Russia has entered into Syria with great strength and even China has announced that they will be doing so also. This will apparently lead to the Third World War with the United States and its allies and to horrifying spilling of blood until they will all be destroyed.
Doesn't sound so good for the United States. However, we are ripe for God's judgment.
Our "Sequestered" and leadership decapitated military is a shadow of what it was 7 years ago, while Russia and China have been increasing their might exponentially during the same time frame.
We have descended into immoral madness, and have betrayed Israel.
Ping to you both. Good morning.
And I want to believe God's judgement will fall on those that have developed and perpetrated that wicked process and for the sake of the remnant (2Chron 7:14), spare our nation
Politics is NOT the answer, but this political cycle is unique in any I've ever seen and again want to believe (NOW I say .. ) we have awakened to revival and call upon God to forgive us and cleanse us
The recent flap regardin PP is just a taste of what "we" should be doing
I'm SO anxious to see Jan 30, 2017
One thing is certain: if there is a war in the next few months, it is "come as you are." This is not WW II where we can produce the P-51 Mustang from drawing on a napkin to flying prototype in 102 days.
Besides the smallest Navy since WW I, a decimated Marine Corps, the Army only having a handful of Brigades combat ready, the Air Force smaller with an older fleet that at any time in history, the morale of the military is lower than it was post-Vietnam.
Morale is a massive factor in any fighting unit or army. Lord Nelson's fleet was outnumbered, but his men loved him, and he gave them better training. The British, with leadership, superior tactics, and fighting spirit destroyed the French and British fleets at Trafalgar 210 years ago this month.
The American military has been feminized, degraded, hamstrung, and smeared as a bunch of sexual harassers - all built on phony data and lies.
Critics try and compare military spending in Dollars between Russia, China, and the US. There are several fallacies to this argument.
One, we don't really know what Russia and China actually spend, we can only guess. Only the US is transparent with its actual Defense Spending.
Secondly, we compare apples to oranges. If a US factory produces a pair of boots that cost $150, a great deal of that cost was our way of doing business. Safety rules, union wages, legal costs, minority owned contracting privilege/profit by law, and on and on.
Russia and China don't play by those rules. They can produce the same or better pair of boots for $25 dollars.
On the battlefield, a bullet kills or maims the same, it does not discriminate about which costs more to produce.
I’ll take Jesus advice. Didn’t he say something about there being enough troubles in the day. Let tomorrow take care of tomorrow?
i know. my bible knowledge isn’t that strong, but I thought i remembered something like that.

You are right about not eing able to directly compare cost
Chinese soldiers in Hong Kong make so little money per month they can’t afford to leave the base.
How many soldiers could the US field if it paid them $90.00 a month?
I would love to see that as well. I think our nation could be saved if we did collectively pray in according to 2 Chronicles 7:14.
But I think those who pray that are a very, very, very small minority. Perhaps in the single percentages.
I know God will protect Israel. The United States has no such Biblical clause.
I can only hope and pray that me and my family are sustained through the coming storm, because I believe it is coming (financial, war, disaster).
Good morning.
Thanks for the ping.
It occurred to me that that is what’s happening.
Isn’t Turkey one of the countries that comes with Gog to attack Israel? If Russia and Turkey are fighting each other, I don’t see this as exactly Ezekiel 38. . . yet.
He did.
He also said this:
4 Jesus answered: Watch out that no one deceives you. 5 For many will come in my name, claiming, I am the Messiah, and will deceive many. 6 You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. 7 Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. 8 All these are the beginning of birth pains."
Matthew 24:4 - 8
According to almost every Biblical scholar, yes.
Amen ....
What ... you don’t like the black and silver mossy oak coat of colors ?

If Jesus said dont be alarmed, I wont be. I have suffered quite a bit physically and mentally, as I think most of us have at one time or another.
This life was meant to end one way or another sooner or later, so whether it be on a peaceful death bed or from an all out war, it WILL come.
THAT’S the thing to be prepared for. So God at least gives me a shot at entering the Kingdom.
Come, Lord Jesus! Have mercy on your children. Protect Israel in the last days!
