Global SITREP B9-22: Disruptions and Restraint Prior to Revelation 6

25 April 2022: The topic has been in the news lately and if one is not aware then just say, "noting to see here," and just move along. If only it were so, but it's not because there is something to see here and none of it is just coincidence. Food processing plants, distribution and logistics centers and sustainment warehouses from sea to shining sea have spontaneously combusted to place further strains on an already stressed national supply chain. If these were just one or two incidents in suburban America separated by many miles of interstate highway, that would be one thing. But when dozens of such incidents occur in a short span of time its something else again.

And its more than just a trend of mishaps. It appears to be orchestrated arson on a national scale. And yet it's more than that still, it's occurring globally. A short list (no time in my day to compile a truly thorough listing) to include the global occurrences would exceed 50 in the past month or so, from Canada, through one-half of the lower 48, to Mexico, to the EU, the Middle East to Central Asia and then to Down Under. And you know what, none of this has come about as a result of a third or fourth world war. And no, this has nothing to do with Russia's insane invasion of Ukraine. This is a barely glimpse into the future of the end of the world at war that John the Revelator was told to record as the Lamb of God opened the seals of the scroll in The Revelation of Jesus Christ, chapter 6. Thankfully and by way of our blessed hope of the Harpazo, none of us will be here to endure it.

This brings us to the cadre of evil doers that Ray DiLorenzo wrote about yesterday in the cover story at truth-telling Canada Free Press, "Under Attack By Spectre--This Is No Drill."

"Anyone who is familiar with the James Bond franchise knows that Spectre is an international crime organization.  Like Spectre, the World Economic Forum (WEF) operates in the shadows, but working under the pretense that they are an organization devoted to preserving peace and saving the planet.  They are, in reality, a criminal cartel whose only interest is world conquest by enslavement and mass murder."

The cover story is worth he ten minutes of your time to read, and in so doing you'll be as up to speed on the current state of affairs of the murderous globalist cabal we've discussed here as the global oligarchy, the WEF, the Great Reset, and so on. DiLorenzo's giving them the Spectre moniker from the James Bond film series is also very apropos. Yet, the Restrainer is restraining their successes and limiting their advances until the Only God Knows appointed time... which we who watch know is very, very near indeed.

Coming to Home...

Russia's invasion of Ukraine has profound implications, soon to be manifest, in the Middle East, in Syria especially, and in Iranian Twelver designs there directed at Israel, in the same vein as the IRGC has successfully down with Hezbollah in Lebanon. This situation will also prove o be very problematic for Russia (Ezekiel 38/39 is a great, big hint!). Iran's use of Syria as a vassal platform from which to strike at Israel is wholly risking every one of the billions of rubles Russia has invested in Syria, its warm water port at Tartus and sprawling air base at Hmeimim. Also, Russia's ever mounting problems in Ukraine (recalling that God is in complete control) has resulted in thousands of combat hardened Syrian soldiers being airlifted to support Russian combat operations in the Donbas, has left the regime of Bashar al-Assad in Syria very exposed and left Iran's IRGC and Shi'a proxy militias from Iraq, Afghanistan and even Pakistan in a dominant military position. This has created great instability and will surely result in the Syrian catastrophe prophecies by Jeremiah 49:23-27 and Isaiah 17. Damascus will be reduced to a heap of rubble and Syria itself will cease to be a nation in the near future.

There is also the view, based upon a slowly reviving national memory, in Israel of what the Arab Muslims did in Israel between 1948 and the Six Day war in 1967. An article posted yesterday at the Israpundit website does a very good job of presenting this view. Worth your time to read, which is why the embedded link has been included as part of this SITREP.  An excerpt from the sixdaywar dot org website sums up the Israeli memory of those days, and may be a hint as to why the Jordanian monarchy and leadership will be pursued by the IDF in the near future as were Midian, Sisera, Jabin, Oreb, Zeeb, Zebab and Zalmunna were pursued in ancient times by Israel's soldiers per Asaph in Psalm 83. 

In this conclusion we have Eschatology Today's continuing narrative of why Russia's invasion of Ukraine has profound prophetic implications and serves as a catalyst for the fulfillment of numerous prophetic dominoes soon the fall in sequence, like a flood.

Marana'tha!

