John and Doves,

Erick Stakelbeck has an excellent video concerning how strategic the Red Sea

is in regards to commerce, oil and transportation.

My husband Jim and I were fortunate in 1980 to be in Israel for the month of September. Eilat, Israel was a favorite tour spot for us. 

( pronounced eye-lot).

We were right there where 4 countries meet: Israel, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt. It was amazing to see Egypt (Sinai) across the Red Sea, and to picture the Red Sea parting.

Erick and Major Elliott Chodoff IDF explain in this video how strategic the Red Sea is ....how, if captured, it could be used as a choke-point by Iran that would bring countries to their knees.

The Red Sea is a global waterday, connecting with the oceans.

As we watch this extremely informative video, let us consider how vulnerable the Red Sea is.

Comment:

I would not be surprised if *China* helps Iran in this endeavor as they have a Commercial Port/Naval Base just south of the entry way to the Red Sea in Dijoubiti, Ethiopia.

Doraleh is their Chinese Naval Base.

This area is also the Horn of Africa...the choke-point of the Person Gulf.

Will a future Gas Crisis be forth coming?

Let us pray for our forces in the Middle East, as well as for the Peace of Israel

and Jerusalem.
