The Ezekiel 38-39 prophecy continues to align with modern day headlines. Russia makes a big move in the natural gas markets by inking a deal with Iran in the Chalous Gas Fields of the Caspian Sea. Experts think this deal allows Russia to potentially control the European Gas Market. How will this affect global prices?
Russia launched a missile into space and destroyed one of their satellites. Why? Because they can…
Russian President Putin positioned himself as a broker with recent skirmishes between Armenia and Azerbaijan.
The Turkish Lira continues to plummet against the US Dollar. Inflation is hitting Turkey hard over the last year. Turkey is starved for cash and needs revenue in a hurry. Turkey vows to start drilling for natural gas in the eastern Mediterranean Sea.
Sudan’s government remains in chaos. Former Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok has been released from house arrest and is likely to be reinstated as Prime Minister. Eventually Sudan will turn to Russia according to Ezekiel 38-39 and join in the coalition of countries against Israel. Remember, Sudan signed the Abraham Peace Accords with Israel during the Trump Administration.

Millions of Americans will be getting together for a holiday of Thanksgiving. There will be piles of turkey, dinner rolls, stuffing and dressing, casseroles, and gravy. Hot brown and plenty of it!!! Don’t forget the pies!!! This will be followed by a tryptophan induced nap… zzz zzz zzz… instead of watching the Bears and Lions oh my…
Let’s not kid ourselves. We have all heard the family holiday stories. The time we spent with cousin Eddie (little National Lampoon’s Vacation reference). Remember when so and so did that… Don’t forget the crazy aunt. Heaven forbid, the drama and exhaustion of “The Family Argument“!
Proverbs 17:1 Better is a dry morsel with quiet than a house full of feasting with strife.
God’s word has an interesting observation in the verse above. For starters the Hebrew word for “better” is “towb“. The word can also be translated as good or beautiful. This is the same word God used in the beginning after each day of creation, “towb” or “good. “And God saw that it was good.”
…a dry morsel… Another translation could be “a parched and ruined fragment“.
…with strife. This is the Hebrew word “rib” (pronounced reeb). It is also translated as dispute or controversy. Every thing is a contest.
It is a beautiful thing to eat a dry, expired cracker in quiet security. Some personalities can ruin a great spread of a meal and a gathering.
Proverbs 15:17 Better is a portion of vegetables where there is love, than a fattened ox served with hatred.

Leviticus 7:12 If he offers it for a thanksgiving, then he shall offer with the thanksgiving sacrifice unleavened loaves mixed with oil, unleavened wafers smeared with oil, and loaves of fine flour well mixed with oil.
This is the first time the word “thanksgiving” is used in the Bible. “Thanksgiving” is mentioned before “thanks”. Thanksgiving is the Hebrew word todah. The issue is an attitude of the heart. Be thankful for what you have and share it with others. Your grateful attitude may change another’s heart.
Ultimately, Thanksgiving is not about the food. The holiday is about relationships. Have your heart in a good place. Be thankful for your family and friends!
Psalm 133:1 Behold, how good and pleasant it is when brothers dwell in unity!
Revelation 7:12 “Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving and honor and power and might be to our God forever and ever! Amen.”
Ezekiel 38:5 Persia, Cush, and Put are with them, all of them with shield and helmet…
The ancient name of Put is highly likely the modern day country of Libya.
About 2,500 years ago, the prophet Ezekiel stated Russia will be joined by several countries with their future invasion of Israel from the north. One of those countries is modern day Libya.
Are we watching Gog of Magog attempt to build his coalition?
Saif Al Islam Gaddafi vs Khalifa Haftar vs Aguila Saleh vs Fathi Bashagha vs the prime minister Abdulhamid Dbeibeh as candidates for the Libya presidential elections are set for December 24, 2021.
What is America’s tortured history in Libya? How did we get to where we are now in the 21st century?