Global SITREP B8-22: NATO Pushes East, Russia Pushes West, Arabs Push Israel, and Taiwan Braces: A Perfect Storm Brewing

(UPDATE BELOW) 12 April 2022: SITREP B8-22 will begin with data points that will flesh out with time. 

As a direct result of Russia's continuing barbaric aggression against Ukraine, its western neighbors, and particularly the recent bellicose verbal tirades against the United States in particular as leader of the North Atlantic cum Global Alliance, NATO is leaning significant numbers of its military forces forward all along the entirety of Russia's western flank. Image above.

In the north these forces are directly abutting the Union State's borders. In the center just west of Ukraine, the object of Russia's current war of aggression, and in the south against the Black Sea region, adjacent to Moldova, Transnistria and occupied southern Ukraine. In the heart of NATO-Europe are hundreds of thousands of the alliance's combat troops, backed by strategic, nuclear-armed aviation and naval forces. 

In the past 36 hours NATO's intelligence arm (i.e. the intelligence apparatuses of all alliance partners) alerted Russia's possible use of an as yet undetermined type of chemical weapon in the siege of Mariupol, Ukraine. Mariupol, to be clear, is the scene of wanton genocide that makes the genocide that occurred in Bucha and other northern Ukraine towns pale by comparison. As many as 20,000 corpses reportedly litter the streets, are under rubble and in bombed out buildings of the once beautiful and vibrant city. The US and UK are leading the investigation. 

Ukrainian reports say the Russians employed drones on Monday that dropped ordnance filled with a chemical substance that is not unlike those used in the war in Syria in recent years. Ukrainian forces report civilians and a few of their troops in the city are exhibiting signs of chemical poisoning and respiratory issues. According to the UK MoD, "all options are on the table" if the use of chemical weapons is verified, with sending NATO troops into combat being one of the options.

West to East Prevailing Winds Ukraine-Russia

Update 18 April 2022: There has been consistent talk, primarily from Western Globalists and their MSM warning about the potential for Russian use of nuclear weapons against Ukrainian forces who are largely in positions in the east against invading Russian forces moving westwards. 

Cutting through all of the propagandistic rubbish, this is Western Globalist nonsense. The reason why is that Vladimir Putin and his military are not idiots. Any use of nuclear weaponry against Ukraine would result in nuclear fallout blowing right back into the Russian military forces building-up in the east as well as into the Russian heartland as the above blow-up of a prevailing winds map clearly indicates. 

Global SITREP B7-22: Russia's War in Ukraine - Phase III ("I Will Turn Thee Back...")

Russia's Military Defeat in Northern Ukraine

UPDATE 07 April 2022: Two days ago in the comments of this SITREP it was noted how Eschatology Today has viewed this war from the get-go based upon Ezekiel 38:4 and the importance of the Hebrew word shoob within that verse. There is a small gap of time between the first part and second part of that verse. The gap lies between "I will turn you around," and "Put hooks into your jaws and lead you out..." The turning around is now well underway and what remains unknown is the precise gap of time until the Lord inserts those prophetic hooks in the jaws. In that the overall prophetic narrative is moving along at what appears to be warp speed these days, well, it may not be a case of the Lord tarrying very much. "These things must take place" and that requires the passage of some minute passage of time as we understand the ticking of the clock.

The map image above, is the situation on the ground in Ukraine as of this morning, 07 April 2022. The map image below is from just over three days ago. What this new image and what all senior military leaders (both US and NATO commanders) are saying is that the mighty Russian military (army, navy, air force and rocket forces) have been thoroughly defeated in northern Ukraine. This is a stunning reversal. The hand of God as the One responsible for the turning around is evident, perhaps not to all of you, but definitely to yours truly. 

Even Russian soldiers making unsecure phone calls to mothers, family members and girl friends back in Russia are admitting that they are being "whipped" by Ukrainian forces. In fact, in their hasty, no-time-to-waste, head-long flight out of the country, elite Russian units have abandoned their most devastating weaponry. These the Ukrainians promptly captured, made speedy repairs to in some cases, and then turned them upon their former owners. This weaponry notably includes the TOR-1A Buratino (featured early on in this SITREP series) thermobaric "vacuum" artillery system. Russian units were then given no rest and were further annihilated in full retreat. It's that ancient Hebrew "shoob" word that Ezekiel was inspired to use and its literal meaning in full display, at least for those like me who take the Lord's prophetic word literally. 

