Russia Sending Warships on Maneuvers Near Syria
Russia Sends Warships on Maneuvers Near Syria – NYTimes.com
I landed safely in Montreal and will be interviewed today at 1PM. I speak tonight for two hours and then again tomorrow for three. I have most of the day off today so I’m going to the ‘old city,’ and nose around. This is a new age conference and it will be interesting to see how I am received.
Onto the Daily Post.
Events are escalating in the Middle East, and for me the question is this: Is Putin flexing his muscles or is this recent deployment of ships to Syria a bluff, a way to save face. In other words, the former Soviet Union was once a dominant player on the world scene and after it was dismantled it no longer maintains its super-power status. Is this move of ships to Syria a way for Putin to show strength, to reclaim the old prestige, and to at least show support of Assad?
Syria is engaged in an all out civil war and the west is calling for Syrian president, Bashar Al Assad to step down. This is more coordinated regime change – like we saw in Libya – that the US and its allies are instigating. It is also the fruit of the Arab Spring which erupted over a year ago now. Putin calls it: Democracy by bombing, and he’s not far off in his assessment.
This recent maneuver by the Russians may be a line in the sand in that if Putin is true to his word he will come to the aid of Assad and prevent his removal as president. However there is no altruism here as the Russians will go to war over their warm water port in Tartus and that, in my opinion is more than likely the real reason for the deployment of Russia’s war ships.
From a prophetic stand-point one wonders if this is part of the hook in the jaw that we are told will draw Russia into the fray of Ezekiel 38?
Meanwhile in Iran:
IRAN LEADER: WE MUST PREP FOR ‘END OF TIMES
WND » Iran leader: We must prep for ‘end of times’ » Print
“The issue of Imam Mahdi is of utmost importance, and his reappearance has been clearly stated in our holy religion of Islam,” Khamenei said.
When we combine this story with what is going on in Syria and we also take into consideration that Syria and Iran are allies, it makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. There is an apocalyptic fervor in Iran’s leadership and their belief in the Mahdi, is cause for concern. The movie that is linked to: The Coming is Upon Us, is one that I blogged about when it was first released. If you haven’t seen it yet, I would encourage you to do so.
In closing today’s post: I don’t know the future, none of us does, and all of this saber-rattling may come to nothing. However, what we may be witnessing is the final touches to the stage for WWIII. It’s a very complex mix that we are looking at, however we know that God’s word is true and it will be fulfilled. He is the only one that can call out the end before the beginning. We are told that in the last days there will be a confederacy of nations that will go up against Israel, a land with unwalled villages. Are we in the window of time when we will see this take place? In my opinion we are closer than ever.
Be still and know that I AM God! Behold, the day is coming when I will show my strength on the mountains of Israel.

I just read from another article 11 warships.
Elaine said
Good morning! When I first opened the blog and saw the picture of those war ships the “hair stood up on the back of my neck”……I just imagined something like them coming off Lake Michigan into the port here. Then L.A. used the same phrase in the blog. I can’t imagine how the common folk over there feel just seeing warships even if they are coming to fight for your side must be disconcerting!
Prayers for success and safety in Montreal!

Sometimes the enormity of the refusal of the media to warn everybody about this enormous pile of powder-kegs on the bonfire strikes me more fully; can any of us imagine Walter Kronkite not telling us? What is wrong with them?
But we know what it is.
Elaine said
Yes we do know what is wrong with them!!!! And it is just so stupidly evil…..makes me wonder how Christ would have phrased “Father forgive them, they know not what they do” in modern vernacular more like, “Dad, cut them some slack, they are just morons”
Elaine said
I just got an email from my cousin about cute things kids say in church and it reminded me of the new agers L.A. is speaking to this week. As I have known some, they are very nice but misguided people who tend to find a bit of real truth and then embroider it to suit their own ego needs…..(ironically while saying they want to get rid of all ego!) They follow most of the ten commandments as best they can….they truly love their neighbor etc…..but still miss the real truth by being so full of self worship……so, the joke:
A sunday school teacher asked a little boy how he was going to get into heaven and he said, “I will run in and run out a bunch of times slamming the door every time until God says, “Dylan! For heaven’s sake decide, do you want to be in or be out!”
Here’s hoping L.A. gets them to choose IN!!!!
Eric W. said
Yeah, that’s just a li’l provocative.
I don’t see any of this anywhere on Fox, CNN, etc. so I guess it isn’t that important.
Life’s good.

