Russa will punish the descendants of Judah in war.

Jeremiah 5:15 discusses the nation that will be used to  The passage mentions that the nation is not one of the neighboring Arab nations, "I will bring a nation upon you from far." It also mentions that the nation has a foreign language not easily understood, "a nation whose language thou knowest not, neither understandest."

" The concrete silos that hold their Inter-Continental Ballistic Missiles (ICBM), weapons resemble a grave hewn out of stone. "Their quiver is as an open sepulchre, they are all mighty men." A quiver is the case that holds arrows. The inability of the Jewish people to successfully integrate Russian immigrants into their society is caused in large part to the difficulty in understanding Russian speech. . Many Russian Jews have returned to Russia because of the frustration they experience by not easily assimilating into Israel's society. Should the United States fail to break the impasse in the middle east peace process, it would be Russia's right as the other broker to the process to step in and attempt to extract a solution to the problem as they see fit.

ref:  Babylon is in Iraq 55 miles of Baghdad.

Babylon is in Italy ie Rome.  The Italians are descended from the Babylonians.  

The present day occupants of Iraq are mostly Arabs -  Abraham's descendants through his handmaid Hagar.

Sorry sir but with all due respect you are wrong. Cry Maybe you should research a lil' more before you make your rebudle. The information I have used is copied and pasted of a dictionary/geographical site. Which mean's that it is a proven fact not an opinion.
 God Bless!

Aliens in the Bible
What is an Alien?

Webster's dictionary defines "alien" as "Different in nature; foreign, adverse or hostile." What could be a more appropriate definition of rebellious supernatural angels? In America, immigrants are considered aliens because they originate from a foreign land. Recent financial realities have caused some in Congress to make it difficult for foreigners to enter American without the ability to sustain them selves economically. Satan's angels are not born on earth so they qualify as aliens because they 1) are different in nature, 2) foreign - not originating from earth and 3) by their deceptive plans are adverse and hostile. However, they will not come seeking our economic prosperity. If anything, they will be capable of bringing more to the plate than anyone from earth is capable of offering them. This is another reason why their plan of utopia will be so "Tempting."

Abraham's Dinner Guest
The story of Abraham's dinner guest provides strong biblical documentation of supernatural beings capable of changing their appearance before our eyes. Before God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, he sent two angels to Abraham. These angels appeared as MEN. Men, who sat, ate, and drank. The story leaves no doubt that these men were angels. Abraham was not the only person to see these angles and interact with them on a one on one basis. In the 19th Chapter of Genesis, we read of the angel's visit to Lot and his family, and how they instructed to Lot and his family to pack and leave. The people of Sodom and Gomorrah also saw these angels as men because they wanted Lot to send the men to them so that they could have sexual relations with them. Therefore, to the homosexual population of Sodom, these angels appeared as regular good looking guys, no visible wings or halos. This is clear biblical documentation that angels can and do appear in fleshly form. There is nothing in the bible that dictates that evil angels are less capable than good angels are, with the exception of what they can do to Christians. Therefore, it stands to reason that evil angels can also appear in a fleshly form.

Jacob's Wrestling Match
In Genesis 32:24, the story of Jacob and his struggle with the angel, the angel is referred to as a man. While you read the story it appears that Jacob is physically as strong as this man, until he is touched somehow on his thigh. Even then, Jacob refuses to let the man go until he receives a blessing. Just think about it for a minute. Here is an angel whose arm Jacob could put his hands around and grab hold. Again, this is a clear biblical reference of a supernatural being in a body that appears to have a fleshly form.

The Test of Job
Angels are not always good. The Book of Job tells us that Satan and his Angels went before God's throne after roaming through the earth. Satan was sure that he could cause Job to denounce God if only God would remove the "hedge" of blessings and prosperity from around Job. It is important to note that Satan's crew is described as sons of God and not demons. The word "Demon" does not appear in the Bible. Just as there is good and bad among humans, there is good and bad among angels. Just because a crowd in South America witnesses what appears to be an angelic figure in the skies over a steeple church does not necessarily mean that the angelic figure is a good angel! For some reason, the majority of people seem to have a mental block when we associate the word "angel" with "evil." This alone will make it difficult for most people to recognize Satan.

