Those of us submitted to Him, can glance backwards into the chapters of our life, and see God’s handwriting, His invisible hand on our rudder, and His will eminently at work.
I didn’t always know God. I was born into a starkly unbelieving family. But His presence and participation was manifest. Early on He drew me into an orbit that made me cognizant of Russia.. though it took decades to fully realize it.
Sometime in the 60’s, when I was 7 or 8, I first heard a melody play at my Aunt Elaine’s house in White Plains, NY. (Hear the >SONG) It had stayed with me a lifetime in the recesses of my mind. The hauntingly beautiful Russian song - ‘Meadowlands.’
In 1978 I took a Bible class in Syracuse NY. After graduation, I went home to my rental house, and the Lord Jesus Christ met me in the kitchen. He healed me, setting me free from 15 years of sickness and demonic possession1, (leftover from my wretched youth) and gave me instructions for life. His instructions for the now healthy gal? - ‘JOIN THE ARMY’! I did the very next day. Another step - as it turned out - towards Russia.
In the early 80’s I drove a NYC Taxi cab in a radio group called ‘XYZ’2, and became close friends with a Persian driver, Javad Ebrahimi. Javad later started a fancy product catalog, and hired me, as his graphic art designer. It happens that shortly before, I’d seen a Russian painting that I fell in love with. I had the image put on the cover of the catalog’s first run copy. The painting - ‘March’ by Issac Ilyich Levitan’.
In 78’ when at the Lord’s direction I joined the army, (something I’d never have thought of on my own), my original wish was to go to DLI (The Defense Language Institute) and study languages - an early passion of mine. But the recruiter talked me out of it, and put me in Combat Medicine. I excelled3 in the specialty, but my heart was just not in it. So, in 1984 I separated from the Army.
Time passed and the idea of going to DLI was rekindled, but Clinton was cutting the budget, and people were taking early ‘out’s from the military. It was not an easy time to ‘re-up’. In 1991, after a 2 years of trying, I was finally accepted back. I joined a military intelligence unit in Danbury, Connecticut, that promised to get me orders to go to DLI.
Thus, one sunny morning in 1991, I was to go to Springfield MA to swear into the Army again. BEFORE I left Manhattan, the wall phone rang. (no cell phones then). It was a friend, Kathy Terrill. She was calling to let me know that Elena Whiteside - a beloved Bible teacher - would be in Ridgefield Connecticut on Sunday, to share the Scriptures. (I was still in the original Bible research ministry that got me saved in 78’)
I called the house in Ridgefield, where Elena was to teach. Ridgefield was halfway home to NYC, from MA, so I had decided to find a nearby hotel to stay at on Saturday night. (No sense returning to NY only to drive back up to CT on Sunday). A woman with a thick Russian accent answered the phone. Instead of recommending a hotel, she said ‘KOM - STAY vit us.. VE haf LOTS of XHROOM’.
After swearing in, I drove straight to Ridgefield, and met the person who had answered the phone - Elena’s mother Masha. (I did NOT know that ‘Elena’ was ‘Елена’ (YELENA) and was born in Magnitogorsk Russia many years before.)
(That’s Masha, with her Bible and notebook.. The way I’ll always remember her.)
Masha and I sat alone that night at the table in her kitchen, where she told me stories of her life in Russia - and her dramatic escape (in the Stalin years) with her American husband, John Scott, to the United States, where they settled in Ridgefield Connecticut.
I listened spellbound. Masha became one of my life’s most ‘interesting and beloved persons’. God meant for this to happen.
Masha taught me my first Russian - ‘Вот! Ваш карандаш!’ ‘VOT! Vash karandash!’.. means ‘Look! Your pencil!’ I can’t forget it - or her.
Essentially, meeting the great woman of God - Masha Scott, only 24 hours after having signed back into the Army to go to the LANGUAGE Institute in California, led to the inevitable conclusion - that I would choose to learn RUSSIAN4.
I went to DLI from 1992, to 1993; taking their first ever ‘TURBO Russian course’. A course so *intensive, we were learning 50 new words every 2 days.
*It was pretty grueling, but not so much the learning part - as the persecution. Heavy duty persecution from people that were positioned by the enemy, to get me to fail. They failed.
GRADUATION
To graduate military training your first year of Russian, you needed to achieve a 1+/1+/1+ in listening comprehension/ reading comprehension/ speaking comprehension. By the 2nd year of study - 2 or 2+ in each was acceptable. By an advanced or 3rd year of study - they wanted to see ‘3’s.
