SCENE THREE

"And I will call for a sword (instrument of war) against him (Gog and his bands) throughout all My mountains (governments...a UN consensus) "everyman’s sword (weapon) shall be against his brother." Ezekiel 38:21
( Ed: Moslem vs. moslem, Soviet vs. soviet, even Western forces divided.)
The Russian Confederation will be judged with hailstones, fire and brimstone. Meteorite shower ?


Threat of nuke attack on US greater -- April 17, 2008
 A 1-kiloton device that could fit into a suitcase could kill about 25,000 people, Dallas said. A 10-kiloton explosive, which could be hidden in a van, could kill about 100,000.

The 10-kiloton blast would destroy almost all buildings within a half-mile radius, and the intense heat would burn people for many blocks and spark fires, according to Dallas.

In addition, a radioactive plume would begin drifting from the blast point, subjecting those in its path to lethal levels of radiation, Dallas said

It appears that the US and her allies will not take sides with Israel at the time of the Magog Invasion -- July 11, 2007
" Lieberman reported that NATO’s senior officials said Israel should not assume that the international community will stop Iran just to help Israel.
“Israel should prevent the threat, herself, and should not expect support of other countries,” Lieberman reported as the conclusions reached at the meeting.
“NATO is stuck in Afghanistan and European and American troops are wallowing in the Iraqi quagmire, which is something that is going to prevent the leaders of countries in Europe and America from deciding on the use of force to destroy Iran's nuclear facilities,” he said. "
Ed: It appears that The West will respond only at the end of the Invasion.

Previously, we had made a pact with Russia to be aligned militarily with them through NATO, due to the coalition of nations fighting terrorism.

Yet one wonders if this is the time for the fulfillment of Daniel 11:27 wherein two kings make an agreement that does not stand.

The Western Forces most likely will call together an emergency session, looking for a politically correct solution. It seems that the West will fight the Soviets, but not the Moslems.
This appears to be the order of the day:

a. A Soviet - Islamic strike against the U. S. and Israel, causing

b. All the earthquake plates to violently tremble (Ezek. 38: 19, 20),
affecting everything in the air, land and sea...
and "ALL THE MEN THAT ARE UPON THE FACE OF THE EARTH"

c. The West will respond militarily

SHEBA and DEDAN...Persian Gulf area ( Yemen and Oman ? )
Third US aircraft carrier sent to the Gulf -- July 10, 2007
"The US aircraft carrier Enterprise has been deployed to a strategic area that includes waters close to Iran.
The warship joins two carriers already in the Fifth Fleet area of operations and strengthens the US Navy's biggest presence in the Gulf since the first Iraq invasion. 'These operations are not specifically aimed at Iran. We consider this time unprecedented in terms of the amount on insecurity and instability in the region,"
Navy spokeswoman Denise Garcia said, citing Somalia, Lebanon, Iraq and Afghanistan.
The Fifth Fleet's area of operations includes the Gulf, the Arabian Sea, the Red Sea, the Gulf of Aden, the Gulf of Oman and parts of the Indian Ocean
http://www.rte.ie/news/2007/0710/iran.html

Cosgriff said the Enterprise transports about 70 attack, fighter and detection planes, as well as four helicopters. These will «contribute to stability» and ensure the free flow of commerce in the region, he said.
Iran's hardline Islamic government has repeatedly threatened of disruptions along the world's busiest oil route in the narrow Strait of Hormuz between Iran and the Arabian Peninsula if the U.S. attacked Tehran over it's nuclear program.
Officers at the Naval Forces' Central Command in Bahrain declined to say whether the Enterprise and the ships in its strike group would replace either the USS John C. Stennis or the USS Nimitz carriers currently patrolling the zone

US to activate Fort Greely, Alaska -- Jan 22, 2004
The unit, which will eventually boast 110 soldiers, will man ground-based interceptors that are designed to shoot down incoming ballistic missiles and give the military a deterrent and a defensive capability it currently doesn't have.
Maj. Gen. Larry Dodgen, commander of the Army Space and Missile Defense Command, took part in Thursday's activation ceremony at Fort Greely in Alaska

England to get New Zealand's Air Force .... July 13-2001
“We're the only country in the world that's getting rid of its air force and building up the army. It’s particularly stupid for a country surrounded by sea. We need better maritime and air capability, not a better ground force.”
Younger pilots, who are still bound by ten-year return-of-service agreements, face effective demotion to transport and surveillance planes, or to ground duties, as there will be nowhere near enough planes for them to fly in the restructured defence force.

