books, and they realize that the best way to attack the USA is via an unexpected first strike. Ezekiel 38:10-12 prophesies that the nations of the latter-day house of Israel (the ten tribes of Israel) will not be expecting an attack when a great war befalls them as a result of an unexpected attack by Russia, China, Iran and their allies. It is my sense that a Persian Gulf war, if one occurs, will not develop into the prophesied, age-ending Gog-Magog war, but it could be a preliminary war which would drive Iran deeper into the embrace of its Russian and Chinese allies. However, since Ezekiel 38 warns the Gog-Magog alliance will eventually strike first against the USA and the West at the end of this age, Iran could decide to strike first in a Persian Gulf war as well. As long as the USA neglects its defenses against Iranian cruise missiles, the USA is giving the Iranians a good reason to strike first while they have a strong missile advantage. Deterrence is a good policy, but the current US leaders seem unable to grasp that fact.

This is remarkable news! The first link below, from the World Tribune, reports that a remake of the movie “Red Dawn” is being made and it will depict a surprise attack of North America by a combined Russian-Chinese invasion force. The previous “Red Dawn” movie depicted an invasion by Russian, Cuban and allied forces, but the new movie will add the Chinese to the attacking force. Most interestingly, this movie will depict exactly what is prophesied in Ezekiel 38-39: an invasion of North America (and Europe) by a Russian-Chinese invasion force with their allies in Iran, Central Asian nations, North Korea, etc.  If you click on the “full text” option at the end of the story in the first link, you will see a review listing the actors and the projected release date of November 24th for this movie.

The movie reportedly “will make both the Chinese and Russians as the enemies” of the USA and its allies. In other words, the movie will tell the cold, hard truth which the US government and the media are afraid and unwilling to tell the American people. I  urge you to watch the second link, which offers a trailer from the new movie. It shows the Russian-Chinese invasion force dropping paratroopers on North America and landing troops in a seaborne assault, as well as a simulated CNN “live” report on the invasion of North America. The third link, from Wikipedia, gives more information about it, and this movie has already experienced delays in getting finished. The first link reports the Chinese opposition to the movie, so you can be sure that China is acting behind the scenes to have this movie stopped. Pray that it gets done and gets released as it would be a tremendous tool to wake up the US people to the real dangers that they face.

Ezekiel 38 prophesies that his invasion of North America will really happen! It will come as an aerial attack (“like a cloud”–verse 9 and 16), and that it will come “out of the north” (verse 15). In previous blogs, I have observed that the most feasible way for Russia and China to attack North America would be for Russian-Chinese special forces to suddenly seize control of Alaskan airports, killing all American personnel at them and beginning a 24/7 massive airlift of soldiers, warplanes and armored vehicles into those Alaskan airports and sending them southward to slaughter Canadians and Americans. Their goal is revealed in Ezekiel 38:12 to seize all our national wealth. They will slaughter many millions of North Americans (and Europeans), and they may desire to keep some alive for use as slaves. American and western women would likely be kept alive for servicing the massive surplus of Chinese males which now exists in China. These Chinese males without women will, I’d bet, eagerly participate in this invasion of North America. Ezekiel 38:9 prophesies this attack will come like a sudden storm. The USA has foolishly sent its military forces to Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere so only a small amount of America’s military forces are available in North America to defend our homeland. Europe will be invaded as well as they are also part of the “house of Israel” attacked in Ezekiel 38 by Russia and China. A blog I did over a year ago revealed that China has manufactured entire classes of armored vehicles to be airlifted long distances on transport planes. Ezekiel 38 reveals their destination is going to be North America via the Alaskan airfields which are just across the Bering Straits from Russia.

The movie trailer below depicts a seaborne landing as well. This could happen as those massive Chinese container ships bringing cheap goods to the USA could, when the attack is planned, be reconfigured to transport not goods, but many thousands of soldiers to make surprise landings on the West Coast of America and start killing as many Americans as possible to sow terror and induce Americans to surrender to slavery. However, Ezekiel 38 reveals the main Russian-Chinese attack will come from the north, which makes perfect sense. It is only a short flight from Russia to Alaska so the Russian-Chinese military can airlift an incredible number of soldiers into Alaska to invade North America from the north. Obviously, Russian and Chinese warplanes will sortie far to the south from seized Alaskan airfields to destroy every Canadian and American military and infrastructure target they can locate. Russian and Chinese subs would take up position in the North Atlantic to try and sink any American carrier task forces coming northward to stop the invasion forces from pouring out of Asia into Alaska. Canadians are mostly unarmed so they will be little more than sheep for the slaughter as the invaders head southward into American soil in a blitzkrieg attack. Civilian Americans are armed to the teeth due to the Second Amendment of the US Constitution so vast numbers of Russians and Chinese soldiers will die when American aim tens of millions of guns at them. China won’t care about its losses. They would happily sacrifice 100s of millions of their own people to achieve world domination (a previous blog of mine cited a Chinese general making such a statement).

