Russia is Punking Lame-Duck Obama! Russia’s Intent Against the US is Calculated, Threatening! (Exceptional Video) Hal Lindsey

Hal’s facinating video report follows his weekly newsletter below. Please check it all out and share as you prepare!
This week on ‘The Hal Lindsey Report’
Last week, in the Baltic Sea off the coast of NATO-member Poland, two Russian fighter jets “buzzed” a United States destroyer, the USS Donald Cook.
And not just “buzzed” in a convivial, welcoming manner, but in an aggressive, in-your-face style. In fact, they flew so close to the ship that the jets’ airflow caused wakes in the water.
The week previously, a Russian fighter jet aggressively challenged an American RC-135 reconnaissance aircraft flying in international airspace over the Baltic Sea. It flew within mere yards of the aircraft, performing barrel rolls over the RC-135.
Now, it’s not so unusual for one nation’s forces to encounter or challenge another’s forces when they are approaching its airspace or coastal boundaries. But it is usually done in a “we know you are here and we are watching you” manner. And it is done when the aircraft or ship approaches the nation’s borders.
These Russian aircraft challenged the American vessels in international waters and airspace off the coasts of other nations, i.e., Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia. And they did it in an aggressive, bullying manner. Of course, no shots were fired or evasive maneuvers taken. But the intent was calculated and threatening.
Debate is now raging as to “why” Russia is behaving so aggressively. Opinions vary. Some believe Russian President Vladimir Putin is exerting his dominance by “punking” lame-duck President Obama, convinced he will not retaliate.
It gives Putin the opportunity to look strong while making the American President appear weak.
Others believe it goes further and is a message to the former Soviet Republics who are attempting to ally themselves with the west. Putin is saying, “Don’t trust the U.S. They won’t even defend themselves, why do you think they will defend you?”
And he makes a pretty good case.
A few years ago, the west and a newly-liberated Russia convinced Ukraine to surrender the huge pile of nuclear weapons it harbored from the Soviet era. The United Kingdom, The United States, and Russia each guaranteed that they would protect and secure the territorial sovereignty of Ukraine against all aggressors.
Ukraine surrendered the weapons.
In 2014, Russia invaded Ukraine and stole the province of Crimea and its critical seaport on the Black Sea. The West objected and gave up a collective yawn.
Last year, Russia began a slow-motion invasion of eastern Ukraine. Putin’s explanation echoed Hitler’s explanation for entering the Sudetenland prior to World War 2. He has noted that most of the people in eastern Ukraine are Russian and speak Russian and love Russia, so he wants to make sure they are protected from the lovers of the West who run the government in Kiev.
Of course, he only chose to do this after his puppet president in Kiev was run out of office by the Ukrainians in what has become known as the “Euromaiden” revolution.
Once again, from the West, Ukrainians are hearing a collective yawn. Those in east Ukraine are being held hostage by Russia. They have no help and little hope.
Meanwhile, even though the mainstream media has been featuring reports of Russia’s impending withdrawal from Syria, we know otherwise. And how do we know? Russia has told us.
Russian government-owned Sputnik News recently reported about the Russian forces who remain in Syria. According to Sputnik, the remaining task force has several goals: “…fighting terrorism, supporting President Bashar al-Assad, and control over the region.”
Did you catch that? Russia is remaining in Syria in order to continue exerting its “control over the region.”
We already know that Iran is increasing its control over portions of that region almost exponentially — especially since the United States granted it a clear path to nuclear weapons and supplied the money to fund it.
So now the two dominant outside forces in the most volatile region of the world are Iran and Russia. Persia and Magog.
Do I have your attention yet?
If not, how about this? Aviv Kochavi, Israel’s head of military intelligence, recently stated that, at any given time, more than 200,000 missiles are aimed at Israel. And even though Israel has developed a vaunted missile defense system, Iron Dome, its glaring weakness is that it can be overwhelmed by large numbers of missiles. And 200,000 is a large number of missiles.
Many of those have been built by arguably the world’s most dangerous terrorist organization, Hezbollah. Of course, Hezbollah is the de facto ruler of Lebanon, which sits directly on Israel’s northern border.
And don’t forget Iran. Its leadership sworn to Israel’s utter destruction, Iran has an arsenal of missiles capable of reaching Israel. And now that they’ve gotten the tacit green light from the West to continue building nuclear weapons, within a couple of years Iran could have four of those armed with nuclear devices.
Today, we can see more clearly than ever that only the hand of God prevents the State of Israel’s immediate annihilation.
And finally, I know that some Christians just don’t want to hear the kinds of things we discuss on The Hal Lindsey Report. It depresses them. Talk of impending global recessions, major deadly earthquakes, humanity’s moral decay, disease and plagues ravaging parts of the world, and wars and rumors of wars all over the place doesn’t often make for a fun half-hour of television.
But it’s reality. The very same reality the ancient Bible prophets predicted thousands of years ago.