The Mighty Morphin Angels - Changing Form and Appearance
The Apostle Paul goes to great lengths in his New Testament writings to give the nature and motive of Satan's behavior at his formal introduction to earth. In Corinthians, Paul uses the word "transformed", translated from the Greek word "metamorphfoo" which means disguised. Anyone familiar with children's hit TV show knows that "Morhpin" means to change into a disguise that hides your true identity. These television Morphins are careful to guard their identities in each episode. Therefore, in addition, Satan's nature and identity are hidden by his appearance. He comes in peace, not as a God but the next best thing to God. A supernatural being from another world with the perfect plan to save us from ourselves. How can God be anything but angry at such a charade when he has already offered the blood of his only begotten Son as the only method of salvation!

It seems that many our "Christian soldiers" are too busy planning on being raptured so that they will not have to face the music. Yes, it would be nice to disappear and not have to deal with some of the crisis that develops toward the end of the age. However, the Christian's goal is supposed to be eternity, not coveting our fleshly existence. Our presence is neeed as a help to others in the time of temptation. It will not be a time to duck out as cowards!

The term "Sons of God"

The term "Sons of God" is translated from the Hebrew word "Nephilum" -- the fallen ones. Some churches use the phrase "Fallen Angels." Their fall is also recorded in the New Testament book of Jude verse 6. Let's examine the terms "Sons of God" and "took."

There should be no question as to the identity of the "Sons of God" because the term is repeated in several other Old Testament passages, including the book of Job chapter 2 verse 2 where Satan and his angels approach the throne of God regarding Job. Keep in mind that Christ had not yet died for the atonement of the sins of the world so mortal man could not have been considered a "Son of God" during Old Testament times. Mankind had not been granted the opportunity to gain eternal life. In numerous instances in the Old Testament where the phrases "Son of God" or "Sons of God" were used, they were in reference to angelic supernatural beings. Is it illogical to expect the Creator to intervene when his creation is under siege by rebel supernatural beings? There is no basis for the religious community to teach that the Sons of God are anyone other than the fallen angels. Angles are referred to as Sons of God in Job 1:6, 2:1, 38:7, Psalms 29:1, 89:6 and Daniel 3:25. If the "sons of God" are angels in these verses then they should be considered angels in Genesis 6.

Webster's definition of abduction is "to take away by force." In the sixth chapter of Genesis, we learn that the "Sons of God" Took all of whom they chose. These angels did not ask or get permission. The scripture emphatically states that they "took" all of whom they chose. That is considered abduction.

Is this the time when we as Christians must be prepared to face these beings again? Will the leaders of organized religion apologize to those who were silenced and deprived of this teaching? At the very least, religious institutions could submit these interpretations to their congregations in the spirit of healthy debate. I often wonder if the religious community has fallen victim to the subtlety of Satan by the very fact that a large percentage of the clergy have made it possible for their flocks to be victims of deceit. In Matthew 24, Christ warned that a period similar to the "days of Noah, before the flood, when they were giving and taking in marriage and knew not until the flood came" would precede his return. This passage has become one of the most often quoted scriptures among Christian fundamentalists. However, they fail to make the connection that the only story in the Bible about the days of Noah before the flood is the story of the "Sons of God" taking the daughters of men!

Noah was saved because he and his family had not interbred with the angels. Genesis tells us that Noah was perfect in his generations. We as Christians know that no human could be considered perfect except Christ. In order to fully grasp what is being said we must understand the meaning of the word used in this context. The Hebrew word " amim" means, "without blemish as in breed or pedigree." None in Noah's bloodline had been affected by the plan of Satan. This passage does not reference interbreeding among humans because the context of the passage centers around the son's of God behavior and the subsequent results of that behavior. The two New Testament passages that are considered parallel accounts of Matthew 24 do not mention the days of Noah. Luke 21 and Mark 13 are similar passages to Matthew 24 but Luke 21 was actually prophesied at a different point in time than Mark 13 and Matthew 24. In Luke 21, Christ responded to the people while he was still in the temple. Matthew 24 and Mark 13 were Christ's response to his disciples to specific questions after he had left the temple. The passages cover similar periods but there are differences. One of the differences is that Mark and Luke give a warning to "those that are with child and give suck." It should be noted that the statement "that these be the days of vengeance" precedes this woe. This is not the vengeance of Satan but the vengeance of God prophesied in chapter nine of the book of Hosea. The problem with this warning is that some people interpret this to be intended toward anyone who is pregnant which could include God's people. This would be a conflict of scripture and in direct conflict of the Old Testament. God specifically commands us to "be fruitful and multiply" in the Old Testament and the Apostle Paul tells us in 1 Thessalonians chapter 5 verse 9 that God's wrath is not for us. Therefore, the woe to those with child is not directed to God's people, but rather to those that are with child because of mating with fallen angels. God brought the flood in Noah's time under these exact circumstances. An uncontrollable outbreak of alien abductions and reproductive tinkering.

