The liberal media are in denial over the fact that the neo-Nazi movement in Ukraine is not only the strongest in the world, but also that it has penetrated the highest levels of Ukrainian society - particularly the military.
Part of their coping mechanism and propaganda is to suggest that the phenomenon is in reality only very small. "Yes, Ukraine has a few neo-Nazis, but they are completely marginalised just like in all other normal countries," is the sort of line we hear trotted out.
But this German-made documentary about "Ukraine's Nazi Kids" shows things in a rather different light, giving us a clear picture of the scale of the problem.
"But Britain and the USA have Nazis too..." the liberals bleat again. Yes, but they are not running large sections of the education system. And Nazis in Britain and the USA have not been integrated into the regular army, trained and equipped to NATO standards and then encouraged to spend the last eight years shelling black suburbs of Detroit and Los Angles, or the Muslim parts of Bradford and Birmingham!
But that's the reality of the situation on the ground in Ukraine, and this video reminds us that such appalling policies have widesrpead support. Not just among young children, but also among the parents who allow them to attend such camps, and the authorities which gleefully allow them to go ahead.
While we have your attention, we would like to remind you of our Emergency Ukraine Appeal
While BILLIONS of Dollars pours into western Ukraine, the beleaguered people in the east have been forgotten and abandoned to starve or freeze to death. WE WILL NOT ALLOW THIS TO HAPPEN! In conjunction with our brethren on the ground in the area I am asking you to dig deep and send your immediate financial support (as best you can) to ourEMERGENCY UKRAINE WAR APPEAL!
I am urging you to spare just a few minutes and think about what has become of our beloved country when the left-wing traitors took power in 2021
With the Presidential elections stolen by 'Creepy' Joe Biden, America is hanging on by a finger nail.
Amnesty for 30 million illegal migrants, gun confiscation and the growing threat from radical Islamism is a threat to the future of our children and grandchildren.
The rise of militant Islam will lead to more terrorism, grooming gangs, Sharia courts and street patrols…just look at the towns and cities of Britain and Europe!
Political correctness and left-wing treachery will make our people second-class citizens where anyone who displays the slightest sign of Christian religiosity, or patriotism will be labelled a 'racist', a bigot, or a heretic!
Black Lives Matter are burning our cities to the ground with the support of the Democrats...only Patriots can stop them!
Is this the kind of country you want your babies to grow up in? Is this the nation our war heroes fought and died for in their millions?
There is only one way to salvage a future for our children: Join the biggest and most dynamic resistance movement in the Western World, The Knights Templar Order International.
War is coming!
We need true Patriots like you, to help take our country back. Divided we can do nothing. Together...we will not be defeated!

“The Power Brokers You Never Elected,” is the single best thing we’ve found for you to show someone who is sort of starting to grasp that something is wrong but doesn’t understand what it is.
The film is made by the Swede Jonas Nilsson. He narrated it in Swedish, and sometimes shows himself, so in the English version, it looks a bit weird to have him dubbed in English. But otherwise – wow. What a great 50-minute summary of the virus hoax and the way it has been used to centralise wealth and build up this control grid.
The great piece of work is designed in such a way that someone without much background in this material will be able to understand it very easily. All-in-all, it's a very basic and straightforward presentation of the facts, with all of the sources documented, and no real room for debate or disagreement about what exactly it is that is going on here on planet earth.
Well, here we go again – the 1970’s and early 1980’s TV “prophecy experts” are calling and they want their “Russia,” “Russia,” “Russia” newspaper eschatology back front and center because Russia is invading Ukraine and since Russia kind of sort of sounds like the “Rosh” of the Gog and Magog war in Ezekiel 38-39 and Revelation 19-20 – there you have it! Even though John tells his first-century audience that Christ’s coming and this war were events that would “shortly” take place or “about to be” fulfilled (Rev. 1:1, 19YLT — 22:7, 10, 20) in the imminent war of the Romans and Jews, the religious con-artists can’t resist running the same scam again!
Islam, Talmudic Zionism, and Premillennial Zionism all believe this end time war is imminent and what is scarier, they are all interested in trying to make it happen or self-fulfill it if need be. This makes it very easy for the New World Order to start World War III by manipulating a religious war between Israel and the Muslim world – while at the same time making money off of the war and using it as a financial “reset” for a global digital currency.