As I have said before, I do not know when this event will occur. However, God has declared in Ezekiel 38 that this attack will most certainly occur even if he has to put the thoughts into the Gog-Magog leaders to launch the attack when his timetable calls for it to happen (Ezekiel 38:4 & 10). The modern nations of the ten tribes of Israel have rebelled against God and openly mocked him so God’s “spanking” of his Covenant People will be the Ezekiel 38 invasion of their lands. It is my hope that the “bride of Christ” (his believers) will be absent or protected when this invasion occurs, but none of us has any guarantees on this. With a weak US President like Obama in office, Russia and China might figure an ideal time to attack is when America has a president with no military skills.  Ezekiel 39:21 cites God as saying he calls on all the modern nations of the house of Israel to fight back with their weapons against these invaders. At some point, God enters the battle when Jesus Christ returns (Ezekiel 38:20-39:12), and the Russian-Chinese armies (and perhaps nations) will have 5/6ths of their numbers killed by either God’s action or the weaponry of the defenders.

Get ready, folks. This event is coming. I hope all of you own guns and know how to use them. Teach your families to use them too. Share this blog with all those who you care about. When this movie comes out (if Chinese pressure doesn’t cause the gutless Obama administration to “cave” to China on this too and stop the movie), go see it. While the tactics may not be exactly what Ezekiel 38 reveals will occur, and I doubt the movie will culminate in the return of Jesus Christ, it will be as close to showing Americans what the Ezekiel 38-39 prophecy will be like when it gets fulfilled. Maybe God has arranged for this movie to be released to give the Americans a final chance to wake up and prepare for this prophesied event.

I also suggest you join the NRA. There may not be much of the US military left in North America after Russia and China launch their “Pearl Harbor” attack. Civilians may have to band together and defend themselves with whatever weapons they have on hand. I think most Americans will be so enraged at this attack when it happens that they will rather die as free men instead of live as slaves to be worked to death.  Americans of whatever race or gender will have too unite and fight at each other’s side because you can be sure the invaders are coming to kill all Americans, regardless of their racial or ethnic origin.

I wish I had better news, folks, but prophetic fulfillments are bearing down on us. Make yourself as ready as you can.

If you appreciate the biblically-based analysis and information you receive at this website, I hope that you will consider making a donation via the Paypal donation button. Almost no donations have been received during the last three weeks. However, the danger posed by Russia and China to the USA is now so obvious that someone has decided to make a movie showing how real this threat is. That means that I’m not the only one seeing how vulnerable the USA is to a Russian-Chinese invasion. The commander of the eventual Russian-Chinese invasion force likely thinks that he can crush the USA in the opening blow. However, God gives us a bit of good news here. Ezekiel 39:3 gives us God’s promise that not all of the invaders weaponry will work as well as they expect. When this war is over, many millions of Americans, Canadians and Europeans will be dead, but almost all the Russians and Chinese will be dead as well (Ezekiel 39:2, 11-16). We will also see the end of this age and the beginning the millennium on the other side of this war. If you wish to have more in-depth information on what the Bible prophesies concerning this World War III which lies ahead of us, I invite you to read my article, What Ezekiel 38-39 Reveal about a Future World War III [PDF], at the articles link at this website.

Former CIA Director Michael Haden has warned that a US attack against Iran has now become “more likely.” Mr. Hayden served as CIA Director under President Bush. I noticed this story in a very brief mention in USA Today’s print issue yesterday, and a websearch netted the first three links that I have provided below. The USA Today story also quoted Mr. Hayden as telling CNN in an interview that military action vs. Iran now “seems inexorable.” That’s a pretty strong statement. As a former CIA Director, Mr. Hayden is in a position to know about such matters. Let’s dig deeper into this story.

The fourth link, from Debka.com, offers an underlying reason for the USA’s new consideration of a military attack vs. Iran’s nuclear facilities. It reports that Saudi Arabia has essentially given the US an ultimatum do either “do something” about Iran’s nuclear program or “Saudi Arabia and its allies will go their own way on the nuclear issue.” As my previous blogs have noted, the Israelis and the Saudis are being pushed closer together to take action against Iran if the USA does nothing. My July 25th blog included a link that the Israeli Mossad Chief recently made a secret visit to Saudi Arabia to consult with his Saudi counterparts. That visit may have been to coordinate a strike vs. Iran if Obama does nothing.

