Global SITREP B21-14: Global Military Tensions Are Rapidly Becoming Palpable

5 April 2014: Is it a coincidence that a sequence of signs of blood red moons is about to occur over the next year as military tensions between the world's preeminent military powers are rapidly becoming palpable? I don't think there's anything coincidental about this; we're living in the so-called 'last days' when the primary signs that Jesus gave us of "wars and rumors of wars" are supposed to take place.

It's like something mechanical that's too tightly wound up and stresses throughout the mechanism are at the point of simultaneous catastrophic failure, and the internal parts of the device go flying uncontrollably in every direction imaginable. This is the world as I see it today. It's like Humpty Dumpty is in mid-flight in his fall off the wall, and all of the kings horses and all of their man have no prayer of putting that Humpty Dumpty of so-called world peace together again. Truth be told, during this present age, world peace is literally the absence of world war. No wonder the Bible prophecies that men will literally collapse of heart attacks when they see these things coming upon the world.

War and the threat and rumors of an even of a greater war in the heart of Europe have gripped dozens of world capitals and the attention of as many general staffs in NATO on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean in North America and Europe. Emergency meetings, planning sessions and operational orders are being issued with a frequency that would make any fast food retail outlet green with envy.  

In the Middle East there are extraordinary pressures for military action, both outright and preemptive; the so-called 'peace process' between Israel and the Arabs is but a smoldering hulk in a sea of smoldering hulks. There's a lot of smart, articulate diplomatically astute men in the United States. So the US government sends the pompous, condescending but totally inept and even more unqualified John Kerry on this absolutely critical mission in shark infested waters? Seriously? Why not VP Joe Biden then? An informative related report can be found HERE. As a direct result of John Kerry's efforts the Arabs, in the form of he Arab League, have just officially refused to recognize the cold, hard fact of reality that Israel is Jewish state. As we all know, this merely proves what we've known for decades; there will be no lasting peace in the Middle East until the Lord Jesus Christ comes to establish His kingdom, Until then keep your head down, ammo dry, locked and loaded, and your gas mask at the ready on your hip at all times.

In northeastern Asia the offensive military belligerence and war-like rhetoric of North Korea has both South Korea and Japan experiencing a 'straw that broke the camel's back' situation. South Korea is now directly responding to almost daily North Korean military provocations, and the Japanese government has ordered its military to respond by shooting down any further North Korean missiles launched over the Sea of Japan. Aye-aye was the response from the Japanese Navy and its Aegis cruisers in that area.

In southeastern Asia the rapid Russian conquest of Crimea from its former ally Ukraine has Chinese Taiwan on pins and needles over the prospect of mainland Chinese aggression against them; the Japanese and Chinese tensions over the Senkaku Islands between Japan, Taiwan and mainland China could forge a military alliance between Japan and Taiwan against China. make no mistake, these are all Top 10 global military powers who are on the periphery and are allies of the Top 3 military powers on the late-great planet Earth.

And its not everyday that a senior CIA officer commits suicide by jumping off the roof of a 5-story building. Stresses abound in the nations capital and they're only increasing across the board because American leadership is all but nonexistent in the current Obama Administration and the current Congress is not much help either. Folks in the Pentagon appear to be divided over a military duty to salute the CInC and say "yessir" and their oath to defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign or domestic. They did not take kindly at all to the recent treasonous revelation that the Obama Administration was planning to give the Russians highly classified US missile defense secrets. That's right, the Obama Administration was about to give the Russians precision data on the performance of our anti-missile defenses. Imagine that, a Trojan Horse in Washington, D.C. and it looks just like our 220-year old White House at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Anyone hear the word "impeachment" from any Congressmen as a result of this revelation? I'm not holding my breath either.

The tension is absolutely palpable. Common sense says something has got to give. But there's no fear, these things must take place to prepare the way for His kingdom.

Marana'tha Lord Jesus!

