Thanks for your valued comments (and links) in response to my recent email.
I have been further looking into what is currently happening in Ukraine, and discovered some more material I and most of us were unaware of:
1) The BATTLE OF THE DNIEPER was one of the great battles of WW2, where the Red Army defeated Hitler’s Wehrmacht September – December 1943. Interestingly, this time next year will be the 70th Anniversary of the event. Currently, as Russia is withdrawing its troops to the East Bank, her military is following an exact step by step process of how they defeated the Germans during WW2. The only difference now is where the German Nazis were trying to defeat Russia in WW2, now it is the whole world.
2) Anyone who reads the prophecies in the Bible about the “latter days on earth” – leading up to the “battle at Armageddon” will know that there is a “King of fierce countenance” also referred to as the “King of the north” or “northern army,” “Gog and Magog” etc. “who comes from the ends of the earth in the north of Israel” who God is going to use AS HIS PERSONAL SERVANT to punish apostate Israel and the apostate Christian nations. This nation, with her allies, cannot be any other nation than Russia.
3) The first fulfillment of this “northern army” and “king of the north” as prophesied by Jeremiah was Nebuchadnezzar, King of Babylon. Under wicked Zedekiah, King of Israel, the nation rebelled against Nebuchadnezzar and apart from the Jews who supported the Babylonian King, the rest were brutally slaughtered and their temple in Jerusalem desolated. God told Jeremiah that of the Jews who did not rebel, they would be taken to dwell in Babylon, where 70 YEARS WOULD BE ACCOMPLISHED, before they would be let go.
4) The second fulfillment of the prophecies of this “northern army” was the Roman army under General Titus, who came from the north, and desolated Jerusalem and burned the temple in Jerusalem in 70 years AD. Again, those Godly Jews who believed Jeremiah and later Jesus, who didn’t rebel against Titus, were saved when Titus withdrew his troops for 3.5 days, allowing these people to escape to the mountains. ONLY THOSE WHO REBELLED were either annihilated or dispersed into the four corners of the earth for their sins. According to Josephus in WARS OF THE JEWS, during this time many Jews in Jerusalem actually reverted to cannibalism in that they were starving to such an extent, exactly as God through his holy prophets had predicted in Jeremiah.
5) The THIRD FULFILLMENT is UKRAINE, but this time it is affecting the whole world. Identical to the period when wicked Jewish King Zedekiah ruled, wicked Jewish President Zelenski and the Jews surrounding him running the Ukrainian Government, in rebelling against Russia the king of the north, are mobilizing the whole world AGAINST GOD’S SERVANT. And identical to those Jews who rebelled against Nebuchadnezzar, God told Jeremiah to write down PRECISELY what was going to happen to them – that God would punish all of them with the king of the north’s sword, create horrendous FAMINE and PESTILENCE. (Jeremiah 27:6-8 KJV).
6) In Revelation (9:16-18 KJV), leading up to the battle at ARMAGEDDON in Israel (Revelation 16:16 KJV), there is an army of 200 million controlled by the king of the north, Russia, that kills ONE THIRD of mankind through war.
7) SHANGHAI COOPERATION ORGANIZATION (SCO) JOINT MILITARY OPERATIONS: This 200 million strong army predicted in Revelation 9:16-18, is led by Russia, is in the early stages of its creation and development, NOW!
