ENTER the BIRTH PANGS of the LAST DAYS

This ex-general is explaining the genius or Ukrainian military strategy, disregarding Russia just annexed 4 ex-USSR territories right in the middle of the battle field. Missing the point that Russia occupied just about EVERY nuclear plant in Ukraine to drain their plutonium and prevent any nuclear capability in the foreseeable future.
Russia’s goal: to control territorially the geopolitical strip of the Orient and the Silkroad (from Russia to Israel and Turkey to China)
Russia will try to accomplish that by using Israel’s trade ports at the Mediterranean, meanwhile taking over Palestine, Azerbaijani, Armenia, Syria, Lebanon and possibly parts from Iran and Iraq to establish a geopolitical strip of world domination by controlling the Middle East the Silkroad tread routs.

Dan Anthony Oscar Valdez Philip Williams Duane L Burgess John Mushenhouse Reasons for a Pre-Millennial Second Coming.
(1) The Antichrist, who is confessed on all sides to be preMillennial, is destroyed with the brightness of Christ’s coming (19:11-21; 2 Thess. 2:8). This fixes His coming as pre-Millennial.
(2) The coming of Christ is “immediately after the tribulation,” Matt. 24:27-31. The tribulation is just before the Millennium, Matt. 24:15-31; Zech. 14.
(3) When Christ comes He will separate the tares from the wheat, but, as the Millennium is after this, He must come before the Millennium, Matt. 13:40-43.
(4) The same conditions existing in the days of Lot and Noah will be existent when Christ comes, Matt. 24:37-51; Luke 17:2237; 2 Tim. 3; 4:1-3; 2 Pet. 3:2-5. These passages certainly are out of harmony with post- Millennialism.
(6) The resurrections prove a pre-Millennial coming, as only the righteous will be raised before the Millennium, for they are to live and reign with Him during the Millennium. The wicked dead will not be raised until after the Millennium (Rev. 20:1-15).
(7) When Christ comes, Satan is to be bound, and since he is to be bound during the Millennium, there can be no Millennium until Christ comes (Rev. 20:1-7).
(8) The Jews will be restored and regathered when Christ comes (Matt. 24:31) and, as they are in a state of restoration during the Millennium, Christ must first come before the Millennium, Ezek. 36:24-28; Isa. 11:10-16.
The time of His second coming to earth, then, is immediately after Daniel’s Seventieth Week and at the beginning of the Millennium (Rev. 19:11-21; Zech. 14; Matt. 24:27-31). It takes place at the beginning of “the day of the Lord” as is clear in all the passages in which this expression is found. The day of the Lord never refers to the rapture, for it does not begin until after that event. Paul does not correct the early Christians for expecting the rapture of the Church but he does for expecting “the day of the Lord,” 1 Thess. 5:1-11; 2 Thess. 2:1-12.
