Foxes Are in Charge of The Hen Houses”… For Now

LAST DAYS RETURN TO DAYS OF LOT AND SEXUAL IMMORALITY PROMOTED

Biden said in his SOTU Address, I Have the Backs of ‘Younger Transgender Americans’ So They Can Be [Themselves] and Reach [Their] ‘God-Given Potential. Ben Shapiro responded to Biden’s speech. “On issue after issue, Joe Biden is not merely wrong; he is aggressively wrong; he is not merely foolish, he is stubbornly foolish. Joe Biden became president with one goal: to enshrine himself in history as a great leader. Today, we can safely say that he is one of the worst leaders in American history.”

Extra Gum Ad: Chew It Before You Do It is the tagline for a recent Extra gum ad campaign. One of the commercials features a young couple in the girl’s bedroom when the guy notices creepy dolls displayed around the room. This makes him uncomfortable, so he becomes even more nervous about sitting on the bed with his girlfriend and what that will lead to. He begins to chew a piece of Extra gum to calm his nerves. The ad’s tagline, “Chew It Before You Do It,” confirms that the commercial is insinuating that the couple will have sex and that chewing a piece of Extra gum relieves the awkwardness of what’s about to happen. The ad airs during prime time and targets teens.

LAST DAYS TRAITORS ABOUND

Biden’s energy strategy helps Putin and hurts Americans. The US imports nearly 600,000 barrels of oil a day from Russia—an amount that could have been made up for by the more than 800,000 barrels of oil the Keystone XL pipeline is capable of delivering each day if the Biden administration hadn’t stood in the way. As Putin conducts his evil and unprovoked attack on Ukraine, now more than ever we must cut off our energy dependence on Russia while turning up our energy production here at home. On his first day in office, Biden signed an executive order to block the Keystone XL pipeline. With the stroke of a pen, he wiped out thousands of jobs and set the tone for how his administration would approach the U.S. energy industry. He even doubled down on this strategy by banning new oil and gas development on public land.

Excerpt from Joel Rosenberg at AllIsrael.com. Biden delivers weakest State of the Union address I’ve ever heard – no mention of Israel, no mention of Iran threat, no plan to stop Putin, how is that possible? How could Biden not lay out a clear and compelling plan to arm Ukraine to truly defend itself from Russian invaders, especially with a 40-mile convoy of Russian battle tanks and troops bearing down on Kyiv at this hour? How could he not mention the mortal threat facing the U.S., Israel, and our moderate Arab allies from a nuclear-armed Iranian regime fully backed by a nuclear-armed Putin regime? A Russian dictator invading and occupying one country after another and no one taking decisive measures to stop him is relevant to everyone living in Israel and the Arab/Muslim world. American weakness is an invitation to evil forces to rob, kill and destroy. And history tells us that Israel and the Jewish people are always in the crosshairs when evil men are on the loose.

Digital Brownshirts and Their Masters. Fact-checkers will attack anyone who does not accept the truth as dictated by the powers that be. The prime objective of fact-checkers is to use algorithms to harvest and manage citizen information, and in this way, usher in a new era in which the minds of individuals will be so seamlessly “pre-directed” to so-called “positive” and “benevolent” ends and behaviors (as so defined by the members of the enlightened classes) that politics in all its forms will come to be seen as superfluous. Google and Facebook currently employ 40,000 “verifiers” who exercise an invisible censorship aimed at swaying our perceptions of the world in ways deemed to be “constructive” by the controllers of those firms and those with whom they have forged political and business alliances.

Socialist archbishop inspired architect of the so-called ‘Great Reset.’ ‘Great Reset’ leader Klaus Schwab has said that a meeting with Brazilian Archbishop Hélder Câmara was “a crucial moment” in his life.

INIQUITY SHALL ABOUND

Cities Keep Trying to Stop Churches from Helping the Homeless. This article is surprisingly from the left-leaning Vice.com.

Minneapolis resident speaks out on constant gunfire: ‘I can’t see this turning around.’ A north Minneapolis night was punctuated by gunfire last week as over 50 shots rang out. A resident who recorded the sound said the violence has escalated in the city, and he “can’t see this turning around…. The city is basically lost, and it’s only a matter of time before everyone figures that out.” Minneapolis is a Demo-crat stronghold, and it’s their policies behind all the madness in this city and others.