I propose is that the Bible’s “last days” or “end of the age” war is referring to the last days of the Old Covenant age and has nothing to do with an end of world history war/event. This war has already been fulfilled in the historical events of AD 67 – AD 70 and has NOTHING to do with modern wars, nuclear war, WWIII, or modern nations gathering against the Rothschild Zionist project of modern “Israel” (but not OT or NT Israel).
Since the “last days” “time of the end” (not the end of time) war is taught in many passages outside the books of Ezekiel or Revelation, we will cover those as well and divide this into a two-part series. Part 1 will deal with how this war is described in Isaiah 2-4/Luke 23:28-30 and Daniel 9; 12/Luke 21:20-24. Then Part 2 will deal with how the book of Revelation describes this war and see how it harmonizes with the same themes and imminent first century time frame of the passages covered in Part 1.
I think it’s safe to say that many Christians and even non-Christians have been conditioned to think that the battle of Armageddon or Gog and Magog is predicted somewhere in the Bible and somehow Russia plays a part in it. So, let’s begin by answering the question so many Evangelicals are asking right now and trying to convince unbelievers of:
Isn’t Russia “Rosh” found in Ezekiel 38-39 and isn’t this war starting right before our eyes?
I think Gary DeMar destroys this sound-alike “Rosh” is “Russia” hermeneutic and Gogology nonsense when he points out,
“The Hebrew word ‘rosh’ (ראש) is not a reference to modern-day Russia. Russia in Hebrew is spelled Rusiyah (רוסיה). There’s one common letter (ר). ‘Rosh” means “head” or “chief” as in Rosh Hashana, the start or “head of the year.” Rosh appears 600 times in the OT and is mostly translated as “head,” “beginning,” or “top.” Daniel I. Block in his unsurpassed two-volume commentary on Ezekiel translates Ezekiel 38:3, “[Son of Man], set your face toward Gog, of the land of Magog, the prince, chief of Meshech and Tubal.” The weapons: horses (not horsepower), chariots (not tanks), bows and arrows (not missiles and missile launchers) spears (not Javelin missiles), clubs, shields. The spoils: “to carry away silver and gold, to take away livestock and goods, to capture great spoils” (38:13). The same items brought back from the exile: “And every survivor, at whatever place he may live, the people of that place are to support him with silver and gold, with equipment and cattle, together with a voluntary offering for the house of God which is in Jerusalem.” (Ezra 1:4). Israel today is not living in “unwalled cities” (38:11; Esther 9:19 where the same Hebrew word (‘perazah’) is used). “Run, speak to that young man, saying, ‘Jerusalem will be inhabited without walls because of the multitude of men and cattle within it. For I,’ declares the Lord, ‘will be a wall of fire around her” (Zech. 2:4). The battle was an ancient one that’s been fulfilled.”[1]
Although these are accurate comments by Gary, if he now believes that the anti-type fulfillment of the Gog and Magog war was fulfilled between AD 67 – AD 70, then this necessitates a rough 40-year millennial period (AD 27 – AD 67), in that the battle of Gog and Magog comes after the thousands years (Rev. 20:7). Hopefully, Gary will clarify his millennial view in the near future.
If you asked most individuals where this same end-time or last days war was predicted in the OT (other than Ezekiel 38-39), and which of these OT texts Jesus uses to develop His eschatology for the Church, most would have no clue. So, let’s begin in the books of Daniel and Isaiah.
When did Jesus teach “the end” and or the “last days” war of Daniel 9:24-27; 12:7 and Isaiah 2-4 would be fulfilled?
Daniel 9:24-27
“And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the wardesolations are determined.” And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation [the end], and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate” (Dan. 9:26-27).
Daniel 12:7
And I heard the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the stream; he raised his right hand and his left hand toward heaven and swore by him who lives forever that it would be for a time, times, and half a time [3 ½ years], and that when the shattering of the power [Israel’s old covenant – that made them the head or tail to the nations] of the holy people comes to an end all these things would be finished [fulfilled].”
Luke 21:20-22
“But when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then know that its desolation has come near. Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains, and let those who are inside the city depart, and let not those who are out in the country enter it, for these are days of vengeance, to fulfill all that is written [in the OT which obviously includes Dan. 9:24-27 and Dan. 12:1-7].”
