Dark War Clouds gather on Israel s northeast border as Russia and her allies invade Syria. In 587 BC, Ezekiel the Prophet predicts a final agempt to eliminate Israel who will have come back into My land amer 18 centuries. At that Pme, the God of Israel will show the world that He is the one and only God The word of the LORD came to me: Son of man, set your face against Gog (Ezek. 38:1-2). This is what the Sovereign LORD says: On that day thoughts will come into your mind and you will devise an evil scheme. You will say, I will invade a land of unwalled villages; I will agack a peaceful and unsuspecpng people all of them living without walls and without gates and bars. (Ezek. 38:10-11). You will advance against my people Israel like a cloud that covers the land.

The Russian military surprised Western military experts last week by launching 26 high-tech Kalibr shiplaunched cruise missiles, also known as 3M-14s on rebel targets in Syria. These missiles, being previously unknown, were seemingly showcased for the purpose of demonstrating the power and reach of the Russian navy and its highly-advanced missile capabilities. Should the U.S be alarmed? Almost certainly so. At a cost of $70 billion a year, Russia has the world's third-largest defense budget, boasting 845,000 troops, 22,550 tanks, and 1,399 combat aircraft.