And to think, this is just the beginning of woes to befall Russia's and her allies military forces as we approach the 70th Week of Years.

04 April 2022: The above graphic encapsulates the known and estimated combat losses suffered by the armed forces of the Russian Federation in the forty days of its invasion of Ukraine (24 FEB - o4 APR 2022). This is where Eschatology Today's SITREP coverage begins the clearly evident third phase of this war, which begins not only with this accounting, but also with the overwhelming and mounting evidence of war crimes and crimes against humanity in just two of the dozens of Ukrainian suburbs and villages surrounding the capital Kyiv. 

In the settlements Bucha and Irpin in Kyiv Oblast, which are nearly twin cities separated only by the Bucha River, the mass graves and many human corpses littering the streets are visible in satellite reconnaissance imagery. Bucha/Irpin are separated from Kyiv City boundary only by about one-thousand feet of the Irpin River basin. This is how close Russian armor came to entering the capital. Now the Ukrainian counter-attack has driven Russian forces back to the Belarus border along the entire axis of the west banks Dnieper River. Forced Russian retreat is also occurring along the east bank in the direction of Chernihiv, and east of Kyiv to a point well over 60 miles in the direction of Nizhyn. Map below.

It is in this third phase of the war that Russian forces are regrouping and being re-deployed south in an attempt to secure Luhansk, Donetsk and a land corridor along Ukraine's Azov Sea coastline to connect with Crimea. There's no way to determine the duration of this third phase, or its outcome, but the Lord's hooks will drag these armies to their destruction in Israel in days to come.

 

Global SITREP B6-22: Israel At War

 

Urban Warfare in Israel

31 March 2022: The indications and warnings about a coming war within Israel are everywhere. We've been expecting this on Eschatology Today, yet the amount of data that has flowed in in the past two days cannot be embargoed any longer, quite simply because the war has already begun. And it's no coincidence that this expected war will occur concurrently with Russia's war in Ukraine.

Once again, despite the existing ban on YouTube, I must post an embedded link to an Amir Tsarfati video that was streamed live from London, UK yesterday. Watch the 6 minute 36 second video and the SITREP will continue below.

One day prior to the above video (29 March) this linked article appeared on the Israel National News website: "Israel is Facing an Armed Revolt from the Arab Sector." 

The article cites IDF BG (Res.) Effi Eitam who spoke to Galei Tzahal that morning. The interview included this quote from BG Eitan: "We need to tell ourselves the truth: we are in the midst of an Arab revolt, an Islamic-nationalist revolt against the idea of Israel as the state of the Jewish people. They [Israeli-Arabs] hold [Israeli] citizenship and have equal rights in everything, but they are separatists.

This is like a page right out of Vladimir Putin's playbook regarding the separatists of Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts in Ukraine. In such a war the damage done in Israel will be massive, not just by 200,000 armed Arabs, but by the others who will join in, such a Iran, Islamic State, HAMAS, Syria, Iraqi Shi'a militias in Syria and Hezbollah in Lebanon. And let us not forget the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan who will not be loathe to join in.

We're talking about a war Israel has not had to fight ever before in their 74-year long history, a war that will be like 1948, 1967, 1973 and 2006 plus all of the battles with Gaza rolled up into one massive war. Psalm 83, Isaiah 11, Isaiah 17 and Jeremiah 49 all at the same time or in very rapid succession. 

No doubt this will be continued... 

Global SITREP B5-22: Russia's War in Ukraine - Phase II

Russia Targets Civilians and Civil Infrastructure

UPDATE 25 March 2022: Ukrainian forces continue their offensive and advance against Russian forces in several areas on both the east and west banks of the Dnieper River in the Kyiv Oblast. Strong points of massed Russian armor, tanks and infantry fighting vehicles have been over run in the past 24 hours. Mopping up, security and the hunt for fleeing Russian troops is ongoing today. 

At daybreak yesterday, in the port of Berdyansk, a large Russian LST ship (the Alligator-class Saratov) was attacked and sunk by Ukrainian forces with an OTR-21 Trochka ballistic missile. Second and third order detonations ripped through the vessel as tons of ordnance detonated. Two other Russian Navy Ropucha-II class LSTs (the Kunikov and Novocherkassk) narrowly escaped destruction by fleeing the port. This attack was made possible through high-technology recently delivered to Ukraine from the West. This is the most significant loss yet for Russia in the war and will further complicate its already significant logistics problems in Ukraine.

