Potential bailout lurks for European Union

The almost certain Russian bailout of the EU found in the article below is part of the preparations for the fulfillment of the following excerpt from the vision posted below: 

"The angel of the Lord also told me, "I have blessed this country (USA) because of the Jewish people who are in this country (The Jews in the USA provided funding to start the nation of Israel after WW II). I have seven million Jews in this country, but they do not want to recognize the Lord. They didn't want to thank God for the blessing they received in this country." "Israel doesn't want to recognize Jesus Christ. They put their faith in the Jewish people in America. But, when America burns, the Lord will raise China, Japan, and other nations to go against the Russians. They will beat the Russians and push them all the way to the gates of Paris.

Over there they will make a treaty, and appoint the Russians as their leaders. They will then unite against Israel." "When Israel realizes she does not have the strength of America behind her, she will be frightened. That's when she will turn to the Messiah for deliverance. That's when the Messiah will come. Then, the church will meet Jesus in the air, and he will bring them back with Him to the Mount of Olives. At that time, the battle of Armageddon will be fought."

End of excerpt

I would like to point out that this excerpt follows the same sequence found in Rev 16 thru 19. Rev 16 - 18 is the judgment of Babylon the Great, which is the USA, which according to Rev 16 takes place while the nations are gathering to fight against Israel at Har-magedon,  Rev 19:7, denotes the resurrection which takes place just after the USA is judged; The rest of Rev 19 pertains to the battle of Har-magedon, when Jesus and the saints return after the wedding feast in heaven and Jesus disposes of the Antichrist and his armies and sets up His reign over the earth from Jerusalem for a thousand years.

Potential bailout lurks for European Union

See who has $1 trillion now and wants to buy influence

By F. Michael Maloof

WASHINGTON – As Europe's tumultuous economic gyrations are sending ripples throughout the world economy, some analysts believe it is the beginning of the end of the euro and even the European Union.

However, one non-European outsider who is playing coy for now ultimately may intervene to provide cash-starved Europe with the bailout money it needs, and gain major political leverage in the process.

European leaders have been scampering to persuade Beijing that it needs help, but the Chinese have imposed a large number of conditions to ensure that their investment would be protected and there could be difficulties convincing the Chinese people to provide the tens of billions of dollars needed for bailout help.

The Chinese are interested primarily in some high technology companies to buy, but European leaders are more interested in the Chinese investing in European bonds, an idea that the Chinese are meeting with reluctance.

So, that country isn't China, at least not for now.

Analysts, however, see another country willing to invest in critical European infrastructure. That country is Russia, and European leaders are all too willing to accommodate Moscow if it helps the European Union survive.

Thanks to ever-increasing oil prices that it charges in Europe, the Kremlin is prepared to provide the needed capital with fewer strings attached than Beijing.

While European leaders such as French President Nicolas Sarkozy and German Chancellor Angela Merkel have been receiving all the publicity for dealing with the current economic crisis at the current G-20 economic summit, Russian President Dmitri Medvedev has been less visible publicly but much sought after behind the scenes.

U.S. President Barack Obama also is at the G-20 summit, but the attention is far less on him than on Medvedev, since the Europeans know the United States doesn't have the bailout money. In hedging his bets, however, Sarkozy still is catering to Obama, saying that the Europeans "need the leadership of Barack Obama."

While Obama has been insisting that the EU has all the resources it needs to resolve the debt problems of the various European countries, Medvedev has been making a number of trips to France and Germany, two of the European heavyweights who have to come up with a working formula to rescue the euro and, in the process, save the EU from potential demise.

For now, the Greek crisis, while still looming large, may have had a slight reprieve, if only temporary, as a result of Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou deciding not to subject any bailout to a referendum, as he threatened to do.

Such an approach would have taken a few more months and generated continued financial uncertainty in which the Greek people probably would have turned down any further European loans anyway, given the already harsh austere economic requirements to which they are being subjected for loans already made.

While Medvedev is expressing concern what adverse impact the European financial crisis can have on the Russian economy, analysts say he is seeing the situation as a chance to gain further political leverage in Europe.

Moscow has been somewhat concerned with what is happening in Europe, since it has been looking for tens of billions of dollars of European investment over the next few years for its own modernization and privatization plans, according to analysts.

