Colossal Battle-Ready Naval Power
“The Big Stick,’ USS Theodore Roosevelt.
Following the Palestinian Hamas terrorist group attack on Israel from Gaza on October 7 and the Israeli Defense Force (IDF) response, the international war-tension has begun rising throughout the Mideast. On October 18, Hezbollah strike forces started shelling the small 900-soldier American military base in Syria, and several American bases in Iraq with about 2,500 American military personnel. Hezbollah, a proxy for Iran, was protesting U.S. support for Israel in the Gaza-Israeli conflict. On October 27, the U.S. responded with F-16 and F-15 aircraft strikes against Hezbollah forces in Syria and Iraq. Hezbollah has also been threatening the Golan Heights area of northern Israel with missile attacks. Hezbollah, which is a semi-military Shia Islamic terrorist group sponsored by Iran, is reputed to have 25,000 trained fighters and another 25,000 trained reserves. They may have as many as 145,000 mortars, 65,000 short-range missiles, and 5,000 UAV-drones.

End-Times Geography: Specific or Symbolic?
Ezekiel was a priest and prophet of ancient Israel. He was born in Israel about 622 BC and died circa 570 BC in Babylon during the Babylonian captivity. He began to prophesy about 593 BC and foretold the siege of Jerusalem as God’s judgement. The siege actually occurred beginning about 588 BC. About 585 BC, in Ezekiel 37, God revealed to him that He would return the Jews to Israel. Also in 585 BC, in Ezekiel 38 and 39, he further prophesized a great future battle and God’s judgement on Israel’s enemies. The Book of Revelation is filled with references to Ezekiel. In fact, much of Revelation parallels Ezekiel.

Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood
At dawn on Saturday, October 7, Israeli time, according to the Israeli Defense Force (IDF), more than 2,200 modern rockets were launched from the Palestinian Gaza strip along the Mediterranean Sea targeting civilian and military targets in Israel. The Hamas terrorists responsible claimed to have launched over 5,000 rockets. This was followed by over 2,500 Hamas infantry infiltrating into nearby civilian areas and slaughtering men, women, and children on the streets and in their homes. As many as 400 hostages may have been taken. This Hamas strike may have involved two years of planning and training. Where did they get the missiles?
Vladimir Putin’s Valdai Speech in Sochi

Ukraine, Russian Economy, Nukes
On October 5, Russian President Vladimir Putin addressed the annual Valdai Conference in Sochi. Sochi is the largest resort city in Russia and is located on the eastern shore of the Black Sea. The climate is almost subtropical but was the scene of the 2014 Winter Olympics. The greater urban population of Sochi is normally about 600,000 but over 7.0 million tourists are expected to visit there during 2023.
Putin began his speech talking about Russian civilizational values and the diversity of civilizational values around the world. According to Putin, the reality of the developing multi-polar international power structure is more conducive to freedom and economic development across the globe. He was critical of the United States in this, as he believes the United States is striving for single global economic and military hegemony and conducting its foreign policy in an arrogant and bullying way. His speech was modest in length and gave way to a much longer question and answer session, which is the discussion format of the international Valdai Club.

Understanding the Firm Hand of God’s Love
“How Great Thou Art”
Stories of God’s Providence fill both the Old and New Testaments of the Bible. The Christian Doctrine of Providence has given much comfort and encouragement to God’s people and is closely connected to the Doctrine of God’s absolute Sovereignty over all creation. Christian author, speaker, and leader Jerry Bridges (1929-2016) defined the basic nature of God’s Providence, however, in a simple but beautiful and powerful sentence:
“God’ Providence is His constant care for and His absolute rule over all creation for His own glory and the good of his people.”
Bridges, a senior leader of the Navigators Christian Discipleship Ministry for many years, also gave a two-sentence description of the awesome comprehensiveness of God’s Providence:
“Nothing is too large or small to escape God’s governing hand. The spider building its web in the corner and Napoleon marching his army across Europe are both under God’s control.”
Mike Scruggs is the author of two books: The Un-Civil War: Shattering the Historical Myths; and Lessons from the Vietnam War: Truths the Media Never Told You, and over 600 articles on military history, national security, intelligent design, genealogical genetics, immigration, current political affairs, Islam, and the Middle East.
He holds a BS degree from the University of Georgia and an MBA from Stanford University. A former USAF intelligence officer and Air Commando, he is a decorated combat veteran of the Vietnam War, and holds the Distinguished Flying Cross, Purple Heart, and Air Medal. He is a retired First Vice President for a major national financial services firm and former Chairman of the Board of a classical Christian school.
