TRIBULATION IN DETAIL
THE BROADCAST PART 8

RUSSIA AND THE USA

If you’ve just tuned in, you are reading a special UNIVERSAL NEWS BROADCAST. We are recapping the major past events from Israel’s rebirth through the tribulation and destruction of the world during the Battle of Armageddon.

     Great tensions had existed between Israel and Iran. The fact that the Jews (which were the offspring of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob) were in the promised land; which the offspring of Ishmael believed it should be them; was an abomination to them.
     Iran’s goal was the destruction of the Jews in Israel. Iran had been seeking to build one or more atomic bombs about 20 times bigger than used in Japan.
     Russia had warned Israel that an attack on Iran was the same as an attack against them.

     Russia had been allied with Iran, just as God’s Word had predicted it would happen. They had been helping Iran. Russia had initiated a massive build up in their military. That 10 year program was about completed when the rapture took the saints. It included everything from helicopters to stealth missiles to new satellites, to satellites that could destroy other satellites, to advanced technology to defeat detection systems and much more. This buildup had been conceived around 2009.

     Meanwhile, the United States had down sized its military, but not when it came to advanced weapons and military satellites. The combined super-weapons of Russia and the USA, if all were used, were capable of destroying all life on earth about 6 times over.However the military readiness of the many of the super weapons of the USA had fallen into decay. But this did change as the tribulation approached.

     Nevertheless, very few of the prophecy scholars of that time, or the people of the world ever believed there would be a world war three. Few ever understood that, that war would include Russia and the United States doing great destruction to each other. Almost none foresaw that one fourth of the world’s population would be killed as a result.

     A coalition of nations had been put together by Russia previously. It was in perfect harmony with Ezekiel chapter 38.

     Tensions had been growing between Russia and the USA.
     Back in 2014 Russia had made the statement that they could turn the USA into a radio-active pile of ash.
     Russia did things that provoked both the USA and EU.
     The USA, and the EU did things that irritated Russia.

     The USA had in turn called Russia no more than a regional power. However God, through His Word, had called the military of Magog (which is Russia) and its allies which was to come against Israel in the latter days“A GREAT COMPANY”-Ezek 38:3.

     Not long after the man of sin that had assumed control of a united Europe, he confirmed a covenant or treaty with Israel and others The Bible had spoke of this in Dan 9:27.
     About this time, Magog’s leader called GOG (which is Russia’s leader) had a thought. Their economy had felt the effects of various situations that had come to pass.

     Iran, that Russia was allied with, sought to destroy Israel. The fact that the Jews were back in the promised land after 2000 years was an abomination to them and fellow Arabs (the sons of Ishmael). They believed the promised land was theirs because they were descended from Abraham through Ishmael. Click here for the covenant.

THE RUSSIAN ARAB INVASION OF ISRAEL AND OTHERS
WORLD WAR THREE

     The Jews had been sent into all the nations of the world because of sin about two thousand years ago. They had waited and waited for the time that Israel would once again become a nation. Then it happened as said previously in 1948. Even though God had promised in His Word, he would do this, when they returned to the land of Israel they forgot their God.
     Many of the Jews had returned to their land from the nations of the world. It was God doing it, but they did not know this. They were gathered from the countries of their enemies, but they still lived in sin.

     The combined Russian and Arab invasion of Israel did not catch Israel completely off guard. Some knew well the prophecies of the prophets concerning this matter but they believed they were safe because of the covenant or treaty with the man of sin. They were wrong.

     However few people throughout the world understood there was three parts of world war three.
     These would include the advance of Russia and its allies into Jordan and Saudi Arabia.
     Part 2 was Russia and its allies invading Israel.
     After that there would be a third part that lasted only 4 hours of the day and 4 hours of the night—a total of 8 hours. The destruction that would happen at that time was what the would expected could happen one day, but hoped it never would.
     Many prior to the rapture had not understood this. This was because, in part, of a misunderstanding of how some of the 7 seals and 7 trumpet judgments of the revelation related to each other as well as other scriptures.