Notice that the Saudi ultimatum to Obama does not name which nations are Saudi Arabia’s “allies” in opposing Iran. If the Israelis, Saudis and others take independent action against Iran, it will make President Obama look even weaker and more ineffective than he already looks to the world community. If the Debka link is accurate, it is Saudi Arabia which may be forcing Obama to take action against Iran. The Debka report is strongly supported by the information in the final link below. That link reports that the Ambassador to the USA from the United Arab Emirates (a Saudi ally) openly called on the USA to use military force against Iran. The UAE Ambassador was quoted as saying he “absolutely” supports the use of force by the USA vs. Iran. However, the story also reports the UAE backtracked from what their Ambassador said after the UAE received pressure from Iran. I think the UAE Ambassador “let the cat out of the bag” re: what several Sunni Arab nations are telling President Obama behind closed doors.

The second link includes a slideshow about Iran’s nuclear program and a short videoclip about Iran’s President promising retaliation if Iran is attacked. If a war breaks out in the Mideast, the lives of Americans could be changed quickly and dramatically. I have mentioned this before, but I hope that you are taking the actions suggested in my article, Should Christians Prepare for Future Hard Times, available at the articles link at this website. That article includes advice on how to prepare for emergencies from official US federal agencies.

Don’t expect to hear much about this important story from the establishment media. They are far too busy telling you about such matters as what is happening in Lindsey Lohan’s life.

The link below, from the World Tribune, indicates that Turkey is about to make a decision to arm itself with nuclear weapons. Given that Israel and Russia are nuclear powers in its region and Iran is poised to be one as well, Turkey will be relegated to regional insignificance if it does not become a nuclear power. Given Turkey’s recent forsaking of its alliance with Israel and its budding alliance with Iran and Syria, this is more bad news for NATO and the West.

The report below asserts that “nuclear weapons research has long been underway, under conditions of extreme secrecy, in Turkey” and that Turkey has made a decision to “press ahead as rapidly as possible with the nuclear weapons and nuclear power programs.”  This would not be a worry if Turkey was solidly in the NATO camp, but it is now only nominally a NATO member given its growing ties with Iran and Syria. Indeed, there is a way that Turkey could become a nuclear power very quickly.

The link cites a report that the USA still stores “an estimated 90 B61 [nuclear] gravity bombs at the Incirlik Air Base” in Turkey. It adds that “fifty of these bombs are reportedly assigned for delivery by US pilots and 40 are assigned for delivery by the Turkish Air Force” (emphasis added). No US warplanes are reportedly stationed with any regularity at Incirlik Air Base. I wonder how well these nuclear weapons are guarded by American forces? If Turkey makes a decision to formally abandon its NATO ties and embrace Iran and Syria, might Turkey send its military to seize control of the 90 US nuclear bombs (or at least the 40 assigned to the Turkish Air Force) and declare that they now belong to the Turkish government? Indeed, might it not do this on its own to set itself up quickly as a superior nuclear power to Iran in its region of the world? The USA can no longer assume that Turkey will stay a US ally, so it would be most unwise for the USA to leave those nukes at a Turkish air base where they could be seized in the future by a hostile Turkey.

The report opines that any Turkish decision to “go nuclear” would drive Greece ever-closer into a strategic alliance with the Israelis and their nuclear deterrent power. I agree with that analysis. Turkey seems eager to restore its former power and influence that was once projected by the Ottoman Empire into the Balkans, the Mideast and even the horn of Africa.

I have identified Turkey as the Edomite nation descended from the Edomite clan of Teman (Genesis 36:15, 34). Note the similarity in the consonants of the word Teman (T-M-N) and the Ottoman Empire (TT-M-N). Edom (or Esau) is not named in Ezekiel 38 as an ally of the Gog-Magog alliance, which will include Iran (“Persia”), but the words (“and many people with you”) in Ezekiel 38:6 allows for unnamed nations to be part of that latter-day alliance. It is possible that Turkey will revert to a pro-NATO stance if its leadership changes in the future, but it now seems poised to take one of two courses: (A) openly ally itself with Iran (which would eventually mean an alliance with Russia and China since all these nations are allies in the Gog-Magog alliance), or (B) become an independent nuclear power and “go its own way” as it tries to restore the glory days of the Ottoman Empire. The latter option seems the most likely, but this situation needs to be watched very closely. The USA and NATO have so far given no indication that they realize the danger Turkey’s recent actions pose to the USA and NATO.

