Currahee - Pete Garcia Omega Letter

Currahee by Pete Garcia - https://www.rev310.net/ 

 Does it seem like it is increasingly harder and harder to find a good church? I’m not talking about the mega-church with its own zip code and parking attendants, but the kind that when you worship, you feel the presence of God in your midst. Where the Gospel is not abandoned for flowery upbeat, self-help sermons on how to be a better you, but the kind that puts the old rugged cross at the crossroads of every man and woman’s life. Increasingly, as we see the end approaching, we see the apostasy and heresy that have always been present to varying extents within Christendom, start to take over, and what was once a nuisance, is now a serious threat to the very Gospel we cling to. More and more born-again believers are departing their churches for worship in homes or with friends, rather than part-taking in the emergent or ecumenical movements that are sweeping across the land. 

For this, the born-again believer has become increasingly isolated. “The truly spiritual man is indeed something of an oddity. He lives not for himself but to promote the interests of another. He seeks to persuade people to give all to his Lord and asks no portion or share for himself. He delights not to be honored but to see his Saviour glorified in the eyes of men. His joy is to see his Lord promoted and himself neglected. He finds few who care to talk about that which is the supreme object of his interest, so he is often silent and preoccupied in the midst of noisy religious shoptalk. For this, he earns the reputation of being dull and over-serious, so he is avoided and the gulf between him and society widens. He searches for friends upon whose garments he can detect the smell of myrrh and aloes and cassia out of the ivory palaces, and finding few or none he, like Mary of old, keeps these things in his heart. It is this very loneliness that throws him back upon God." -AW Tozer: The Saint Must Walk Alone It’s hard not to feel some sense of isolation here in this day and age when so many churches run lukewarm. 

My intent here is not to expose some new shocking detail about the cults or the pseudo-quasi religions masquerading as Christianity, but to encourage those of you who find it increasingly difficult to find commonality amongst other people, especially Christians, in these waning days as we wait upon the Lord to return. It seems the longer we wait, the fewer people we find that simply hold to the simplicity of the Gospel. Paul stated THIS was the gospel he preached and the ONLY one that saved: 

 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you, first of all, that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. 1 Corinthians 15:1-6 

Because the Gospel we hold to runs so counter-intuitive to anything the world offers, it continually separates us from the expanding theological persuasion that there are many paths to God or that God is in everything. It (the world) is forcing us either to assimilate or face destitution. Surely, our growing cultural isolationism is a testament to the lateness of the hour in which we find ourselves. Not only are those who oppose the Gospel message more numerous, but they do so now with increased vitriol and hostility.

This is not just in the Muslim world, where there was always a certain level of intolerance, but in the “Christian” westernized nations that have church histories dating back many centuries have all but shunned the evangelical Christian. But this is no surprise to the biblically literate, as it is stated in numerous places that we would increasingly find ourselves at odds with the world (1 Timothy 4, 2 Timothy 3, 2 Peter 2-3)

Jesus said: If the world hates you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you. If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you. John 15:18-19 

We find it harder and harder to find pleasure these days, so dedicated to the god of this world. Nothing is sacred anymore, nothing is so pure or innocent that it can’t be tainted by some scandal or depravity. While our longing to be with Christ goes on day after day as seemingly unanswered, many lose faith and wander off seeking enlightenment elsewhere. 

Then there are those who remain so fixed on our deliverance, that they move from event to event, hoping that it means some more conclusive sign that our enthusiasm is not misplaced. Quite often they are disappointed that the Lord did not come at some appointed time they had figured out. But our hope isn’t in the Rapture itself, although we look forward to that day with much anticipation, it is in the person who is doing the catching up. If we have faith in who Jesus is, then we know that His promise (Jn 14:1-3) is not delayed for the sake of delaying. We know that His delay is so that all the men and women that could be saved, would be (2 Peter 3:9). 

