The Burden of Damascus: the balance of power has shifted.
As the JV team in Washington trips over their own feet the Obama regime and their NATO conspirators have been outmaneuvered by a lesser power as Putin puts Americas metal to the test by outflanking them at every corner. This puts Israel as the backseat driver and Putin knows it.
Russia has moved with blitzkrieg speed to effectively invade and grab huge areas of Syrian territory operating relatively unimpaired with no threats to speak of in the region. Operating out of their base in Latakia, Russia has used their air-force to obliterate and diminish ISIS control and influence in Syria. ISIS are running like scared cockroaches back across the border to friendlier digs in Iraq where they still have allegiance in smaller towns. Putin has done more to downgrade and defeat ISIS in just a matter of months, unlike America, Britain, and France have managed to do in over a year.
The Bear is Hungry
Russias economy is busted thanks to world sanctions over the Ukraine invasion. Russias population has remained stagnant since after World War Two when Stalin murdered over 60 million of his own countrymen while he was in a delusional state. Their population has never recovered, it remains at around 147 million to this day. This has left Putin, the crack KGB agent, to seek riches in other lands and what better place than Syria. The full scale invasion has left Russia there for the long term and each day that passes solidifies their grip on this strategically important country.
With a doomed economy Russia does not have the money for a long term foreign military invasion. Its aims in Syria have become transparent. Putin no longer pretends to be in Syria to back his old buddy Bashir al-Assad or destroy ISIS as many dim wit pundits have stated. Putin is there to build a platform to attack the region because that is where the oil is. They are simply pacifying Syria in order to get a better foothold to launch their rockets from and destroy anyone who objects. No doubt at some point in the future they will attempt to pillage Israel too because Israel has oil off the coast and has just found oil in the Golan Heights.
Prophetic Implications
With the friendly invasion of Syria to back Assad, Russia has clear and unmistakable prophetic implications, but not as significant as another stunning development. Putin has moved the S300 & S400 mobile missile interception platforms into Syria recently; this has direct consequences for Israel and its potential to fulfill specific Bible prophecy.
The Burden of Damascus Prophecy
Behold, Damascus is taken away from being a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap
And behold at eveningtide trouble; and before the morning he is not. This is the portion of those who loot us, the lot of those who plunder us. (Isaiah 17:1, 17:14) Who are the ones who loot and plunder her? What country has invaded? Do you trust the Russians to do the right thing? Do you know who Putin is? We must remember Damascus is a three thousand year old city that has never been destroyed or conquered with over a million people living there. This prophecy then is future tense. This introduction of this missile to the battlefield in Syria moves the fulfillment of the prophecy of the Burden of Damascus further forward bringing it closer to being realized.
Israel is the Apple of Gods Eye
Psalms 83 is a prediction of many nations attacking Israel from many directions like happened in 1967. Israel learned a lesson then and will not be taken by surprise again. This coming war scripture says will be a short protracted war and Israel will have advance knowledge of the plans.
Looking at the road ahead, Israel is on the verge of a preemptive strike on Irans nuclear facilities. It is likely that this strike will either initiate this war or start a chain reaction of events that will quickly lead to this war.
The Bible tells us that the nation of Israel accomplishes all the prerequisites for the War of Gog & Magog via a military solution. In victory, they will become primed for the future events of the Russian-Iranian coalition destined to form against them. At the conclusion of this war [the war preceding the War of Gog & Magog known as the Psalm 83 War], Israels conquest over the inner circle of the surrounding Arab populations of Palestinians, Syrians, Saudi Arabians, Egyptians, Lebanese, and Jordanians will see Israels borders enlarged, prosperity increased, and national stature remarkably enhanced.
Ezekiel 28:24-26
24 - No longer will the people of Israel have malicious neighbors who are painful briers and sharp thorns. Then they will know that I am the Sovereign LORD. 25 - This is what the Sovereign LORD says: When I gather the people of Israel from the nations where they have been scattered, I will show myself holy among them in the sight of the nations. Then they will live in their own land, which I gave to my servant Jacob. 26 - They will live there in safety and will build houses and plant vineyards; they will live in safety when I inflict punishment on all their neighbors who maligned them. Then they will know that I am the LORD their God.
Simply paraphrased: Yes, they will dwell securely when I [God] execute judgments on all those [Arab Nations] around them who despise them. The Bible tells us that the national security Israel so desperately seeks today occurs via the judgments executed on all those around them who despise them
Those problems for Israel are indeed something that they will defeat. Though the S300 & S400 surface to air mobile missile batteries are sophisticated and the most deadly on earth, scripture states it will be defeated.
Russian S300 & S400 Have Been Seen
It is common knowledge that Russia has been shipping into Syria substantial numbers of S300s, what is less well known is that they have been augmenting these with the inclusion of the upgraded variant, the S400. Experts describe these as scary weapons, for good reason.
In the face of these weapons America, Britain, France and Israels trillion dollar fighter programs are completely obsolete. Even Americas brand new $500 million F-35 stealth fighter cannot defeat the S400.
This is prophetic for the following, chilling reason; because Israel lacks strategic depth and is too narrow, if the Russians placed these batteries near Israel they would be able to immediately and completely defeat the Israeli Air Force. The umbrella provided by the S400 would engulf Israel.
These S400 batteries have in fact been sighted near the border of Israel. The IAF is nullified if Russia so wishes. Israel cannot defend itself by conventional means of war any longer against Russian or Iranian aggression from Syria.
Only One Solution
This means that the only tactical recourse Israel would have to respond to an attack would be to resort to non-conventional forms of combat, by the use of Weapons of Mass Destruction. It means Israels only remaining option for defense and/or retaliation is a pre-emptive strike through the use of a tactical nuclear weapon sitting on top of a ballistic missile. It is the only thing fast enough and able to maneuver enough in Israels arsenal capable of defeating the S400.
Thus the Burden of Damascus' fulfillment has just lurched forward.
Reverence your God then, for the fulfillment of prophecy eons old looks like it may come to pass in our days, very soon. Truly we are living in Gods days of awe.
Behold, Damascus is taken away from being a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap
And behold at eveningtide trouble; and before the morning he is not. This is the portion of those who loot us, the lot of those who plunder us. (Isaiah 17:1, 17:14)
Please come to God and be saved from the coming end of days wars. By being saved you and your family will be saved in the rapture from this coming hell on earth. Ask God to save you from your sins, walk in the Ten Commandments, follow his lead, and offer your help in these coming days of destruction. Hurry, the time is short.
Israel the apple of God's eye....
The only solution is to Nuke Um...
Our only hope is in the savior....
