The Russian Military is Preparing for a Nuclear War

Listen to Today's Program

JD: Ken, let us get to the activities around this world that we need to have a discussion about. First of all, I don’t know how true this is, I saw it on one of the British newspapers that Russian soldiers are preparing for a nuclear war and it has involved some 40 million of the Russian citizens, what do you know?

KT: Well, the Russians announced this civil defense exercise that took place earlier this month in Moscow, 40 million people were involved. It’s clear that they had soldiers in nuclear protective gear in chemical hazmat gear evacuating people from office buildings, and from apartment buildings, setting up temporary hospitals, triage centers and the rest of it; the type of evacuation that they would, in fact, have to deploy in the event of a massive war or a massive emergency situation.

Why the Russians are doing this is unclear right now, but certainly this does come at a time of these much increased tensions between the United States and Russia. And Russian statements that they would use nuclear weapons, they do have a first strike policy to using nuclear weapon.

JD: Ken Timmerman, from the catbird seat in Washington DC reporting on the Russian preparations for a nuclear war.

We report this information because it is setting the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

Russia will be the leader of a major war in the near future.

The book of Revelation foretells of such a war, that’s Revelation 6:3-4, which would be the second sealed judgment, this war is the Ezekiel 38 war, where Gog in the land of Magog, which is Russia, will be a part of an end time scenario when a group of nations come together in the Middle East to try to wipe out the Jewish state of Israel.

The Bible doesn’t say that this will be a nuclear war, but instead, a major war in the Middle East as this coalition comes together to annihilate the Jewish state. Joining with Gog, the leader of Russia will be a number of other states in the Middle East that are very much so in the news. The major players would be Russia, Ezekiel 38:2, Iran Ezekiel 38:5, and Daniel 11:40 the king of the north is what we know today is Syria, and one of the other nations mentioned, Turkey that’s Ezekiel 38:2&6.

As we look at the Middle East today Syria at Israel’s northern boarder with Russia, Iran, and Turkey inside their country are ready to fulfill the prophecy that’s laid out in these prophetic books and they seem to be ready to fulfill this prophecy at any moment.

Many Christians are now very stressed out about the upcoming presidential election

Listen to Today's Program

JD: Many believers seem to be very stressed out about this election, are we placing too much emphasis on the political process?

DJ: Well I think we are, there are several Biblical principles that we need to keep in mind as believers. One is that the Lord is absolutely sovereign and He is in control. Daniel was taken captive to Babylon and Daniel moved to a position of one of the highest places in the Babylonian government, he completely submitted himself to the Lord. We read in Daniel 2:21 concerning the Lord that He removes kings and raises up kings, He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to those who have an understanding.

So we understand that we should be trusting the Lord, it’s wrong for Christians to worry. We do the best we can but we trust the Lord for the outcome.

JD: Let me ask you this then David, one of the arguments frequently given for voting for one candidate over another is related to the appointment of Supreme Court justices is this a reliable measure?

DJ: That’s a great question; I did some research into this. I looked back at the Supreme Court justice nominations all the way back to President Nixon and there have been twenty supreme court justice's who have been appointed during that time, and of those sixteen of them have been appointed by republican presidents and only four of them have been appointed by democratic presidents. This is not necessarily a good measure because we are in the situation we’re in with Roe v Wade, the ruling on same sex marriage, and various things that have been brought up over the past fifty years.

We’re looking at decisions made by a supreme court that has been largely appointed by republican presidents. So, I think it’s a little bit of an illusion to think that this is going to make a major difference and it doesn’t always turn out the way you want.

JD: Very important input from my broadcast partner David James.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

God put in place human government some 3,500 years ago to lead this world into the future.

Genesis 9:6 is the record of how God established human government as an institution so that He could use it to direct His people that He created, located here on the earth.

Down through the centuries God has used human government to accomplish His will in the lives of human kind. Today and into the future we will see that God will continue to use human government, Revelation 17:17, where it reveals how the Lord will put in place the future, the millennial kingdom, and use human government to bring that about.

Today we must continue to trust Gods plan by obeying those in human government, Romans 13, and pray for those in those places of higher authority, that’s I Timothy 2:1-4.