But even though the knowledge of that delay is justified still does not fully satisfy our desire to leave this fallen world and be with our Redeemer. It just makes the understanding a little more tolerable to bear. I believe that the reason the Bible spends so much time emphasizing that we love one another is that Jesus knew how difficult this world would be for the believer. We are sojourners in this world, pilgrims passing through (1 Peter 2:11). 

Many, who have gone before us did not see the promise of the Messiah within their lifetimes, and they often struggled with profound difficulties we here in modern America could barely fathom. And others had trial of cruel mockings and scourgings, yea, moreover of bonds and imprisonment:

They were stoned, they were sawn asunder, were tempted, were slain with the sword: they wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins; being destitute, afflicted, tormented; (Of whom the world was not worthy:) they wandered in deserts, and in mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth. And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, received not the promise: God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect. Hebrews 11:36-40

We are the arms for the Body of Christ here on this earth now. Having received our salvation by the redemptive blood of Jesus Christ, and being sealed unto the day of promise by the Holy Spirit, we are to reach out to our brothers and sisters showing them a true, genuine concern and caring, that the world is incapable of offering. In lifting each other up, we strengthen and encourage the remaining body of Christ as a whole here. This shows the world something that is so strange and obscure that they can’t wrap their mind around it. That our hope is not based on money, government handouts, entitlement programs, or anything else on this earth. Our hope doesn’t even lie in this realm of life. We realize that our life, even if to 120 years of age, is a blemish on a grain of sand compared to eternity (Ps 103:15). Our reward is forever in the company of the Creator of this universe. 

Don’t lose hope, even though our world is growing darker. It only means your light will shine that much brighter. It will draw some, but it also makes us an easier target to spot by those who hate Christianity in the world. As time continues on, it will seem like the darkness is threatening to engulf us all and swallow us up in an ocean of violence and depravity, it is at times like these that we must stand together.

We must build each other up and pray for brothers and sisters in Christ, to stand strong and not lose hope. It is always darkest before dawn, and when our day of redemption does come, all these troubles will be over for us as we rule and reign with our Lord and Savior forever. Hold fast to this promise:

 Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth. Revelation 3:10 

By the way, in case you were wondering, Currahee is a Cherokee word that means "we stand alone together," which is a fitting motto for us believers here in the last days. Hold fast to the faith, and keep running for that crown. Our family may dwindle in size, but God always has His remnant. 

 Author's note: Originally published on Monday, September 26, 2011, at the beginning of my time with the Omega Letter. Prior to the writing of this, I spent four glorious years with the 101st Airborne in Fort Campbell, Kentucky, of which, the Fourth Brigade Combat Team (formerly known as the 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment [of the HBO miniseries 'Band of Brothers' fame] had the unit moniker of "Currahee." You can read their history here if you want. 

 As an aside, I found the image of the lone platoon running up Mt. Currahee similar to our current struggle as Christians in these last days. We are not just running the race, but we are doing so uphill, alone, and oftentimes, in varying states of misery. Just keep in mind that this race is almost over, and that trumpet is about to sound. Keep running, never quit, and know that we might be alone, but we are "alone together."

A Commentary about the 2nd Babelization of the World before the Real Great Reset.

Commentary on the 2nd Babelization of the World

Written in 2013. Published by Jean-Louis Mondon

My commentary unpublished until now about a comment that I read on an article that I was reading. I can´t keep up with everything I read and comment on.  

I read this last night. Interesting. One more step toward the NWO unification of mankind against the rule of Almighty God. 

For every truth there is a lie.

Just looking at the state of the world today, It is becoming incredibly hard to distinguish between the two.  

One definition of truth could be absolute and exact correspondence with the reality of God’s word and embodied and personified by the Lord Jesus Christ who said : “I am the Way, the Truth and the Life. No one comes through the Father except through me.” John 14: 6.

If Jesus is the true light, then there is a false counterfeit light.

