Hello John and Doves,
This is a mix of news with dates
for the upcoming week -
Reminder of upcoming dates to
watch - February 21 and 24. Putin's speech on Feb 21
and the UN Security Council meeting on Feb 24.
Ukraine is expecting a massive Russian attack on Feb
24. And new weapons sent by the US and with US
approval can be used by Ukraine to hit Crimea and inside
Russia. Since satellites are being used to help
Ukrainian military, Russia sees these as targets.
And the IMF Director is telling the world that 1/3 of the
world will be in a recession in 2023 and
to expect billions of deaths in the imminent
WW3. And to add to all of this,
the Russian Federation for the first time has depolyed
the navy's Northern Fleet with tactical nuclear
weapons."
Again, I wonder if there
is a 72 hour warning to evacuate before a city is nuked,
will Feb 21 be the start of that count down in Putin's
speech - to Feb 24, 72 hours later? Will
that be the big event to capture the world's
attention? Are these armed shipped going to play a
part in this? Interesting timing - this Norwegian
intelligence report came out February 13
This February 21,
President Putin will be giving his annual State of the
Nation speech - this will be given to the Federal
Assembly, the State Duma and the Federation Council.
An hour has been set aside on Russian television
stations. He's expected to talk about the war in
Ukraine.
Ukraine has announced that
Moscow is preparing for a massive attack on the
anniversary of the Russian invasion - February
24.
The Foreign Minister of Ukraine,
Dmytro Kuleba told the
Russian Federation that they will "remember the great
events that will take place on 23 and 24 February" at the
UN Security Council meeting held during that time.
The meeting will be dedicated to Russian aggression
against Ukraine. "There will be many important
political signals, decisions on sanctions, weapons,
symbols of unity, and this will happen at all levels," he
said." The whole world would "work
in the right direction" on those days."
Kuleba:
Russia will remember "great events" of 23, 24 February -

And this news about
Crimea:
"The United States considers
Crimea to be a territory of Ukraine, transformed by Russia
into a huge military base, and will not contradict the
decision of the Ukrainian side to attack Russian military
installations on the peninsula," Victoria Nuland,
Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs said.
"Therefore, according to Nuland, the Russian
military bases in Crimea should be considered legitimate
for the Armed Forces of Ukraine."
Nuland:
Russian military installations in Crimea are legitimate
targets for Armed Forces of Ukraine
IMO, Nuland is a real warmonger
- pushing all of Russia's buttons.
Russia has said that any
attacks on Crimea would not force Russia to the peace
table - it would instead bring about retaliatory
strikes. The Deputy Chairman of the
Security Council of Russia, President Dmitry Medvedev said
that "If Washington wanted peace in Ukraine, it
could simply urge Kiev to engage in talks with Moscow,
but the US President Joe Biden's administration and
"hawks" in Congress are "simply not interested in
it."
"Russia could "retaliate in any
way possible" should Ukrainian forces strike targets in
Crimea or deep inside Russian territory...We do not set
any limits depending on the nature of the threats and are
ready to use all types of weapons...I can
assure you a response would be swift, hard, and
convincing," he added."
According to US Brigadier
General Patrick Ryder, Washington will not prevent
Ukraine from using these munitions
("the Pentagon announced it is supplying Kiev with
ground-launched small diameter bombs - munitions
consisting of a rocket motor and an airplane bomb, with a
range of up to 150 kilometers) to strike targets
deep within Russia.
We've had the usual Russian
bomber interceptions up by Alaska - what's interesting is
the short time period of these flybys.
"The U.S. intercepted Russian
aircraft flying off Alaska in international airspace as
they approached an identification zone for two straight
days this week, according to officials. Planes are
required to identify themselves when they approach the
Alaska Air Defense Identification Zone. If they
don't, U.S. aircraft are launched to check on them."
"The Alaskan Region of North
American Aerospace Defense Command, or NORAD, announced on
Thursday an incident that took place on Feb 14 in which
U.S. Air Force F-35s intercepted four Russian aircraft,
including two Tu-95 bombers. The U.S. announced on
Tuesday it had intercepted two Russian Tupolev Tu-95
strategic bombers on a "seven-hour flight over neutral
waters of the Chukchi Sea and the Sea of Okhotsk" on Feb
13." NORAD said flights like this occur regularly
and are not seen as a threat.

And civilian satellites are
targets now due to helping Ukraine:
The Russian Foreign Ministry is
accusing the U.S. of "weaponizing space and blurring the
boundaries between military and civilian infrastructure in
orbit. American use of spacecraft to benefit other
nations on the battlefield "is in fact a form of
participation in conflicts by proxy." He is saying
that these "quasi-civilian" space infrastructure
could face "retaliation". The Secretary
General of NATO said that the "US led bloc will use
commercial satellite as a military booster." So
these satellites are now fair game as targets.

The war in Ukraine continues to
escalate as more and more NATO equipment and soldiers move
into Ukraine. And Russia is massing on the border.
Russian Federation
Warships Armed With Tactical Nukes - First Time
"Warships in the Russian
navy's Northern Fleet have been deployed with tactical
nuclear weapons, the Norwegian Intelligence
said in a report released Monday. ..It is believed
that this is the first time in 30 years the fleet has
gone to sea with the nuclear weapons on board."
"Norway's intelligence went on to describe the
"particularly serious threat" that Russia's tactical
nuclear weapons pose to NATO countries. In addition
Russia has among other things, underwater capabilities,
anti-satellite weapons and cyber tools that can threaten
Norway and NATO," the report said....this is "the first
time the Russian Federation has deployed the ships with
nuclear weapons."

Something may be up with Iran
too.
Secretary of State Blinken met
on Saturday with China's top diplomat Wang Yi on the
sidelines of the Munich Security Conference, a senior
State Department official said, amid a running dispute
between the two world powers over a suspected Chinese spy
balloon shot down by the United States....Earlier on
Saturday, Wang took a swipe at the United States accusing
it of violating international norms with "hysterical"
behavior by shooting down the balloon." "To have
dispatched an advanced fighter jet to shoot down a balloon
with a missile, such behavior is unbelievable, almost
hysterical," Wang said on Saturday."
I shudder to think of Blinken's
response - China yet again, I'm sure, chewed Blinken up
and spat him out. What an embarrassment to the
country. Blinken is yet another example of an inept,
incompetent puppet appointee in the Biden
Administration. Add him to Buttigieg and Mayorkas!.
Billions of people will die in the Great
Tribulation. Revelation 9:15 tells us that a third
of mankind will be killed.
The world population is right
about 8 billion people. One third of this is about
2.66 billion. I think most
believe that the next world war - WW3 - will occur
during The Tribulation Period. (I certainly hope
so!!) There are other verses in The
Revelation that tell us about people being killed
off. And we don't know how many people will be left
after the Rapture. We just know it will be a lot of
people that will die in that time period.
The world has been warned about
this coming world war. Billions will die - during
and in the aftermath of this war.
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem!
Maranatha!