"For the past few years, the Kremlin has made several moves meant to keep the Europeans from acting as a unified entity against Russian interests," according to a new report by Stratfor Global Intelligence.

"Referred to as the 'chaos campaign,' these initiatives have fractured the Europeans' view of Russia – Central European countries and the heavyweight countries in Western Europe have differing opinions on whether or not Russia poses a threat," the report said.

"These disagreements already have affected institutions like NATO, and Russia is now trying to create a similar effect by using the financial crisis as its platform," it said.

To carry out this effort, Moscow wants to give the appearance of stability amid Europe's chaos. It is attempting to do this by appearing to be a strong economic power, even though Russia has many internal economic problems of its own.

However, Russia is "still powerful and stable and has a lot of cash on hand," the Stratfor report said. While Germany and Europe proper see this as an opportunity, the Central European countries, particularly the Czech Republic once called Czechoslovakia and Poland which once formed part of the Soviet Union appear to be more intimidated by what they see as a resurgent Russia and a potential threat.

Russia's designs on Europe, however, pose less of a potential military threat and more of a plan to purchase European assets, which are relatively cheap right now. The Russians are buying up companies throughout Europe that have hit economic hard times during the crisis, particularly in Greece and Italy.

In these and other countries, the Russians are focusing on banks and energy companies, as well as buying into ports and airports. In Greece, for example, the Russians want to buy Athens International Airport.

Such Russian buy-ins are regarded as strategic assets that analysts say will give Moscow the political leverage it needs over Europe in the future.

While Moscow already has leverage over Europe through the energy it supplies, it now sees an opportunity to increase that leverage by purchasing oil terminals, utilities providers and natural gas companies.

By rescuing many European companies which otherwise would have closed due to the economic crisis, Moscow also is looking to invite them to invest in Russia, particularly companies involved in transportation, energy, telecommunications and those industries which can help contribute to Russia's military modernization, a massive buildup on which it recently has embarked.

Moscow also is in a position to offer cash toward the European bailout, since Germany had opposed any further support for the European Central Bank to handle other countries' debt, called sovereign debt, particularly for such southern European countries as Greece, Italy and Spain.

This refusal to provide any further bailout then raised concerns that northern Europe was discriminating against countries in the south, prompting speculation that it was only a matter of time before the EU broke up.

However, Russia has more than a half trillion dollars in currency reserves and another half trillion dollars in various other funds.

Analysts say that given such reserves, Russia can help with a bailout without affecting its own economy. It intends to use the cash for political leverage and thus isn't as much concerned about financial losses as other investors might be.

To the U.S., so much Russian involvement in Europe's infrastructure poses a potential national security problem reminiscent of the concerns in the early 1980s when Europe agreed over U.S. objections to the construction of pipelines to receive Russian oil and natural gas.

That move began to give Moscow the political leverage on which it now is building with additional acquisitions.

Analysts say that such Russian engagement in European infrastructure could portend more difficulties in the years ahead for the survival of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.

In being preoccupied with looking for solutions to its financial crisis, analysts say that Europeans will not realize until after the crisis calms down as to just what gains the Russians made in their economies to give them the political leverage they seek.

By then, it may be too late.

America will Burn

 

A vision of Dumitru Duduman

 

September, 1984

 

Late one night, I could not sleep; the children were sleeping on the luggage. My wife and daughter were crying, I went outside and walked around. I didn't want them to see me cry. I walked around the building, crying and saying, "God! Why did you punish me? Why did you bring me into this country? I can't understand anybody. If I try to ask anybody anything, all I hear is, "I don't know."

 

I stopped in front of the apartment and sat on a large rock. Suddenly a bright light came toward me. I jumped to my feet because it looked as if a car was coming directly at me, attempting to run me down! I thought the Romanian Secret Police had tracked me to America, and now they were trying to kill me. But it wasn't a car at all. As the light approached, it surrounded me. From the light I heard the same voice that I had heard so many times in prison.

 

He said "Dumitru, why are you so despaired?" I said, "Why did you punish me? Why did you bring me to this country? I have nowhere to lay my head down. I can't understand anybody." He said, "Dumitru, didn't I tell you I am here with you, also? I brought you to this country because this country will burn." I said, 'then why did you bring me here to burn? Why didn't you let me die in my own country? You should have let me die in jail in Romania! He said, "Dumitru, have patience so I can tell you. Get on this." I got on something next to him. I don't know what it was. I also know that I was not asleep. It was not a dream. It was not a vision. I was awake just as I am now.