We all have heard of the Great Reset that the leaders of the world have been feverishly working to bring unity, peace, security and prosperity in all areas of life, to rule over mankind. 

 

This is only the 1st one of the 21st Century, the counterfeit or false one. Everything is being set in order for it to happen. It will happen according to the Word of God.

But then, before the false flag event, there will be a real true FIRST  reset event called the Rapture of the true Christian church that will herald the 2nd coming of the Lord Jesus in all His glory as the King of King and Lord of Lord. 

The Rider on the White Horse
…13He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and His name is The Word of God. 14 The armies of heaven, dressed in fine linen, white and pure, follow Him on white horses. 15And from His mouth proceeds a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations, and He will rule them with an iron scepter. He treads the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God the Almighty.…  Revelation 19:13-15.

Please, understand that I am not saying this technology is evil . I am sure it will make communication much easier for everybody and bring people of different ethnic and language groups together and promote understanding. Every technological advance and application has a light and dark side. This dark side has been highlighted by the biblical quotation about the ancient tower of Babel in the above article.

In 1976, I was a graduate student at the University of California. As a teaching assistant, I was teaching French Literature. and linguistics, particularly phonetics, morphology, physiology of speech and its sound components to undergraduate students. My professor was a pioneer in speech recognition. He and his colleague professor as well as the research students were working on one the prototype of what was going to become the speech recognition software application.

We have come a long way Babel, it was 36 years ago.

So to the people that live in denial, pick up your phone, you don´t need a Babylon online translator or a live interpreter, willingly or unwittingly, you live in Babylon, you are part of Babel the second and last nightmarish experiment of rebellious mankind against Almighty God that will send you a delusion that you will not be able to resist.

It is still time to repent individually of your sins, ask for mercy and receive pardon and a new eternal life in Jesus-Christ because He, the Lord of Lords and King of Kings died in your place on the cross and was resurrected and now is alive.

Soon He will come to judge the world and do away with sin and evil which offend his holiness and all who rejected his offer of forgiveness and his free gift of eternal life.

The Word of God is very clear on that: Mercy triumphs over judgment. James 2:12 but in Jonah 2:8 the scriptures also declares: those who cling to worthless idols forsake the grace that could be theirs. Maranatha. Lord Jesus, come.

The Abolition of Humanity - J.R. Nyquist

Posted on March 15, 2022 The Abolition of Humanity

 Four reformers met under a bramble bush. They were all agreed that the world must be changed. ‘We must abolish property,’ said one.

‘We must abolish Marriage,’ said the second.

‘We must abolish God,’ said the third.

‘I wish we could abolish work,’ said the fourth.

‘Do not let us get beyond practical politics,’ said the first. ‘The first thing is to reduce men to a common level.’ 

‘The first thing,’ said the second, ‘ is to give freedom to the sexes.’

‘The first thing,’ said the third, ‘is to find out how to do it.’

‘The first step,’ said the first, ‘is to abolish the Bible.’

‘The first thing,’ said the second, is to abolish the laws.’ 

‘The first thing,’ said the third, ‘is to abolish mankind.’ Robert Louis Stevenson, “The Four Reformers” ⚔️

 What a devil wants, in the greater scheme of things, is to destroy. There is, in the cosmos, a creative principle. There is, opposing it, a destructive principle. Thus we find, two opposing tendencies behind everything. And you cannot have one without the other. Look at the policies of any leader and ask if these policies tend towards creation or destruction. Will his policies bring prosperity or bankruptcy? Will they bring peace or war?

Now let us consider, again, the socialists and their New Religion. The first socialist country (the motherland of socialism] was the Union of the Soviet Socialist Republics, otherwise known as the Soviet Union. Was this country a destructive or creative formation? Under its founder, Vladimir Lenin, millions were killed in the Russian Civil War and the Red Terror. We don’t even have an exact death count. What was then built? Everyone was poor. There was no money. So Lenin embraced “state capitalism” under the New Economic Policy (NEP). In other words, he destroyed the country for the sake of his power, then he rebuilt it with capitalism.

