Report: Russia tracking IDF movements
Jerusalem Post ^ | 1-25-2007 | Yaakov KatzK& Herb Keinon

Posted on 01/26/2007 3:19:12 AM PST by M. Espinola

Russia maintains listening posts along the Syrian border with Israel which it uses to follow IDF movements in the Golan Heights, it was revealed Thursday night.

According to a report on Channel 2, the posts are manned by Russian military officers who pass on information to Hizbullah in Lebanon. Israel, The Jerusalem Post learned, has known about the posts for over a decade since they were established.

Russia's involvement in the Iranian nuclear program, as well as various state-of-the-art arms sales it has periodically made to both Syria and Iran, has caused some friction over the last few years in Russian-Israeli ties.

Diplomatic officials said that the while Prime Minister Ehud Olmert discussed with the Russians during his visit to Moscow in October the advanced Russian arms that were found in Hizbullah's possession during the summer's war in Lebanon, the issue of the listening posts was not brought up.

Russia most recently drew Israeli ire after completing a sale of advanced anti-aircraft missiles to Iran earlier this month.

Russia has been involved with hezbolah since way back. They have always supported them along with syria and Iran.

It high time Washington woke up and viewed Putin's Kremlin in the same light as Iran and Syria - the enemy.

The Russians are their own worst enemy. Their economy is in the toliet, the infrastructure is decaying, their political structure is rotting from corruption, yet they just can't resist the urge to pretend that they're still the Soviet Union.

The moment Hezbolla attacks again, those "Russian" listening posts should be the first things hit by the IDF aircraft fired missles; and those hits should be making the widest and most deepest possible application of what is considered the "targets" in the area of those listening posts.

Exactly. No one can fault them for acting in their own national interests. But this behavior is exactly opposite to their national interests. The last thing they need is to build up rogue states and fanatical Islamists on their own borders, and arm them with nuclear weapons. Yet that seems to be their aim.

Meantime, Russia itself is decaying from within. If they don't fix that, they will doom themselves to extinction.

This is worse than the kind of corruption that plagued Russia under the Tsars. Back then at least they had energy and courage, and were building an empire and fending off the Muslim threat. Now, they are in a state of demographic implosion, and are welcoming in their own destroyers.

No surprise.

Scripture was on top of such Russian goals 2,000 + years ago.

Russia will do whatever the leaders think is best for Russia. If it becomes expedient to terminate their relationships with Iran they would do so. Half of what they do, they do to shaft us IMO.

Signs in the Heavens

Psalm 19

1 The heavens declare the glory of God; And the firmament shows His handiwork.
2 Day unto day utters speech, And night unto night reveals knowledge.
3 There is no speech nor language Where their voice is not heard.
4 Their line has gone out through all the earth, And their words to the end of the world.

Patterns: There’s a great movie titled Pi, Faith in Chaos. The protagonist Max Cohen is a mathematician who meets an Orthodox Jew and gets introduced to Kabbalah. He makes this enlightening statement several times in the movie.

Restate my assumptions:

1. Mathematics is the language of nature

2. Everything around us can be represented and understood through numbers

3. If you graph the numbers of any system, patterns emerge

Therefore, there are patterns everywhere in nature

Max Cohen
Pi – Faith in Chaos

These patterns echo from one end of the universe to the other, here’s a few.

***

Constellation: Leo

Fixed star: REGULUS Cor Leonis, Kalb

It was one of the four stars of the ancient Persian monarchy, in 3000 BC, when as watcher of the north it marked the summer solstice. It was seen as one of the Four Guardians of Heaven; one who regulated all things in the heavens; sentinels watching over other stars. This was from the belief that it ruled the affairs of the heavens; a belief current, till three centuries ago, from at least 3000 years before our era.

This is one of the four key stars in the heavens, also called archangel stars, assigning;

Tasoheter - Michael (Aldebaran) watcher of the East;
Satevis - Oriel (Antares) Watcher of the West;
Hastorang - Gabriel (Fomalhaut) watcher of the South;
Venant - Raphael The Healing Archangel (Regulus) Watcher of the North.

They have been characterized as Horses, reflected both in the famed Four Horsemen of Apocalypse (Revelations 6) and Chariot Horses in the Book of Zechariah.

