EZEKIEL'S WAR GETTING CLOSER

RUSSIANS MAKE BID FOR JERUSALEM


Russians Bidding for Control in Downtown Jerusalem (IsraelNN.com) If current negotiations with the Russians succeed, a large complex in central Jerusalem will be handed over to control of the Russian government.
The area in question is part or all of what is known as the Russian Compound, so named because it was built and once owned by the Russian government. It was originally constructed as one of the first complexes outside the Old City of Jerusalem, for the purpose of housing the thousands of Christian Russian pilgrims who wished to visit the holy city.
Though the 17-acre area in the heart of Jerusalem, between Jaffa, HaNeviim, and Shivtei Yisrael Streets, was once a bustling center with impressively-built structures, it now is used largely as a courthouse and detention center. The Russian government has of late informed various Israeli Prime Ministers that it would like to reclaim the area - at a price of $100 million.
Secret TalksNegotiations have been underway during the regimes of Ehud Barak, Ariel Sharon, and Ehud Olmert - very secretly, so as not to arouse the expected storm of public protest.

EZEKIEL Chapters 38 and 39 tell of the ungodly, satanic northern alliance which will attempt to annihilate Israel in the near future will meet its demise on the mountains of Israel. It is believed that this alliance will involve Russia, even though Russia is not mentioned in the text of Ezekiel Chapter 38, and Iran, united with the hostile arab enemies surrounding Israel today as outlined in Ezekiel Chapter 38, and of whom we hear about on the news daily. These evil conspirators are unaware that IT IS GOD who draws them toward their own demise. Those nations which seek to harm Israel will reap their own destruction under the hand of GOD'S judgement.

Ezekiel 38:16 reads:
"And thou shalt come up against MY People of Israel as a cloud to cover the Land:it shall be in the latter days,and I WILL BRING THEE against MY LAND, That the Heathen may KNOW ME when I SHALL BE SANCTIFIED in thee O GOG, before their eyes''

The Iskander Threat
On Tuesday, May 29, 2007 Russia tested a modernized version of the Iskander-M tactical cruise missile. The Iskander, a kind of TBM (tactical ballistic missile) which has a 280 km range and carries a 480-kilo warhead, is considered one of the most advanced surface missiles in the world. Information has reached Israel that President Vladimir Putin is willing to sell the Iskander missiles to Syria, although no delivery date has been set. This constitutes a qualitatively new threat to Israel.

Iskander is the Arabic version of the name Alexander. In the fourth century BC, Alexander conquered much of the Middle East, including the Levant and Israel. It would be natural, then, for Arab militants to put their hopes in this symbolic missile. American officials eye the Iskander with great concern, believing it to be capable of striking the interceptors and radar station that America plans to deploy in Poland and the Czech Republic to shield Europe from Iranian missile attack.

It is insane, of course, for Putin to sell this missile to terror sponsoring state such as Syria. It clearly demonstraates that he is an enemy of the West and of Israel. Putin is ultimately taking Russia back to a pre-communist tzarism, with himself as the new Tzar. Israel’s worry is that the new missile, if sold to Syria, would allow that state to mount a surprise attack on Israel undetected.

The Iskander has a high capability for escaping detection and for pinpoint precision against small targets. The system can interact with space reconnaissance and unmanned aircraft. Both Israel and the United States will be watching further developments and tests of the Iskander in the coming months.

Ezekiel's War is getting closer and will soon become a reality, just as the prophet of God, Ezekiel prophesied thousands of years ago. You can trust God's Word to be true.
Jesus said, "I am the Way, the Truth and the Life; No one comes to the Father but by me." Jesus Christ is the only one that can save you as the enemies of Israel and the Jewish people prepare to attack His beloved Israel and the people of Israel. If you have not repented of your sins and put your trust in Jesus Christ, I urge you to do so now, while there is still time, and follow Him, the one true God and Messiah of Israel and the world.