Of course, Lenin died in 1924 and Stalin took over. And once Stalin had built something, he began selectively destroying again; first, destroying elements of the Communist Party itself; second, by destroying the more prosperous farmers (the “kulaks”); third, by instituting a terror famine in Ukraine; fourth, by preparing a massive military buildup in advance of World War II. Stalin killed between 30 and 60 million human beings. Again, we do not know the exact number. 

Then, to unleash Hitler on the world, Stalin signed the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact. That begin what Stalin called the Second Imperialist War. Moscow and Berlin partitioned Poland. The West declared war on Hitler and the communists under Stalin gloated. They said to themselves. “The fools have given us Europe. All we have to do is wait for the combatants to exhaust each other while we build an arsenal of 30,000 tanks.” 

Hitler was too successful in this early phase, defeating France in 1940. Hitler then realized what Stalin was up to and turned on his “partner,” attacking the Soviet Union on 22 June 1941. Tens of millions died. But Stalin was saved by the West. And he invaded what is now China and helped the communists come to power there. And once this was accomplished, he contemplated a war with the West. But then he died, or perhaps was murdered by his associates.

These associates developed a long range strategy that involved re-enacting Lenin’s New Economic Policy. They wanted access to technology and money. They wanted to build in order to have a better means of destroying. They wanted also to subvert the West by becoming the West’s partner. And China would play a special role in this.

Now let us consider where we are today. Like Lenin, Gorbachev began a New Economic Policy back in the 1980s. The USSR gave up its empire for the sake of rebuilding itself, for the alleged sake of creation. Thirty years later, President Vladimir Putin has the largest nuclear arsenal in the world. In other words, creation was placed in the service of destruction.

Despite what people are saying, Putin has a potent military. And we have only seen a small part of it. Naturally, it is not perfect. As Viktor Suvorov has argued, Moscow’s army is paradoxically strong and weak, effective and ineffective. With every apparent defeat it will move forward. It will win hard-fought battles. This is the pattern. This is already the way Russian history works. 

And in this current military scenario, Putin has aligned his country with China and the other communist countries. He has not done this because he is a Christian. Oh no. He is a fake Christian even as he was a fake democrat. Putin is a communist, and his goal has always been to paste the Soviet Union back together – which is why he invaded Ukraine. 

Putin stated in his pre-war speech that the breakup of the Soviet Union was illegal. That means he is not actually the leader of Russia, but the leader of the Soviet Union. His objective, therefore, is to lead the communist bloc to victory over the imperialists and capitalists. Therefore, the war in Ukraine is part of a much larger project. 

Of course, Putin says he is liberating the Ukrainian people from American imperialist control. But everyone can see that the Ukrainian people are already free, and they are willing to fight and die for that freedom – because they do not want to be ruled by Moscow. And so, Putin’s invasion of Ukraine has met stiff resistance. The weather in February was warmer than usual. The Russian tanks and vehicles have been largely road-bound and limited in their ability to maneuver. So Russian casualties have been higher than expected. 

So what does Putin do?

He bombards Ukraine’s cities. He destroys and he destroys. Last week the mayor of Kharkiv said one third of the city – Ukraine’s largest city – was rubble. Mariupol has been besieged and its 400,000 residents are said to be without running water or heat. Kiev faces the greatest offensive of all. Elements of four Russian armies are gathering to the north and east of the city. Their objective is to surround it, to bombard it, and to wipe out Ukraine’s center of government. The suffering in Ukraine is unimaginable. Yet the people bravely fight on against difficult odds.

