"Taking Another Look At Ezekiel 38 and Putin"


 
Hello John and Doves,
 
I wanted to take another look at Ezekiel 38 in relation to what is going on with Putin/Russia today in Ukraine and Russia's upcoming nuclear war with the West.
 
The Hooks In Gog's Jaws:
 
There have been many letters written about how 'Russia is being pushed into a world war'.  Goaded into a war they do not want. 
 
Putin has given out warnings to Ukraine and the West repeatedly - starting before Russia's invasion of Ukraine all the way up until now.   Russia has various reasons for invading Ukraine.  I've written about these in past letters.  And the West always nixes any possibility of peace.
 
Putin has called for U.N. Security Council meeting on June 14.  "The representative of Russia in the United Nations announced the country's request to hold a meeting of the Security Council on June 14 in connection with the Ukraine War."
 
"Afghan Voice Agency (AVA) - International Service:  Following the green light given by Western countries to Ukraine to use the weapons sent to attack Russian territory, the country's representation to the United Nations has decided to convene a meeting of the Security Council to review this issue on June 14."
 
"In this regard, Russian President Vladimir Putin said in an interview on Tuesday evening:  "NATO countries should understand what they are playing with."

Biden gave Ukraine approval to use US weapons on Russian soil.  It's global news now:
Biden secretly gave Ukraine permission to strike inside Russia with US weapons - POLITICO
 
Why would this be allowed to 'slip out'?  Loose lips, sink ships - I guess that doesn't apply to this war.  So why didn't Biden just deny this?  Is this just more goading?
 
And then to top this off, other NATO countries like France, the U.K., Canada...gave their approval to use NATO weapons and their weapons against Russia directly.  
 
Really?  They would just announce this?  This makes them all legitimate war targets for Russia.  More goading?
 
Of course, Putin/Russia would know that when the long-range missiles started hitting inside Russia and fancy drones started targeting Russian territory a thousand kilometers from Ukraine that the West...er U.S., was behind this.  These drone weapons are being controlled by 'experts' and the missiles by satellite GPS - which Ukraine doesn't have.  Russia would have connected the dots anyway.  Putin noted this in his speech to his people.
 
In this speech on Victory Day he told the Russian people that "the West's goal was to achieve the collapse and destruction of our country."  He talks about an assassination attempt on the Kremlin residence - "carried out by Kyiv with the help of the U.S."  He talked about "Western globalist elites". And how Russian citizens are on the front lines now.

This was prompted by Biden's recent approval to use long-range weapons provided by the U.S.to Ukraine on Russian territory.
 
So NATO is really escalating this war against Russia - actually openly taking the war directly to Russian soil.  There is no 'formal' declaration of war - but it sure looks like it's a war that's no longer hiding behind the proxy, Ukraine.

IMO, Putin is trying to avoid a nuclear war with the West.  He tried to make peace with Zelensky early in the war, but the West didn't like the deal and didn't want Zelensky to cede anything to Russia - so they promised much more money and many more weapons.  And now the West is throwing their own long-range missiles and guidance systems into the fight..among other weapons.  And they have hit Russia's nuclear infrastructure.  Ukraine seems to be the golden apple of the West - I've read that it's the center of the New World Order.  It's of great value to the West, obviously.
 
What does the West expect Russia to do now?  Just sit there and take it?   No country would just take hits inside their territory without responding.  And it's known that Russia could not win a conventional war against Europe and the U.S. - Russia would have to resort to using tactical nukes.  Is that the West's plan?
 
It's been surprising to me that the West, including the U.S. has made so many military announcements of aid and weapons in 'in your face; news - I don't remember that during other wars...they've announced how many weapons and what kind of weapons they are sending to Ukraine, how many bombs, how much ammo - what port they are unloading in, even pictures of the equipment in the ports, how they are traveling to Ukraine, how many visits they are making to Kyiv, what agreements they've made for aid to Kyiv, and now they've announced the use of their weapons for direct hits on Russia.  Just escalating this step by step.  Aren't those suppose to be 'secret' or sort of secret?  Who tells their enemy what they are doing?  Unless they are goading them into a bigger war? 
 
Did the West think this would make Russia back down when they saw all the ammo and bombs that were being shipped to Ukraine?  And all the money?  Putin/Russia will not back down to the West.  And the West knows this.  Because the West has a plan for Russia...
 
As for the connection to Ezekiel 38:
 
"And I will turn you around, put hooks in your jaws, and bring you out with all your army - your horses, your horsemen in full armor, and a great company armed with shields and bucklers, all brandishing their swords."  Ezekiel 38:4 Berean Standard Bible
 
Gog is obviously drug into this attack...he is turned around - and brought forth.  He seems to be against going in initially, but he is 'turned around'.  Something 'makes him change his mind' - and Gog decides to do this attack.  Something happens that he just can't ignore or continue to ignore.  He "devises an evil scheme/makes an evil plan" as "things come into his mind"
 
This Gog War comes swiftly, like a storm.  It seems that the plan involves plunder and booty.
 
IF Gog is Putin - is he being "turned around" now?  Are "hooks being put into his jaws" now?   Will he also, with China, Iran, NK, go against NATO and the U.S. about the same time he moves on Israel?  They could move on NATO/U.S. before they move on Israel - thus no other countries come to Israel's aid.  The attack on Israel could be Part 2.
 
And I find this just an interesting tidbit:  Ezekiel 38:4  "I will turn you around, put hooks in your jaws..."  Put in hooks - Putin.  Putin is still in power in Russia for a reason. God wants him there.
 
Obviously Gog is being driven by something to do this attack.  And the West is doing a lot of that goading now on Putin.
 
 God will save Israel - destroying Gog's armies on the mountains of Israel.  But God does not save the West.
 
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem!
 
Maranatha!