IMO, something could happen here simply because it’s such an obvious stand out target but I feel like this may be more misdirection and smokescreen. Could even be a false flag setup, who knows?
For my money it’s all about the Middle East although in the peripheral of my vision I continue to see more open stories from higher ups in the EU talking about how they need to consolidate and get a real strong EU President etc. etc. to handle all the “crises” and the rest of it. Keep tabs on that, folks.

I can’t describe exactly how all this makes me feel.
It doesn’t exactly scare me because I know we have God on our side.
I can’t say I’m excited about it either because I know lots of people are going to lose their lives, and a lot of those who die likely won’t have surrendered their lives to Jesus.
I’m not anxious, but I do feel like I’m anticipating something.
It’s just strange acknowledging I actually live in a futuristic dystopia on the verge of the apocalypse and the actual end of days.
I know a lot of Christians in the United States do seem to be preparing as there is a lot of prophecy about what’s going to happen to the country now it appears to be under judgement from the actions of its leaders and people, but do people hear much about what’s going to happen in Europe, particularly the U.K? There is so little information on the internet as the Christian population seems to be so small when compared the to the USA.
Are we just ‘Those who dwell carelessly in the coast lands?’
You know, I’d really appreciate if people would pray over this, and help us to see what may be awaiting this part of Europe.
Thanks

^ Ha! Kids, ya gotta love them. Where does the Bible say you must become as a child again to enter the Kingdom? I just can’t remember right now. Oh to be an innocent child again, I wish!
If any one interested, Webbot-project.blogspot.com. It is very interesting that the computer algorithms line up with Bible prophecy. Note that after 2012 into 2013, there is no ‘chatter’ being predicted. Any thoughts on this guys?
Another note, Dwight D Eisenhower face book page has latest pics of their ‘routine 7 month deployment’, to the Med Sea. (only, it is in fact ‘no less than a 9 month deployment’ and all non permanent housed sailors were to make arrangements for personal belongings. My friend had to drive to Norfolk Va. from Georgia to pick up her sons car and packed his stuff in the RV. If you scroll through the pics on that page, you will see one of a ‘cultural sensitivity class’, note what is on the screen behind the lecturer. Nice.

My guess is that web-bot is for real, but on the downside it’s also demonic.

And next week they’ll want to play nice with us and Israel. The week after that, they’ll do more wargames. Wars and rumors of wars indeed. They’re just trying to push our buttons trying to trick us into taking our eyes off the prize.
God will protect His people Israel and we Christians soon to be caught up. I hope it’s sooner than later, though it’s sad so many will be lost. Even many of us Christians are getting worked.
A friend of mine sent me a devotional from his work’s employee Christian group. I’ve read a few, and they sort of gave me “this is familiar, and oh, this isn’t right” which I will credit to the Holy Spirit rather than my inept discernment. Turns out Os Hillman, the guy writing the devotionals is part of the new apostolic reformation (domionist) crowd. Had it not been for Derek Gilbert doing shows on those clowns, I might have been sucked in by Os this time. The familiarity in his writings screamed out seven mountains, dominionist. Thank you Jesus for the watchmen on the wall.