From a class of hundreds of students, from every agency and military type, CIA, DIA, FBI, Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, Special Forces, even Naval officers who’d had 4 years of college Russian, I managed to be the honor graduate. I had gotten 3/3/3 in Russian my first year. (Beating out all the Special Forces cretins.. (who were just a few of my persecutors in California - There were others).. that had tried to get me kicked out of school. Some of the cretins, as it turned out, themselves didn’t graduate).
So they sent me to Washington DC.
This.. all of this, was the Lord’s doing, and it was marvelous in His eyes.
WHY? You may wonder. Why would the Lord God bother get involved in my life to the point where He guided me to the Army, moved me to want to learn Russian, and then, commenced putting me into specific military specialties such as ‘Intelligence Analysis’, ‘Psychological Operations’, Combat Medicine, and “Interrogation’ training..? Why?
There can be no other reason than the one I understand to be the case…
TO HAVE A PRISM TO UNDERSTAND FROM HEAVEN’S STANDPOINT, WHAT IS HAPPENING HERE ON EARTH - and REPORT on it.
BECAUSE THE END TIME LIES ABOUT RUSSIA ARE WHAT ARE GOING TO LEAD TO THE END TIME WAR THAT DESTROYS THE EARTH, and PAVES THE WAY FOR THE ANTICHRIST TO RISE.
(AND TOO FEW ARE REPORTING THIS. EVEN FEWER WHO READ THIS WILL BOTHER TO SHARE IT. That’s why, in a nutshell, the Lord shares things with me.
Does it irk me? Only if I think about it. But the Lord encourages me and supports me daily with miracles, signs, and wonders too many to list.)
PEOPLE LIKE LINDSAY GRAHAM, BARAK OBAMA, VOLODYMYR ZELENSKY AND JOE BIDEN’S HANDLERS ARE PUSHING EVERY POWER ON EARTH INTO A CORNER - OUT OF WHICH THE ONLY RECOURSE IS NUCLEAR WAR.
There HAVE to be people on board with the Father, that can warn the world. Or the Word would be broken because it is written -
‘Surely the Lord God will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets.’ AMOS 3:7
ACCORDING TO HIS WORD - THE LORD GOD HAS TO WARN HIS PEOPLE. SO HE TAKES IT UPON HIMSELF TO SPEAK TO PEOPLE WHO WILL LISTEN. FOR ONE REASON ONLY → THAT THEY WILL TELL OTHERS! THESE PEOPLE THAT SPEAK FOR GOD ARE CALLED ‘PROPHETS’. SPEAKING FOR GOD.
(IN FACT - I just got finished yesterday, writing the crisis of the SILENCE of the pulpit in America. Which is most likely why heaven - being so desperate for Trumpet players, would recruit a lady. You cannot possibly imagine the patronizing, aggressively condescending reactions, rejection and ABUSE I have gotten for YEARS from my church peers over my work for the Lord. But IF I was moved by ‘likes’ or ‘dislikes’.. or deterred by discouragement - I would not be fit for the task.)
WITHOUT PROPHETS - THE WORD WOULD BE BROKEN - BECAUSE THEN PEOPLE WOULD HAVE A RIGHT TO SAY…
→”HOW WAS I TO KNOW?”
Romans 1:205 was also written along these lines, to clarify one critical point - In the Day of Judgement, men will be WITHOUT excuse.
Men have to have been TOLD, (in the Scriptures) and then WARNED (By His prophets) - before God in His righteousness can pass judgment upon them.
WE ALWAYS HAVE A CHOICE… because the INFORMATION IS ALWAYS AVAILBLE, though it MUST track with THE WORD of GOD.
‘Seek the LORD and live, or he will sweep through the tribes of Joseph like a fire; it will devour them, and Bethel will have no one to quench it.’ Amos 5:6
‘There are those who turn justice into bitterness and cast righteousness to the ground.’ Amos 5:7
It is worth noting here, that the Lord did say of our day that it would be earmarked by FALSE PROPHETS. Indeed it has been shocking to see the sheer number of people who say ‘HE SAITH’ - when He did nothing of the kind.
(How to spot them? I’ll handle this in another post - but the endlessly repetitive mantra of the false prophets is WEALTH TRANSITION and ACQUISITION, or a COVENANT with America. Both completely unBiblical.
BACK TO RUSSIA and PUTIN -
I did go to Washington DC, and served honorably with the Defense POW/MIA Office on the Russian Task Forces’ Korea Desk. God was involved here too.. He led me to originate a Defense Department program of visiting Korean War POW veteran reunions around the USA, and interviewing the vets6. That’s where I first met Johnny Johnson. The man told me that I saved his life. You can read the story HERE: (Johnson stayed in touch with me for the rest of his life. But the point is that everywhere -the good hand of the Lord was upon me and ‘directing my paths.)
