Friday February 15, 2013 a meteor ripped through the sky in central Russia sending fireballs crashing to earth. Fragments of the meteor smashed into the Chelyabinsk region, in the Ural Mountains injuring over 1,000 people. Later that same night, San Francisco Bay stargazers in America saw the blue flash of a meteor which caused a loud sonic boom as it fell, breaking apart and spreading meteorites in the North Bay. In many ways this disaster resembled a nuclear attack…a possibility for which Russia is better prepared than we are.

Friday February 15, 2013 two Russian nuclear-armed bombers circled the Western Pacific Island of Guam, equipped with nuclear-tipped missiles. The two Russian Tu-95 Bear-H strategic bombers were followed by U.S. jets that had scrambled from Andersen Air Force Base on Guam. The event occurred just hours before President Barack Obama’s state of the union address.

Military analysts said the bomber incident was highly unusual and believe Moscow was sending a strategic message to Washington. The bombers flew over a thousand miles from the Russian Far East and according to Defense officials they were likely equipped with six Kh-55 or Kh-55SM cruise missiles that can hit targets up to 1,800 miles away with either a high-explosive warhead or a 200-kiloton nuclear warhead. In contrast, the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima was 13-kiloton.

Military analysts say that Guam plays a strategic role in the Pentagon’s defense strategy designed to counter China’s precision guided missiles, submarines and anti-satellite weapons designed to prevent the U.S. from defending its allies or keeping sea lanes open. As such Guam is a key target for China and North Korea.

There are growing tensions between China and Japan and the U.S has committed to defending Japan. The Russian bomber flight seems to be a signal of its intentions to support China in any conflict. North Korea’s third underground nuclear weapons test also seems to be part of sending a coordinated signal to the U.S.

However, the U.S. appears to be ignoring the signal that Russia has been sending for decades. Vladimir Putin said “For Russia to feel secure and for our partners to listen carefully to what our country has to say, Moscow must spend about $775 billion by 2022 for new armaments and a more professional military.” At the same time the United States is disarming its nuclear arsenal, as I said in my NewsWithViews.com article of October 29, 2012 entitled “The Day Russia Attacks the United States.”

For decades Russia has been building up a vast network of underground bunkers and nuclear blast shelters. Some military experts believe that Russia is secretly preparing for World War III. Other intelligence experts are speculating that Russia may be planning a future attack on the United States. The Russians have been storing grain and other foodstuffs, gold, and oil and diesel fuel. Russian underground bunkers can store 326 million tons of grain, and their military can store up another 80 million tons of grain.

What if Russia does attack the United States with nuclear weapons and mushroom clouds erupt over major U.S. cities? Are we ready? In addition to military analysis, the Prophet Ezekiel in Ezekiel 38 talks about the War of Gog and Magog which many students of Biblical prophecy believe refers to Russia leading a coalition of forces along with Iran in a military invasion of Israel.
The invader, apparently Russia, is clearly identified in Ezekiel 38 as a military superpower.

However, although some scholars believe that the United States is referenced in Bible prophecy, if it is, it is not clear. There are some scholars who believe that America is Babylon. But most scholars do not see the United States mentioned clearly in Bible prophecy and the question is “why?” As I have explained in my 3-DVD series “Are You Ready?” America may simply merge into the coming one world government that seems to be approaching quickly. However, some scholars suggest, with ominous overtones, that America is not mentioned in the prophecy because it will no longer exist.

Russia has enough nuclear fire power to destroy the United States. Their nuclear submarines keep popping up in our coastal waters and their nuclear armed Navy has bases in both Cuba and Venezuela. Simultaneously, the U.S. is disarming. What if America experiences a crisis, such as a terrorist attack, asteroid impact, EMP attack, or financial collapse? Would Russia, knowing it has overwhelming nuclear power, attack the United States with nuclear weapons?

I don’t know about you, but I think it is time to stop living in denial and do a lot of soul searching. In ancient Israel they used to have watchmen who climbed into towers to keep a look out for the enemy. Today the watchmen appear to be our military analysts and intelligence experts. That is because America as a whole does not seem to believe in God anymore. But, although some would disagree with me, I don’t believe the Biblical role of the watchman is over. I think that a small number of watchmen have been faithfully blowing the trumpet. But the leaders of secular society and even many of the church leaders make every attempt to marginalize these watchmen.

What if suddenly a rainstorm of Russian nuclear missiles was fired into our cities and, from the West Coast to East Coast, America began to burn with a nuclear fire? Today “fire and brimstone” preachers are mocked by some of the mega-church celebrity preachers. But Russia doesn’t laugh and Moscow never sleeps. From Russia with love!
