The Jerusalem Post reported that the U.S. was sending two more aircraft carriers into the gulf to accompany the two U.S. naval battle groups already in the region. I find it amazing that this story wasn’t picked up the the U.S. news media! I waited before posting this blog to see if the U.S. would confirm or deny the story — it hasn’t done either.
It certainly appears that the U.S. and Israel are preparing for war. The war drums are beating so loudly that Europe is doing all it can to prevent a full blown war in the region — so it imposed yet another round of sanctions on Iran yesterday. But how effective can sanctions be when Russia and China are more than willing to profit when the world tries to strangle Iran financially?
For example this past spring, China’s state-run oil company announced it would move forward on a $70 billion contract to purchase liquefied natural gas and develop the Yadavaran oil field in southwest Iran. Russia continues to sell Iran billions of dollars worth of nuclear technology as well as some of its most advanced radar and anti-aircraft weaponry.
With a war is breaking out in Georgia now — I’m wondering how much will this preoccupy Russia? Along with the situation in Georgia — China is hosting the Olympic Games for the next few weeks. So now, I’m pondering the Russian and Chinese factor — how will this play into the minds of military planners?
Until next time…

All Christians should realize the seriousness of these things that are happening and be on our knees in serious prayer to be discerning. These are signs of the end times and we are in them. Hazeline Long

I see many things in the physical realm lining up in scripture and the spiritual realm. The war in Georgia is about killing Jews. Gori has many Jewish people living there - many have fled, but many are unable to flee. This is the last generation. May the Messiah come!