President Zelensky, addressing the British Parliament, received a standing ovation when he said, “Ukraine has not wanted to become great, but we have become great in the course of this war. We are the country that is saving people despite having to fight one of the biggest armies in the world. We have to fight the helicopters, the rockets. The question for us now is, ‘To be or not to be.’ Oh no, for the last ten days this question could have been asked. But now I can give you a definitive answer. It is definitely ‘yes, to be.’ And I would like to remind you, and the world, what you have already heard, again: We will not give up. And we will not lose. We will fight to the end, at sea and in the air. We will continue fighting for our land whatever the cost. We will fight in the forests, in the fields, on the shores, in the streets…. We will fight on the banks of different rivers … and we are looking for your help, for the help of the civilized countries. We are thankful for this help, and I am very grateful to you, Boris [Johnson, Prime Minister of the U.K.]. Please increase the pressure of sanctions against this country. And please recognize this country [Russia] as a terrorist state. And please make sure that our Ukrainian skies are safe. Be sure that you do what needs to be done, and what is stipulated by the greatness of your country. Best of all to Ukraine and the United Kingdom.” 

How can the West resist this plea? Can the civilized world stand by and merely watch? The alternative, of course, is to risk nuclear war. The Russian government has sternly warned the world to stay out. They have put their nuclear forces on alert. They are ready to launch their missiles. And here is a moral dilemma. Does the West remain comfortable and safe as it watches an entire nation destroyed? 

I am afraid there is no happy answer here. If we do nothing, I must tell you my honest opinion. We will be bombed and attacked when our turn comes. This is something I came to understand long ago. Putin and his communist allies are destroyers, and they seek America’s destruction even more earnestly than they seek Ukraine’s. 

Putin has shown that he is a destroyer, not a creator. The destruction we are now witnessing appears quite insane to us. Yet Putin is not a madman. Destruction is a choice open to all. It is the choice, I believe, of all the totalitarian countries. And we have refused to recognize this. War with these countries has always been in the cards. And if by some miracle we avoid a great war now, it will yet come. 

And for that matter, we have communists right here in America, facilitating the work of destruction, aiding and abetting our enemies in Beijing and Moscow.Watch the death and destruction unleashed on Kiev. There are even more destructive Russian weapons aimed at New York and Washington. If the leaders in Moscow are willing to level the cities of their brother Slavs, do you think they will fail to level our cities?

We have no idea how much danger we are in right now. And we have no idea how much our own survival may depend on the survival of Ukraine.

The Feast of Purim and the victory of our Great God.

Note from the author: I cannot take full credit for this work. I just have a pen and I transcribed the body from memory and edited it. It seemed to make sense because of the strong spiritual battle that is felt every year around this season. BTW. I was born again March 18th 1966, just after my arrival in the US.

Amplified and edited by Jean-Louis Mondon 

Dear brothers and friends,

 

Just a note to remember to keep your mind and heart alert to the stratagems of the enemy during this Purim period that is coming soon, on the 16^th of this month, a few days away. He manifests in the spirit of Amalek who wants to take away from us the victory that we have in the shed blood of our Lord Jesus on the cross.

He will try to put doubts of all kinds in our minds and hearts and cause us to waver in our trust in the goodness, love, mercy and hope, our heritage, the salvation of our Lord. When he is preparing us to receive great blessings in our life and service to Him, this spirit tries to prevent us from keeping our eyes on the Lord and put them on our weaknesses and carnal tendencies.

When the adversary condemns us with these lies, we must agree, but we also have an advocate in Christ, speak the truth and not deny that we are sinners but that He gives us the victory.

Rebuke and tell him that in His sacrifice on the cross God He has forgiven us and now has no power against us because we are loved, redeemed, legitimate and blessed children of our loving Father.

In this sense, we can place ourselves under the authority of the word of God by demonstrating our faith and hope in Him alone.

Below is the list of the 10 sons of Haman who tried to destroy the people of Israel. Their names in the Persian language represent the tendencies of our flesh to glorify and uplift our “I” (ego or self).

