Ukraine: Between Russia & Europe

24th November 2019, hej

 

Recently Ukraine is in the news due to events in America. Why is Ukraine revealed as so corrupt? Why is the large sum of American aid to Ukraine not to be questioned? Why has it been revealed in testimony Ukraine is considered as if a border of America, a border worth defending with large amounts of money (debt). Why are Bible Students to take note?


Ukraine is geo-strategically important. Linking to Ukraine is a key to regional power. The beginning of the great empire of Russia was in Kiev. The Russ were of Kiev. They were Russians first in Kiev. Both the languages of Russia and Ukraine have their roots there. The reason the Rus grew powerful was due to the key location of Ukraine and Crimea which links the trade routes of the Mediterranean to the Baltic and to the rivers of Europe. The agricultural value of the vast area of land there also cannot be ignored. The massing of land and the distribution of resources is a creation of God, who made the border of Ukraine important.

God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, ..and hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation; (Acts 17:24-26)

From 2015 in lecture on 'The EU: Germany by Other Means', Peter Hitchens raises a curious point about Ukraine goes to the history. This links to it.

There were,

180 million people, 700 square miles lost to Russia in Europe after Warsaw Pact Soviet Union collapsed.

120 million people, 400 square miles gained in NATO and the EU.

The difference in numbers was due to Ukraine remaining neutral and non- aligned. Because it was not aligned it became a centre of the struggle between East and West.


If Russia controls Ukraine they have power. If the Germanic EU has control over it they have the power. It has to do with the size of the area in Europe, and the strategic location of the territory as a gateway to the three land masses. The US sought to control Ukraine to control and divide Europe. Peter Hitchens presents that there is solid detailed evidence the CIA sought from the end of WW2 to put together the EU as a device to control Europe and push against Russia. He also details how that policy was continued as the CIA was active in Ukraine in 2014 to oust Russian influence, to counter when Russia had moved in to support Syria's Assad.


We have now in the open the American plot. It is not hidden in the archives of the CIA. The public testimony before American Congress in America has revealed the huge amount of aid given to Ukraine. It has revealed that the Trump Adminstration gave weapons to fight Russia where Obama had not. It also revealed that all aid should have been dependent on it not being used corruptly, yet it is admitted that Ukraine is the third most corrupt country. It has been a doctrine to put money into places to be influenced, and the EU and America both sought to take Ukraine from Russia by putting money into it, including via NGOs. What tends to happen in reality, as sadly many a devout missionary has found, is that if large sums of money are put into a thing it leads to corruption. Thus the 'Aid' has not been effective, and the American-EU plot fell apart in corruption, leading to the election in 2019 of an anti-corruption, Jewish, native Russian speaker, Volodymyr Zelensky. As of November 21, 2019 Ukraine is now investigating the Burisma founder Mykola Zlochevsky for corruption. reuters.com

Yet it is all a forensic investigation now, as Zelensky is not a politician. The American-EU plot failed because it appears it also led to corruption.

But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts For the love of money is the root of all evil (1Timothy 6:9-10)


Peter Hitchens also points out that in 1870 the Franco-Prussian war created Germany and led to the fact that Germany would hereafter dominate Europe. If Britain is in the EU, they would be dominated by Germany, as they have found. Based on Bible prophecy as to the identity of the Merchants of Tarshish we expect Britain will leave the EU, with recriminations and a broken relationship.


Gog is said to be 'of Magog' in Ezekiel 38 (In context a prophecy in a world when Israel has been revived as a nation in Ezekiel 37).