THE PLANNED-DEMIC AND ITS CONSEQUENCES

The Leftist Yahoo shared this. CHD Says Pfizer & FDA Dropped Data Bombshell on COVID Vaccine Consumers. Clinical trial data contradicts ‘safe & effective’ government/industry mantra. The FDA is, for the first time, allowing the public to access data Pfizer submitted from its clinical trials in support of a COVID vaccine license. This follows Judge Pittman’s decision Jan 6 to deny FDA’s request to suppress the data for 75 years. Included is an Appendix listing 1,291 different adverse events following vaccination.

A National Vaccine Pass Has Quietly Rolled Out – Red States Are Also Getting on Board. Even as the omicron variant loosens its grip on the world, destinations continue to require travelers show proof of vaccination. And, increasingly, a paper CDC vaccine card is not cutting it. To date, 21 states plus D.C. and Puerto Rico offer accessibility to the SMART Health Card, a verifiable digital proof of vaccination developed through Vaccination Credential Initiative (VCI), a global coalition of public and private stakeholders including Microsoft, Salesforce, Oracle, Mayo Clinic and other health and tech heavyweights. Soon, at least four more states will be rolling out access to SMART Health Cards.

Multiple Truck Convoys Converge in Indiana for Large Rally En Route To DC to protest against COVID-19 restrictions and mandates.

In Canada: Ontario gov’t shuts down 39 trucking businesses for taking part in Freedom Convoy protest against Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) restrictions.

Survey: Two-thirds of Israeli respondents report having adverse reaction to COVID booster shots. Israel carried out a survey of 2,049 of its citizens 3 to 4 weeks after they received a third dose of the COVID vaccine to determine the scope of adverse reactions caused by the jab. Adverse events ranged from mild to serious. Altogether, 66% of interviewees reported at least one adverse reaction. Nearly half of these reported having difficulties performing daily activities as a result.

The Plandemic Enters Final Stage, Real Purpose Exposed. What’s happening in Canada should be a sobering wake-up call for the whole world. Governments intend to control dissent through financial blackmail, which is why they’re also pushing for programmable central bank digital currencies (CBDCs). Programmable currency is digital cash programmed to ensure it can only be spent on essentials or goods that an employer or government deems to be sensible. In other words, the issuer of the money would have complete control over how you spend your own money, and could punish you for undesirable opinions or behavior by restricting your purchasing ability or seizing your funds altogether.

FOOD INSECURITY

What the Russian invasion of Ukraine could mean for global hunger. Extended conflict in Ukraine could raise food prices around the world and hit the already hungry hardest. Given Russia’s and Ukraine’s enormous roles in providing food for the world, particularly wheat, instability in the region’s food production and exports could have consequences well beyond the theater of war. Russia is also the world’s largest fertilizer exporter, and pre-conflict fertilizer price spikes have already contributed to the rise in food prices. Further disruption would damage agriculture in Europe, potentially contributing to even higher food prices around the world. Ukrainian agriculture is more likely to be affected by direct conflict as farmers are pushed off their farms, while port closures are already limiting exports. “In 2-3 weeks, farmers could start the planting season in Ukraine, but Russia’s invasion changed everything.”

Tribulation Scripture, Third Seal Judgment: “And I heard what seemed to be a voice in the midst of the four living creatures, saying, ‘A quart of wheat for a denarius, and three quarts of barley for a denarius…” (Revelation 6:5-6). This represents a day’s wages.

EXTREME WEATHER EVENTS

Australia’s east coast reels from worst floods in living memory. The east coast of Australia has been battered by over a week of torrential rain as communities begin to survey the wreckage of fatal flash flooding that has left townships looking like war zones. South-east Queensland and the north coast of New South Wales have borne the brunt of the “one in-1,000 year” catastrophic weather conditions, which have claimed at least 17 lives.

Over 6,000 evacuated due to massive wildfire in South Korea driven by strong winds and dry weather. As of Saturday afternoon, 4,296 firefighters were battling the blaze with 46 helicopters and 273 firetrucks deployed, focusing their efforts on blocking the southward spread of the fire and on protecting the nuclear, gas and power facilities.