Luke 21:24
“They will fall by the edge of the sword and be led captive among all nations, and Jerusalem will be trampled underfoot by the Gentiles, untilthe times of the Gentiles [the 3 ½ years of Daniel 12:7 and Revelation 11:1-2] are fulfilled” (Lk. 21:24).
The seventieth-seven or seventieth week of Daniel 9:24-27 is a seven-year period in which Messiah accomplishes redemption and judgment for Israel. It is divided up in half. The first 3 ½ years entails Jesus’ anointing, earthly ministry, and death (being “cut off”) by which He inaugurates the New Covenant — roughly from AD 27 – AD 30. Then there is a “this generation” (AD 30 – AD 70) period between His crucifixion (Lk. 17:25) and His days of vengeance and judgment in which He would come through the Roman armies and usher in the end of the age war (Lk. 21:22-32) lasting 3 ½ years — roughly from AD 67 – AD 70 which ends the Old Covenant age with the desolation of Jerusalem and the destruction of the temple. Daniel 12:7 picks up the tail “end” of the seventy-sevens prophecy and describes this last 3 ½ years period of war to be when the “holy people” (Jews) would have their “power” (of the Old Covenant) “shattered.” In Daniel 12:1-7 Daniel asks when all these things would be fulfilled, and the angel links the tribulation, resurrection, and judgment “end” — “all these things” to be fulfilled during this 3 ½ years period of time.
Jesus in the Olivet Discourse taught that “all” of the eschatological events would be fulfilled within His contemporary “this generation” (AD 30 – AD 70) which included: 1) the signs 2) destruction of the temple 3) end of the old covenant age 4) His coming 5) the tribulation 6) the great commission 7) abomination of desolation / the war [armies surrounding Jerusalem] 8) resurrection / gathering of the elect and 9) the fulfillment of all OT prophecy, and 10) the arrival of the kingdom (cf. Mt. 24-25/Lk. 21).
Our focus here in this article is on the war of #7. Since the Jew in the first century understood the land of Israel to be a “holy place,”[2] there is perfect harmony between how Matthew 24:15 and Luke 21:22 describe the same event of Daniel 9 – the abomination of desolation. The Roman unclean armies (abomination) standing on the land (the holy place) would be the sign of Jerusalem’s imminent judgment/desolation and the end of the age war. This was a sign for the Christians to flee and they did to Pella where they were safe from the wrath of that prophetic 3 ½ years war of AD 67 – AD 70 that Christ unleashed upon apostate Jerusalem.
Isaiah 2—4 / Luke 23:28-30 and the “last days” “the war”
Isaiah 2-4 predicts Jerusalem’s “last days”, “in that day”, “Day of the Lord” coming by which Jerusalem’s “mighty” would “fall by the sword” and “in the war” (cf. Isa. 2:1 – 3:25). In that day or during this war, men are described as fleeing to the caves in the rocks and holes in the ground. At the time of this war, God would come in “majesty” and “shaking” Jerusalem’s “earth/land” or kingdom (2:10-19).
Jesus clearly identifies the time of this last day’s war for Jerusalem as the events leading up to AD 70 in Luke 23, where on his way to the cross He prophesies against Jerusalem, saying,
“…Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for me, but weep for yourselves and for your children. For behold, the days are coming when they will say, ‘Blessed are the barren and the wombs that never bore and the breasts that never nursed!’ Then they will begin to say to the mountains, ‘Fall on us,’ and to the hills, ‘Cover us’” (Lk. 23:28-30).
Futurists who admit that this passage was fulfilled in AD 70 fail to look at the context of Isaiah 2-4 which necessitates that the “in that day”, “last days”, “Day of the Lord” (Isa. 2:9-21) “war” (Isa. 3:23) is what causes men and women to flee and to call to the mountains and hills to cover or hide them in the events during the Roman-Jewish War of AD 67 – AD 70. This war and context of Isaiah will be brought back up in the book of Revelation to be fulfilled “shortly” thus harmonizing with Jesus’ time frame.
