Proof The Bible Is True

IS GOD USING RUSSIA TO PUNISH UKRAINE?

Before I get to the spiritual, let me recount the political realities.

In my last WND article I explained how Biden/Obama and the globalists set up Putin with a reverse “Cuban Missile Crisis” to have no choice but neutralize Ukraine militarily. In another recent article  I explained WHY they did it: America’s domestic crises are so bad for the Democrats and RINOs they desperately need a distraction. (And it’s working, judging by the almost total lack of public interest in the massive US Trucker Convoy rolling toward DC).

In both articles I said a Russian war in Ukraine would also provide cover and a scapegoat (Putin) for their “great collapse” of the world economy in preparation for the “great reset” planned probably for this Spring, but perhaps later because the primary goal is solidification of Marxist control of the US in 2022 and 2024. (Cutting off Russian banks from the SWIFT international financial transaction network may well be the trigger to that collapse considering that Russia has the 12th largest economy in the world.)

But explaining WHY military action was necessary on Russia’s part does not equate to cheer-leading. Acknowledgment of geopolitical realities is not an endorsement of war or callousness toward its tragedies.

Very importantly, we must remember that the Ukrainian people are pawns in a US/Russia proxy war, the blame for which falls squarely on Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton, George Soros and a host of major players of the hard left (including the neo-con RINOs). They are the true culprits who first staged an anti-Russian coup in 2014 to take over Ukraine, and then proceeded to plunder it like drunken pirates while at the same time goading and manipulating the Ukrainians into taking a dangerous and unnecessary hard-line stance against Russia on the false promise that the US military had their back.

It was also these US interlopers who backed an arguably genocidal civil war pitting Ukrainian nationalists against the ethnic Russian separatists in the Donbass region that borders Russia. The US media has not covered that war because if doesn’t fit the narrative.

Now, let me put on my pastoral hat to look at the spiritual side

I have not just sympathy but love for the Ukrainian people. I did a mission tour in Ukraine in 2007 where I preached in churches in Kiev and Dnepropetrovsk, fellowshipped with many Christian brothers and sisters, did media interviews and held pro-family seminars. It was a deeply rewarding visit. When I returned from that trip I served for a year on the pastoral staff of a Russian-speaking church of mostly Ukrainian immigrants.

This history gives me a special insight on the spiritual cause of Ukraine’s national crisis. Let me introduce that topic by quoting the head of UK’s Secret Intelligence Service (MI6):

“With the tragedy and destruction unfolding so distressingly in Ukraine, we should remember the values and freedoms that distinguish us from Putin, none more than LGBT+ rights.”

Truer words were never spoken about the difference between Christian Russia and the US-created Ukrainian Woke-ocracy that rebuffed President Trump when he tried to help untangle the Biden web of criminality there.

Even in 2007, under the George W. Bush administration there was a major push to turn Ukraine into an LGBT haven. At the very same time that I was holding pro-family seminars with Ukrainian Christians, an Elton John concert was being heavily advertised in Kiev with open references to his LGBT political agenda.

A couple of years after the Obama/Soros coup, I was invited to go back to Ukraine to lead a pro-family strategy conference. It was the only time in my life I turned down such an invitation. It was because I felt a strong sense in my spirit that the US political network in the country would somehow “take me out” if I went there. I felt like Paul being told by the Holy Spirit in Acts 16:6 not to go to Asia, so I declined.

Between the time of my 2007 visit and the 2014 coup, the Ukraine government moved steadily to the pro-family side. The Christian values of family proved stronger than Elton John’s LGBT propaganda. After Russia passed it’s national ban on “gay” propaganda to children in 2013 (something I had advocated for in my tour of Russia), Ukraine was one of five countries I was then tracking because political leaders were talking about adopting the same law in Ukraine. Then, of course, Obama turned 180 degrees against Russia and his US/Russia “reset plan” that had been aggressively touted by Hillary Clinton’s State Department for several years.

I contend that was when the Obama team decided to re-start the cold war and make Russia an international pariah, starting with LGBT public-relations sabotage of the Sochi Olympics in February of 2014, and escalating with the Ukraine coup. I sent and published a letter to President Putin in August of 2013 predicting that Russia would be targeted because of the ban. Once in US hands, Ukraine dropped all efforts to pass the ban.

I went to Moscow in late 2013 to attend the planning session for a major international pro-family conference that was to have been held, literally, in the Kremlin. We got a private tour of its conference facilities and several of the seven Orthodox cathedrals on Red Square. My sole purpose in attending that meeting was to promote the group’s endorsement of the Russian “gay” propaganda ban as a policy objective for every country that would be attending the conference. The issue was made moot when the Ukrainian coup and its intended Russian reaction (i.e. annexing the Crimea) caused the conference to be cancelled.

I believe it was the choice by Ukraine’s leadership to embrace the LGBT agenda and reject the family values of its Christian and Orthodox Jewish heritage that caused God to withdraw His hand of protection from the nation. It is the same cause and effect relationship that has led to America’s descent into Marxist tyranny, like so many other countries in the western world.

In His word, God has warned humanity that the widespread normalization of homosexuality is the chief harbinger of His wrath.**

As the “gay” activist said: “we should remember the values and freedoms that distinguish us from Putin, none more than LGBT+ rights.” Indeed we should, because on the critical spiritual issue of “LGBT rights,” Russia is on God’s side and Ukraine is on the side of Sodom, along with all the countries likely to come to Ukraine’s aid if this thing spins off into WWIII.