WARS AND RUMORS OF WARS

“Aren’t We Financing [Russia’s] War?” Psaki Savaged by Press Over U.S. Oil Policy. Biden Press Secretary Jen Psaki got into quite the cat fight with Fox News’s Jacqui Heinrich over U.S. reliance on Russian oil and whether America is ‘financing the war’ in Ukraine by continuing to do so. This current administration’s disastrous policies are deliberately destroying this nation. Shutting down our pipeline and relying on Russian oil puts us in quite a predicament, just like what is occurring in Europe.

Putin puts nuclear forces on high alert, escalating tensions. Citing “aggressive statements” by NATO and tough financial sanctions, Putin issued a directive to increase the readiness of Russia’s nuclear weapons, raising fears that the invasion of Ukraine could lead to nuclear war, whether by design or mistake. Russia claims its assault is aimed only at military targets; yet bridges, schools, and residential neighborhoods have also been hit, and citizens, including children, have been killed.

Lukashenko tells Russian media: Sanctions pushing Russia ‘toward third world war.’ The authoritarian leader of Belarus, Alexander Lukashenko, told Russian media that Western sanctions are pushing Russia toward a new world war. “A great deal is being said about the banking sector. Gas, oil, SWIFT. It’s worse than war. Russia is being pushed toward a third world war.” He added, “We should be very reserved and steer clear of it. Because nuclear war is the end of everything.” He says the U.S. is the “sole beneficiary” of the war and says Belarus and Moscow will enact “painful” sanctions against the West.

America’s nuke-resistant ‘doomsday plane’ spotted doing training mission. The U.S. Air Force’s nuclear-bomb-resistant “doomsday plane” took to the U.S. skies for a brief training mission on Feb. 28, shortly after Putin announced he’d be putting his country’s nuclear forces on high alert. During this brief sortie, the plane was reportedly accompanied by several early-warning jets used to track ballistic missiles.

Ukraine foils assassination attempt on President Zelensky by Chechen special unit. A unit of Chechen special forces Chechen special forces was sent on a mission to assassinate Ukraine’s President Zelensky, and was “eliminated.” The Russian Chechen unit is comprised mostly of Muslims. In another report, a controversial group of Ukrainian fighters (who have been part of Ukraine’s National Guard since the 2014 Russian invasion of Crimea) greased their bullets with pig fat, which would be considered unclean to the Chechen fighters that Putin’s henchman and Chechen strongman Ramzan Kadyrov is sending in to help try to conquer Ukraine.

‘We Need More Bibles’: Ukraine Store Runs Out of Bibles as People Encounter Scripture For ‘First Time Ever’ Amid Crisis. The thirst for hope and the spread of uncertainty are so rampant in Ukraine that at least one Christian store ran out of Bibles. Robert Briggs, president/CEO of American Bible Society, said, “As people grapple with [the] unknown, many are experiencing the Bible’s message for the first time ever.”

Ukrainians who remember Stalin’s ‘murder by starvation’ are fighting back. Ukrainians have long memories. 80-year-old grandmothers, remembering Stalin’s famine tactics and repression, are joining Ukrainian resistance groups, learning how to use weapons. 160,000 Russian troops are vastly outnumbered by 44 million Ukrainians, and crowds of Ukrainians are stopping tanks.

Poll: 62% of Americans say Putin would not have invaded Ukraine if Trump were president. According to a new survey by Harris Poll with the Harvard Center for American Political Studies, 62% of respondents said if Trump were in the White House, the attack on Ukraine would not have happened. This includes 85% of Republicans, 63% of Independents, and 38% of Democrats. 59% of respondents think Putin invaded Ukraine because he recognizes weakness in Biden. Trump: “I stand as the only president of the 21st century on whose watch Russia did not invade another country…. We are praying for the proud people of Ukraine. God bless them all,” Trump added.

Russia Acting as Negotiator for Biden Administration in Iran Nuclear Deal. On Wednesday, almost a week after Russia invaded Ukraine, it was announced that Russia was part of the negotiations between the U.S. and Iran over its nuclear program. SERIOUSLY?! Folks, we’ve got foxes in charge of the hen houses.

Agreement to restore Iran nuclear deal expected within days. With Russia’s involvement in the deal, it raises the possibility of financial benefit for Russia in a new deal, like payments to take Iranian uranium, or having to remove sanctions from Russia in order for the deal to go through.

New Iran nuke deal will bring ‘more violent’ Mideast, warns Israeli PM. Israel’s Prime Minister Naftali Bennett said the emerging deal over Iran’s nuclear program is less stringent than the previous one and would create a “more violent, more volatile Middle East.”

