    A grim “urgent action memorandum” issued today from the office of President Putin to the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation is ordering a “massive military strike” against Saudi Arabia in the event that the West attacks Syria.
    According to Kremlin sources familiar with this extraordinary “war order,” Putin became “enraged” after his early August meeting with Saudi Prince Bandar bin Sultan who warned that if Russia did not accept the defeat of Syria, Saudi Arabia would unleash Chechen terrorists under their control to cause mass death and chaos during the Winter Olympics scheduled to be held 7-23 February 2014 in Sochi, Russia.
    Lebanese newspaper As-Safir confirmed this amazing threat against Russia saying that Prince Bandar pledged to safeguard Russia’s naval base in Syria if the Assad regime is toppled, but he also hinted at Chechen terrorist attacks on Russia’s Winter Olympics in Sochi if there is no accord by stating: “I can give you a guarantee to protect the Winter Olympics next year. The Chechen groups that threaten the security of the games are controlled by us.”

    Prince Bandar went on to say that Chechens operating in Syria were a pressure tool that could be switched on an off. “These groups do not scare us. We use them in the face of the Syrian regime but they will have no role in Syria’s political future.”

    Good News! Good News???

    And so we move closer and closer to the end...maybe some of us will live to see if He is coming back to remove the church before all hades breaks loose, or during the middle of the fiasco, and then again, maybe we'll see the entire seven years!

    I expect this will draw the ire and tongue lashings of those who disagree with anything other than pre-trib predictions!​


    So let me ask one question!

    If He does in fact TARRY, will you, your family and the church be able to hold on until the rapture happens?

    AND, please don't cop out with the pat response that we'll not have to answer that because we'll be gone before it all starts....let's for one minute play devils advocate and ask if you feel prepared to deal with a mid or late rapture date?

    This may surprise you, but I am ready for all three. In other words I will not be disappointed or unprepared should things start happening that pre-tribs say we'll surely not see! And for sure, I will be the first in line to celebrate a pre-trib jump from here to heaven!

    If the early Christians had to face tribulation, trials and persecution....what makes each of us so much different; or, so special to think [I call it spiritual arrogance] we will be spared the same?

    I am merely asking: Are you, and will you be ready, REGARDLESS??? :wavey:

    Russia isn't capable of mounting a "massive" anything militarily.

    These are the kind of posts that you see when one doesn't understand the purpose of the great tribulation. To think God would pour out His wrath on His Son again is reprehensible.

    But to answer the hypothetical question, am I ready? Nobody under the stress and duress of death can answer this until that moment. I believe God would grant me the grace to handle anything, and would lean on Him at that moment...but I am still flesh, too. Its foolish for anyone to adamantly declare their readiness in light of Peter denying Christ thrice.

    won't happen...because Putin is a heck of a lot smarter than Obama....what he's doing, IMHO, is giving the US (or Obama) a dose of how it feels for an ally to be attacked.....
    even if Obama does attack Syria, Putin knows given the "reasons" for the attack, Obama will have the tacit approval of most everybody else, including Muslims outside of the Brotherhood and the Al-Qaeda umbrella....and even if he does attack the KSA, he's totally risking it, as they say, and he knows that....so, like Kruschev before him, he'll huff and he'll puff, and make a false charge, only to stop at the last moment....
    what I would like to know is, why the dickens does this country, the US, always have to be the 'big momma' who charges the bully and everyone else her cheering squad ?
    why can't England or Australia or Germany be the big mommas for once and US the 'supporting' role ?

    Such a strange post.:laugh: Who is ever "ready" to face tribulation, trials and persecution? We pray that God be our strength to carry us just as He always has.

    But we face stuff right now where we lose sight of Him and panic or get off track. So ready may not be the right word.

    But then again, folks can hang around. I'm planning on gettin' on up out of here when Jesus comes to reinforce the truthfulness of His word.

    10 and to wait for His Son from heaven, whom He raised from the dead, even Jesus who delivers us from the wrath to come. 1 Thess. 1:10:thumbsup:

    okay...I'm with you there...what is Israel doing ? why does it have to be American troops who "buy the land" ? fwiw, I'm just a cog in the cog of the cog but I'm totally against involvement in this.

    Are you not aware of the relationship with the US and Israel and how that works?

    <Sigh> Yes, I am. Why haven't we heard a thing about the U.S. consulting with Israel? Or Israel's position in the alleged chemical weapons attack? Where is the video of Israeli's pulling out their gas masks?

    <sigh>I don't know why? Are you assuming that because you have not seen it that it is not happening? What was your method to confirm that assumption as true? What were your sources?

    I have friends in Israel. They passed out the gas masks months ago in anticipation of Assad doing just as he has. Not sure if everyone has them though.
