| NATO F-16V "VIPERS" |
8 February 2022: In the clickable image above are a flight of armed F-16V Viper strike aircraft from Poland (two in foreground) and Belgium (two in background) showing the NATO flag along the eastern frontier with Russia and Belarus. The Viper is the most advanced fourth-generation variant of the venerable F-16 Fighting Falcon. Its upgrades make it fully interoperable with fifth-generation fighters like the F-35 Lightning II and F-22 Raptor.
The F-16 Viper is a virtual sniper in the sky; it is operational with the air forces of NATO countries Poland, Belgium, The Netherlands, Denmark, Norway, Greece and Slovakia. Other NATO countries are upgrading their F-16A/B/C/D variants to the Viper configuration. Also noteworthy, Taiwan (the Republic of China Air Force) has purchased 66 new production Vipers as well as upgrades its F-16A/B variants for a total of 206 Vipers. Also, India will fly this aircraft as the F-21.
The point of this is to illustrate that NATO forces are far more lethal than media have made note of late. Russian senior officers, especially former KGB, are aware of this and have openly cautioned Putin of the risks of provoking combat with NATO. In fact they have called on Putin to resign, accusing him of warmongering with NATO. Moreover, all sides understand that a deadly game of brinkmanship is in progress, both internationally and within the opposing alliances themselves, and that any miscalculation would prove disastrous for all.

| MiG-31K with KH-47 Hypersonic Missile |
Yesterday as US paratroopers were arriving in Poland, Russia was deploying tactical nuclear weaponry to Chkalovsk Air Base in Kaliningrad in the form of a MiG-31K Foxhound carrying a KH-47 hypersonic nuclear missile under its fuselage. The KH-47 has been noted to carry a 500kT nuclear warhead, has a range of 1,240 miles and which it delivers to its target at a speed of over 7,600mph. London could be nuked in approximately 10 minutes from Kaliningrad's air space. Still, the opposing forces have not yet locked horns in the same manner as Ukrainian forces and Russian forces are engaged in the Donbas of eastern Ukraine where from 100 to 1,000 violations occur on a daily basis.
What Eschatology Today is alert for now is the point where Divine hooks to turn the eastern Union State's (Magog Confederation) gathered forces around towards Israel due south (Ezekiel 38/39). That will most likely occur after the dust settles from a brief and quite violent war in the Levant from which Israel, though injured, emerges victorious (Isaiah 17, Psalm 83).
Considering this crisis is occurring during a complete lack of leadership in the NATO alliance is no accident. It is this soft, often nonexistent leadership, ably exemplified by French President Macron's reprising the role of Neville Chamberlain prior to WWII, that will soon morph into 10 nations holding each other up when the leadership vacuum is suddenly filled by an eleventh man, the little horn from Daniel's prophecy. The Antichrist.
Here is where we reprise, in proper sequence, "The Past As Prologue" with three key Eschatology Today posts from the very beginning of this blog. From 2009, The Origin of The Antichrist. From 2016, The Past As Prologue. And from 2018, Global SITREP B9-18: The Kings. One thing has always been in the forefront of this blog, and that is the guiding hand of the Lord from His prophetic perspective through the lens of inerrant Scripture and the ability to highlight real-wor;d events before they happen, sometime by hours and other times by days, week and even months. Here again with the SITREP we lean forward again by looking as the past. There is nothing new under the sun.
Marana'tha!
As always, and despite the prophetic focus on wars and the rumors thereof, we pray for peace and for the blessed hope of the Harpazo.
ReplyDeleteNot even 24 hours from departing the Russian capital a most salient fact was loosed from the Kremlin: while Emmanuel Macron is the President of France, he IS NOT the leader of the EU or of NATO and anything he proposed on their behalf was null and void.
ReplyDeleteBut Macron is during the first semester of this year president of the Council of the European Union. He wants to use this period to reform the EU and to establish a European Army.
DeleteIncorrect. Charles Michel has been the president of the council since 2019 and will likely have a second term until December 2024.
DeleteBeyond this, the fact of the matter is The presidency of the council of Europe is not held by an individual; the presidency is a limited position held by a national government for 6 months. France's Jan-Jun 2022 term in the presidency will be replaced by the Czech Republic for the 6-month term of July-December 2022.
DeleteHopefully, it is now clear that there is a big difference between the the Council of Europe and the Council of the European Union. Some conspiracy websites, whose postings will never appear on this blog, have surface skimmed this subject and because of it have completely boggled and confused the facts at hand.
DeleteLTG. Eric Kurilla, the incoming Commander of CENTCOM told the US Senate Armed Services Committee today that a Russian invasion of Ukraine would create broad instability in the Middle East, including Syria.