Another reality is that the true believers and followers of Jesus Christ will not have to endure the trauma that is just around the corner for Planet Earth. We are going to be rescued by Jesus Himself before it all begins in earnest. That’s called the Rapture. I call it “Operation Evacuation.”
It’s time to get ready to be evacuated from this earth.
In the meantime, though, we are living in exciting times. But exciting times are usually very stressful times. And if the stress is getting you down, I have some good news.
There is a “Secret Place” in Jesus. A place in which you can dwell and lead “a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and dignity.” (1 Timothy 2:2 NASB) A life of peace and security can be yours even in the midst of the chaos and turmoil of this world.
I want to lead you there this week. Please tune in.

ARE YOU COMPLETELY PREPARED?
IT’S THE MOST IMPORTANT PREP YOU CAN DO!
The Bible tells us that every human has sinned and fallen short of the glory of God which is is a heart-penetrating truth. He has provided a way to cleanse us of our sins since we can never be “good enough” to cleanse ourselves. That avenue to God’s grace, mercy and forgiveness (the cleansing of our sins) is through His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ of Nazareth Who is equally God.
Not one of us are guaranteed a “tomorrow”. Has your time run out? Will you continue to ignore the promptings of God the Holy Spirit or have you awakened to the essential need for God, risking eternal damnation?
God the Holy Father, God the Holy Son and God the Holy Spirit are One God, the true, living, uncreated God Who is ever-present, all knowing, all powerful and all loving. He desires that every single person be forgiven, saved and to live eternally with Him. He is our only real protection and His love for you is unchanging. Accept Jesus Christ as your Savior, the true Messiah, today.
You can’t take your salvation for a test drive. You’re all-in or not.
Admit to Him that you are a sinner in need of forgiveness, that you are truly sorry for your sins. Acknowledge that He died for your sins, rose from the dead and lives forevermore. Invite Him into your life and to help you to turn from sin. Rejoice! You just became a Christian! Now trust in Him and get to know Him through the Bible which tells us everything we need to know and through prayer/talking to Him. He eagerly desires relationship with you.
John 15:20 “Remember my word that I said to you: The servant is not greater than his master. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you: if they have kept my word, they will keep yours also.”
Luke 9: 23 “And he said to all: If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.”
Suffering, just as Christ did is the road to Heaven. Sorry, there will be no rapture. Even if there were a rapture only Christians would be taken. You have no possibility of being a Christian when you are outside of Christ’s Church, the Catholic Church.
Sure we are not greater than the Master and we suffer for being Christians and keeping the witness from the world system. But we do not suffer the wrath of God during the Tribulation period. In Revelations after the great, “Come up Hither,” in Chapter 4 verse 1 the church is never mentioned again. The believers who die during that time are tribulation saints and not church saints. You really need to accurately dived the word of God.
Just like in the time of Noah, God will protect His people right here on Earth. What is coming is not the end, just a purge. Christianity/Catholicism will flourish afterwards.
Apocalypse 4:1-2 “After these things I looked, and behold a door was opened in heaven, and the first voice which I heard, as it were, of a trumpet speaking with me, said: Come up hither, and I will shew thee the things which must be done hereafter. And immediately I was in the spirit: and behold there was a throne set in heaven, and upon the throne one sitting.”
“Come up hither” is addressed specifically to St. John.
The US destroyer was within Russian waters off the Russian enclave of Kalingrad – they go out to 200 nautical miles. It is easy to forget, Russia borders Poland. If you enter a country’s territory you are challenging it’s military, which is why incursions are announced and arranged in advance, and why America has such problems with the likes of Iran, Russia, China Etc by crossing territorial boundaries as if it owns them. You were aggressively inspected and allowed to pass, which is hardly being sunk. When that happens you will not get to report it.
Absolutely. America has got to learn they don’t own the world, can’t just waltz into other peoples territory where they are not welcome. Which is growing in area and intensity with every atrocity against humanity America commits. And all over profit, everyone else in the world has to be destroyed, bombed back to the stone age,has nothing to do with anything other than Corporate American profit. Hilary Clinton’s hacked emails state quite clearly that America murdered Gaddafi, his sons, and destroyed Libya for it’s gold and oil.
In many ways it would be a good thing if America does manage to pee off Putin and he utterly destroys America in return. End of global problem, for a while at least.
LOLOLOL
America’s biggest enemy is it’s own poli-tic infestation, not Putin. Putin has made it quite clear he has no intention of attacking anyone, and so far he’s stuck to his word. But if America continues with it’s warmongering and destruction for profit with Russia, he will bring it to your door. No more proxy wars in other countries, he will be dropping bombs on your heads.
America wont stand a chance, because Russia has developed technology that can disrupt ship and aircraft electrics, making them dead in the air/water. America has been tweaking the bears tail to get Russia to use it again so they can work it out. So far with no success, Putin is no fool.