     Israel had expected that there will be peace because of the covenant or treaty with the man of sin. But God had warned Israel in His Word: Isa 28:18-20-had told them: And YOUR COVENANT WITH DEATH SHALL BE DISANNULLED, AND YOUR AGREEMENT WITH HELL (or the grave) SHALL NOT STAND; WHEN THE OVERWHELMING SCOURGE SWEEPS BY, YOU WILL BE BEATEN DOWN BY IT.
     20-THE BED IS TOO SHORT TO STRETCH OUT ON, THE BLANKET TOO NARROW TO WRAP AROUND YOU. Their trust in the covenant was of no real value.

     God sets his face against the ruler of Russia, the chief of a land that was very large.
     The vast Russian military machine had undergone awesome upgradings in about every area from satellites, anti satellites, stealth aircraft and missiles, even devising “weapons” that were radar resistant.

THEN THOUGHTS CAME INTO THE MIND OF RUSSIA’S LEADER

     He began to devise an evil scheme. That plan included attacking Israel which was at rest.
     He considered that he could strike them fast. He could strike them in so many directions at the same time that they would quickly be overwhelmed and confused.
     By knocking out Israel’s satellites and early warning devices such as on Mt. Hermon and other places, Russia and its allies could gain the temporary upper hand of surprise.

     Russia’s leader thought to himself, I will plunder and loot (or take a spoil and take a prey) and turn my hand against the resettled ruins (that are now inhabited) and upon the people gathered out of the nations, rich in livestock or cattle and goods, living at the center of the land.“

     As previously mentioned, Russia’s 10 year military buildup was about complete. It was prepared.

     Israel was a prosperous nation.
     They had much gold and silver.
     They had many valuable possessions.
     They had advanced technology.
     They were rich in livestock and food.
     Russia’s economy on the other hand was much less prosperous as it had gone through some difficulties. Russia and the USA had also been at odds. This was also in the mind of its leaders which played its part in that last part of the war.

     Russia (which is Magog) begin to come, but then turned back. They were turned around but then went toward Israel.

THE INVASION OF ISRAEL AND OTHERS BY RUSSIA AND ITS ALLIES

     Unknown to the world, which did not believe in God, it was “He” that was bringing the ruler of Russia, its military, and its allies to the land of Israel. The purpose was so that the unbelieving people and nations of the world would open their eyes and understand that God exists and that salvation is only possible through Jesus Christ. As this broadcast said previously, at this time there were no saved people on planet earth at this time following the rapture. God was soon going to reveal himself through the destruction of the largest and most technically advanced military armada ever assembled.

     God was bringing Russia and its allies (from the far north) to the mountains of Israel to be destroyed by the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, but they knew nothing of this, neither did they take notice. The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob was against them. They had no understanding the Lord God was protecting Israel. They were not living safely because of the covenant with the Antichrist. They were dwelling safely because of the God which they had rejected.

     Finally Russia and its allies advanced rapidly, from their place in the north. Many countries were with them. Like a huge storm, with a huge military armada, a great company, a mighty army—all of them riding in and on vehicles. Many surrounding countries were joined with Russia including Iran which hated Israel, but was also at odds with Saudia Arabia. (Iran and Saudia Arabia were each from different Moslem persuasions. They were not on good terms with each other.)

     As mentioned, Jordan and Saudia Arabia was on the receiving end of the first part of world war three. Both countries were prosperous especially Saudia Arabia—as Russia’s mission was to sieze much plunder, to loot, to carry away silver and gold, also to take a great spoil and a prey. Egypt shall not escape.

     Russia and its allies had weapons with all sorts of armored equipment. Russia also had advanced defensive weapons including technology to defeat detection devices and enemy satalites that could give advanced warning of things they were doing.
     They also had stealth weapons, and stealth missiles, and stealth aircraft plus satalites watching whatever Israel did.
     The “Gog” or head of Russia, was commanding the greatest, most technically advanced military armada the world had ever seen.