ReplyDeleteLTG Kurilla also doubled down on Iran being the major threat to America, Israel and our many allies in the Central Command AOR.
This news came about an hour too late to be included in this SITREP, but reinforces the prophetic points made once again.
BREAKING NEWS!!! Red Alerts across a broad swath of central Israel from Wadi Ara to Shomron, Menashe regional council. More info to follow as it is released.
ReplyDeleteWithin minutes of the red alerts in Israel the Syrian air defense network went active against "hostile targets."
DeleteIsrael has preemptively struck targets near Damascus, Syria. Syrian air defense missiles are responsible for the red alerts in the Menashe region of Israel.
DeleteIn a second strike early this morning the IAF obliterated the radars and missile batteries which had targeted the IAF in the first strike. Syrian operators of the SAM systems were killed in the strike.
DeleteBelarus, the minor partner in the Union State, is deploying a few hundred of its troops to Syria in support of Russian troops.
ReplyDeleteA 6-ship Russian amphibious task force began its transit from the Mediterranean Sea into the Black Sea today and will conclude tomorrow. The ships are transporting an armored brigade.
ReplyDeleteThe Syria strike was a familiar target for the IAF. Long-time readers of this blog will recall that Qudsayya, located on the Damascus-Beirut highway, is home to a military depot used to transfer mobile, Russian-made SAM systems like the SA-8 Gecko to Hezbollah.
ReplyDeleteConsistent with Israel's 16-year old policy on the clandestine transfer of "game changing" military weaponry from Syria to Hezbollah since 2006, none of these mobile SAM systems and other military vehicles have ever made it across the nearby Lebanese border. This is a fact that the Russian ambassador to Syria omitted in his caustic and utterly ridiculous commentary this morning.
I just watched a video of Putin telling Western media that if Ukraine is pulled into NATO then Europeans would not be able to blink before they were nuked. Another confirmation of what is stated above regarding MiG-31K Foxhounds and their KH-47 hypersonic payloads.
ReplyDeleteIf this is true then Isael better get a move on real soon.
ReplyDeletehttps://www.timesofisrael.com/iran-unveils-new-missile-said-to-put-israel-us-regional-bases-within-range/
Typical hand-wringing from secular Israeli media.
DeleteThe truth is found in Jeremiah 49:35.
Tomorrow, 10FEB22, we'll commence a 10-day countdown to see if the Union State significantly de-escalates along Ukraine's borders by 20FEB22.
ReplyDeleteThere are but two (2) NATO allies actively defending so-called "European Democratice Sovereignty". Those allies are: #1 (by a vast margin) The United States of America, and #2 The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Period.
ReplyDeleteThe EU Army is a myth; a total fiction. A pipe dream concocted by the likes of globalist Emmanuel Macron, et al.
The Washingtom Examiner put to print yesterday what this blog has been saying for years about the balance of military power now and during the post-Harpazo 70th Week of years.
Where Are The French and German Air Forces?
Next, we look at an alternative view of how the 10 Toes (Horns) might actually become manifest with the framework of NATO in the very near future.
So, WHAT IF the NATO alliance were to be reorganized in the near future in such a way that the current 30 member states became 10 regional groups of 2, 3 or 4 nations, with one nation of each group (a horn or a toe per prophecy in Daniel and Revelation) chosen to lead that group collectively?
DeleteThere would then be ten horns within the NATO alliance of 30 current members.
Just an alternative idea I've considered in light of things such as the international G-10 or G-7 groups of nations. This could possibly be an outcome of the current crisis in Europe.
Why are the Biden Administration and the IC he leads so absolutely convinced that Putin has ordered an invasion of Ukraine, to effect a pro-Union State regime change in Kyiv at the earliest by Tuesday, 15 February, 2022 or Sunday, 20 February 2022 at the latest?
ReplyDeleteIs it because they're eavesdropping on all manner of encrypted Union State military communications for the ongoing global war fighting exercise and interpreting that commo as being real-world operational orders?
It sure does look like it.
Nevermind that Putin publicly acknowledged this past week the military superiority of NATO's conventional forces versus those of the Union State.
Nevermind that unlike Russia's experience in WWII of having an abundance of strategic depth with it vast eastern territories, in the present age of conventional and nuclear global strike capability strategic depth no longer exists for any nation on earth. Putin acknowledged this too in his post-Macron address to western media.
So what is it; why push all of Putin's hot buttons and risk a massive war, potentially nuclear, over Ukraine?
And what are the Globalist's overarching objectives with Ukraine, and why now?! What is worth such brinksmanship on both sides? Why do the leaders of each side sit across the wide table and lie to each other?