Clip:

An old saying goes that Regulus in the 10th house 'makes astrologers to kings. people in high positions and noble men'. Naturally not everyone who has this configuration will make a 'Royal Astrologer' even if he has the necessary knowledge and capabilities. But with Frau Ebertin, this rule was borne out. During the first world war, her book 'Royal Nativities' was published. There followed commissions from royal houses and ruling industrialists (listed in the book Fixed Stars and their Interpretations by Ebertin-Hoffman). Elsbeth Ebertin studied historical events with the planetary configurations in each case and came to the follow conclusion; "when Mars or Saturn are in conjunction with Regulus, especially exciting events are always recorded e.g. assassinations, coup detat, revolutions, revolts, demonstrations, overthrow of heads of state and similar events". (Ebertin).

http://www.winshop.com.au/annew/Regulus.html

Saturn is now in Leo, and what’s more in September it dances with Regulus the entire month.

Side note: the new moon skirts Spica (in Virgo) September 14, 2007 (Rosh HaShana) while Saturn conjuncts with Regulus.

September also starts off the fall Festivals of YHVH, Rosh HaShana, Yom Kippur and Sukkot. All three festivals are noted in Joel 2.

15 Blow the trumpet in Zion, (Rosh HaShana) declare a holy fast, (Yom Kippur) call a sacred assembly.
16 Gather the people, consecrate the assembly; (Shemini Atzeret) bring together the elders, gather the children, those nursing at the breast. Let the bridegroom leave his room and the bride her chamber.

***

The main theme of Joel 2 is The Day of The LORD, (Yom HaShem) AKA global thermonuclear war.

Malachi 4

The Day of the LORD

1 "Surely the day is coming; it will burn like a furnace. All the arrogant and every evildoer will be stubble, and that day that is coming will set them on fire," says the LORD Almighty. "Not a root or a branch will be left to them. 2 But for you who revere my name, the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its wings. And you will go out and leap like calves released from the stall. 3 Then you will trample down the wicked; they will be ashes under the soles of your feet on the day when I do these things," says the LORD Almighty.

***

The words ‘with healing’ in Hebrew are, Mem Reish Pei Alef, (with healing), note that Reish Pei Alef are the first three letters in the name Raphael [The Healing Archangel (Regulus) Watcher of the North]. That’s a match, just connecting the dots.

Also:

Matthew 24

Signs of the End of the Age

32 “Now learn this parable from the fig tree: When its branch has already become tender and puts forth leaves, you know that summer is near. 33 So you also, when you see all these things, know that it is near—at the doors! 34 Assuredly, I say to you, this generation will by no means pass away till all these things take place. 35 Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away.

***

The fig tree put forth it’s leaves in the Six Day War (1967) 40 years ago in this year, (this generation).

***

Matthew 16

The Demand for a Sign

1 The Pharisees and Sadducees came to Yeshua and tested him by asking him to show them a sign from heaven.

2 He replied, "When evening comes, you say, 'It will be fair weather, for the sky is red,' 3 and in the morning, 'Today it will be stormy, for the sky is red and overcast.' You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but you cannot interpret the signs of the times. 4 A wicked and adulterous generation looks for a miraculous sign, but none will be given it except the sign of Jonah." Yeshua then left them and went away.

2 Kings 14:25 He was the one who restored the boundaries of Israel from Lebo Hamath to the Sea of the Arabah, in accordance with the word of the LORD, the God of Israel, spoken through his servant Jonah son of Amittai, the prophet from Gath Hepher.

***

Sign of the prophet Jonah, the restored borders of Israel.

The secret of YHVH is with them that are in a state of awe, and the covenant is to those that are informed. Psalm 25:14

What more can I say, other than Enjoy the summer!

Some cousins from my father's side come got out of the Ukraine about 15 years ago. Among many other things, I asked them what they thought about the end of the Cold War and the new political situation in the old Soviet Union. I was told flat out that there was an old Russian saying about new people in charge: "New wallpaper, same old wall."

Putin is just another Commie dictator who doesn't happen to publicly call himself a Commie. He's as anti-US, anti-Israeli and anti-Jewish as any SOB who ran the Soviet Union...and we should deal with **this** SOB the same way.

Israel should find some way (whether electronic or explosive) to neutralize the listening posts. Of course, that'd require the guy in charge of Israel to have a functioning brain and a spine.