My prayer is for God to spare the Ukrainian people but overthrow the corrupt Ukrainian government and replace it with a healthy pro-family one. I pray the same for America.

The Storm before the Calm

For several months I have been predicting that the globalists will stage a “great collapse” this winter as a set-up for the “great reset.” I am writing this article in the very early hours of February 24th as live-fire military conflict begins in Ukraine. The corporate media is spinning this conflict as unprovoked Russian aggression, but it’s really a logical Russian reaction to deliberate un-ignorable provocation by the Biden/Obama administration. Biden has created this crisis both to deflect attention from serious political trouble at home, and to create a scapegoat for the “great collapse,” which I believe is imminent.

The start of this mess was Joe Biden’s sudden, arbitrary and unilateral push to fold Ukraine into NATO, essentially to put anti-Russian nukes on the Russian border. It was the political, geographical and diplomatic equivalent of the Cuban Missile Crisis in reverse, with Vladimir Putin in the role of JFK.

Ukraine didn’t ask for this. The European powers did not ask for it — and in fact Germany is in very the last stages of approving their already built and much-desired Nordstrean 2 oil pipeline to double the flow of Russian oil and gas to Europe via Germany. Some even suggest that stopping this pipeline is the real goal of the Biden administration because US influence in Europe would diminish as Russia’s grew — but I think this is only one contributing factor in a much larger strategy. (Political realities have forced Germany to suspend the pipeline approval — for now — but I suspect it will open as scheduled in April after things have calmed down a bit.)

Setting up Russia to have essentially no choice but to respond militarily was exactly what Obama, Biden, Clinton and Soros did in 2014 with their coup to remove Ukraine’s pro-Russian president and replace him with an Obama puppet. As I’ve said many times before, that coup — especially regarding the Crimean Peninsula and its centuries-long military importance to Russia — was the geo-political equivalent of Russia taking Hawaii away from the US. We would never accept that. To protect his legitimate national interests Putin had no choice but to annex that territory, an action which was overwhelmingly ratified by the mostly ethnic and culturally Russian inhabitants.

Smug and smarmy LGBT zealot Barack Obama (who had come to hate Putin with a deep burning passion for banning “gay” propaganda to children nationally in 2013) set up these events like a row of dominos: planning from the very start to accuse Russia of military aggression. That military “aggression” was then used both to re-start the cold war and justify US military intervention in Ukraine as a pretext for plundering it. That kicked off a campaign of Mafia-style piracy — a “protection racket” on an national scale — which was, of course, headed by Joe Biden (the big guy) in the role of Tony Soprano with son Hunter serving as his in-country head Capo.

Also in consequence of the Obama coup, two other less strategic but strongly culturally aligned Ukrainian “oblasts” or “states” (Donetsk and Luhansk) declared independence, triggering an on-and-off civil war that continued to the present. When, this month, Biden rejected Russia’s demand for a promise that Ukraine would NOT become a base for anti-Russian nukes, Putin’s predictable decision was to formally recognize Donetsk and Luhansk as independent countries, and to enter into mutual defense agreements. That, from the Russian perspective, justifies the current military incursion into these two states including the offensive assault on Ukraine airports, weapons and military infrastructure.

Geographically Donetsk borders Russia and has a stretch of coastline on the Sea of Azov (with access to the Black Sea) close to Crimea. Luhansk is immediately north of Donetsk and also borders Russia. The two states/countries now essentially form a friendly buffer zone for Russia between itself and US-controlled Ukraine. The Putin strategy copies what the US has done in the Baltics and other places, and is thus legally comparable to similar US actions under international law. I predict the international community will eventually recognize these states as nations.

The world’s attention is now riveted on Ukraine, as the Biden/Obama administration intended, and, even before the outbreak of hostilities, the US media this week began blaming our domestic crises on the Ukraine/Russia conflict. The US elites now have their distraction and their scapegoat in the form of a Russian Bear, which most Americans (even far too many conservatives who should know better) still think of in Cold War terms.

President Trump, who would never have gotten into this situation in the first place, will be the main beneficiary of this crisis IF the MAGA movement keeps its eye on the prize of retaking the country and doesn’t get caught up in anti-Russian jingoism. We may see American deaths in Ukraine (where we have had special forces personnel all along), triggering a pre-set full court media blitz to gin up patriotic furor amidst a call to “rally behind our president,” with accusations of treason if we don’t. (The anti-war movement will stay curiously silent at best, or join the war chorus at worst). We may see some sort of false flag event on our soil blamed on Russia — my best guess is a cyber attack on our energy grid in the northern states. I have argued that Obama staged the now-forgotten fake power shutdown in Vermont in 2017 as part of a plot to start a hot war with Russia during the Obama/Trump transition — so there is precedent for this.

Through all of this, never forget the blame belongs to Biden!

In any case, if there is going to be a “great collapse,” now is the time. If I’m right, the crisis will be short-lived so the “great reset” can be launched this Spring. But war could “spiral out of control” as well (accidentally or by design) and drag out the process much longer. Either way, it’s all about the US 22 and 24 elections — on which hangs the fate of the world.

BUT we know that this world — and our lives — are in the hands of our Savior, Jesus Christ whose own plans will not be thwarted. Whatever those plans may be, we can trust HIM!!