As they came, God’s anger (or fury) came up in His face.

     Part 2-was the invasion of Israel. It was a five fold invasion. It included an invasion from the WEST, that is by the Meditterean sea with ships.

     As Russia and its allies came, they swept through many nations. It concluded with the invasion against Israel from the NORTH, and the EAST coming through Jordan but the chief of Jordan escaped.

     It also included invasions coming from the SOUTH AND WEST. Ethiopia and Libya were also allied with Russia.

THE ATTACK AGAINST ISRAEL WAS FROM ALL 4 DIRECTIONS.
THE ATTACK WAS BY LAND, THE SEA, AND THE AIR.

     They came from the air with a massave AIRBORN ASSAULT. It was much like a cloud that covered the land of Israel. To summarize, the invasion of Israel came from four directions as well as the air with both missiles and an airborne assault.

     Their plan was to take the high ground in Israel—the mountains, and overwhelm them from all directions including a massave airborne invasion.

     Their plan included destroying Israel’s satalites as well as their early warning devices in high places like Mt Hermon and others. Other countries was also on Russia’s hit list. They came through Jordan, but its leader escaped.

     It never came into Russia’s mind that the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob was watching over the land of Israel and that it was His land. Neither did it come into the minds of those allied with Russia.
     In the case of the arab nations, they wanted the Jews destroyed as they believed Israel’s land belonged to them as they were the offspring of Abraham and Ishmael. It never came into their minds that what was ahead for them was a massive destruction that would come suddenly and unexpectedly.

     To summarize, as already stated, it was the largest military armada with advanced weapons ever assembled on earth. It included a huge number of vehicles, all sorts of armor and weapons, and everyone equipped for battle. Also included was the latest technology, jamming devices, stealth technology, and other things which would make it more difficult to see them and to know their movements. They also had anti satellite devices in space to counter Israel’s satellites. It was to a war with technology like the world had never seen. Millions of troops were involved, all against a tiny nation called Israel which had a population not much different than New York City.

     God’s purpose for all this was to bring the Jews and also the world to repentance following the rapture as there were no saved people left on earth at that time. God previously said clearly in Ezek 38:16-I WILL BRING YOU (that is Russia and its allies) AGAINST MY LAND (which is Israel) SO THAT THE NATIONS MAY KNOW ME.

     Russia and its many allies did come. They came swiftly. They covered the land, primarily the mountains of Israel.

     Tiny Israel was a very advanced nation with regards to technology. Its military had modern equipment, but it was no match for the massive army that came against them. It was overwhelmed. One moment they were dwelling safely, the next they were being attack from all directions. Israel’s situation was hopeless. They were undergoing great destruction.

     Did the United States come to their aid against Russia and its allies? No.

     The only hope they had was through turning to the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. However Israel had rejected their God. They had rejected Jesus Christ.

     Yet, God was also bringing this huge military force against Israel, because Israel had sinned. They had been unfaithful to God, so God had hid His face from them. Many in Jerusalem did keep the Sabbath, but after it was over some went right back to living their old ways.

     So God hid His face from them and handed them over to their enemies, and they all fell by the sword. Israel could not stand before its enemies because they had forsaken their God. They were being soundly defeated and killed.

     God dealt with them according to their uncleanness and their offenses (or transgressions).

     Yet, in hopelessness, they cried out to God with all their heart, with fasting and weeping, and mourning. They cried “Spare thy people, O Lord.”

     God heard their cries. He was jealous for His land. The world had forgotten and did not understand that the land belonged to God.

     God had compassion and mercy on all of the people of Israel. God was zealous for His Holy Name.

     When Gog (or the ruler of Russia) attacked the land of Israel, unknown to the world, God’s anger and fury came up in his face. He was jealous and his wrath was like a fire.