I can recognize myself in some and confess, ask the Lord to forgive me for having thought and acted from my selfishness instead of walking in the Spirit. I ask that His strong Spirit kill my flesh and take refuge under his wings, my tower of strength and power. I pray the same for you, his family, your children, Christian friends and brothers in the Church.

Queen Hadassah (Esther) saved the people of Israel, but she also had doubts. But King Xerxes not only hanged Haman, but his ten sons.

Parshandatha: the curious 'I' represents a nosy person

Dalphon: the 'me' crying, self-pity

Aspatha: the assembled “self” self-sufficiency, independence

Poratha: the generous “me” the spender, impulsive purchases for himself

Adalia: the weak “me” feelings of inferiority, shyness, inhibition

Aridatha: the strong “self”, self-confidence

Parmashta: the pre-eminent “ego” ambition, desire to have pre-eminence over others

Arisai: the brazen, daring “me”, insolence, impudence

Aridai: the decorous “I” majestic, stately, superb, haughtiness, sense of superiority

Vairatha: the pure “I'”, claims of moral superiority, self-righteousness, one who considers himself purer than others

My brothers, I pray that the Lord will guide your eyes and your fingers in the word where you can find the promises and scriptures that will give you strength to stand firm in the power and strength of the Spirit in these perilous times.

Now I do not have time to do it for you, but I am sure that you have learned them and that you know where to find the pure waters of life, the spiritual food and the shield of Faith.

May God grant you his peace that may keep your minds and hearts free from fear of the enemy.

Christ the Servant of Jews and Gentile

12And once more, Isaiah says: “The Root of Jesse will appear, One who will arise to rule over the Gentiles; in Him the Gentiles will put their hope.” 13Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you believe in Him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. 14I myself am convinced, my brothers, that you yourselves are full of goodness, brimming with knowledge, and able to instruct one another.…Romans 15:13

Thank you for continuing to pray for me and my family.

Your friend and brother in Christ.

Jean-Louis

Commentary on the Book of Ester by Ray Stedman

An Essential Truth

 Wrritten and published by Jean-Louis Mondon

An Essential Truth.

The cross is the heart of the Gospel and expresses the heart of God, the intentions of the Father toward his estranged creation.

Before Adam was alive, he was just a beautiful sculpture of clay, but then the Creator infused in his nostrils the divine breath of life.

Before encountering Jesus at the cross we are dead like Adam was before he became a living soul. Jesus´dying breath exhaling the words of life “It is finished” provoked the sky, the earth and the temple veil to react in such a violent fashion that people would know something of tremendous proportions had happened.

Before anybody can see clearly the Word of life, the Spirit and what the Holy Word of God, the Bible is, they have to recognize that they are without the heartbeat of God, their heart and their bodies are made up of diverse combinations of chemicals.

So it´s no wonder that they take the Bible for just another book and do not understand the life giving force that is behind the divine breath that brought everything into existence.

Once we recognize the truth that our heart is beating away one more beat from death, then we will accept the cross as being the instrument that brought the reconciliation between God and his creature.

That acknowledgment allows the miracle of the new birth to take place in the womb of the body of Christ in which the seed of God is implanted and brings the birth of life energized by the breath given by the Spirit of the second, perfect Adam.

Our sins that brought us death and kept us away from God and his life are nailed to the cross, literally in the person of the Savior who grants us eternal pardon and erases the guilt and the sentence, death.

Then the resurrection guarantees that this new life will grow into eternity in the presence of our beloved Savior and Lord Jesus Christ the King and Lord over all creation.

What an invitation and what a tragedy for someone to want to cling to death when with one turning of their thought and will in humble recognition of their sinful nature, they could pass form death to life and from darkness to light.

And this is love that He loved us first and gave his life a ransom for men. The price has been paid. Believe, receive and be made new and whole and share your new life with others out of gratitude. Hallelujah. Thank you Jesus.

