| Russian President Vladimir Putin and Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu |
Only a fool would deny that relations between the United States and Russia are bad and getting worse. And only a fool would deny that the morally and intellectually bankrupt Obama administration is largely responsible for the deteriorating relations.
Recently, Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered snap checks of his military's combat readiness in Russia's central district. According to Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu: We have to check the capabilities of paratroopers when they are deployed over large distances and their readiness to make landings on unknown aerodromes.
Russia's defense minister added that the latest wargames also involve civilians, including from the health and agriculture ministries, and are designed to test "their readiness to carry out their tasks in wartime conditions."
Is Putin readying Russia for war against the United States? That's extremely unlikely when you consider that Russia's economy is currently in the toilet. While the Russians possess a massive amount of firepower, including 8,000 nuclear weapons, they're not planning on getting into a military confrontation with the U.S. At least not just yet. A war with the U.S. would cripple Russia's already fragile economy.
But in the future? That may depend on who occupies the White House. The Russians are hoping that American voters make the same mistake in 2016 that they made in 2008 and again in 2012 when they elected and reelected the most unqualified, incompetent president in the history of the United States.
And considering how apathetic and clueless many American voters are, there's a strong possibility that a Hillary Clinton or (God forbid) a Bernie Sanders could become America's 45th president. If that happens, Putin and his comrades in the Kremlin will be celebrating with a lot of cognac and vodka.
Does Putin really want war with the United States? Of course not. Rather, Putin realizes that Barack Obama is an extremely weak president who's paralyzed by his leftist ideology that equates war with a deadly plague. Thus, Obama can be pushed around, as Putin demonstrated in 2008 when he threatened to destroy an anti-ballistic missile system the U.S. had planned to install in eastern Europe.
Putin also recognizes that the Obama administration appeased Iran by negotiating a terrible nuclear agreement that guarantees the Persian state will become a nuclear power within two years. That will touch off a nuclear arms race in the Middle East that will also affect much of Europe, including Russia. Russia exists to the north of several Islamic states that could get weapons and nukes from Iran. Obviously, Putin isn't going to sit back and wait for a catastrophic attack to occur in Russia. That's why he's getting his military ready.
Russia's ascent towards becoming a global military superpower is prophetic. Nearly 2,600 years ago, the ancient prophet Daniel received a vision from God concerning the rise of two powerful nations in the last days. (Daniel 11) Daniel described one of these nations as a northern kingdom.
What is the identity of the northern kingdom? The northern kingdom is Russia. But how can we be sure of that? Because the Bible always places Israel at the center of its geographical map. And Russia is located directly north of Israel.
And consider that the prophet Ezekiel, who lived about 2,500 years ago, prophesied that a powerful nation he identified as Gog would launch an invasion against Israel in the last days along with a vast military coalition. (Ezekiel 38-39)
Here's what the prophet wrote: "Son of man, prophesy against Gog and say: ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: I am against you, Gog, chief prince of Meshek and Tubal. I will turn you around and drag you along. I will bring you from the far north and send you against the mountains of Israel. Then I will strike your bow from your left hand and make your arrows drop from your right hand. On the mountains of Israel you will fall, you and all your troops and the nations with you. I will give you as food to all kinds of carrion birds and to the wild animals. You will fall in the open field, for I have spoken, declares the Sovereign Lord. I will send fire on Magog and on those who live in safety in the coastlands, and they will know that I am the Lord." (Ezekiel 39:1-6)
Who is Gog? Gog was one of the names for the ancient tribe of Rosh that many modern Russians are descended from. Is it any coincidence that Russia is now becoming a military power that will menace the world? Hardly.
And keep in mind that the dreaded Antichrist will also come from Russia. Thus, when we see Russia flexing her military muscles, we know that we're getting close to the end. Extremely close.