Who are the primary players in Libya today? What role is Russia playing? Russia is supporting a Gaddafi. What role is Turkey playing? Turkey is supporting Saddam Haftar who is the son of General Khalifa Haftar who has met with the Russians. Israel has met with the younger Haftar as well. Confused???
Oil and gas are the drivers. Libya has the largest oil and gas reserves in Africa. Putin wants control of the oil and gas market throughout Europe. Libya is another piece of the puzzle.

Leviticus 25:23 The land, moreover, shall not be sold permanently, for the land is Mine; for you are but aliens and sojourners with Me.
God transfers authority and possession according to His own choice. He owns everything.
Jeremiah 27:5 By My great strength and outstretched arm, I made the earth, and the people, and animals on the face of the earth. I give it to anyone I please.
In the previous post, humanity was originally placed in charge of the Earth in Genesis 1 at the creation. Mankind failed and dominion was transferred by God.
Click on the link below for audio/video and additional commentary.
Reality is… Satan is currently in charge of the world. God has given him authority since the fall of man in the Garden of Eden.
1 John 5:19 We know that we are from God, and the whole world lies in the power of the evil one.
2 Corinthians 4:4 in whose case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving so that they might not see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.
Ephesians 2:2 in which you formerly walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, of the spirit that is now working in the sons of disobedience.
Galatians 1:4a who gave Himself for our sins so that He might rescue us from this present evil age…
Look at Satan’s temptation of Christ.
Luke 4:5-7 And the devil took him up and showed him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time, and said to him, “To you I will give all this authority and their glory, for it has been delivered to me, and I give it to whom I will. If you, then, will worship me, it will all be yours.” See alsoMatthew 4:8-9.
Notice, Jesus does not dispute Satan’s statement. Satan is telling the truth in this case. The kingdoms of the earth are under his authority. Satan is trying to get Jesus to take the easy way out. He knows Jesus is tired, hungry, and thirsty after fasting 40 days in the desert. Jesus, You can have it all now. No need to wait thousands of years. You don’t have to suffer. No need for the floggings. Skip the cross. “If you, then, will worship me, it will all be yours.” -Satan
Let’s face it. Satan’s way is easier than the path of God the Father. Satan wants to bypass the consequence and payment of sin.
~
Jesus Himself would later confirm Satan has authority and dominion over the Earth.
John 12:31 Now judgment is upon this world; now the ruler of this world will be cast out.
John 16:11 and concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world has been judged.
Satan’s rule will not last forever. His kingdom is not eternal. He is due a 1,000 year time out in the abyss or prison. Satan will not be rehabilitated when he is let out of jail. He will return to his ways and deceive the nations. His rebellion will fail. And he will be escorted to his retirement community, the Lake of Fire (Revelation 20).
Natural disasters are breaking out across the Middle East. Fires are raging in Lebanon. A 6.3 earthquake in Iran.
Meanwhile, is Iran’s Supreme Leader’s health failing???
Ezekiel 38-39 remain front and center in the news. Russia and Belarus appear to be colluding to manipulate natural gas prices to Europe. Russia’s Vladimir Putin is playing the good cop while Belarus President Lukashenko is the bad cop.
President Xi Jinping appears to be headed for President for life in China.
Saber rattling continues to come from China as they threaten Australia and allies if they come to the defense of Taiwan. “If Australian troops come to fight in the Taiwan Straits, it is unimaginable that China won’t carry out a heavy attack on them and the Australian military facilities that support them.”
Jesus, as well as others, said He would “come like a thief in the night” when He comes again. American culture is asleep at the wheel concerned with world things…
Here is the latest from Michael Douville. Michael is call for home prices to continue to increase across the country per his cyclical timing model. The 18 Year Real Estate Cycle is reviewed. Michael points out where we are in the model. How much longer will prices continue to rise?
The mainstream press reports of “transitory” inflation. Or are we witnessing a full blown inflation cycle. Michael thinks inflation is here to stay for awhile. But for how long?