Bible Prophecy Update – March 6th, 2022

Would Putin use nuclear weapons by Robert 'Bob' Maginnis

· I'm not a prophet but my sources say: "Yes, Putin would use tactical nuclear weapons against NATO." My 2018 book, Alliance of Evil: Russia, China, the United States and a New Cold War, outlines 16 indicators of our new cold war. 

Indicator #9 addresses Putin's threat to use nuclear weapons especially against the Baltics. Below are excerpts from Indictor #9: In 2015, at the Lennart Meri conference, then Estonian President Toomas Hendrik Ilves asked a panel of experts addressing the topic “Thinking the Unthinkable” an important question: Should the barrage of recent Russian nuclear threats be taken seriously or dismissed as mere posturing? A US diplomat named Alexander Vershbow, who was then NATO’s deputy secretary general, responded: “Yes: a short answer is yes.” 

 Russia maintains a giant strategic (nuclear) force. Under the New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START), it is limited to no more than 1,500 deployed warheads on 700 triad platforms. Those platforms include a fleet of bombers (mostly Tu-95 Bear and Tu-160 Blackjack), intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBM) (SS-18, SS-19, SS-25, and expect newer, road-mobile and silo-based systems by 2020) and 10 nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarines. Moscow plans to invest $28 billion by 2020 to update its triad. This nuclear triad has until recently been Russia’s post-Cold War security guarantor, only to be used in a last resort. However, that view seems to be changing, which makes nuclear war more likely. After all, Russia’s new military doctrine anticipates a first use of nuclear weapons “in the event of aggression against the Russian Federation with the use of conventional weapons when the very existence of the state is in jeopardy.” 

Nuclear war also seems to be more likely with President Putin in the Kremlin. Every recent Russian large-scale exercise (such as the 2017 Zapad, “West” along the East European frontier) includes a scenario of a limited nuclear strike against NATO, dubbed Moscow’s “escalation to de-escalate” concept. Instances of simulated nuclear strike exercises are reported to have targeted Warsaw, the Stockholm archipelago, and the Danish island of Bornholm. Moscow’s “escalation to de-escalate” doctrine seems more credible when one considers that Russia has in recent years acquired an edge over NATO in tactical nuclear weaponry, apparently another violation of the 1987 Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty, as well as the means to deliver small nuclear payloads aboard highly accurate cruise missiles. 

That combination of tactical nuclear weapons and greater range, accurate delivery systems makes Russian talk about limited nuclear war scenarios worrisome and believable. The Baltic region of Europe is especially concerned about Russia’s growing regional superiority in conventional forces, anti-access/area denial platforms, and the threat of limited nuclear use. The problem for the West in this region is it relies on a strategy of deterrence, but Russia already has sufficient military posture in place to quickly overwhelm, seize entire small countries (like Estonia and Lithuania), and then defend them against a slow NATO response by issuing credible nuclear threats. 

This is a repeat of an old Cold War confrontation strategy—but worse, if the Russians expect they can limit the use of nuclear weapons. The problem, as former US Deputy Defense Secretary Robert Work testified in 2015, “Anyone who thinks they can control escalation through the use of nuclear weapons is literally playing with fire. Escalation is escalation, and nuclear use would be the ultimate escalation.” But Russia appears to believe it has the upper hand and is ready to use its nuclear arsenal under the right circumstances. A veteran Russian politician indicates that the Kremlin will use nuclear arms if the US or NATO moves against the Crimean Peninsula or eastern Ukraine and, likely, against any future Russian move on the Baltics or other former Soviet satellites. Vyacheslav Alekseyevich Nikonov, a member of the Duma, Russia’s lower house of parliament, told attendees of the 2017 GLOBSEC Bratislava Global Security Forum in Slovakia that “Russian forces would need to utilize some form of nuclear warfare to deter US or NATO forces from invading Russia should they decide to enter Crimea or eastern Ukraine.” “On the issue of NATO expansion on our borders, at some point I heard from the Russian military—and I think they are right—if U.S. forces, NATO forces, are, were, in the Crimea, in eastern Ukraine, Russia is undefendable militarily in case of conflict without using nuclear weapons in the early stage of the conflict,” Nikonov said.

