Not so big on cable anymore, we're not hearing a lot about what's going on in Georgia the last few days. That's a good thing, because we can now focus on good news and other current events, such as the Olympics. But it should in no way let us think that it's over.
Russia is still playing the "we're the good guys here" game. They began pulling out of Georgia yesterday (Monday) and should supposedly be across the South Ossetia borders completely by Friday. Supposedly. But wait, shouldn't this have happened like 2 weeks ago, when they agreed to a ceasefire that said both sides had to pull back immediately?
Anyway Russia still claims that Georgia is guilty of genocide or something (quote: "... using the most terrible solution -- by exterminating an entire people"), with Russian President Dmitry Medvedev calling Georgia's leaders "morons". I'm in no position to say whether this is true or not, but he also said that they "not to let this crime go unpunished."
Meanwhile, some time ago Iran successfully completed long-range missile testing. They had no warheads it seems but they're testing, meaning they're preparing for something.
According to the Bible, Russia and Iran will form an alliance against Israel. Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has vowed to wipe Israel "off the map". This is particularly interesting knowing Russia and Iran's current nuclear and arms alliance. Iran (and Russia) certainly have the capability to wage the kind of war that Ahmadinejad wants, and it's the big War of Gog and Magog that the Bible has spoken about in Ezekiel 38 (where Magog is what they called Russia, and Gog is their "prince"). It sounds like wishful thinking to some, where Christians and those who study the Bible are just connecting crooked invisible dots trying to make it seem like it's coming true even if it isn't (kinda like what many people are doing about Nostradamus' prophecies).
But here's what's funny. And I'm not afraid to say this right now. This war will happen, and it will happen soon. And according to the Bible, Israel will stand alone against the biggest coalition ever assembled including Russia, Iran and other Muslim and Arabic countries around it (except Egypt and Iraq, whom we believe will not take part in this war, if we're understanding the Bible correctly). It's hard to believe now, knowing how protective America is of her allies, especially Israel, and how quickly America jumps into wars that threaten world peace. But America will not help Israel in that war. Who knows why, but the Bible says nobody will help Israel. My guess is America will be trying to avoid all-out nuclear war with Russia and Iran, which would've happened anyway because Iran wants to wipe America (a.k.a., the "Big Satan" while Israel is the "Little Satan") off the map as well. That or the American troops will be in no shape to wage war after just having completed duty in Iraq and Afghanistan. I don't really know. The Bible doesn't detail that.
What I do know is that this war will be big. And Israel will have nobody to turn to, because nobody will help. Then God will show himself and obliterate all of Israel's enemies. And when (not "if") this happens, we will know for sure that the Bible is true, and people will be searching for God. God even details how he'll destroy them, including shaking the earth (not sure if God meant an earthquake per se), and a rain of fire. And no this won't come from Israel's allies. The whole purpose of God's doing this is so that the world will see that the God of Israel is very much real.
Anyway just tossing those things up there. Just so that we know I published these things well before they take place. So when they happen, everybody that was skeptic about the Bible will have something to drop their jaws about. I'm no prophet, nor are any of my sources aside from Ezekiel himself. We're just people who look at the Bible and the world and connect the real dots.