Inflation is occurring around the globe. Producers like China and Japan have inflation that is greater than our consuming inflation here in the United States. What does this mean for future prices here in the United States?
Inflation is showing no signs of slowing. Inflation is broad based across all sectors of the economy. We are currently on track for the highest inflation in 50 years dating back to the 1970’s. The majority of the population has never experienced this level of inflation.
What role does Demographics play in this scenario? Millennials (born from 1982-2000) are moving out of their parent’s basements. This is the largest segment of the United States population.
Millennials are starting to rent apartments and houses. Rent continues to increase year over year.
Millennials are getting married and families are developing. They will need to buy goods. And they will need to buy houses.
Home inventories across the country are the lowest in decades. There is a shortage of homes to buy. Building and construction pressures are mounting. Lenders are beginning to relax borrowing standards.
Click on the video below to get the details from Michael.
Revelation 6:5-6 When he opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, “Come!” And I looked, and behold, a black horse! And its rider had a pair of scales in his hand. And I heard what seemed to be a voice in the midst of the four living creatures, saying, “A quart of wheat for a denarius, and three quarts of barley for a denarius, and do not harm the oil and wine!”
Revelation 6 talks of a time when it will cost a day’s wage to eat. John the Revelator promises that hyperinflation is coming at some point prior to the return of Jesus Christ. Hyperinflation is on the scene prior to the onset of the Great Tribulation. Are we watching the dominoes being put into place??? Are we witnessing the seeds of hyperinflation? Be on guard and watch!
We are living in interesting times as the Chinese would say…
Leviticus 25:23 The land, moreover, shall not be sold permanently, for the land is Mine; for you are but aliens and sojourners with Me.
God transfers authority and possession according to His own choice. He owns everything. The point of the post is to see how God transfers authority in leadership over the earth.
Please do not make assumptions in doctrine regarding marriage based on these verses. Marriage is a discussion for another day…Hint, both parties submit to Christ (Ephesians 5).
Jeremiah 27:5 By My great strength and outstretched arm, I made the earth, and the people, and animals on the face of the earth. I give it to anyone I please.
In the beginning, God gave authority over the earth and everything in it to humanity. Notice authority was granted to both the man and woman equally. Authority was not given specifically to the man. See the two verses below in Genesis 1.
Genesis 1:26 Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; and let them rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over the cattle and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”
Genesis 1:28 God blessed them; and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it; and rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over every living thing that moves on the earth.”
There are two verbs of interest in the verses above. They are “rule” and “subdue”.
The Hebrew word for “rule” is radah. It is used as a simple action verb and radah means: to have dominion, rule, or subjugate. The verb does not necessarily imply harshness or utilizing an iron fist. There are examples where God instructs the use of temperament and respect.
Leviticus 25:43 ‘You shall not rule over him with severity, but are to revere your God.
~
The Hebrew word for “subdue” is kabash. It is used as a simple action verb and kabash means: to bring into bondage, enslave, make subservient; to subdue, force, violate; or dominate, tread down. In other words, use force if necessary. Kabash is used in the context of conquering the land in the book of Joshua and the military victories of King David.-Definitions per Strong’s Concordance
The leadership structure radically changed with the original sin in the Garden of Eden. Originally, God transferred authority of the earth to the man and woman equally, humanity. A consequence of the fall in Eden is God redefined the dynamic of the relationship between the man and the woman. The woman lost her position as co-ruler with the man.
Genesis 3:16b To the woman He said… “Yet your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you.”
~
Notice God’s comments to Noah after the flood in Genesis 9:7 “As for you, be fruitful and multiply; populate the earth abundantly and multiply in it.”
There is no mention of “rule” and “subdue” anywhere in Genesis 9. Humanity’s authority over the earth is lost for now.
~
With the fall, humanity lost authority over the earth. As of now, look who is in charge.
