=== Russia In The Middle East (03:04) ===

[00:00:00]  So we're talking about Russia.
[00:00:01]  Yeah.
[00:00:03]  Wake up, folks.
[00:00:04]  Exactly.
[00:00:05]  Where is Russia?
[00:00:06]  Where is the bear?
[00:00:08]  Yeah, the bear.
[00:00:09]  In the Middle East, in Syria.
[00:00:12]  And they are united with China.
[00:00:15]  China, the dragon, is in the Middle East.
[00:00:19]  They supply 5,000 troops.
[00:00:22]  Why is Syria bursting on the prophetic scene right now?
[00:00:26]  It's crazy.
[00:00:27]  It's amazing.
[00:00:28]  Syria, of course, that whole area is kind of the cradle of ancient civilization.
[00:00:33]  It is so prophetic.
[00:00:34]  Jeremiah speaks of the last days, the destruction of Damascus in the last days, and Syria being a central part of some kind of a war that breaks out there.
[00:00:44]  In the Old and New Testament, the Bible speaks of this prophetic World War III type of scenario that happens with the Euphrates River being the centerpiece.
[00:00:53]  That begins in Turkey.
[00:00:55]  It runs through Syria and Iraq and dumps into the Persian Gulf.
[00:01:00]  And now we had Arab Spring.
[00:01:03]  And then, of course, behind that, civil war erupts in Syria.
[00:01:06]  ISIS comes in.
[00:01:07]  Russia comes down to protect its interests.
[00:01:10]  China comes in.
[00:01:11]  They supply troops to Russia.
[00:01:12]  Russia starts making compact with Persia, Iran.
[00:01:17]  Could that be Magog and Persia now?
[00:01:20]  Ezekiel 38, Turkey maybe even being a part of Magog as well.
[00:01:24]  Turkey with Russia.
[00:01:26]  I mean, this is so, and it's all happening in and over Syria.
[00:01:31]  And now, because of what they're doing in Syria, Putin's calling his people home saying we're on the verge of World War III.
[00:01:37]  The Pope has proclaimed we're already in World War III because as you know as a historian, World War I built over four decades before the lid blew off.
[00:01:46]  World War II was nothing more than an extension of World War I. 21 years later after World War I is gone, the lid blows off.
[00:01:53]  Now we've got the little things, you know, building up, building up, building up for decades in the Middle East and in Europe.
[00:02:00]  And now Russia is in Syria.
[00:02:04]  Folks, are you hearing me?
[00:02:05]  Yes.
[00:02:05]  The bear is in the Middle East.
[00:02:09]  The dragon has aligned with the bear.
[00:02:12]  Persia is with Russia and China.
[00:02:16]  Turkey, the rise of an Islamic Ottoman Empire, the resurrected.
[00:02:21]  See, Israel was God's resurrected nation.
[00:02:27]  Satan is in the process of resurrecting the Ottoman Empire, his nation.
[00:02:34]  The book of Revelation chapter 2, church at Pergamum.
[00:02:39]  Jesus says, I know where you live.
[00:02:40]  You live where Satan has his throne on earth.
[00:02:44]  Pergamum is in Turkey.
[00:02:46]  Look what's happening in Turkey.

=== Ebb and Flow (00:27) ===

[00:02:49]  Look what's happening with Turkey and Russia and China and NATO and the United States and Iran.
[00:02:54]  And they're in Syria.
[00:02:56]  And now Putin this week says, everybody in Russia, find a nuclear bomb shelter.
[00:03:02]  That's right.
[00:03:03]  This week he said that.
[00:03:05]  That's where we are.
[00:03:06]  That's where we are.
[00:03:07]  Now, these things ebb and flow, you know?
[00:03:10]  And I'm not a doomsday or I'm not a datesetter or a hand-wringer.
[00:03:14]  I mean, you know, it can ebb and flow.
[00:03:16]  Things can happen.
