Lots of msm press now about Ukraine not having time to get tanks.
NYT especially.
β‘π·πΊπΊπ¦ The first stages of the Russian offensive have already begun. Ukrainian military says Bakhmut, a city in eastern Ukraine that Russian troops have been trying to capture since the summer, is likely to fall soon - New York Times.
β‘πΊπ¦π·πΊ Time is not on the side of the Kiev regime. Breedlove, the former Supreme Commander of NATO, warned the Western public about this when talking about the prospects for confrontation with Russia.
In his opinion, Ukraine simply will not have time to get the heavy weapons it needs in the event of another powerful offensive by the RF Armed Forces.
“The timing of deliveries will definitely not match the Russian offensive if it starts,” Breedlove said in an interview with CNN.
“America is not mentioned in Biblical prophecy.”
Maybe, maybe not.
“The two wings of the great eagle” and any other references to eagle can be taken as references to America. Camp of the saints can be taken that way also. Then also, if Russia is the beast then who is the whore of Babylon? Ukraine possibly? So then who is Babylon? The woman with the cup full of fornications? The great city who rules over the kings of the earth? There is only one place on earth where those images are anywhere near valid, and it is New York City (the United Nations, the Statue of Liberty). Also New York City has already been the focus of Biblical events in recent times.
In my view, America is similar to Israel, as in this analogy: Israel is to Jehovah as America is to Christ. And both can turn against their patrons. Both have on various occasions. Yet both retain the protection if they repent.
In the modern paradigm, only (about) half of America has turned against Christ and the other half long for His return to resolve these matters, for who else can? Even the champion Trump apparently cannot, or at least so far is unable to stop Satan’s dominion over America.
If there is any source of opposition to globalism in this world, it is not really Putin’s faction in Russia because they just want to replace globalist evil with an evil of their own design, one with roots in an older form of globalism, Soviet communism. I am not one who believes that modern Russia has totally rejected Soviet communism; I see many signs that both Putin and the majority of the Russian people want to re-instate Soviet communism perhaps with a state religion this time instead of atheism. Maybe they sincerely believe God is on their side; I can’t see God being on the side of murderous thugs and corrupt oligarchs.
But the same can be said of “the great city” and it is there that the battle will take place. Even Armageddon itself may be more symbolic than literal, but in geopolitical terms a battle involving America could happen in northern Israel as described, in literal terms. So the idea that the end times “only” involve certain countries is false, there is no way that if Russian backed countries (and perhaps Russia itself) attack Israel, that Israel would have to fight them alone. One of the old testament prophets, Jeremiah I think, speaks of the “four carpenter nations” which sounds like NATO allies of Israel (in a future alliance, not saying this alliance currently exists in a formal sense). You could say perhaps USA, UK, France and one other, several candidates come to mind, Germany, Italy, Canada etc.
Also somebody might say China is not mentioned in Biblical prophecy but then who is the great red dragon? And that’s another paradigm involving America. Christ battles beast, dragon and false prophet, after beast and whore of Babylon have their battle (which perhaps goes as far as the beast attacking Babylon).
Every component of the Biblical stage is there, whether it comes to fruition in our time or not remains to be seen. We cannot know the hour or the day, but we can see that the stage is set.
Trying to fool Putin over Minsk II was a bad idea for a lot of reasons. The most immediate being he was not fooled.
