Three explosions struck Nord Stream 1 and 2 on Monday and Tuesday, resulting in what experts say may be irreparable damage to the subsea pipelines running through the Baltic Sea from Russia into Germany.
The first explosion took place Monday, targeting Nord Stream 2, a pipeline that is not currently operational. Surrounding countries recorded a 1.8 magnitude earthquake and a sudden drop in the pipe’s pressure indicating a leak. The second and third explosions detonated approximately 17 hours later targeting Nord Stream 1, which has been shipping gas from Russia into Europe since 2011, but has been operating at a diminished capacity since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
According to Tagesspiegel, “German security authorities assume that the three tubes of the Baltic Sea pipeline Nord Stream 1 and 2 will be forever unusable after alleged acts of sabotage. If they are not repaired quickly, a lot of salt water will run in and corrode the pipelines, the Tagesspiegel learned from government circles.”
Due to the level of sophistication of the attacks, which took place at a depth of 70-80 meters (230-260 ft) below sea level, governments and experts have insisted that the sabotage was likely carried out by a state actor.
Although immense speculation has ensued regarding which country carried out the explosions, Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen underscored that “there is no information indicating who could be behind” the sabotage.
The finger has been pointed in various directions, primarily at Russia, Ukraine, and the United States. Many have noted comments made by President Joe Biden this past February in which he promised Russia that if the country were to invade Ukraine, “there will be no longer a Nord Stream 2. We will bring an end to it.”
The Daily Wire reported that “in June, the U.S. Navy joined other NATO members for BALTOPS 22, a series of maritime exercises in the Baltic Sea near the Danish island of Bornholm — the location of the Nord Stream pipeline leaks. Among other initiatives, scientists from five nations tested unmanned underwater mine hunting technology.”
The United Nations Security Council is set to convene on Friday to discuss damage to the Nord Stream pipelines.
The attack on the Nord Stream pipelines has plunged Europe into an even more desperate energy situation with winter fast approaching.
Amir Tsarfati, the Founder and President of Behold Israel, noted that the European Union, which has been looking for alternatives to Russian energy since the country’s forces moved in on Ukraine, signed a historic deal with Israel last June “to export natural gas through the year 2050.”
This development is Biblically significant when we consider a future war, prophetically described in Ezekiel 38-39. According to Scripture, the leader of Russia will “think an evil thought” and decide to take a coalition of nations, including Iran and Turkey, to invade the nation of Israel from the north (Ezekiel 38:10-12). The purpose of this invasion is to “take a spoil” of Israel’s prosperity (Ezekiel 38:12-13).
“There is a search for energy sources other than Russia,” Tsarfati explained. “This has opened the door for Israel to become ‘the darling of Europe’ with its massive gas fields. In the midst of these monumental shifts, we see these three leaders of collapsing economies – Putin, Erdogan, and Raisi – coming together once again to join their interests. To these countries, Israel will look more and more like the answer to their monetary woes. This is exactly the situation that Scripture spells out! Ezekiel 38 is a war of financial gains and economic interests, and to these nations Israel looks ripe for the picking. We best keep our eyes to the skies; Jesus is coming soon!”
WORLDVIEW w/ Amir Tsarfati: Falling Into The Hands Of Israel
Sunday evening marked the beginning of Rosh HaShanah (The Feast of Trumpets) for Jews around the world. Rosh HaShanah is the first of the fall festivals, which will find its ultimate fulfillment when Jesus returns to deliver the remnant of the Jews at the end of the tribulation. The site of tens of thousands of Jews at the Western Wall for the blowing of the shofar was quite stunning.
According to at least one source, Russia has plans to recruit approximately 1.2 million new soldiers – a drastic increase from the 300,000 initially reported. A source in Russia has claimed that a state of war will be declared in Russia in early October. No one likes to talk about it, but given the expanding involvement of Scandinavian countries in this conflict, this is slowly evolving into another world war.
Furthermore, Russia is dealing with a massive problem following the explosion of its primary oil pipelines that run to Europe – Nord Streams 1 & 2. These lines feed from Russia to Europe under the Baltic Sea. While there are several opinions concerning who is responsible, no clear answer has been revealed. Regardless, Europe’s need for oil is now likely going to be inherited by Israel. Did you read what I just said? One of Russia’s primary means of international income is now likely falling into the hands of Israel! I strongly encourage you to view my latest Breaking News segment on this topic.
Iran continues to deal with its own internal problems as the people push back against the corrupt regime. Tragically, the regime doesn’t think twice about killing its own people participating in the protests. Twenty-year-old female, Hadis Najafi, was shot six times and killed over the weekend simply for protesting against the corrupt leadership. Don’t take your freedom for granted.
The Ezekiel 38 coalition is continuing to align itself as Russian soldiers are spending time in Iran receiving training for operating drones. As I mentioned above, Russia has been using Iranian drones in its assault on Ukraine.
Turkey is also imploding, as the lira has hit a new all-time low – 18.5 liras to 1 dollar. Let’s just say Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s standing with his people is not increasing.
