The Nose-ring of (in-)Security

 

Without specifying why, ’70s theological and prophetic rumor-mill had it that communist Russia had been eying Israel, for some time, as a strategic point from which they could control the world.  This thought, too, is most compelling when one considers that it has been said that the most convenient route for the flow of oil out of the Middle East to the rest of the world is through the land of the Jews.  With two-thirds of global supplies stored in that area, assuming the foregoing is true, control of God’s country would indeed place the holder (like Russia) in a unique position of considerable “clout”.  If she can knock Israel off, Jordan would not be a problem, and all the other Arab nations, for the time being, are in Russia’s corner.  Others like the Chinese—as well as Great Britain, and the Germans—will be eying with ambition this same piece of prime real estate, realizing its value, but, she will have the high ground, as it were—the high ground being in this case Israel.  From that vantage point she can practically dictate the terms of war with any detractors, insofar as she and the Arab world will control the lion’s share of all the world’s crude, and natural gas (the top three producers of crude are all in that general part of the world:  the Saudis, the Iranians and the Russians, in that order.).  No nation today can wage war without adequate supplies of petroleum, and its derivatives.  For reasons to be covered later, no one will be able to match her military might, built around her nuke arsenal (even as she languishes; though weak and, apparently, suffering the pangs of many setbacks, she is still nevertheless, as she is quick to point out, a force to be reckoned with; this, no one is likely to question); no nation will have her resources; it will therefore, be in the best interests of all to stand with her (if current interpretations and understandings surrounding what is knowable of the history of “Gomer” hold any water at all, then, certain if not all the ‘key’ factions of the “Celtic” peoples including the Germans, will be confederate with the Russo/Islamic federation.  That is, “Gomer” is in all likelihood a reference to all of Western Europe, particularly those areas once peopled and dominated by the Celts.  Thus, it appears Russia will come, having gotten this point across already).  With the Jews gone, and a beachhead in Palestine, Russia, it will think, can buy a moment’s peace of mind, and a bit of security from the enemy most likely and most capable of exploitation in her time of weakness.  Given the aforementioned nose-rings, it cannot be, but that, the security (of knowing she does not have to contend with the presence of the self-styled Jew any longer) will be a prime motivator driving her against the people of God, into the arms of a hellish destruction.  Realistically, but for these reasons, there does not appear on the surface to be any other good, solid nose-ring on earth as to why a nation 876.2 times bigger than Israel would ever want to bypass must larger lands, only to invest heavily in the conquest of something so small—except as it be, as we have been told, for the hand of Almighty God!