 This view is supported by the Military Doctrine of Russia, which was last updated in 2014. That doctrine states Moscow reserves “the right to use nuclear weapons in response to the use of nuclear and other types of weapons of mass destruction against it and/or its allies, as well as in the event of aggression against the Russian Federation with the use of conventional weapons when the very existence of the state is in jeopardy.”

It is important to understand that Russia developed nuclear capabilities far beyond what is necessary to protect the state and in some rather unexpected ways. Specifically, the Kremlin created an underwater nuclear drone capable of carrying a 100-megaton nuclear warhead, a discovery announced in a leaked draft of the Pentagon’s Nuclear Posture Review. That draft reported by the Huffington Post indicated that the weapon, an autonomous underwater vehicle officially known as Ocean Multipurpose System Status-6 and nicknamed “Kanyon,” was reportedly tested in 2016 after being launched from a Sarov-class submarine. The Kanyon reportedly has a range of 6,200 miles, with a top speed in excess of 56 knots and can dive to 3,280 feet below sea level. Moscow’s growing nuclear arsenal and its evident willingness to do the “unthinkable,” employ that arsenal in a future war, explains the Trump administration’s desire to substantially increase the US’ nuclear stockpile and match some of Russia’s new nuclear capabilities.

Christ´s Return and the Kingdom of God - Dave Hunt

One error in the church is the teaching that earth instead of heaven is the ultimate home for the church, and that her goal is to take over the world and establish the kingdom of God. Only then, it is said, can Christ return—not, however, to take us to His Father's house as He promised His disciples in John 14, but to reign over the Kingdom which we have established for Him. If the real Jesus Christ is going to catch His bride up from earth to meet Him in the air (1 Thessalonians 4:17), then those who work to build a kingdom for a "Christ" whom they will meet with their feet planted on earth have been under heavy delusion indeed. They have been working for the Antichrist. 

One hears about Christ returning only when the church is a unified, vibrant, forceful, spotless, wrinkle-free Bride. There is no scripture to support such teaching. Nor is it logical that Christians who happen to be alive when Christ returns must attain to perfection in order to join (at that heavenly marriage to the Lamb) millions of Christians from past ages who attained to no such perfection at all. The only righteousness that any of us has is that of Christ himself.

Prophecy Update: Russia - Ukraine Crisis

Dance Greeting - Ukrainian Traditional Instrumental Music - Maksim Popichuk

Bukovina folk music and dance - Maksim Popichuk - Ukrainian Sopilka

I want to celebrate what is good and beautiful in threatened and suffering Ukraine that is now threatened by war. Folkloric song and dance are reflective of and an expression of the joy and deep ties to their motherland. This is my homage to the Ukrainian people. We must respect, protect and defend the ethnicity and encourage all countries that are fighting to preserve their ancestral land and customs. Tomorrow it might be our turn. I know what it means to your lose my country because of war. I am an exile myself and I will continue to share my experience by what ever means possible. May the grace, peace and love of God and the Lord Jesus be with you always. Do you know Him? Would you like to?

 Я хочу відзначити те, що є доброго і прекрасного в загрозливій і стражденній Україні, якій зараз загрожує війна. Фольклорна пісня і танець відображають і виражають радість і глибокі зв'язки з рідною батьківщиною. Це моя шана українському народу. Ми повинні поважати, захищати та захищати етнічну приналежність і заохочувати всі країни, які борються за збереження землі та звичаїв своїх предків. Завтра може бути наша черга. Я знаю, що це означає для вашої втрати моєї країни через війну. Я сам є вигнанцем, і я буду продовжувати ділитися своїм досвідом будь-якими можливими способами. Нехай благодать, мир і любов Бога і Господа Ісуса завжди будуть з вами. Ти його знаєш?
