How the Eagle Stole Christmas

In the pre-dawn hours of Christmas morning 2016, a sudden disaster pierced deeply into the heart of the Bear.  A beloved symbol of national pride, renowned the world over as ambassadors of high Russian culture, met a heart-wrenching end in the waters just off Sochi.  Sixty-four members of the celebrated Alexandrov Ensemble, including five leading soloists,  perished in the Black Sea as the military Tu-154 carrying them to a planned New Year’s concert in Syria went down in a suspicious crash right after take-off.

The scope of this tragic loss may escape the cult followers of what passes for culture in the mass-marketed west, and certainly the western media has paid scant attention, but the loss to both the Russian state and its people terminally overshadowed Christmas celebrations, turning it into an official national day of mourning.  Across the nation outdoor Christmas festivities were cancelled, holiday TV programming was shelved and the hearts of Russians everywhere were turned from Christmas cheer to very personal shock, grief and disbelief.  Men of honour, known and loved by all, were taken from both their immediate families and their national family in a cruel irony as they set out on a mission of joy and peace.  Along with them, all crew members, a doctor and numerous journalists were also lost.

While the true nature of this incident has not yet come to public light, all thinking people should reflect on the relentless succession of provocations that the Eagle has been meting out to the Bear as it rides the White Horse of regime change and its war on terror in the name of its deathbed democracy.  From fomenting rebellion in Georgia, manipulating world oil markets to cripple the Russian economy, destabilizing Ukraine and leveraging that carnage into even larger scale anti-Russian sanctions, sponsoring terror and treachery in Syria to spearheading the ostracism of Russian Olympic athletes and suspicious assassinations of Russian diplomats, there is no front on which the Bear has not suffered covert acts of aggression.  The arrogance has ratcheted up recently as the clear will of the American people is rejected by the drunkards of Ephraim [Isa 28:1-3] and blamed on Russia with statements like, “We’re sending a message.  We have the capacity to do it.” “Our goal continues to be to send a clear message to Russia or others not to do this to us because we can do stuff to you.”  “We need to take action. And we will — at the time and place of our choosing.”  “He’ll [Putin] know it. It will be at the time of our choosing — and under the circumstances that have the greatest impact.”  Will the public know it?  “Hope not.”, was the response in mid Oct.

In 1991 the former Soviet Union dissolved as Russia suffered the humiliating loss of the cubs of its former satellite states when it formally lost the cold war on Dec 25, the last day the USSR’s flag flew.  Since then the Eagle has been gathering them into its nest while advancing on the Bear itself.  The current Russian leadership has not forgotten those cubs, but even if the sting of those losses has been softened by a new openness and a transition from an atheist state to one now embracing its former Christian values, one that should be a natural ally of the west, this fresh, painfully intimate loss, 25 years later to the day, surely rips open those wounds and adds new, bitter ones.  These new cubs are lost not only by the state but by every Russian who loved and honoured these men and their proud heritage of excellence that transcended the Soviet era, for 90 years shining as ambassadors of a Russian spirit that withstood and overcame many great evils.  This wound has pierced to the heart of the nation and it will it not be soon healed.  At an all-too-near point, with cunning wisdom and the savage rage of a bear bereft of her cubs, the cruel provocations will be answered, as it is written:

Hos 13:8   I will meet them like a bear deprived of her cubs;
I will tear open their rib cage, and there I will devour them like a lion.

The Great Divide

By God’s great grace and mercy we have made it through the fall harvest period of 2016 without the coming calamity striking.  We can now look ahead to the next harvest period: the early spring harvest of Passover.

Meanwhile a profound change is taking visible shape in America.  The long dormant seeds of faith, which were its foundation, have begun to swell and sprout anew.  The forces of destruction from within Ephraim have run up against a growing groundswell of opposition that has finally drawn a line: this far and no farther will we retreat.  The Word reveals that Ephraim/America, the Eagle, will be given a new heart and will return to his maker in a tremendous revival of faith, and now its shadowy form can be seen rising in a new, grass-roots push-back against the legions of enemies of the Cross.

We have never seen the ever-widening division in America so sharply defined.  The electoral map of Nov 8 2016 reflects this deepening polarization between left and right, with the left being heavily concentrated in the largest urban centres, particularly the coastal metropolises.  The ‘left’ and ‘right’ paradigms resonate with poignancy when one considers that the left largely constitutes the ‘goat’ forces of rebellion and social annihilation while the ‘sheep’ on the right hand lean toward traditional American Biblical values underpinned by the Bedrock of Christian faith.

Along with the rise of the right, we are seeing a doubling down of the intransigent rebel left as they launch ever more histrionic counter offensives at every opportunity.  Never before have we seen such a hardened, hysterical and hypocritical refusal to accept a lawful, democratic result.  Their full assault on democracy and decency itself is truly reaching a breaking point where the two sides can no longer co-exist.  When that breaking point comes it will be no minor event.  For the left, it is a take-no-prisoners fight to conquer and enslave or kill, while the right seeks to hold on to those things which are essential for liberty and peace.  Fortunately, Bible prophets tell us in advance which way it will break.  It becomes increasingly and painfully clear why the coming nuclear holocaust will need to focus on these coastal centres of incorrigible rebellion against the Great Shepherd’s flock and against every Biblical precept.  While the global actors mean it for evil, and no punishment is pleasant, God will mean it for Ephraim’s good, for his very salvation, in fact.

In all this it may be tempting to accord President Trump with a status beyond his power.  There is no doubt the USA would have been immeasurably worse off without his electoral win, yet the fact remains that the ancient prophecies for Ephraim/America are not changed or diminished in any way.  The feathers will come off the Eagle when its financial system implodes.  The Eagle will lose three ribs/cities in a nuclear showdown with the Bear and in the aftermath of that fiery furnace, repentance will bloom across the heartland.  Trump is a very hopeful and welcome sign but we must remember that our Great Shepherd is Jesus Christ and no other.  He can raise up political leaders useful to Him in His purposes, and Trump needs our prayers, but like grass, leaders flourish and fade quickly.  We just don’t know who will survive the loss of those three ribs.

The powers behind the visible left, the globalists in high places, have suffered major defeats in 2016.  Their planned take-down of America is central to their plans for a new world order and the real blowback has yet to manifest.  They cannot allow a patriot like Donald J. Trump to make good on his agenda to restore America’s former economic powerhouse.  Every attempt to stop him has so far failed but there is more to come.  Barring assassination, it appears that they will not stop him attaining the presidency on Jan 20.  We can expect the globalist’s most desperate measures to come soon after as they cannot afford to leave a determined and industrious leader like Trump much time to work.  He already has more of a running head start than any President-elect in history and his cabinet appointments have made clear that he is earnest about his agenda.

More will be published here in the coming days about how the “three-ribs” prophecies may unfold over the next few months in light of this great division crystalizing before us.  As in the days of Korah’s rebellion, to be found opposing the hand of the Lord may carry dire consequences.  The parallels between ancient Israel and the modern Lion-Eagle make for fascinating and illuminating study.

From the White Horse’s Mouth

Rev 6:2 And I looked, and behold, a white horse. He who sat on it had a bow; and a crown was given to him, and he went out conquering and to conquer.

Perhaps the most chilling moment of the past couple of weeks came during the final presidential debate when the candidate for the current regime gave a stern warning to the military generals who will be ordered to launch nuclear weapons.   Totally out of context for the question and responses at hand, it was a strange and haunting non sequitur, delivered by a demon clothed in angelic white.

That moment is featured in this video which condenses the reality of the very grave war the current regime is determined to wage.