EMMANUEL MACRON STEPS UP E.U. ARMY PLAN TO DETER RUSSIAN THREAT; SAYS EUROPE “MUST PAY THE PRICE FOR PEACE.” Hmmm…. The European Union must move towards the creation of an E.U. army after Putin’s invasion of Ukraine, Macron said. He added that Europe has to accept that it must “pay the price for peace.” Jupiter Man Macron said E.U. leaders would meet to discuss plans to pool military resources on March 10 at a summit in Versailles.

CONCLUDING SCRIPTURE

Things seem to be falling apart, but they’re actually coming together prophetically.

“Thus saith the Lord the King of Israel, and his redeemer the Lord of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God. And who, as I, shall call, and shall declare it, and set it in order for me, since I appointed the ancient people? and the things that are coming, and shall come, let them shew unto them. Fear ye not, neither be afraid: have not I told thee from that time, and have declared it? ye are even my witnesses. Is there a God beside me? yea, there is no God; I know not any” (Isaiah 44:6-8).

“Remember this, and shew yourselves men: bring it again to mind, O ye transgressors. Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me, Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, and I will do all my pleasure” (Isaiah 46:8-10).

“The king’s heart is in the hand of the Lord, as the rivers of water: he turneth it whithersoever he will” (Proverbs 21:1).

FOMENTING FORMIDABLE FORCES!

LAST DAYS OF LOT RETURNED

BBC Shows How Kids Can Walk into Metaverse Strip Clubs. A new BBC investigation had come to the same conclusion we at Zero Hedge did last month when they pointed out (here): the dark side of the metaverse and how kids aren’t safe in virtual spaces. The investigation included a 25-year-old BBC journalist who put on Meta’s (formerly known as Facebook) Oculus Quest 2 goggles and spent hours in the virtual-reality VRChat app, posing as a 13-year-old girl. She found examples of child grooming, sexual material, racism, and rape threats.

Operation Wanderlust’ ends with 2 girls safe, men arrested for sex trafficking. Over the course of three months, detectives went undercover to fight solicitation of minors online. Deputies made over 300 contacts and arrested 18 people, half of whom are accused of traveling to meet underage victims. Suspects came from all over Tampa Bay and from all walks of life, one even from wealthy Boca Raton. Suspects included a Florida elementary school principal and a man known to be affiliated with his father’s church, Bethel of Brandon Pentecostal Church. Groomers, pimps, and traffickers use Instagram, Snapchat, Twitter and all of these different platforms to solicit minors, get their information, and groom them for commercial sex.

Supreme Court to decide whether Colorado can force Christian web designer to promote gay weddings. Conservatives are asking the justices to settle a problem they’ve allowed to continue.

Canada’s state media is targeting those who resist LGBT dogmas on ‘misgendering.’ The LGBT movement sets the agenda, the government passes the legislation, activists train the educators, and the state media acts as narrative enforcers.

Kids aren’t protected from LGBT ideology just because they attend Catholic schools. Catholic schools in Canada have caved to the LGBT movement’s agenda. These schools participate in indoctrination of children and teens into new orthodoxies of our progressive age, in which the sexual revolution rather than biblical revelation gives young people instructions on how to live, love, and be good people. A glowing report from Canada’s taxpayer-funded state broadcaster, the CBC, noted that 30 students at Archbishop M.C. O’Neill Catholic High School launched a campaign to send Valentine cards to various people who identify as transgender around the world. The students, who are members of the school’s Gay-Straight Alliance club, sent out 100 cards.

APOSTASY AND DOCTRINES OF DEMONS

Chinese Government Is Rewriting the Bible with Communist Principles, Watchdog Group Warns. The Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP’s) reimagined Scriptures would include Confucianism and Buddhism. Revisions of the Bible will include” ‘core socialist values” and removal of passages that “do not reflect communist beliefs.” One example of changes was revealed in a high school textbook in Sept 2020, where the CCP changed several verses in John 8. The Bible tells us Jesus forgave an adulterous woman despite Pharisees’ calls to stone her to death under Mosaic law. CCP’s translation alters the story to have Christ stoning the woman as He admitted, “I am also a sinner.”

