COLLAPSING OIL PRICES & ECONOMIC SANCTIONS . . . HOOKS IN RUSSIA'S JAWS !!!


Russia is facing an financial catastrophe . It's economy is in tatters , strangled by the ever-tightening economic sanctions & further crippled by the recent collapse in global oil prices. The combined effect has estimated to have cost the Russian economy over $140 Billion to date. Add to this the ' flight of capital ' overseas by panicked investors who - foreseeing coming turmoil - are turning to safer markets. The consquence has been Russia's currency has plunged recently by over 40% , despite Russia's Govt spending over $700 million ( 20% of its gold reserves ) in a futile attempt to stabilise & support the freefalling Rouble. With an imminent financial crisis looming on the horizon , Russian President Vladimir Putin remains defiant , fiercely railing against international sanctions & bolstering his domestic popularity by demonising the West with belligerent rhetoric & threats. With Russia relying on its oil exports for half its revenues & no prospect of sanctions being removed , economic realities & financial hardship will soon ' force ' the Russian Bear to lash out militarily in an aggressive drive into the Middle East to seize a lucrative spoil , exactly as foretold in scripture over 2,000 yrs ago. Amazing !! We are on the threshold of ' cataclysmic world events ' soon to unfold & so clearly detailed aforetime in God's Word



Ezekiel 38v3-12 - Thus saith the Lord GOD ; Behold , I am against thee, O Gog , the chief prince of Meshech & Tubal . . . I will turn thee back & put hooks into thy jaws & I will bring thee forth & all thine army , horses & horsemen , all of them clothed with all sorts of armour , even a great company with bucklers & shields , all of them handling swords . . . in the latter years , thou shalt come into the land that is brought back from the sword & is gathered out of many people , against the mountains of Israel . . . but it is brought forth out of the nations & they shall dwell safely all of them. Thou shalt ascend & come like a storm , thou shalt be like a cloud to cover the land , thou & all thy bands & many people with thee . . . It shall also come to pass , that at the same time shall things come into thy mind & thou shalt think an evil thought : ... thou shalt say , I will go up to the land of unwalled villages ; I will go to them that are at rest , that dwell safely , all of them dwelling without walls & having neither bars nor gates . . . To take ' a spoil ' & to take ' a prey '
