Headline news on The Guardian newspaper website today Ukraine PM Warns of War as Russian Military Seizes Control on Crimea. Another article on The Guardian website by Orlando Figes notes: The signs are ominous: Crimeas parliament has been stormed by pro-Russian gunmen; its airports seized by soldiers in Russian uniforms; and Russian military trucks and helicopters are on the move. It looks like we are heading for a new Crimean war. The area of the Crimean peninsular is strategically, culturally and historically tied to Russia. The Guardian article continues: Crimea is vitally important to the Russians. According to medieval chronicles, it was in Khersonesos -- the ancient Greek colonial city on the south-western coast of Crimea, just outside Sevastopol -- that Vladimir, the Grand Prince of Kiev, was baptised in 988, thereby bringing Christianity to Kievan Rus, the kingdom from which Russia derives its religious and national identity. While in the west the idea of empire building is very much out of fashion; in Russia it is a different story, particularly when it come to areas that are core parts of the Russian Empire. In an interview with TIME, Arizona Senator John McCain said Obama is naïve about Putins ambitions to restore the Russian empire. It has been said that without Ukraine, Russia is no longer an empire. It is quite clear that Russia has no plans on giving up control of parts of Ukraine and letting them drift over to the west. Will there be war as Ukraine is saying? To this we dont know. But from Bible Prophecy we do know that ultimately Russia will be dominant in Europe and build its empire. As a result of his study of Bible prophecy, on January 1, 1950, John Thomas wrote some very interesting words, which we see coming to pass today. In the introduction to the book Elpis Israel, he wrote: The future movements of Russia are notable signs of the times, because they are predicted in the Scriptures of truth. The Russian Autocracy, in its plenitude, and on the verge of its dissolution, is the Image of Nebuchadnezzar standing upon the Mountains of Israel, ready to be smitten by the Stone. When Russia makes its grand move for the building-up of its Image-empire, then let the reader know that the end of all things, as at present constituted, is at hand. The long-expected, but stealthy advent of the King of Israel, will be on the eve of becoming a fact; and salvation will be to those who not only looked for it, but have trimmed their lamps by believing the gospel of the kingdom unto the obedience of faith, and the perfection thereof in fruits meet for repentance. Today Russia is making moves to maintain and expand its empire. There is currently a power struggle over who will dominate Europe. Will it be the Greek Orthodox East or Russia? Or will it be the Latin West centred around Germany and the Vatican. This power struggle between these great powers is today centred in Ukraine. However, the West is financially weak and has a smaller military. Putin knows this very well and that there is no appetite for war in the west. There is little of a deterrent for Putin, so he is making moves to build up his image empire. These are events which students of Bible Prophecy have been waiting for over a 160 years. Today there are incredible events beginning to unfold in the world. Come back next week, God willing as we continue to look for Bible prophecy in the news.
