New
Israeli-Russian Union & Ezekiel 38-39

Those evil Israelis. That’s the eye-view of most of the world, yet they have recently brought several of the severely injured Beslan school children to Israel for treatment. Russian surgeons simply don’t have the experience of mending such injuries that the Islamofascists perpetrated on the children a few weeks ago in the school rampage.
Michael Cherney, Israeli founder of an organization to help victims of terror in Israel says, “Since terror knows no borders, neither should our solidarity in fighting this evil and helping its victims.”
Russia has gratefully accepted the help. Contrast that with Iran’s refusal of any help from Israel after an earthquake which devastated Iran last year. Better that an Iranian child die than be saved by a Jew! Yet many on the “Arab street” blame the Jews for the Islamic slaughter of the Russian children just as they blamed the Jews for 9/11. Critics blame the Russian mafia for everything including the Beslan school incident when, in fact, Chechan Islamic terror dreams up more evil than the Russian mafia can possibly imagine, as evil as they are.
The Beslan slaughter shocked the world. Islamic Mullahs are even denouncing some of their radical Islamic brothers for the very first time. Doesn’t the world know that Jewish children in Israel have been murdered for years by Arafat, Islamic Jihad, and Hamas? Included are teens on a beach in Tel Aviv (all Russian immigrant kids), children on school busses in Israel, moms and kids in pizza parlors, drive-by shootings, and much more. The toll of the massacre of Israeli children is astronomical considering its small population. Where was the outrage at these events? Where were the Muslim cleric’s denunciations then? Just dead silence.
A number of Russian children fighting for their lives will likely survive because of big, bad Israel.
Another twist since Beslan: Russia now plans to work with Israel in its war on terror. Guess what? Our State Department, led by Colin Powell, has objected! He’s going apoplectic. The State Department remains the biggest embarrassment in the U.S. government. Are the inmates running that asylum?
But don’t think the new Israeli-Russian cooperation will change the Bible’s prophetic plan outlined in Ezekiel 38-39: The Russian invasion of Israel. Russia is still a communist nation at heart and will therefore still “think an evil thought” and invade, likely with her Islamic Republics in the south. This could be a pre-Tribulation war or perhaps immediately after the start of the Tribulation. God will bring Israel to soundly conquer the invaders and the passage says He will get all the glory as Israel will not have help of any intervening nations.