HATRED OF CHRISTIANS

Texas Middle School Teacher has now resigned who said, “Those Conservative Christians Need to Get COVID and Die. She said, “If we would have done it immediately (vaccines), it’d already be gone. That’s what’s frustrating. The rest of my life is impacted because of politics? Because of conservative Christian crap? I’m telling you, those conservative Christians … they need to die … they need to get covid and die.”

LAST DAYS TRAITORS AND GLOBALIST GOBLINS

Pentagon Hosts Event Promoting Socialism. The National Defense University (NDU) is a specialty academic institution founded by the US Dept of Defense and funded by US taxpayers. NDU’s aim is to provide advanced education for senior leaders in the field of national security. So naturally, their big focus now is making the world safer… through Socialism. NDU hosted an event called “Responding to China: The Case for Global Justice and Democratic Socialism.” During the event, French economist Thomas Piketty argued that global security requires “promoting a new emancipatory and egalitarian horizon on a global scale, a new form of democratic and participatory, ecological and post-colonial socialism.” He argued that if the US sticks to its “dated hyper-capitalist model, Western countries may find it extremely difficult to meet the Chinese challenge.” In other words, Piketty believes the US should prepare itself against China by becoming more like China.

While the World Focuses on Ukraine, Globalists Like the World Economic Forum’s Klaus Schwab Charge Ahead. While the world focuses on Ukraine and Russia, there’s a more formidable force that few are aware of – the New World Order. On Feb 22, former US Rep. and current Dean of the Robertson School of Government at Regent University spoke about this. She summarized her thoughts on Ukraine by suggesting that maybe this is just a distraction, keeping our focus on Putin rather than the global elites who are stripping away our civil liberties. Klaus Schwab at the World Economic Forum bragged about Trudeau (who is removing people’s civil liberties) and others in the Canadian Cabinet who were groomed for globalism. In a video that is being removed from some social platforms, Schwab shared on this topic.

The Naked Face of New-Normal Fascism. After three weeks of non-violent civil disobedience outside the Canadian parliament in Ottawa by truckers and other Canadian citizens struggling to uphold their right to not be subjected to forced “vaccination,” Justin Trudeau unleashed the goon squads. Thousands of militarized riot police (and other unidentified heavily-armed operatives) swarmed the area, surrounded the protesters, started breaking into trucks and arresting people, and beating them with batons and the butts of their rifles.

China’s Belt and Road Initiative is Globalism on Steroids. “[The Belt and Road Initiative] is highly consistent with the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. More than 10 UN agencies have signed cooperation agreements with the Chinese side…. Useful idiots and obvious shills are promoting China’s Belt and Road Initiative as though it’s a bulwark against globalism. Their argument is that it’s bad for America; therefore, it’s bad for globalists and good for nationalists. This gives rise to what should be an obvious question: How does a giant transcontinental highway benefit people who value the continued existence of national and regional political borders?

THE PLANNED-DEMIC

CDC Officials Admit Agency Has Withheld Critical Covid Information from the Public, Including Data About Breakthrough Infections, Over Fears of “Vaccine Hesitancy.” According to a new report by the New York Times, The CDC has also been collecting much more detailed data about Covid infections that breaks down by age, race, and vaccination status. The critical information would go a long way towards figuring out an end to the pandemic, but the agency has purposefully suppressed the information from the public over fears that it would be “misinterpreted” and cause “vaccine hesitancy.” In other words, the ‘experts’ in the US public health regime believe the plebs aren’t capable enough to interpret something themselves.

Board Member of Large German Health Insurance Company Sounds the Alarm: Side Effects of COVID Vaccines Much Higher Than Official Reports.

Famous Athlete Demands Investigation: Why Are So Many Players Collapsing on the Field? (Video). British soccer legend and sports commentator Matt Le Tissier spoke out about the disturbing number of athletes who have recently collapsed or died on the playing field. He had never seen anything like it in the 17 years he had played the sport. He is calling for an investigation into the cause of athletes failing health and 5-fold increase in sudden cardiac and unexplained deaths among FIFA players in 2021, most of whom received the Covid “vaccines.”

POLLUTION OF GLOBAL RIVERS

Pharmaceutical pollution plaguing global rivers: study. Pharmaceuticals are polluting waterways on all five continents – doing so at potentially toxic concentrations in over one-fourth of 258 global rivers sampled in a new, multi-institutional study.

EXTREME WEATHER

Death toll from Storm ‘Eunice’ last weekend in Europe reached 14. Deaths were reported in Belgium, Netherlands, Germany, Poland, Irish Republic, and UK.