It's Biblical.
Why now. That could be said about a lot of things these days. Again, it's biblical.
ReplyDeleteWag the Dog for sure...Look there, not here.
ReplyDeleteAs all these pieces fall into God's prophetic place, and the nations plot in vain ultimately to rid God from this earth, they are fulfilling God's Word and for now we can pray as the Aposltes in acts...
ReplyDelete"And now, Lord, behold their threatenings: and grant unto thy servants, that with all boldness they may speak thy word,
By stretching forth thine hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done by the name of thy holy child Jesus."
Marana'tha!
Amen Jmoll!
DeleteI was just informed Biden told Putin today that if he invaded Ukraine there would be an American military response, perhaps by bombing of Russian troops concentrations.
Biden said Ukraine is an American ally.
Putin unfazed.
So now the US has increased from DEFCON 5 to DEFCON 4.
"Is it because they're eavesdropping on all manner of encrypted Union State military communications for the ongoing global war fighting exercise and interpreting that commo as being real-world operational orders?"
ReplyDeleteThis has now been confirmed to be a cold, hard fact.
The Mirror (UK) defense editor published this today:
Delete"Russian commanders were on Sunday moving up large numbers of attack helicopters, assault troops, tanks and artillery to the frontline.
American intelligence agencies now believe Russian President Vladimir Putin may give the attack order earlier than Wednesday as previously thought.
American CIA and NSA spymasters have harassed the Kremlin with leaks about Russia’s war plans-making it clear they are intercepting military orders."
A 152mm artillery shell exploded in occupied Donetsk today in a probable Russian false flag operation.
ReplyDeleteThe OSCE Observers say there was no Ukraine Army artillery firing today, confirming Ukrainian Joint Forces denial of any firing.
According to Bahraini media: Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, UAE and Kuwait have instructed their citizens to leave Ukraine immediately; Russian invasion imminent.
ReplyDeleteAnyone not seeing the obvious presence of Sheba, Dedan, Tarshish and its young lions?
Sean, are we about to see the evil thought of Gog come to flourishing and head south - Eziekiel 38. This is amazing to watch this in our face. Praise God!!!
ReplyDeleteSaved,
DeleteYes, due to the lateness in the current dispensation, I do believe we have rolled up on the time of fulfillment for Ezekiel 38/39. I also view Ezekiel 39:29 as indicative of the the nearness of the Harpazo. Perhaps today!
I also think this nascent reality is taking, has taken or will yet take many folks by total surprise due to their non-biblical worldview, or non-literal biblical interpretation, or even the totally erroneous preterist worldview.
I'm also not at all distracted by events in eastern Europe, with continued due emphasis on the dominoes represented by Jeremiah 49, Isaiah 17 and the full Psalm 83 scenario (Isaiah 11 & Ezekiel 28:24-26).
Praise God indeed!!
Amazing Grace we have, AMEN
DeleteThis Russian force upon Ukraine seems to be a Russian collusion as occurred with Trump in the near past. It worked then and possibly now. The world is asleep.
DeleteTo put it bluntly, a Union State invasion of Ukraine will create a crisis for all of Europe unlike anything before. Millions of refugees are expected to flee to the West, and those who remain will tie down the Russian military in a very bloody insurgency. At some point during this Divine hooks will be employed by the LORD God for the purposes Ezekiel has long made obvious.
ReplyDeleteNora,
ReplyDeleteI had your comment approved for posting, but somehow it disappeared into the ether.
Anyway, do not believe a word Biden says, and do not believe a word coming from MSM about what he says. It's all rubbish designed to distract from a (his) failed presidency. The DEFCON change is a ruse.
No problem and thank you for the explanation and clarification regarding the ukrainan situation! I agree, MSM doesn't give a clear picture and sadly neither many of the Christian news channels I check on youtube at times. I noticed it that in many cases they also go into sensationalism, blowing things out of proportion, so places where the sources and information are correctly vetted are really needed!
DeleteSensationalism brings page views which means $$.
DeleteAs stated here from the onset, this crisis is an extremely difficult one to correctly assess, and I'm doing my level best to provide that.
Thanks Sean for your care for us. Love in Christ. Andy
ReplyDeleteI also highly suspect the globalist cabal wants to get their hands/control over Russia’s vast natural resources like they do on ours.
ReplyDeleteI also highly suspect the globalist cabal wants to get their hands/control over Russia’s vast natural resources like they do on ours.
ReplyDeleteYup, the entire planet in fact.
ReplyDeleteYet, look how so many people rebel in all of the countries where they currently control Executive power.