EZEKIEL 39

Ezekiel Chapter 39:2 tells us that 1/ 6 of the invading armies will turn back.
The other 5/ 6 will be totally wiped out on the mountains of Israel.

Ezek. 39:3 tells us that the weaponry of the advancing forces will fail (on the right hand and on the left). Ezek. 39:6 intimates that Russia itself will be attacked, as well as parts of America, "them that dwell carelessly in the isles (coastlands). This is what is termed as a 'limited nuclear war.' Does anyone win in a nuclear war? No. Let's go to Revelation [Apocalypse] Chapter 8 to see the effects of this war.

REVELATION CHAPTER 8 ..... Nuclear War and Radiation
What will be the effects of this nuclear exchange? Well according to Rev. 8...

* 1/3 of the trees burn up
* 100 % of the green grass burns up. Our food chain now being interrupted;
shortages, rationing [hyper-inflation], and famine will occur.
* 1/3 of the Ocean becomes blood
* 1/3 of the Oceanic sea-life dies (more interruption of the food chain)
* 1/3 of the ships destroyed (Mother of all Naval Battles...releasing much radiation and contamination in our air and water.......
possibly biological and chemical pollutants as well.

Revelation 8: 10,11 also hints that a Multiple Warhead Rocket
( North Korea?...Cuba.?... Russia?.. Iran Shahab 5,6 ? ) hits "the fountain of waters"
[upper Mississippi River region??? Hoover Dam?] leaking more radiation into our Water Table below . Could this refer to our nation? Now, BOTH our salt water and fresh water become deadly.

A,B,C, (atomic-nuclear.. biological, chemical)
delivery to Alaska, Hawaii, West Coast;
( and American Forces in South Korea and Japan? see Military page
There are 100,000 American Forces in the Far East.
Also Libya is threatening to send missiles to our American bases in Europe and the mid-East. These missiles were supplied by North Korea.

A DARKNESS THAT CAN BE FELT
God can bring forth a Darkness that can be felt (Exodus 10:21....also see Zephaniah 1:15).

These nuclear explosions will put gigantic soot clouds into the air, obscuring:
....1/3 of our sunlight
....1/3 of our moonlight and
....1/3 of our starlight............dulling the brilliance of all three. REV. 8:12

Besides that, there will be 1/ 3 less DAYLIGHT itself, and 1/3 less MOONLIGHT appearing at all, as this thick impenetrable cloud blankets our horizon, obscuring the rising and the setting of our sun and moon, resulting also from Volcanic activity.

Our temperatures will drop, crops will fail and scarcity will be felt by all.
"Woe unto you that desire the Day of the LORD! To what end is it for you?
The Day of the LORD (WW 3 on the eve of the Great Tribulation)
is DARKNESS, and NOT light." ..... AMOS 5:18 also see Rev. 6:17

Well, we have just looked closely at Revelation Chapter 8, wherein the effects of NUCLEAR Radiation take place. Let us now go to Revelation Chapter 9, wherein the effects of GERM WARFARE are detailed.

REVELATION CHAPTER 9 ....GERM WARFARE www.cybertime.net/~ajgood/bcterror.html

Revelation Chapter 9 describes the effects of biological-chemical warfare used at this time.
The nations of Libya, Syria, Iraq and Iran are well known for their germ-warfare capabilities.
The text here describes for us locusts (helicopters) which are equipped with canisters of highly toxic substances. (VX gas...as in VEX ???)
"And it was commanded them that they should
not hurt the grass of the earth,
neither any green thing, neither any tree;
(this is in contrast to Revelation Chapter 8 wherein 1/ 3 of earth's greenery is destroyed)
but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads."