THE BEGINNING OF THE DESTRUCTION OF THE ARMIES OF RUSSIA AND ITS ALLIES.

     The number of the people of the combined armies seemed to be uncountable. Millions were involved. They were assembled upon the high places, the high grounds, the mountains of Israel, and the open fields.

     The destruction of the huge military armada that came into Israel began.

     First, throughout the entire world there was a trembling of everything including the fish, the birds, the animals, and even the crawling creatures, and the people.

THE DEATH OF THE INVADERS

     It started with an earthquake.
     The mountains were overturned, the cliffs crumbled, and every barrier fell.
     Then the people of the invading armies went into a state of confusion. They turned their weapons on each other and began killing one another.
     Then all of a sudden a plague struck them. Sickness came upon them.
     Then the rains came. The rains were so heavy as to almost defy description.
     Then huge hailstones wainted upon them.
     Then burning coals of sulfur rained down on the invading armies. There was no defense against their destruction.
     Russia and all the nations that were with Russia fell while they were on the mountains of Israel.

     The greatest military machine the world has ever seen came to an end.
     He (the leader of Russia) heard news that troubled him. His headquarters was in the glorious Holy Mountain but he came to his end.

THE BIRDS AND WILD ANIMALS HAD A GREAT FEAST.

     Every kind of bird and all the wild animals (of the field), assembled themselves, and came; to the sacrifice that God had sacrificed for them. It was a great sacrifice upon the mountains of Israel.

     Their dead bodies became food to all kinds of ravenous birds and to the wild animals. Birds of every kind and the wild animals assembled themselves to partake of the great feast God had for them.

     They ate the flesh of the dead and drank their blood. They ate the flesh of mighty men and drink the blood of the rulers of the earth, of rams, of lambs, and of goats, and of bullocks They ate till they were full, and then ate again afterwards. They ate will they were stuffed. They ate the flesh of animals, of mighty men, and soldiers of every kind.

GOD WAS GREATLY MAGNIFIED

     From that day forward the house of Israel will know that I am the LORD their God.

     God was greatly magnified in the eyes of a very sinful world as a result of the slaughter of the largest, most technically advanced military armada in the history of the world.
     His glory was displayed among the nations as the world seen the punishment that came upon those vast armies.

     Even many that hated God, even those that were positive God did not exist, even those that were staunch atheists and agnostics, even those that were positive evolution was how we came into being, even those that were Moslems, and all sorts of other religions—they could not longer deny that the God of Israel is alive and does watch over Israel. Jesus Christ is indeed the only way to be saved.

     God had said in His Word that He would magnify himself and as a result of what He did, he would become known by many nations.
     The world had not believed in God. The faith of those left behind in the Rapture was at best lukewarm.
     THE GREATEST, MOST ADVANCED MILITARY ARMADA EVER ASSEMBLED, WITH WEAPONS OF IMMENCE POWER, WAS DESTROYED IN WAYS NO ONE COULD HAVE EVER FORSEEN. THEY WERE DEFENSELESS.

     The day that God did this miracle became a memorable day for Israel.

     When the slaughter was finished only a sixth part of them were left alive. The destruction of the invading forces of Israel came and it was done. The day that God had spoken of in His Word—was finished.

     The world was stunned, but the worst was yet to come.

THROUGHOUT THE TRIBULATION THINGS GET WORSE AND WORSE AND WORSE

     As the tribulation progressed it may be understood by this which is repeated in various ways.

     ALL THESE ARE THE BEGINNINGS OF BIRTH PAINS.
     THESE ARE THE BEGINNINGS OF BIRTH PAINS.
     God told the His people and the people of the earth that the tribulation would be like e woman about to have a child.
     The pains, the difficulties, the hardships would continue to get worse, and worse, like a woman about to give birth as the tribulation continued.
     Then Armageddon would explode immediately afterward. After this one day battle, few people would be left alive.
     But this would usher in the return of Christ and begin 1000 years of peace.