In Isaiah we also learn that it is through this coming “war” and “Day of the Lord” judgment that God would forgive the remnant among Jerusalem for her sin of bloodguilt: “…when the Lord has washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion and cleansed the bloodguilt from the heart of Jerusalem by a spirit of judgment and a spirit of burning” (Isa. 4:4). Jesus once again connects this last day’s “war” with Jerusalem’s sin of bloodguilt when the vindication of the martyrs would be fulfilled–at His coming in judgment in the Pharisees’ contemporary “this generation” to make their “house” or temple desolate in AD 70 (cf. Mt. 23:31-39).
Conclusion:
Jesus in Luke 23:28-30 and Luke 21:20-32 places the “last days” “war” of Isaiah 2-4 and Daniel 9 and 12 to be fulfilled in His contemporary “this generation” (AD 30 – AD 70). If this “day of the Lord” was an “in an instant” and global burning event, then why are people told to flee Jerusalem and many go to the mountains and caves in order to hide? This war was local and the time indicators place it in the imminent “3 ½ years” events of AD 67 – AD 70.
Now proceed to Part 2 where we will examine how this same war is described in the book of Revelation–where we will once again find the same themes and imminent time frame of fulfillment.
[1] Gary’s concise response to a Futurist on Facebook and this is also from his books on the subject such as: IDENTIFYING THE GOG-MAGOG ALLIANCE WHY THE END OF THE WORLD IS NOT IN YOUR FUTURE, (Powder Springs, GA, American Vision Press, 2008).
[2] In the Apocrypha “the holy place” meant the whole area of the “holy land.” In 2 Maccabees 2 it said, “As he promised in the law, will shortly have mercy upon us, and gather us together out of every land under heaven into the holy place.” This included the city and the temple, all of which were looked on as “holy.” The land was called “holy” (2 Maccabees 1:7), and the city was called holy (2 Maccabees 3:1).
“‘Not this Man, but Barabbas!’ Now Barabbas was a robber” (Jn 18:40).
Life, Light, Freedom, Truth Himself is revealed to the world and yet many encounter the revelation of Eternity, of the very Divine One, and shrink back into the shadows of fallen human distortion. There, in the murky shadows, humanity may comfort itself with self-affirming platitudes.
“The light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil” (Jn 3:19). In the darkness, evil movements and blindness caused by sin may be declared light by fallen man. Evil may be called good. Thus, in this case, darkness is taken for light. True light is rejected because it causes a painful exposure of the true state of humanity and persons.
To justify existing in darkness men gather to themselves voices that will confirm their wandering lusts and desires. “The time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; and they will turn their ears away from the truth” (2 Tim. 4:3). Men become willing slaves to their desires and seek to find prophets who will confirm and condone their love of self-infatuation.
Yet, the Scriptures testify, “Whoever transgresses and does not abide in the doctrine of Christ does not have God. He who abides in the doctrine of Christ has both the Father and the Son” (2 Jn. vs. 9).
And so, from the darkness, which men claim is light, and which produces a lying vision, they begin to “speak from the deceit of their own minds” (cf. Jer. 14:14).
The human mind and spirit can only be free when it transcends the limitations of their fallen reasoning. The human mind must be healed and then begin to ascend and encounter that which is Eternal and Divine. Then, from a place of timeless transcendence, untouched by the corruption of fallenness, truth may be spoken back to the confines of created limitations. “For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy” (Rev. 19:10).
Any voice which does not seek to speak from the limitless reality of revealed Truth and eternity is a false prophet. For such a voice takes as its guides the corrupt and fallen system of darkness to which the world, in its rejection of Light and Truth, is inevitably subjected. Such a one cannot perceive things as they truly are, for such a one sees only with eyes consumed with darkness.
Thus, like the Hebrews of old, each person is (and even groups of persons) confronted with a choice between Barabbas or Christ Jesus; to receive either a false prophet or the only true Prophet. St. Symeon the New Theologian teaches that Barabbas was a type of the antichrist, who is the epitome of a false prophet.
Fallen humanity loves false prophets for they confirm it in its wandering desires. It believes that such ones will help it to preserve and even make real the evanescent substance of darkness, which it chooses as its dwelling place through its rejection of light. Fallen man strives to establish darkness as the only reality. Thus it seeks the destruction of all those who would expose humanity’s self-inflicted desire to abide in fading darkness. Intoxicating itself with the words of false prophets, who are but robbers, it seeks to destroy Truth, and any who seek to speak of Truth. For Truth, it believes, will deprive it of its elusive and illusory place of power.