Are Aussies, Canadians, Americans, Britons, French, Italians, Greeks and others rebelling against the draconian mandates of said Executive's in favor of Liberty and Freedom?
Obviously so.
These civil disturbances in the West speak to something rather drastic having to alter and end the revolt against the current order in the West.
At least that's how I assess the current situation.
Would anyone find disagreement with identifying the Western alliance today as fulfilling the description found in Daniel 2 regarding feet and toes being like iron and clay; that is being partly strong and partly brittle?
ReplyDeleteIn the view of Eschatology Today the Daniel 2 description is now an established reality, a no-brainer fact that should be obvious to all students of Bible prophecy.
The Western fickleness certainly accounts for the instability of the miry clay of delusion/confusion mixed with the iron of their military might.
ReplyDeleteKyiv is 7 hours ahead of EST.
ReplyDeleteIf the USIC under Biden is to be believed, then Ukraine is about 36 hours from a Russian assault.
A few of you are listening/watching secular media and reporting to me the news that the EastMed Pipeline has been killed by the Biden Administration.
ReplyDeleteGatestone: Israel-Europe Pipeline Dead
This actually some pretty old news, and I suppose now is as good a time as any to distract from Russia, Russia, Russia.
It pre-dates the SITREP which covered the EastMed Pipeline. That SITREP stands as posted, no change in views.
God is in control. NOT Biden, NOT Obama, NOT the WEF, or Schwab and any of the global elites.
I saw it for what it was almost right away...a distraction. How can any thinking person believe the mainstream news (which includes fox News)?
DeleteJon,
DeleteAgreed!
The EastMed SITREP was posted recently and its message appears to have been forgotten or ignored just as recently.
So, from this point forward Eschatology Today will ignore comments containing all MSM reports unless they specifically cite the Bible as at least one of the sources of information.
Good policy. However, do you consider Newsmax a O.A.N. MSM? O.A.N. seems ok but I have concerns about Newsmax?
DeleteAlso, do you have on file an (accurate) ancient map of nations back in Ezekiels day? I'd sure like to look at one
Any news organization which editorially adopts the narrative put forward by the "Deep State" is IMHO enemy media, a/k/a MSM.
DeleteNewsmax has done exactly this with respect to the 3 November 2020 Presidential Election, President Trump, and his defenders such as Stephen K. Bannon and MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell as well as Newsmax' own DC Correspondent Emerald Robinson who they summarily fired. These three are all believing Christian's; they speak the truth.
OAN is a good news organization IMHO.
Eschatology Today has cited Ezekiel's source the Genesis 10 "Table of Nations." That is a source which is 100% reliable to this day. Also, in the past 2,500 years some of those nations/peoples were displaced due to mass migrations into West Asia from Central Asia. Turkey is a prime example; having long been a Greek (sons of Javan) habitation until circa 1100 AD when Seljuk Turks arrived. I have found (data mined) maps online to reflect this information; posted it years ago on this blog.
I think it would be a good review to have those maps posted on the sidebar for review. They'd make great study tools for people who visit this blog IMHO
DeleteGood idea. I'll run with it.
DeleteIf one desires to know what Russia is going to do in Ukraine and in Georgia, all you need do is look at the timeline of the Russia-Georgia conflict from April to August 2008. It's black and white, in our faces and involves a Russian invasion well-planned in advance.
ReplyDeleteJust substitute Donetsk and Luhansk with Abkhazia and South Ossetia.
The bottom line is Putin had decided on invasion in April 2008; issued orders to Russia's combatant commanders, and then had the orders executed via Medvedev in August 2008. Military exercises had Russian troops in place and ready to go.
DeleteThose who fail to learn from (recent) history are doomed to rinse and repeat it.
ReplyDeleteThe Past is Prologue - Again.
As expected... it may be that the false flag operation intended to trigger the further Russian invasion of Ukraine began in the past few hours.
ReplyDeleteUkrainian Joint Forces HQ reports Russian proxy forces are firing banned weapons across a broad expanse of the front lines in Luhansk and Donetsk oblasts.
Russia claims the firing is from Ukrainian forces in Luhansk and Donetsk.
"As expected" is a reference to an assessment I made yesterday afternoon that was based upon a private analysis of the timeline (historical facts) of Putin's planned war of aggression against the Republic of Georgia in the period of April thru August 2008.
DeleteMy private assessment was that the Russian "invasion" would be tied to false flag ops in Luhansk and Donetsk to commence on 17 or 18 FEB 2022.
That assessment appears to be happening in the real world today according to the Ukrainian Joint Forces HQ announcements, and confirmed by OSCE observers.
Moving on to SITREP A7-22 now.