Russian LST Orsk explodes as Two other LSTs escape

Also, the US and EU apparently have reached a deal for the US to supply the EU with American liquid natural gas (LNG) to further divest the EU from dependence on Russian LNG.

Also, it is with due emphasis that the statement made yesterday by Andriy Yermak, head of the Office of the President of Ukraine, be repeated yet again. "It is important for Ukraine that Israel become one of the guarantors of an international treaty on security guarantees, which would provide clear security guarantees for Ukraine after the end of the war with Russia." 

23 March 2022: Recent western MSM reporting has it that the Russian Federation would only use nuclear weapons if it were faced with an existential threat, in accordance with the Russian Federation's concept of what an existential threat would actually be. Well, that intended comforting news is only a half truth, a deliberate omission of the most salient fact. The fact is that Vladimir Putin's primary spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, and the deputy secretary of Russia's Security Council, Dmitry Medvedev, are on record saying that the United States and its NATO allies intent is to humiliate, divide and destroy the Russian Federation. Sounds like an existential threat, albeit a paranoid mindset, but it is what it is. 

By what measure could the NATO alliance assure the Russian Federation that it has no intention to humiliate, divide and ultimately destroy it? That answer gets back to the November 2021 to January 2022 pre-invasion demands Russia made, knowing full well that NATO would never agree to them. Those demands were for the withdrawal of all NATO forces out of eastern Europe and the ejection of Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania and Bulgaria (i.e. the former Warsaw Pact nations) from the North Atlantic Alliance. 

Here's a little known fact also conveniently omitted from MSM reporting. There were no NATO troops in these same countries prior to the Russian invasion, occupation and annexation of Crimea - exactly eight years prior (23-24 February 2014) to Russia's invasion of Ukraine on 24 February 2022. One month later Russian mercenary troops (Wagner Group), also known as the "little green men" began the Donbas War in Donetsk and Luhansk Oblasts of southeastern Ukraine. Make no mistake, this is a war of Russian aggression which has very similar overtones to what Hitler's Nazi Germany did in central Europe prior to World War Two.

To be crystal clear, the regime holding power in the Kremlin has made it known that it is fighting an existential war against NATO, a war which makes the use of nuclear weapons permissible by its own paranoid concept of an existential threat to itself. Hoping that something does not happen is not a strategy, it is a grand impracticality; a virtual self-fulfilling prophecy. So the world waits to see what NATO's recognition and response to this overt nuclear threat will be.

Completely destroyed Russian T-80UM2 "Super Tank"

22 March 2022: The Russian Federation dictatorship of Vladimir Putin is now telling its citizens that the "special military operation" launched in Ukraine one month ago will continue for an undetermined length of time. Things are not going according to the original war plan - a misguided and abject failure - and as a result Russian generals are being sacked left and right. Better to be sacked than sent to the front lines where expert Ukrainian snipers have been picking off Russian generals at a rate of one or two per week. Putin himself is reportedly in at least a partial seclusion due to fears of a coup d'etat or assassination.

The Russian government is also calling up for service 16 and 17-year old youths who will begin their preparations for wartime military service. This action, in addition to the Russian military's focus on civilian targets instead of warfighting against peer Ukrainian military forces delineates the tactical shift from initial invasion to the attempt to begin siege and hold territory operations in eastern Ukraine in order to force a surrender. The image at the top of a destroyed Kyiv shopping mall is emblematic of the morphing Russian strategy. Ukraine will never surrender to Russia, and therefore Russia now has its very own "forever war."

It may be, as some are suggesting, Russia will of necessity resort to weapons of mass destruction in the coming days.

Global SITREP B4:22: A Covenant Among Many

15 March 2022: The unprovoked Russian war against Ukraine appears to be entering a terminal phase, one that will include a formal agreement or contract between several parties. In this case the agreement might be more akin to the definition that is applied to a covenant (treaty) as described by Joshua 9:6.