"And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented ( vexed ) Five Months:

"And their torment was as the torment of a Scorpion, when he striketh a man.
And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it;
And shall desire to die, and death shall flee them." Rev. 9: 4--6

Dec. 1- 2000 Anthrax shot required for all personnel in the Mid-East
http://military.com/Content/MoreContent/1,11597,FL_anthraxasia_trimble,00.html?cat=LEADSTORY1

PATIENT GRACE

As painful as this scene is, it still shows God’s Mercy and patience while giving these ungodly ones time to become Godly. These five months will allow these people to repent and call upon God before dying (and going to hell had they not had this time). This scene is temporary-hell. Real Hell never ends...it goes on forever and forever and forever:
"When one’s been there 10,000 years, he’s only just begun".
So we see then that even in wrath, God shows MERCY....Habakkuk 3:2

As for those who died of the radiation--as well as those who died from germ-warfare---it will take professional buriers, with HAZ-MAT clothing, to bury these germ-ridden, radiation-contaminated ones. This scene of utter devastation and death can only be described as a "Valley of Dry Bones".
Ezekiel 37

SCENE FOUR ......EZEKIEL 37

This Valley of Dry Bones was prophesied by Ezekiel, through the Holy Spirit of God, in Ezekiel Chapter 37. When this REAL scene presents itself, and mirrors the Virtual Vision of Ezekiel Ch. 37, then the Whole house of Israel will recognize--- once and for all---that God is fighting FOR them...that God is truly their Deliverer...... that the God of the Old Testament, Yahweh, is the God of the New Testament, Jesus Christ of Nazareth (turning the hearts of the children toward their fathers and visa-versa). Malachi 4:6 and I John 2:12-14

1/3  REMNANT

At this precise point in history, God will give His people"
"A NEW heart and a NEW SPIRIT".......Ezekiel 36:26
Almighty God, Jesus Christ, will bond with His people as never before,
and His Holy Remnant will cleave to Him as never before.
"And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, saith the LORD, two parts therein shall be cut off and die; but the third part shall be left therein." Zechariah 13:8

SCENE FIVE

At this same time, the fowls of the air and the beasts of the field will pick clean the bones in the "Valley of Hamon-gog". Ezekiel 39:17
Hamon is Scripture’s first anti-Semite (Book of Esther) and Gog is one of the last.
This Valley is to be found in the City of "Hamonah"....Ezek. 39:15.

The House of Israel will be burying the bodies and bones for Seven Months
[ Ezekiel 39:12 + 14 ] intimating the length of time left before Gentile takeover ?
[Luke 21:24 and Rev. 11:2]. Will the Two Witnesses follow shortly on the heels of this war? Time will tell.
We do know however that a great outpouring of the Holy Spirit will be upon God's Chosen People [JOEL 2:28-32]. God will be calling out His Remnant.

A DAY OF RENOWN

"And I will set My Glory among the heathen, and all the heathen shall see My Judgement that I have executed, and My Hand that I have laid upon them."
"So the House of Israel shall know that

I AM THE LORD THEIR GOD FROM THAT DAY AND FORWARD."
Ezekiel 39: 21, 22

THE SEVEN THUNDERS OF REVELATION CHAPTER 10

Food for thought: Could the 7 Thunders of Rev. 10:3,4 be referring to many wars igniting at the same time? Please see www.cybertime.net/~ajgood/7thunders.html

Invasion of Israel: While the West is distracted by a pre-emptive strike from Russian missiles up in the arctic (and Russian bombers),
the Russian Bear Confederation then may make her mad dash South to Israel.
Would this also be a time for other nations to make their move while the Superpowers are engaged in their affairs?

China vs. Taiwan

North Korea vs. So. Korea, Japan and other Far East US military bases
(Okinawa, Guam etc.).... No. Korea also striking our US bases in Alaska and Hawaii?
not forgetting the possibility that North Korean missiles are aimed at the Western half of our mainland?

India vs. Pakistan.

And also there could be Russian subs and Cuba striking at the Eastern half of our mainland?
The Macedonian-Bosnian situation igniting into renewed fighting
Turkey vs. Cypress +Greece ??

It is something to consider. Please see "Eagle has Fallen"