This is a blog which I intended to write awhile ago, but it got lost in the shuffle of things that came to my attention. This blog is to give you what I think is an important piece of information. The link below, from the Washington Times, reveals that the Obama White House is putting pressure on the Pentagon to withhold from Americans the real extent of the military danger posed by China.

The link discusses a Pentagon report that was being held up because the Obama administration wanted it watered down to not mention China’s new military threats to the USA, and to focus instead on some imaginary “US-China military ‘cooperation.’” The link below notes that such a skewed emphasis is a “tough sell” because there basically isn’t any real American-Chinese military cooperation.

Specifically, it was the White House’s National Security Council that pressured the Pentagon to change its report so it hid evidence of China’s growing military threats to America. Such threats include “China’s decade-long buildup of new strategic and conventional missiles, aircraft, warships and other high-tech weapons.” The Obama White House also was trying to remove any mention of China’s new aircraft-carrier-killing ballistic missile, about which I blogged previously. As of when this link was written, it appeared that the real extent of China’s military threat was only going to be published in a “classified” version of the report while the “public” version of the report would hide the real truth that China is a growing military threat to the national security of the USA.

The material in this link certainly indicates that the National Security Council is either in China’s hip pocket or is so co-opted by Chinese influence that it cannot tell the truth to the American people about the growing Chinese military threats to the USA. For balance it must be noted that the Bush administration also faced these same pressures to water-down China’s military threats to the USA. I suspect the fact that China is the USA’s biggest creditor nation gives it huge influence behind the scenes over the US government’s actions, again proving the immutable power of Proverbs 22:7′s warning against debt. The US government is China’s “borrower” so it is increasingly is becoming a ”servant” to China. Americans should be very concerned about this development. The link’s information indicates that the US government has lost the ability to tell Americans the truth about the growing danger posed to America by China’s military power. The prophecy of Ezekiel 38-39, however, is not muzzled. It warns us that Russia, China, Iran and their allies will create a military alliance that will eventually attack the USA, NATO and the nations allied to them. Current geopolitical developments document that the global stage is inexorably being set for the fulfillment of Ezekiel 38-39 in a future year. This link clearly shows that Americans can no longer rely on their own government to tell them the truth about the military threats posed to our nation by China and its Russian and Iranian allies.

The first two links below report that the navies of the USA and India recently participated in an annual “Malabar” naval exercise where the warships of both nations practice carrying out a wide variety of joint missions. The second link, from the Sri Lankan media, observes that the “naval cooperation between India and the US epitomizes the long-term strategic relationship between both countries.” The third link reports that an enhanced level of cooperation has been reached between the American and Indian navies. Three members from the crew of India’s new nuclear-powered submarine were allowed to sail for a week on board a US Los Angeles class nuclear submarine. This step confirms a high (and growing) level of trust between the two navies. The fourth link offers details about India’s first domestically-built nuclear submarine.

In previous blogs, I have observed that the strategic alliance developing between the USA and India is not only good for both nations, but is entirely consistent with the prophecy of Ezekiel 38-39 about the rival world alliances which will fight a global World War III at the end of this age. India is deeply threatened by the Chinese-Pakistani alliance, and it needs an alliance with another nuclear power to balance the combined nuclear and military power of Pakistan and China. Russia is a strategic ally of China so the USA is really India’s only real option for a major strategic partner. The USA also needs India because of the USA’s growing rivalry with China. Modern geopolitics are strongly moving India and the USA into a strategic alliance.

Ezekiel 38 lists the attacking Gog-Magog alliance will include such nations as Russia, China, Iran and the region of Afghanistan and Pakistan. The word translated “Ethiopia” in verse 5 of some Bible versions actually comes from the word “Cush” which designates the region of the Hindu Kush Mountains which straddles Afghanistan and Pakistan and is the home of strong anti-American, pro-Taliban sentiment.  My article, Japan’s Role in Biblical Prophecy, details why I believe the nations of Japan, India and the “young tiger” nations such as South Korea, Singapore, Taiwan, etc. will not be a part of the Gog-Magog alliance. The closer that the USA and India become in their military and strategic cooperation, the more right those identifications appear to be. This also shows that the Creator God who inspired the Ezekiel 38-39 prophecy approximately 2500 years ago is guiding modern geopolitical alliances to precisely fulfill his ancient prophecies. Isaiah 41:21-26 asserts that God’s ability to fulfill his ancient prophecies is one of the strongest proofs of his Divine, albeit invisible, reality and his complete sovereignty over the nations.