Son of man, set thy face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him, (Ezekiel 38:2)

It may perhaps be remarkable that Gog is of Magog and is also a prince of Rosh. It is certainly remarkable that Ezekiel predicts Israel dwells on the Disputed mountains in safety, when to date that hasn't been seen!

in the latter years thou shalt come into the land that is brought back from the sword, and is gathered out of many people, against the mountains of Israel, which have been always waste: but it is brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell safely all of them. (Ezekiel 38:8)

We can conclude that we are to take note of the time when immigrant Jews, from many nations, dwell safely- as a remarkable -impossible thing – on the Mountains fo Israel. It is therefore very possible that it is also a – remarkable thing – that Gog is both of Magog and also Prince of Rosh. Europe is a large land mass where borders have moved a lot, yet as we can see there is a huge area of German speakers all through the centre. For Gog to both be of Magog and Prince of Rosh suggests a united control of Ukraine.


Peter Hitchens observed in that 2015 lecture, “America fears more than anything else is a German Russian rapprochement, Europe feared with the Molotov-Rippentrop pact – when Germany and Russia get together the world trembles.”


Already it has been observed in America that the commitment of the EU nations to Ukraine has waned. It was famously revealed in Zelensky's conversation with Trump, which Zelensky stood by. Embarrassed the Germans are now self-justifying, but have also to admit that, “Of course, it is possible to doubt that Europeans did enough for Ukraine; it is possible to argue whether it was always right. Besides, it is possible to criticize their sometimes ambiguous behavior toward Moscow, the German support of the construction of Nord Stream 2 is the striking example of it” (112.international It was perhaps always a project led by America's CIA and merely supported by the EU, hoping for gain. Now there is a huge take notice that Ukraine is a border wall. Yet the Berlin Wall was mostly built in the years just before it fell. America's deep-state is exposed as being concerned that Ukraine is maintained as a wall, and hopes to maintain by-partisan support for uncritical funding of Ukraine as a wall against Russia. Yet it seems few but the President and those about him have observed that the EU doesn't care so much anymore about defending that 'American' wall. One reason could be that there are now gas pipelines though the wall. Another is that America is now the enemy of the EU, two large economies that are competing and struggling for dominance. The American policy to unite Europe worked, while America was strong, but as American power is waning it creates a trading bloc which is growing too powerful, a kind of Frankenstinan monster.

More so as the man chosen by God to run Ukraine is a comedian; a Jewish comedian. A native Russian speaker. A Ukrainian. Where comedy is often the sudden revelation of a hidden truth against apposite reality. A man who would sit on a fence or unite with others for a prosperous peace. Ukraine is the key to power unlocking the wall. For Russia and Europe if they both hold the key to that 'wall', it becomes a link pin. Zelensky, a pragmatist who desires peace and prosperity, has reached out to the Trump Administration to seek backing to be strong to deal with Russia to gain peace. Zelensky has already said he would seek to normalise relations with Russia (and join NATO). forbes.com

Zelensky in the Trump call said the EU could do more for Ukraine, after which the EU sought to justify its efforts. euractiv.com This will lead to the EU efforts returning to Ukraine. Zelensky while perhaps laughed at for being 'caught', hits home and gains advantage in criticising the EU, in a secret suddenly revealed. Trump and Zelensky are not having to defend their statements on Europe, rather an indignant Germany and the EU are. It is telling that Ukraine has come out openly and backed Trump. With biting irony Zelensky rebuked an American reporter saying,“If I, as President of Ukraine, comment on Mr. Trump’s conversation, then this is interference” theglobeandmail.com

By the 19th of November he rebuked America for 'tiring' politics. timesofisrael.com

What is even more telling that at the same conference American reporters were annoying Zelensky about domestic American matters, others were asking about Russia.Another recurring topic was Mr. Zelensky’s effort to pursue a peace deal with the Russian-backed separatists who control the Donbas region of southeastern Ukraine. While his plan to make peace with the Kremlin has led to accusations of “capitulation” from his predecessor Petro Poroshenko, Mr. Zelensky said he had been elected – defeating Mr. Poroshenko by a wide margin – with a mandate to end a war that has taken more than 13,000 lives since 2014. “I’m not ready to lose the lives of more people,” he said. theglobeandmail

For the moment truth has given Ukraine the advantage, they can afford to brush aside self-destructive internal American politics: for now, with Zelensky and Trump, Ukraine stands between the EU and Russia. But as the American domestic divisions remove the power of the American President, Zelensky or his successor will unite the EU and Russia.