Argentina Wildfire Destroys Almost 1.3 Million Acres. A devastating wildfire in northern Argentina has devastated over a million acres of land. Firefighters and residents have battled the blaze for weeks. That’s as several South American countries have been hit by drought. The fires have affected a great deal of wildlife. Many animals have been burned by flames, poisoned by smoke, or run over on roads trying to escape the fires.

Major floods as torrential rainfall continues falling over Queensland, Australia. Some areas received over 700 mm (27 inches) over the past 3 of days. Widespread floods have reached major levels in parts of the state and have so far claimed at least 3 lives. This weather event is one of the most severe systems to impact Queensland in recent years, and the rain will continue falling through the day and into the weekend, producing more life-threatening flash flooding.

EARTHQUAKES

Deadly 6.2 Earthquake Strikes Indonesia; Homes, Buildings Collapsed. Searchers in Indonesia continued to dig in the rubble of collapsed buildings and mud from landslides for more victims Saturday, a day after a strong earthquake shook Sumatra island, killing at least eight people, injuring 86 and leaving thousands displaced. Searchers continue to dig into the rubble.

WARS AND RUMORS OF WARS RAMP UP

Continued Tick-tocking Toward Isaiah 17 Fulfillment. Alleged Israeli airstrike targets Damascus. The airstrike comes just a day after Syrian state media reported that Israel had fired a number of surface-to-surface missiles from the Golan Heights towards sites in Quneitra near the border. Last week, a number of sites were targeted by surface-to-surface missiles near Zakyah, south of Damascus. Iranian militias control sites and warehouses at the sites that were targeted. Two weeks ago, an anti-aircraft missile fired from Syria set off rocket sirens in and near Umm al-Fahm in northern Israel, as Syrian state media reported an alleged Israeli airstrike near Damascus.

Kings of the East Join Forces. China’s Xi Jinping stresses cooperation with North Korea’s Kim under ‘new situation.’ The messages of support between the two countries also come a day after Xi offered his “support” for Russian President Vlad Putin as Russian forces bombarded Ukraine in a full-scale invasion.

Chinese Air Force Jets Invade Taiwan’s Air Space. Taiwan said on Thursday that at least nine Chinese Air Force jets violated the island’s air space.

Ezekiel 38-39’s Gog on the Move. Putin invades Ukraine and warns foreign powers of unprecedented ‘consequences’ if they interfere. Putin warned the international community of “consequences greater than any you have faced in history” over any attempted interference as he declared the start of an invasion into Ukraine.

VIDEO from Ukraine – Video of Large Explosions – People Flee for Their Lives.

Gas and oil prices in Europe skyrocketed after Russia attacked Ukraine early Thursday morning, Feb 24. Also, stock markets around the world tumbled amid rising concerns. Europe relies on Russia for nearly 40% of its natural gas and 25% of its oil.

Ukraine crisis: Communism victims organization calls Russia’s invasion ‘illegal’ and ‘a wake-up call.’ The Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation, dedicated to “commemorating the more than 100 million victims of communism around the world,” called Russia’s invasion of Ukraine “illegal” and “a wake-up to the West.” “The attack on Ukraine is a clear wake-up call to all those who have argued that America is not confronting dangerous great power competition with not only China but also Russia,” VOC continued. “Russia is destabilizing Europe, seeking to undercut US power and influence globally and to fragment our close alliances and partnerships. And Moscow is threatening implicitly and explicitly to use its massive nuclear arsenal against any who resist. These events will shape the international system and American foreign and security policy for years to come.”

World Leaders Respond to Russian Attack on Ukraine. Months of threats and fears appear to be culminating in the worst-case scenario for Ukrainians and likely countless others in Eastern Europe and perhaps beyond. Western nations have responded with a litany of severe sanctions. NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said, “NATO will do all it takes to protect and defend all Allies…. Peace in our continent has been shattered…. “We now have war in Europe, on a scale and of a type we thought belong to history.”

And Last But Certainly Not Least, By Any Means…

Russia takes issue with Israel’s sovereignty over Golan Heights and Jerusalem. “Russia doesn’t recognize Israel’s sovereignty over Golan Heights that are part of Syria,” Russian deputy ambassador says.

CONCLUDING SCRIPTURE

“And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh” (Luke 21:28).