Global SITREP A1-13

19 March 2013 (Updated 21 March): It seems like yesterday. Anniversaries can do that to you. Ten years ago today after all the preparations were long since completed we were ready to go over the berm from Kuwait into Iraq. Within 48 hours after starting the movement northward 3rd ID would be almost 100 miles deep into Iraq. My thoughts were drawn into consideration of the four angels bound at the Euphrates River awaiting their release. With Saddam's threats of WMD warfare and all of us in full MOPP IV gear I had to wonder if this was the war that would release those four angels upon the world. And here I was smack dab in the middle of it with thousands of other guys dressed in DCUs on a mission to liberate Iraq. Nebuchadnezzar's, Cyrus' and Alexander's ancient stompin' grounds, this was going to be no fun at all I thought. Saddam's Scuds, Al-Samouds, Silkworms and U.S. Patriots and hundreds of coalition aircraft were launched, danced in the air and some occasionally landed explosively nearby. Seems like yesterday, but a decade later and far more learned about the correct exegesis of Bible prophecy than I was at that time, the effect that decade of spent time now has me wondering if its not four angels that are about to be released, but rather how much time Damascus has left to be a habitable city. You live, you learn.

So, it seems fitting at this point to begin doing an occasional global sitrep (situation report) on this blog because, who knows, Damascus could get ruined overnight one of these days, so why not keep track of events a little more closely leading up to that paradigm changing event. Thirteen years earlier, just after Operation Desert Storm and when Iraqi Scuds were pelting Israel little did anyone know that that war would come and go and just make an even bigger and more important war occur in the future. Hindsight is 20/20, so a little journal seems a good idea at this point. Now I do not think at this point it will be another decade because there's just too much going on in the Middle East right now for me to accept there that much time to expend yet again. Could be, but one cannot be dogmatic about these things.

At present we have North Korea threatening to nuke the US at a time when they have completed a couple of actual nuclear tests and long range missile launches. We have the US responding to this by flying B-52 missions from Guam to South Korea and the Pentagon essentially telling dear leader Kim Jong-Un that while he's feeling all kinds of froggy these days he had better think twice and not jump.  In the same time frame we have Russia flying nuclear-armed Bear-H bombers from distant bases in Kamchatka making simulated nuclear strikes against US and allied bases in South Korea, Japan (Okinawa) and Guam, and Communist Chinese gunboat diplomacy kicking things up a notch or two from Vietnam and the Philippines to Japan. East Asia is looking as warlike as the Middle East is. Rumors of wars.

In the Middle East, the ever present basket-case, we have Syrian Alawite jets bombing Sunni columns in Lebanon while the Al-Assad government and Sunni rebel forces trade accusations of chemical warfare attacks. I now am holding the assessment that two chemical agents were used Phosphorus Trichloride (PCl3) which is under controlled production by Schedule 3 of the Chemical Weapons Convention, and BZ which is a deliriant incapacitating agent. Which side executed this chemical attack remains undetermined; it could have been Al-Assad's forces or it could have been the FSA rebel forces. If our "red lines" have any meaning then Western military intervention will have to be forthcoming, with the possibility of  special forces seizing Syrian and/or FSA rebel chemical stocks or destroying them in place by surgical strikes. Syria does have a serious missile-borne WMD capability and Israel must look like a convenient game-changer to Al-Assad and his apocalypse-minded pals in Tehran given their poor battlefield prospects in Syria. No rumors here, real war is ongoing from the Turkish border to the Lebanese border to the Israeli and Jordanian borders. All the places mentioned in Bible prophecy that I am concerned about and always watching closely.

In Europe a financial crisis is threatening to come unraveled from one part of the former Roman Empire to another. The once mighty Euro currency is now worth about seventy-five cents American, and American currency is being printed as if were playing an artificially extended game of Monopoly. The Obama Sequester is about to chew up our armed forces at a time when really big shooting wars could erupt in any or all of the places I just mentioned. Oh, and we're still at war in Afghanistan. This is wars and rumors of wars.

Sorry for all of the seemingly bad news in this first installment, but at least we know that the new Pope isn't Petrus Romanus and we can giggle a little bit at those who gave that nonsense serious consideration. See you at the next edition of Global SITREP... if we aren't called home first.
