It's no longer just about Israel these words are being said, now about the Ukraine, Crimea, Russian actions.
Canadian prime minister warns Germans that Cold War mentality poses danger

Thanks Regina,

How very true, its no longer just about Israel but Ukrainian, Crimea, as well. Sad to say but many more countries will be involved shortly down the road, which will be threaten and their peace and security which is on their minds, will be undermined, by those whom come to seize, kill & destroy. The Holy Scriptures, are being fulfilled before our very eyes, and we as Christians, must keep our eyes totally focused on Jesus, and let nothing overwhelm us, no matter how terrible these times may seem. God is still in control, and He will be victorious in the end, along with His Saints.

Pray for the Peace of Israel, Pray for the Peace of Ukraine, Pray for the Peace of the World, and Pray for one another; until Jesus comes to take us home! For there will never be a true and lasting peace, until Jesus comes to set up His kingdom here on earth.

Maranatha!

God Bless,

Valerie

Stephen Harper warns Germany about Russia
Canadian prime minister warns Germans that Cold War mentality poses danger

Prime Minister Stephen Harper issued a solemn warning to Germans about Russia on Wednesday, reminding them of the dangers posed by a leader with a Cold War mentality who has brazenly seized territory from a weaker neighbour.

"As unfortunate as it sounds, it's increasingly apparent to me that the Cold War has never left Vladimir Putin's mind; I think he still thinks in those terms," Harper said on the eve of his meeting with German Chancellor Angela Merkel.

"We simply, as a world, cannot afford the risk of Europe going back to being a continent where people seize territory, where they make claims on neighbouring countries, where the bigger military powers are prepared to invade their neighbours or carve off pieces."

Germans know this better than anyone, Harper suggested.

"This is a world we cannot go back to — I know the feeling about that in Germany particularly. We cannot go back to this. It represents an enormous long-term threat to peace and security."

The prime minister's comments were similar to those made a short time later by U.S. President Barack Obama, also in Europe after attending the Nuclear Security Summit held in The Hague earlier this week.

'Bully'

Obama, Harper and the five other G7 leaders — those of Britain, Germany, Japan, France and Italy — held an emergency meeting on the sidelines of the nuclear summit. They emerged to effectively boot Russia out of the G8 as retaliation for its annexation of Ukraine's Crimea peninsula shortly after the pro-Western uprising in Kyiv last month.

"Once again we are confronted with the belief among some that bigger nations can bully smaller ones to get their way," Obama said in Brussels.

"So I come here today to insist that we must never take for granted the progress that has been won here in Europe and advanced around the world. Because the contest of ideas continues, for your generation, and that's what is at stake in Ukraine today."

A senior European diplomat suggested Wednesday that Harper's comments about Putin, made during a question-and-answer session with business leaders in Munich, are accurate.

The Russian president has never accepted the disintegration of the former Soviet bloc and views the uprising as "the second time Russia lost Ukraine," said the official, speaking on condition of anonymity because he wasn't authorized to brief the media.