 

He showed me all of California and said, "This is Sodom and Gomorrah! All of this, in one day it will burn! Its sin has reached the Holy One." Then he took me to Las Vegas. "This is Sodom and Gomorrah. In one day it will burn." Then he showed me the state of New York. "Do you know what this is?" he asked. I said, "No." He said "This is New York. This is Sodom and Gomorrah! In one day it will burn." Then he showed me all of Florida, "This is Florida." he said. "This is Sodom and Gomorrah! In one day it will burn."

 

Then he took me back home to the rock where we had begun. "IN ONE DAY IT WILL BURN! All of this I have shown you" - I said, "How will it burn?" He said, "Remember what I am telling you, because you will go on television, on the radio and in churches. You must yell with a loud voice. Do not be afraid, because I will be with you." I said, "How will I be able to go? Who knows me here in America? I don't know anybody here." He said, "Don't worry yourself. I will go before you. I will do a lot of healing in the American churches and I will open the doors for you. But do not say anything else besides what I tell you. This country will burn!"

 

I said, "What will you do with the church?" He said, "I want to save the church, but the churches have forsaken me." I said, "How did they forsake you?" He said, "The people praise themselves. The honor that the people are supposed to give Jesus Christ, they take upon themselves. In the churches there are divorces. There is adultery in the churches. There are homosexuals in the churches. There is abortion in the churches and all other sins that are possible.

 

Because of all the sin, I have left some of the churches. You must yell in a loud voice that they must put an end to their sinning. They must turn toward the Lord. The Lord never gets tired of forgiving. They must draw close to the Lord, and live a clean life. If they have sinned until now, they must put an end to it, and start a new life as the Bible tells them to live."

 

I said, "How will America burn?" America is the most powerful country in this world. Why did you bring us here to burn? Why didn't you at least let us die where ALL the Dudumans have died?"

 

He said, "Remember this, Dumitru. The Russian spies have discovered where the nuclear warehouses are in America. When the Americans will think that it is peace and safety - from the middle of the country, some of the people will start fighting against the government. The government will be busy with internal problems. Then from the ocean, from Cuba, Nicaragua, Mexico,,.." (He told me two other countries, but I didn't remember what they were.) "...they will bomb the nuclear warehouses. When they explode, America will burn!"

 

"What will you do with the Church of the Lord? How will you save the ones that will turn toward you?" I asked. He said, "Tell them this: how I saved the three young ones from the furnace of fire, and how I saved Daniel in the lions den, is the same way I will save them."

 

The angel of the Lord also told me, "I have blessed this country because of the Jewish people who are in this country. I have seven million Jews in this country, but they do not want to recognize the Lord. They didn't want to thank God for the blessing they received in this country." "Israel doesn't want to recognize Jesus Christ. They put their faith in the Jewish people in America. But, when America burns, the Lord will raise China, Japan, and other nations to go against the Russians. They will beat the Russians and push them all the way to the gates of Paris.

 

Over there they will make a treaty, and appoint the Russians as their leaders. They will then unite against Israel." "When Israel realizes she does not have the strength of America behind her, she will be frightened. That's when she will turn to the Messiah for deliverance. That's when the Messiah will come. Then, the church will meet Jesus in the air, and he will bring them back with Him to the Mount of Olives. At that time, the battle of Armageddon will be fought."

 

When I heard all of this I said, "if you are truly the angel of the Lord, and everything you have told me is true, then all you have said must be written in the Bible." He said, "Tell everyone to read from Jeremiah 51:8-15, Revelation chapter 18, and Zechariah chapter 14, where Christ fights against those who possess the earth. After His victory," the angel said, "there will be one flock and one Shepherd. There will be no need for light. The Lamb of God will be the Light. There will be no sickness, no tears, and no deaths. There will only be eternal joy and God will be the ruler. There will be only one language. Only one song. And no need for a translator! .... And, Dumitru," he continued, "a word of warning. If you keep anything from the American people that you are told, I will punish you severely." "How will I know that this is for real -that it will really happen?" I asked. "As a sign that I have spoken to you, tomorrow before you wake, I will send someone to bring you a bed, and at noon I will send you a car and a bucket of honey. After which I will send someone to pay your rent." Then the angel left