If in Ezekiel 37-39 we consider Magog as Germanic / Huns, and note that it predicts an alliance with Gomer, Gaul as the French and Rosh, the head (Hebrew), as the power of the far far North, we can see that the fall of Ukraine to the EU influence in 2014, to the power of the Germanic, is a key moment. It is more a key as there is in Ukraine the fault line between the Roman and the Orthodox churches. The fall of Poland from Russia to Europe was one step, but Ukraine is a key – to unification. America is so foolish as to be forced to drop the key for domestic partisan politics, a whistle-blower. The public inquiries are to most American's pointless without reference to partisan domestic politics. Yet already the fallout is that the hidden links to Ukraine must be broken, Hunter Biden has resigned. That link is broken. Would the Ukrainian President now feel free to phone the US? That link is broken. Would anyone in Europe phone, if all might be revealed in endless tiring public hearings? But more so as now the ordinary people of middle America are asking the question that those who move the money that make the wall don't want asked, 'Why is our money being spent there?' If there had been no impeachment hearing the matter of the American Ukrainian relationship would have never come to light, but now it has. The relationship will die in the relentless tiring light. The relationship fought for and won in 2014 was the 'wall': so their 'wall' will fall.


Ezekiel 38 predicts an alliance that has never occurred. No matter how the ancient names of the nations are understood, the relationships detailed in Ezekiel 38 translate into modern events in Europe and the Middle East. Israel's possession of the mountains is now a matter of international concern in both Europe and Russia. Daniel 2 is very clear in predicting that the old Roman Empire divided in two would stand together against Christ. Ukraine is both the divide line – and the join between the EU and Russia, in terms of religion and geo-stragetic territory. When Ukraine is not a wall, it becomes a link pin.

As an aside already Russia has territory deep into German Europe. They have the Prussian-German Königsberg renamed Kaliningrad . Königsberg was historically the influential Capital of East Prussia. Some Germans dream of getting back Königsberg lost at Potsdam. Peter Hitchens predicted in 2015 that as Germany becomes stronger in the EU, they will seek to trade again through Kaliningrad, as they can reopen their old Autobahn.

Thus for now the EU has some limited power over Russia's ancient capital Kiev, if they back Zelensky, but Russia has power over Germany's ancient capital Königsberg. Already Gog may be of Magog and be Prince of Rosh, as they come from Königsberg. Yet we expect based on Ezekiel 38 that German EU and Russia will Unite. It may well be France that unites them. DW the German News notes 09.09.2019 that the 2014 matter of Ukraine and Crimea is being re-considered by France.

The French foreign minister has called during a Moscow visit for better ties with Russia. Relations between Europe and Russia have been strained since the EU and US imposed sanctions over Moscow's annexation of Crimea. French President Emmanuel Macron hosted President Vladimir Putin for talks in southern France last month. The meeting in Fort Bregancon was an attempt by Macron at a rapprochement with Moscow. DW

Strategy notes three things; the French move to Russia is to prevent China moving in, Britain's absences due to the extended Brexit tragicomedy, and the German vacuum at the end of the Merkel era. project-syndicate.org

NATO was the structure of an American-led allinace to prevent France or Germany allying with Russia. On the 7th November 2019 Macron was reported to have said, "What we are currently experiencing is the brain death of NATO."

For Americans in Washington so worried over their Ukrainian wall, the key was dropped and lost in a partisan political mess that may become as bad as Brexit in reducing the ability to project power. While few in America are noticing, the key is being used by Emmanuel Macron the son of the Catholic Church to open the way to accord with Vladimir Putin the son of the Orthodox Church. As much American money may be put into Ukraine as possible, and even if it is not reduced by corruption, it will be of no benefit: to America: it is time, Gog is to be of Magog.
