Hello John and Doves,Are we witnessing the build up of Gog's armies? Russian troops are in position on the Golan Heights - doing 'land and air surveillance'. For what? A possible swift move on Israel? Add this to Putin's recent speech - global war is coming.Russia has been growing closer and closer to Tehran - officially siding with Iran against Israel. Russia has been supplying Iran with new military equipment and there are leaks that Russia is considering supplying weapons to pro-Iran groups also.I remember in one of the Lebanese wars - that Russian plans/documents were found in Hezbollah tunnels in Lebanon. Russia was helping Hezbollah way back then.Russian Troops on the Golan:"Russian military reportedly taking up positions along Israel's northern border along the Syrian side of the Golan Heights.""Russia's military has deployed ground forces along the Israeli border, Syria has claimed, establishing a number of "observation points" opposite the Israeli frontier.""...the Russian army is expanding its presence in southwestern Syria, and Russian forces are establishing nine observation points on the Syrian side of the Golan Heights, adjacent to the Israeli border in the Quneitra area, and along the Jordanian frontier outside Daraa.""Deputy Commander of the Russian forces operating in Syria, General Alexander Rodionov, said in a press statement that the new deployment was part of the Russian army's existing mission in Syria." The purpose of the Russian deployment is to "carry out surveillance operations by air and land."The Syrians reported that Russia's presence "increases stability and security" and "helps residents return to their land lead their normal lives in their villages after being liberated from terrorism.""Even small increases in Russian support for Iran and its allies make Moscow a participant in events in the Middle East, at least in the eyes of the United States and Israel. Strong backing from the Kremlin for Tehran could be seen as a serious enough threat to prompt swift

and decisive action."Putin's Speech:The big take-aways from Putin's recent speech are 'the Ukraine war is going global and Russia has the right to strike with nuclear weapons". Russia launched its first intercontinental ballistic missile strike and now Kyiv is in a total blackout.With Putin's recent speech about 'global war' - taking the Ukraine War to the West -"The Russian president addressed the nation from the Kremlin on Thursday evening, warning that 'we consider ourselves entitled to use our weapons against the military facilities of those countries that allow weapons to be used against our facilities."He said they will warn civilians in advance of strikes - for humanitarian reasons.He also said they will launch their missiles "without fear of counter-measures from the enemy" because "as of today there is no means of counteracting such a weapon. These missiles attack targets at a speed of Mach 10, which is 2.5 - 3 kilometers (1.6 - 1.9 miles) per second. Modern air defense systems and US systems in Europe cannot intercept such missiles. It's impossible.""I emphasize once again: It is not Russia but the United States that has destroyed the system of international security and is pushing the entire world towards a global conflict by continuing to fight and cling on to its hegemony. We have always preferred to, and now are ready to resolve all disputed questions with peaceful means. But we are also ready for any scenario. If anyone doubts that, they are wrong. There will always be a response."Russian troops have been on the Golan for some time - this increase in 'observation' posts is worrisome - are they there to scope out the IDF positions/movements/responses? Is this how Gog and Magog are able to get to the mountains of Israel?Maybe the U.S. will be 'neutralized' somehow first...then the move on Israel will happen.Things are happening quickly.Pray for the peace of Jerusalem~Maranatha~Chance