The false prophets cry out, “to preserve our authority we must do away with this Jesus Christ!” “Crucify Him! Crucify Him!” And the greatest tragedy is – such cries come not only from those of the world but also from those, who like the Hebrews of old, are called by the name of Israel, those called to be the assembly of the Living God.
Any who desire to follow after Jesus Christ must be willing to suffer. For to be a follower of Christ means that such a one must be willing to participate in the true Spirit of prophecy. And thus, each is called to “count the costs.” For it is abundantly clear that a person who speaks from the Truth will be, as it is written, rejected by this fallen system of the world. “Of whom the world is not worthy. They [those who sought Truth and stood for it] were made to wander in deserts, and in mountains, and in caves and in holes of the earth” (Heb. 11:38).
The spirit of the world hates any who seek to free themselves from its bondage of gloom. It will hunt down those who it considers to be rebels. It even seeks to present itself as an angel of light while doing so (cf. 2 Cor. 11:14). For the “good” of all, it desires to keep everyone in the dark cave of fallen human ignorance.
The Lord Jesus Himself said, “If the world hates you, you know that it has hated Me before it has hated you. If you were of the world, the world would love its own; but you are not of the world – but I chose you for Myself out of the world – therefore the world hates you” (Jn. 15:18-19).
And thus the true prophet may cry out, “For on account of Thee, we are being put to death the whole day; we were counted as sheep for the slaughter” (Rom. 8:36).
Such a person is willing to suffer all these things because he has tasted, even in some small way, of the good things to come. Moreover, he is confident that these words shall be fulfilled upon him, “Blessed are they who are persecuted for righteousness sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven” (Matt. 5:10).
Not so the false prophets. For them the preservation of earthly existence and worldly status takes priority. Their words speak to the lower impulses of mankind. They play upon the worldly cares, fears, and worries of people; thereby lulling them into a deadly sleep. They manipulate with fear and hold out the hope of comfort, but always just out of reach, just around the next corner. To reach it you must surrender and deaden just a little bit more of your conscience.
In such cases, sometimes, worldly cares and earthly pursuits are presented as virtuous. And thus, even in Christianity, a sad preference is promoted, one that seeks to preserve the strictly outward and institutional aspects while sacrificing the interior essential life. The freedom and dignity of Life in Christ is slowly strangled with the hands of compromise with the world.(This is not to imply a dichotomy, but rather that the exterior cannot live without true soundness of the interior, the heart. Thus, the exterior may seem to shrink and be despised while the essential nature of the heart is kept alive and even flourishes. But if the heart dies the exterior will also perish.)
The prophet Jeremiah reveals this about false prophets, “They invent futile visions for themselves. They speak from their own heart, not from the mouth of the Lord. They say to those who reject the word of the Lord, ‘You shall have peace.’ To those who walk according to their wishes, and to everyone who walks in the error of his heart, they say, ‘No evil shall come upon you” (Jer. 23:16-17)
True prophecy is “not of man,” rather it comes from the unchanging and eternal foundation of Revelation in the God-Man. It is not of this world. Conversely, false prophets speak according to the “wisdom” of this fallen age. They seek to sacrifice Revelation for the sake of momentary earthly stability and gain. They are not willing to suffer tribulations for the sake of righteousness and truth. Of such the Lord says, “If they had stood in My counsel and heard My words, then they would have turned My people away from their wicked practices” (Jer. 23:22).
Any who are willing to follow after Christ the Lord must be, in some way, willing to climb the stairs of Gabbatha and stand with Him as the deafening cry rings out on all sides from the mob, “Crucify Him,” Crucify them!
Those who speak from this fallen world will stand with the blinded masses, who seek to preserve their place. They will desire to receive Barabbas instead of Christ Jesus. They will urge people to exclaim, “We have no king but Caesar” (Jn. 19:16)! We have only the darkness of the fallen world to guide us and we desire not the Light of eternity! Those who long to preserve earthly prestige and status will always cry out for Barabbas. Let us not forget that it was not so much the Romans who called for Barabbas but those who were to be of the children of Israel.
“You will know them by their fruits” (Matt. 7:20).
“Look to yourselves, that we do not lose those things we worked for, but that we may receive a full reward” (2 Jn. vs. 8)
