The escalating danger

A few days ago, America’s war against Russia (and the Russian people as a whole) escalated to a new level of danger. Genocide Joe gave permission to Ukraine to launch long-range US missiles into Russia. Zelensky immediately did so, launching six missiles toward a Russian ammo depot about 70 miles inside of Russia.

This was the first Russian “red line” that the West has violated in this war. All other so-called “red lines” have been defined by the West, rather than by Russia. This new development appears to be a cynical step to stir up trouble and to make it more difficult for the incoming president to make peace with Russia.

Keep in mind that US doctrine in the past 30 years or more has focused upon weakening Russia in order to split the nation into about six new nations, so that each could be dominated by the West. The purpose is to steal Russia’s natural resources and thereby enrich western corporations. For this reason the West has not hesitated to insist upon allowing Ukraine’s membership into NATO, a policy which is absolutely a red line for Russia.

If nuclear weapons are allowed into Ukraine, Moscow would have only a few minutes’ warning if they were launched. That would not give them time to figure out if this were a false alarm or not. Even a false alarm would trigger a response, because the Russians would have no choice but to retaliate immediately. That is why putting nuclear weapons into Ukraine is a sign of madness.

Yet there are satanic forces in the world that do not listen to reason. In fact, they want to destroy civilization along with most of the world’s population, because they believe that this is necessary to save the planet from overpopulation. Less understood is that Satan is attempting to prevent the coming Kingdom of Peace, just as Genocide Joe is trying to do the same for Trump.

Such logic is satanic in its origin. Fortunately, we have the sure word of prophecy that their insane plan will not succeed. The danger is real, but the future belongs to the Kingdom of God and the reign of Jesus Christ. Hence, the satanic plan of the wicked witch of the West will have only limited success that will bring judgment upon Jerusalem, as prophesied in Scripture.

Those who do not believe the Scriptures are subject to fear. Those Christians who do not understand the prophetic plan are, in fact, assisting the satanists by promoting and supporting war, especially the Israeli war against the Palestinians. Christian Zionists are the Judases of the modern era. The original Judas betrayed Christ by trying to force Him to manifest His power to avoid execution. He thought that by betraying Christ into the hands of His enemies, he could manipulate the situation and that Jesus would thank him later. The plan backfired because Judas failed to understand that Jesus had come to die.

In our time the Judas company works hard to force the return of Christ by pushing the Israelis into all-out war. They think that they can manipulate Christ in this way. I recall such thinking when I was young as I grew up among Christian Zionists. They are blind to the fact that one cannot fulfill prophecy in an unlawful way. That was the great lesson that Jacob had to learn, and Christian Zionists have failed to learn it once again.

As time has passed, it has become increasingly important that we understand prophecy. Though it is not directly related to personal salvation, it can mean the difference to millions of people who could die even in a limited conflict—to say nothing of the suffering among the living. Zionists, both Jewish and Christian, have one thing in common—neither cares about the genocide taking place in Gaza. Neither cares about Christian Palestinians. Neither cares that the US supplies huge bombs that are now burying thousands of people in the rubble of Beirut.

In my youth I was told that Jews were “almost Christians,” based on the belief that the Jews would soon be converted to Christ. Instead, the reality is that Christians became “almost Jews.” This has been reinforced by the common belief that the “Age of Grace” is ending and the “Age of Law” is about to begin. This is according to Dispensationalist teaching that began to infect the church in the 1850’s under Darby and later Scofield.

By the term “Age of Law,” they implied that a Jewish kingdom would soon be established, reverting us back to Old Covenant worship, complete with animal sacrifices and Levitical priests. In other words, the changes in the law recorded in the book of Hebrews were only a temporary measure to allow Christians time to put away the law until they eventually became Jews.

But is the New Covenant merely a temporary innovation? Is the Old Covenant the permanent covenant in the divine plan? I don’t think so. But this is the inevitable conclusion of Christian Zionism. The main problem is that Christians have a fuzzy understanding of the difference between the two covenants. So they mix the two together, claiming that the New Covenant with Abraham was for Jews only and that it was based on genealogy. Such teaching assumes that Judaism is under the New Covenant, even though they clearly rejected its Mediator.

Nothing could be farther from the truth, and this is why such large portions of the Church have become the modern Judas. They love Christ as a Person, but they betray Him in their understanding of prophecy. How is this any different from the original Judas?

The overcomers stand in stark contrast to the Judas company today. Paul says in Romans 11:7 KJV that the overcomers are the remnant of grace and “the rest were blinded.” In my view, this blindness does not mean that they reject Christ but that they are blind to the divine plan in prophecy. When men reject any part of the word of God, they become blind to its true meaning. In fact, God blinds them as a matter of divine judgment. Blindness is a natural consequence to rejecting the word of the Lord.

I thank God that He has called a few believers out of the mainstream church so that these may prepare the way for Christ’s coming in a lawful manner. It is not our job to open anyone’ eyes to the truth. That is the responsibility of the Holy Spirit. Nonetheless, we are responsible to present the truth in order to give the Holy Spirit something to work with.
