"Magog's Revenge"

While everyone agrees the Nord Stream pipeline was deliberately sabotaged, no one seems to know who's responsible.

Fingers are pointing in every direction and tensions in the region have never been higher. The West claims Russia did it to themselves, and Russia says Ukraine had everything to gain.

The facts?

President Biden and the Undersecretary of State for Political Affairs made threats against the Nord Stream pipeline in the run-up to the Russian/Ukraine war.

Biden: "If Russia invades...then there will be no longer a Nord Stream 2. We will bring an end to it."

Reporter: "But how will you do that, exactly, since the project is in Germany's control?"

Biden: "I promise you, we will be able to do that."

Undersecretary Victoria Nuland: "If Russia invades Ukraine, one way or another, Nord Stream 2 will not move forward."

According to a report by German magazine Der Spiegal, the CIA warned Berlin weeks ago about a potential attack on gas pipelines in the Baltic Sea. 

In addition, both the U.S. Navy and the Kearsarge Amphibious Ready Group recently conducted separate training exercises in the Baltic Sea.

Suspicious? Well, let's just say they had: motive, means and opportunity.

Meanwhile, Russia is busy ordering up the draft and making nuclear threats.

Oh, and guess what the Russian Ministry of Defense just did? Made a bid to procure iodine pills.

Putin insists he's not bluffing. The rest of us better pray that he is.

A wise man once said: "There are reasons for Putin to hold his nuclear fire including the fact that Russia itself would be contaminated by fallout from a nuclear strike." - Gideon Rachman, Financial Times

"Because the wicked refuse to do what is just, their violence boomerangs and destroys them" (PROVERBS 21:7).

"Where's America in Bible Prophecy?"

Is it just us, or is this administration's strategy of lead-from-behind leaving something lacking?

Sounds like an oxymoron, doesn't it? But that is how one Obama adviser described the President's "style": lead from behind. Unfortunately, the description seems made to order when you consider some of Washington's shocking passivity on some major issues.

Face it people, things are starting to pile up. Let's see...we've got Israel and Iran simmering on the back burner, for what--four years now? Syria is in absolute shambles and getting worse everyday. (How is it that Libya qualified as a humanitarian crisis but Syria does not?)  And please, don't even get us started on the federal budget. After four years, it took threats of "no budget-no pay" to actually get Congress working on one.

Procrastination is one thing, but this is something else. It's abdication. Somebody needs to tell Washington this lead-from-behind business isn't working. In fact, it seems some countries are beginning to think we're weak. For instance:

• North Korea threatened the United States with a preemptive nuclear strike last week in response to new sanctions. (Of course, no one believes they have the capacity to hit our mainland, but still, the nerve!)
• Hamas is warning President Obama not to visit the Temple Mount in his upcoming trip to Israel. If he dares, they will consider it a "declaration of war" against the Islamic world. Really?
• And just last month we had to scramble fighter jets after catching Russian nuclear bombers circling American airspace over Guam.

One of the most frequently asked questions in the Western church concerning Bible prophecy is: Where is America? You'd imagine the world's only superpower would have a least a few verses devoted to it, but it doesn't. Not even one. Why not? Nobody knows for sure, but on its current trajectory, it doesn't take a prophet to see the vultures are circling.

General Douglas MacArthur warned: "History fails to record a single precedent in which nations subject to moral decay have not passed into political and economic decline. There has been either a spiritual awakening to overcome the moral lapse, or a progressive deterioration leading to ultimate national disaster."

How is it possible to lead from behind?

Ask Jesus who said:" I am the Good Shepherd. My sheep hear My voice and I know them, and they follow Me. And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand" (John 10:11, 27-28).
