I can see this Putin/Ukraine issue as a possibility of igniting a World War, as it did in WW1. But if it does erupt into a war I think it would be the war mentioned as the 2nd seal judgment...Rider of the Red Horse. I don't see this happening now though but it could steadily build up to that in time. (We'll be out of here first though) John McTernan Commentary: World War 3 About to Start?I have watched what is happening with Russia and Ukraine very closely and held back from writing about it until now. It really does appear that Russia is ready for war with the West and Putin is not going to back down from Obama. For years, I followed Putin very closely because of the connection between Russia and the great battle against Israel listed in Ezekiel 38/39. I write about this in my book As America Has Done to Israel. What I learned from watching him is that Putin does not bluff and lie. He is not like Obama, but rather, when he says something, he means it. Evidently Putin believes that Obama and the West lack the courage to resist him over the Ukraine. This is a test of wills to see who backs down. I would be shocked if Putin backed down. What I see happening is Russia moving into the Crimea and maybe all of the Ukraine. Obama then leads an economic boycott of Russia, while Russia shuts off its natural gas supply to Europe. This could cause the world economy to spiral out of control, which then will directly lead to war. China is watching this very closely and will move against Japan and other Asian nations. North Korea coordinates all this with an attack on the South. The American military is overwhelmed and defeated. Full Article LinkFair Use for Discussion Purposes.

Interesting article, Morningstar. The only statement I'd take issue with is the following: I don't believe China would ever allow this. Right now they're just as frustrated with Kim Jung Un as the rest of the world and have made it clear to him that they would not tolerate war on the Korean peninsula. No war allowed on Korean peninsula: China

I do think that there is a lot of tension between different countries. Even in Venezuela, as well, things aren't the greatest. Regarding Israel, in particular, I am sure that this peace deal isn't the 7-year "covenant with many" spoken in the Bible, especially since it's only between Israel and the Palestinians, as opposed to "many," which I think of as being a lot of nations/countries. For there to be a covenant I think that tension needs to disappear, which is why I agree that before anything there will be a war at some point. The question is, will we be here to witness it all?

Thanks for posting this. He makes it sound so plausible, it's frightening.
The paragraph about Putin always meaning what he says, unlike Obama, was interesting.

Good article Becka, and a very good thought on that possibility, another way to look at what unfolding in the Ukraine and the consequences that might follow, very good point! It seems to all be falling into place so quickly.

Obama is foolish. Placing sanctions on Russia will hurt the EU (and by extension, the US) far more than it will hurt Russia. This is not a conflict that will be solved by gentle diplomacy and pretty rhetoric. Crimea today... Ukraine tomorrow, and after that...?

Benjamin, I'd call Obama something else but being a Christian woman, I can't say it. I believe we will have Psalm 83 and Isaiah 17:1 first before Ezekiel 38 happens because Israel will feel safe after conquering their immediate surrounding enemies. Those two prior to Ezekiel 38 could happen within a matter of days though, as with the Six Day War. I think we're out of here soon guys!

So, don't I just hear in the last minute where one of these talking heads goes, "Putin needs a therapist." ? lololololol. it's funny but extremely sad at the same time because they don't see what we all see as far as God's plan unfolding.