Some biblical scholars argue that Christ eliminated the possibility of procreation with supernatural beings when he stated "For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven." Rebellion makes a big difference between can not and do not. Those in rebellion will often do the things that ought not to be done. Rebellion is open defiance of established government or authority. According to God's Word, Satan and his angels are in open defiance to God's Government and Authority! So why wouldn't evil angels attempt to mate with humans?

Organized religion chooses to ignore these issues and teach a more easily accepted version. Is it dishonorable to take up the bible's challenge to "Test the scripture"? The validity of Christianity is not based in political correctness. A truly divinely inspired written gospel would be in no danger of failure. So why should the churches be afraid of debate on the issue of Supernatural Alien existence

Anti-Christ

As we approach the coming of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, let us not forget that the Anti-Christ comes first. Remember the words of the apostle Paul in 2 Thessalonians, chapter 2 verse 3: “Let no man deceive you by any means; for that day shall not come except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed the son of perdition. Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped, so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. While no one can argue that society as a whole has experienced a great “apostasy”, or “falling away” from faith in God, we must remain ready to meet the supernatural and occupy our turf as believers in our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, son of the living God. We can expect that this same leader who “Acknowledges” and “increases with glory” this alien deity will also seek to assist Satan in establishing his place in the temple of God, what many here on earth consider to be Jerusalem. Remember that the apostle Paul warned us that Satan would come “transformed”, translated from the Greek word “Metamorphoo” which means disguised. Satan shall come disguised as an Angel, or Messenger of light or enlightenment. He would never be so foolish as to declare himself against Christ. As a matter of fact he will say that he has seen God and can help us attain utopia because he is well versed in the ways of God. He will say that for us, he is the next best thing to God. That is the meaning of “Anti-“ in the Greek, instead of, in the place of, Christ. Not against Christ, but instead of, the next best thing too, in the place of Christ.

Let the people of the Almighty God be prepared mentally to be in the presence of the supernatural, as we remain ready for our Bridegroom. Let us not be foolish virgins using the oil of our lamps for the wrong time; let us reserver our oil for our true Bridegroom!

Christmas Day Has Prophetic Significance

 Tongue- A church council that met in the year 325 AD decided that the date, December 25, would be the designated date for the celebration of the birth of the Son of God, the Messiah Jesus Christ. This date conformed to the date marking the desecration of the Temple in Jerusalem by Antiochus Epiphanes in 168 BC on Kislev 25 - Kislev is the Jewish month of December. Interestingly, Kislev 25, December 25, 3 years to the date after the Temple was desecrated, is the day that the Temple was reconsecrated by the Maccabees, on Kislev 25, 165 BC.

Finding a flask of oil that was good for lighting the Menorah for only one day, it stayed lighted 8 days. Thus began the Jewish holy day of Hanukkah, also known as the Feast of Dedication or the Feast of Lights.

Jesus Christ celebrated Hanukkah in John 10:22. As the Light of the World, John 8:9-11, the church council chose December 25, the time for the Feast of Lights as Christmas Day, to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ.

Ref:  Christmas Day Has Prophetic Significance

Hi, Justa.

Not sure what your point is here.

For me, Dec 25(that's today! Smiley), Christmas Day, is wonderful because it represnets "hope".   A little baby boy born, and Simeon taking him in his arms, there in Luke 2:25+, "...a light for revelation to the Gentiles and for glory to thy people Israel."  

(BTW, at an archaelogical symposium of more than 8000 from the world over, in Atlanta just last month, two scholars announced they have found his tomb, inscribed with his name(an exact quote from Luke 2:25, too)...The same tomb where it was announced earlier this year, the inscription of Zecheriah, John's priest father, and where too, it is thoght, James, the brother of Jesus, was buried).

Christmas Day is wonderful for the hope it represents, in a literal human being, born "on this day".

It could be any other calendar day, as far as I'm concerned.

It jibes well with the pagan holiday--the festivity, the warmth.   Which to me is a part of that hope we have in Jesus--festivity, and warmth.    Smiley