LA: “I don’t know the future, none of us does, and all of this saber-rattling may come to nothing. However, what we may be witnessing is the final touches to the stage for WWIII.”
I reckon there’s no set (or pre-existing) future apart from the will of God. Not unlike Job being turned over to satan — under the Almighty’s constraints.
Prophecy in Daniel (7-12) and Revelation (13) points to an alliance between the beast nations: lion, leopard, and bear.
So how do we get there from here. Can you see Putin willingly joining Russia to the EU? More likely Russia gets decapitated and dominated.
Just for ref….
Ally said
Its more likely we wull be the ones getting decapitated NM! I see this in the natural and in the spiritual. The Bible sure talks about Russia in the future but not the U.S.
Kirt said
Allly,
What you say is correct. as that is what scripture says.
Russia will be one of the 10 kings that attack and destroy babylon (U.S.)
Jer 51:27 Set ye up a standard in the land, blow the trumpet among the nations, prepare the nations against her ( babylon, U.S.), call together against her the kingdoms of Ararat (Turkey), Minni (Russia), and Ashchenaz ( Germany); appoint a captain against her; cause the horses (cavalry-military troops) to come up as the rough (To raise the head and strut, as in anger or defiance; as, a man bristles up to another. In this sense the word is common in the U. States,but generally pronounced brustle.) caterpillers (devourers)
Jer 51:28 Prepare against her (babylon, U.S.) the nations with the kings of the Medes (Iran, Syria, Afghanistan, turkey, India, Pakistan, ) , the captains thereof, and all the rulers thereof, and all the land of his dominion.
Daniel Ellis said
just throwing this out there…what if America is viewed in prophecy as an extention of Britain.
nomemoleste said
Some points to consider…
The winged lion beast nation in ancient times were likely extended into modern times as the lion (the British Empire) and winged creatures (eagles, carrion eaters, the US empire including Mexico, cp. “there will the eagles be gathered” 17:37, Mt. 24:28). The Luke verses in context are quite interesting.
The major “bad guys” of the end-time are global (spiritual dominions). They’re obvious in the Revelation, Jude, and Peter. Many try to make them fit a single human being instead of a collective headed by one of the rebel angel princes. Probably not the same rebel angel in various ages, since they’re rebels and reap what they’ve sown.
end time bad guys (spiritual dominions) = 1. beast, 2. false prophet, 3. death, 4. mystery babylon, 5. the destroyer, 6. the ruling elite (including merchants), 7. dragon (satan’s minions)
more detail:
the beast (antichrist, ie false saviors, false messiahs)
the false prophet (balaam, false prophets in the media, religions, psychics, diviners, headed by a rebel prince)
death (and “hell,” false pastors, false counselors)
mystery babylon (jezebel, most prominently physically manifest as Great Babylon, which I believe is antichrist controlled Jerusalem, which is also expressed in the many daughter cities with the same spirit, sorcery, throughout the world, including NYC, etc.)
the destroyer (abaddon, false apostles/priests)
the great (nicolaitans, “the chiefs and kings and great of the earth,” the elites, false rulers, false public servants)
the dragon (satan, false witnesses, kangaroo courts, silence when something should be done or said)
These are the antithesis (of Christ’s Holy Spirit), which is like saying this is the deadwood that’s left apart from Christ that’s animated by the opposite spirits under the direction of the rebel angels. They try to put themselves in place of Christ.
As I mentioned, in Daniel 7-12 and Revelation 13, we see more details about how the beast nations (seen as a humanoid figure in Nebuchadnezzer’s dream) are manifest openly in the end time (the ten toes and ten horns).
The spiritual dominions though are still ruled by the rebel angels geographically with some shifting through the generations (since they war with each other as rebels), ex. prince of persia, prince of grecia, king of the south, king of the north, kings of the east, etc.)
Please consider both the spiritual and the physical manifestations. The USA and Mexico, etc. are the current manifestation of the spiritual regions that were formerly seen in the indians, aztecs, mayas, incas, mound builders, etc. So for instance, santa muerte is a manifestation of death, also manifest in the mayan and aztec pantheons. In rome and greece, death was the god of war. There’s a pretty strong point is stating that the US is channeling the war god (death) as the leading arms merchant and superpower waging wars and fomenting wars in the world.
There’s plenty more that can be discussed or analyzed regarding why some assert that the US is babylon, or like Paddy Heron that new york city is babylon, or rome. Please explain your position more (or provide sources). Time will tell, sure, but we’ve already been told plenty in prophecy.

How simple it would be for Putin to show his support of Assad but turn his forces in Israels direction…..

Side note:
Great interview with derek gilbert and guy malone. the main take away, we can have different opinions, but stay focused on Jesus, and respect and love when we disagree.

NATO, Russian naval-air buildup in E. Mediterranean, French units to Gulf
July 11, 2012
A flotilla of at least 11 Russian warships has been detached from Black Sea, North Sea and Baltic fleet bases and is on its way to the Syrian coast for a maneuver; NATO has consigned its rapid response Maritime Group 2 to the same stretch of sea – where also five Israeli warships are deployed. The Western alliance has also increased surveillance flights over the Mediterranean from the Geilenkirchen air base in Germany.
debkafile’s military sources report that this is the first simultaneous, coordinated Syrian-Iranian military maneuver for drilling action against an advancing enemy. It is synchronized from a joint headquarters established for the purpose in Damascus
While these coordinated maneuvers are being presented as designed to fend off foreign intervention in the Syrian conflict, our sources report that they are in fact preparing for a potential US attack on Iran’s nuclear program, which is now expected in Gulf and European military quarters to take place in October, three months hence.

Putin has shown real interest in the Leviathan oil & gas and this would put alot more muscle in the immediate vicinity to strong arm Turkey’s claims over Israel’s in this asset ..

Gog/Magog is near, though presently naval forces and naval marines are dispatched to Syria, very soon Russian armor and Paratroop brigades will follow on the ground assembling in Southern Syria opposite the Israeli held Golan Heights along the ancient Plain of Bashan! As a host of nations are being drawn to the borders of Israel the end of the Church Age is perceived as the Lord God will turn his focus again on his people Israel and in the aftermath of this battle pour out his spirit upon the house of Israel (Ezekiel 38:29)!