1 John 5:19 We know that we are from God, and the whole world lies in the power of the evil one.
Currently, God has transferred authority over the earth to Satan.
In the beginning, humanity’s co-rulers (Adam and Eve) failed to rule and subdue the earth. Leadership structure and order were radically changed.
In the end, humanity’s co-rulers (Jesus and His bride the church) will succeed, fulfill, and restore God’s promise in the Millennial Kingdom.
Revelation 20:6Blessed and holy is the one who shares in the first resurrection! Over such the second death has no power, but they will be priests of God and of Christ, and they will reign with him for a thousand years.
2 Timothy 2:12If we endure, we will also reign with Him; If we deny Him, He will also deny us…
In the mystifying direction of events, where do we fit? If you saw my last, it was introspective. This is not quite the same but this is a hypothesis based on current events and Bible exposition.
While cleaning up his first covenant people, God wants a demonstration of his power in the service of doing so. We, the new covenant intercessors have a role to play. I hope you enjoy one man’s opinion.
For those who REALLY want to understand Russia’s (ancient Magog) role in the Ezekiel 38-39 prophecy, this is a must see.
Ezekiel 38:16 You will come up against my people Israel, like a cloud covering the land. In the latter days I will bring you against my land, that the nations may know me, when through you, O Gog, I vindicate my holiness before their eyes.
Russia is on the move in Europe with threats to Ukraine. Russia controls the flow of natural gas to Europe. Russia supports Belarus who is another key player in the distribution of natural gas to western Europe. Winter is coming and it could be a very cold season for those who depend on their energy from Russia. Logistics are natural gas flow are discussed in the presentation.
How does the migrant crisis on the Poland and Belarus border factor into this equation? Russia is moving military equipment around the region.
Guess who has enough natural gas to disrupt Russia’s pricing control of the market to western Europe??? ISRAEL
Is natural gas “the hook” that draws Gog of Magog into the Promised Land to take spoil???
Ezekiel 38:4 And I will turn you about and put hooks into your jaws, and I will bring you out, and all your army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed in full armor, a great host, all of them with buckler and shield, wielding swords.

An assassination attempt was made on Iraqi Prime Minister Mustafa al-Kadhimi. Efforts failed and al-Kadhimi survived. Riots have taken place near the Green Zone in Baghdad. Isaiah 13 prophecies of a time of complete desolation of the area in the Day of the Lord. Modern day Iraq is a prophetic hot spot for the end times scenario.
Military hardware continues to pour into Syria and the northern border of Syria. Russia and Turkey continue to move more resources closer to Israel. Ezekiel 38-39 tells what the future holds. The military build will continue to the point is looks utterly hopeless for Israel. But God has other plans…
Ezekiel 39:9-10 “Then those who inhabit the cities of Israel will go out and make fires with the weapons and burn them, both bucklers and shields, bows and arrows, war clubs and spears, and for seven years they will make fires of them. They will not take wood from the field or gather firewood from the forests, because they will make fires with the weapons; and they will take the spoils of those who plundered them and seize the plunder of those who plundered them,” declares the Lord GOD.
Ethiopia appears to be on the verge of civil war. Could this have implications for the region and ultimately the southern front of Ezekiel 38-39 with Libya and Sudan??? It’s worth watching. Governments are de stabilizing in various places. What about the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam project? This is going to be the largest hydroelectric plant in Africa. Isaiah 19 says the Nile River goes dry in the end times scenario.
Keeping a close eye on the Pacific theater with Australia, South Korea. The US, UK continue to forge military alliances in the region. This week, the US and South Korea initiated unannounced air force war games. More wars and rumors of wars just like Jesus said.
Australia makes a move on personal property, bank accounts, and driver’s licenses in response to COVID related violations and fine collection. China encourages the population to store up food in case of an emergency. China’s goal is zero COVID infections before the Winter Olympics coming up in February 2022.