I served with DPMO in the 90’s when (US appointed) Boris Yeltsin was president of Russia. We went back & forth to Moscow for Plenaries. In the process I Learned more and more about Russia, the Christian nature of their language and culture - and witnessed FIRST HAND the atrocities born on them by the Western occupants. Imagine buying matches from the elderly, standing on street corners, selling whatever they could .. to survive. That was the Yeltsin years in Russia. (Too long a story to delve into here, but Russia WAS in dreadful condition during his 10 year presidency, until Yeltsin resigned and positioned Vladimir Putin to replace him. I have long mused that Yeltsin’s predilection for alcohol was his way of zoning out of perceiving what his Western handlers were doing to Russia. In the 90’s the place was a mess. I am working on a post about all this. DO YOU HAVE TO KNOW? Well, saint, the reason to know is because the same template is being applied right now in the USA.. the revolution will be followed by the extreme poverty, abject corruption, and iron chains.7)
What ultimately came out of it, was a well honed prism from which to understand the man **Putin, and the nation Russia - that the West does not know, nor apparently care to know, that the Church in the West does not know, nor apparently care to know8, as well as the integrity of the Russian president who has campaigned for peace with the West since his assuming the office of president in 2000.
**The Scripture says we cannot judge a man without first hearing him (John 7:51)
HOW MANY OF YOU HAVE TAKEN THE TIME TO HEAR PUTIN’S SPEECHES? HIS PLEAS FOR PEACE? HAD YOU LISTENED TO HIM SPEAK BEFORE THE MUNICH SECURITY CONFERENCE IN 2007? A REMARKABLE SPEECH. (You can read HERE - or listen HERE.)
(It doesn’t matter if you don’t speak Russian. His speeches appear with subtitles in English.)
But do you judge him by the war in Ukraine?
Do you know when it started? Do you know who cast the first bomb?
Ok, rather than this go on forever.. I will finish now by saying the West is going to be successful in their bid to ratchet the war to a nuclear and worldwide engagement. The question is not ‘if’ but ‘when’ - since this is in the Bible.
The problem obviously is that it will not go well for the West. (Scripture says so). But this is an involved topic for another post.
Your job is to stop listening to the news, and start looking for the voice of the Lord. Which will be made next to impossible if you refuse to stop watching television (which rewires the brain to inure it to the voice of the enemy, but not the Lord.)
The ONLY way to train yourself to hear Him, is to meditate DAILY on the Scriptures.. read them, and write down the things he shows you. You will learn to hear him. FOR ONE THING, because you will CATCH the counterfeits. Prophesies ALWAYS need to track with something HE HATH SAID - or they’re a lie.
THUS:
I will continue to fill you in with as much as the Lord shows me it’s time to report. HOWEVER, your job to CHECK what I say, or anyone else that you choose to listen to, by the BOOK. If it is WRITTEN and is being interpreted correctly, the Holy Spirit will confirm it. Only then you can consider anything to be ESTABLISHED TRUTH.
NOTHING THAT A MAN SAYS THAT IS NOT WRITTEN IS TRUE. FOR THE END IS TOLD FROM THE BEGINNING. (Isaiah 46:10) IF IT WILL HAPPEN, IT’S IN THE BOOK.
Time is running out.. The Midnight Hour is fast approaching.
I had been on full scholarship at Syracuse University, but dropped out after just 2 years for my illnesses.
The night of the major East Coast Blizzard of April 6th, 1982, I was driving my taxi, when the Lord spoke to me (Important point for an urgent upcoming post.), and led me to find a man (Walter Rhodes) who was buried in the snow. I had the privilege of saving his life.
In 1979 I graduated Fort Sam Houston Texas, Army Medical Corps intensive Combat Medic training, as the honor graduate of 355 medical students.
I had scored so high on the DLAB (Defense Language Aptitude Batter) that I was entitled to pick any language I wished. You need an 80 or better for easy languages., and at least 100 for Korean, Chinese, Arabic, and Russian. I scored 132, and picked Russian.
Points 1,2,3 above - to continue the illustration of how the Lord God was working with me through it all. There is an ongoing mission that I’ll only complete when the Lord returns for His Church.
‘For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse.’ Romans 1:20
DPMO - (newly renamed DPAA (Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency) continued to employ my program long after my orders ended.
I have watched the fake prophets ramble on at length about how GOD LOVES America., and will guard His Covenant with America. None of this is in the Bible, it is a false sense of security for American Christians who continue to sleep walk, never prodding themselves to put on sackcloth and ashes for our crimes against humanity - which harvest is in the offing.
All these ministries that climbed on board to ‘HELP UKRAINE’, were dead silent while Ukraine was bombing Russian civilians in her eastern tier.
