Israel Worried over Russian Reaction To Aid to Georgia
(IsraelNN.com) ^ | 10 Aug 08 | Unknown

Israel is worried over possible Russian diplomatic retaliation for Israel aid to Georgia, and the Foreign Ministry has suggested halting all military aid to the country. Speculation has risen that Israel has armed Georgia because of a vested interest in Georgina pipelines that pump oil destined for Israeli ports.

Israel earlier this year announced it was reducing aid and sending to Georgia only defensive military equipment. The Foreign Ministry fears that continued Israeli aid to Georgia would make it more difficult to discourage Russia from shipping anti-aircraft missiles to Iran.

Read Ezk 38-39 and also read Joel Rosenberg’s “Ezekiel Option”. Everything is falling right in line.

I agree. Russia is selling weapons to Iran, Syria, (Hizbollah and Hamas via Iran), and Venezuela. Putin's Russia has also talked of stationing troops in Cuba. Russia today is using proxies, like Iran, to extend its power in the world. Obviously, the Czarists’ dreams and Soviet dreams of empire live on in Putin.

Do not forget that Ps 83 and Isa 17 will also come to pass very soon in my estimation. Anyway, things are ramping up big time. I pray for all to be ready.

"The Foreign Ministry fears that continued Israeli aid to Georgia would make it more difficult to discourage Russia from shipping anti-aircraft missiles to Iran."

When an allies sovereignty and right to exist is being threatened, very much the same as Israels is, you stand behind them, you don't abandon them in hopes you'll get a brownie point for weakness.

I was thinking about Joel’s “Epicenter”.

"Read Ezk 38-39 and also read Joel Rosenberg’s “Ezekiel Option”. Everything is falling right in line."

The rise of the forth and final Persian Empire has been going on for some time now. The seals on Daniel's prophacies are what we are witnessing being broken.

"Three more kings are going to rise in Persia; a fourth will come and be richer than all the others, and when, thanks to his wealth, he has grown powerful, he will challenge all the kingdoms of Javan." Daniel 11:2

According to Daniel, the culmination of these four hostile invasions into the lands of Christianity will be the fateful appearance of the fourth and last Persian empire. The world's end, this visionary explains, and all the tribulation and warfare preceding it, will come to pass with the birth and growth of this fourth eastern league of nations.

Far wealthier than its predecessors (Dn.11:2), it will rise up to "challenge all the kingdoms of Javan." (Dn.10:2). "Different from all the other kingdoms" on the planet, "it will devour the whole earth, trample it underfoot and crush it." (Dn.7:23). Much of Daniel has been misunderstood until now.

One thing we will know very shortly, if this escalates, this may well mark the beginning of the second War which will fulfill Daniel's vision concerning the second of the two horns of the ram.

We (Javin)win of course, and some new borders are drawn in those sands, but the peace is short lived. Then the final war between the descendants of Hagar and the descendants of Sarah begins.

Russia can sell all it wants to Syria and Iran yet Israel might get in trouble if it sells to Georgia. Amazing.

BTW Georgia purchased the Tavor assault weapon.

I doubt this is much of an issue in reality. Israel recently informed Russia that if the supply the A300 to Iran, they’ll not only bust the technology, but pass it around, manking it worthless for export. My guess given the “effectiveness” of the Russian air defence around the Syrian nuclear site, they can do it.

Sould have added nothing Israel can do about the current situation, nor that the US will do.

The Russian's timing was perfect, imo. Olympics on TV, dangling air defence support to Iran out there, a day or two after our troops left, excellent timing.