In Eschatology Today's traditional forward leaning posture, it appears at this point to be a near certainty that the cessation of hostilities in Ukraine, to include the withdrawal of Russian forces from most if not all of the country, will essentially be a treaty that ensures security requirements for the whole of Europe and not just Ukrainian or Russian requirements for security guarantees. It has only been days since the last implicit Russian threat of nuclear strikes, so an iron-clad treaty in this regard will be essential.  

This is what all of Europe, that is, the EU backed by the economic and military power of NATO will negotiate and confirm at a conference in the not too distant future. Ukraine will have won its defensive war and Russia, having virtually exhausted its ability to sustain its offensive military operations will be forced to withdraw to ensure its economic survival and independence from Red Chinese domination.

Warfare is likely to continue for perhaps the next four to six weeks, and barring an unforeseen black swan event, Russia's invasion will simply and literally run out of gas, and food, and its armies will become incapable of further action. The process being envisioned here could take several months, and European reconstruction of an independent and occupation-free Ukraine will take far longer.

Perhaps, just perhaps, this nascent treaty of security among multiple parties in Europe might be extended and confirmed for a period of seven years in the not too distant future to include the nations of a war-ravaged Middle East, as foretold by the angel Gabriel in Daniel 9:27. 

 

Global SITREP B3-22: Please Stand By... Part II

The "Ghost of Kyiv"

UPDATE 12 March 2022: The Ukrainian Air Force pilot dubbed The Ghost of Kyiv had his image released by Ukraine's Ministry of Defense yesterday. This pilot's name is being withheld for the time being, but that fact of the matter is that all of Ukraine's pilots are the Ghost of Kyiv. They have been very busy flying missions, landing, rearming, re-fueling and going on second and third missions every day. There are apparently about 50 Ghosts performing these strike missions every day. When additional MiG-29s arrive from NATO countries that donate them to the UAF there will be that many more Ghosts of Kyiv in the skies over Ukraine.

Kyiv and Ukraine as a whole are now within a 24-48 hour period which will go a long way in determining the near-term course of the war. The expectation is for the TOS-1A (image below) and other tactical artillery and rockets to initiate a first attempt to level the city center of Kyiv, while the Russian Air Force and rocket forces strike ever deeper into western Ukraine. There is also the spectre of NBC warfare emerging at some point soon, and it may be dependent on how well Ukraine's ground and air forces continue to perform during this period, and how quickly the promised defensive weapons from NATO arrive in country and get deployed to the front in the east. There are also false flag operations going on that are intended to widen the war. Almost anything is possible this weekend.

Russian TOS-1A Thermobaric MLRS in Brovary, Ukraine

11 March 2022: In the now viral video taken by a Ukrainian Raybaktar TB-2 drone that was loitering over a Russian armored column in the Kyiv suburb of Brovary, the presence of a Russian Army TOS-1A Thermobaric MLRS within that column is clearly evident. It is seen within the red circle in the image above. 

Ukrainian militia, believed to have been the Azov Battalion, launched a combat effective ambush of this column, forcing its retreat back down the highway in had used in enterer Brovary. Accurate anti-tank missle fire appears to have deliberately not targeted the TOS-1A vehicle as setting of its highly lethal ordnance would have certainly oblitered the immediate urban area and all human beings seen in the image. The identified geolocation of the above image in Brovary was within 1 mile of Kyiv city limits and 4 miles from downtown Kyiv when the forced retreat by Ukrainian ambush occurred.

The designed combat role for the TOS-1A weapon system is to provide fire support against lightly armored enemy vehicles, munition depots and exposed enemy ground troops. There is zero valid military reason to see the TOS-1A in this civilian-populated setting unless its amended combat role in the anticipated assault on Kyiv is to eradicate entire sections of the city and whats left of its human underground habitation, including the sum of Ukrainian defense forces in the city. 

TOS-1A Thermobaric MLRS Launching

There are confirmed reports containing both ground and satellite imagery of TOS-1A MLRS appraoching Kyiv along every axis of approach from the west, northeast and south. Kyiv, it would appear, is to be literally leveled and depopulated, piece by piece, according to an assessment of the intel contained in the reports.  The use of the TOS-1A against Kyiv is assessed to be when a number of the systems encircle the city at a distance of approximately 3 miles. This course of action is reinforced by new reports of Russian armored columns widely dispersing into smaller towns and wooded areas outside of Kyiv.
