    Lately I have started taking vitamin d3 with vitamin k2 and feel the difference. It is supposed to be very helpful in its benefits for the immune system among other things and for helping the body to repair.

    And it’s not only China.

    As dire as this demographic catastrophe may be, it would be interesting to see a Christian revolution unfold silently in one of the countries that most strongly persecutes the Church. Imagine the impact if China had an economically active population made up mostly of Christians.

    Vitamins D3 is helpful for those in northern climates with long winters. It helps the immune system and has lots of other benefits.

    One of the areas where it becomes obvious how going outside the commandments, outside the natural order, has a negative effect. It is not always immediately recognisable, but here you can see how God's commandments have less to do with ‘you must not’ than with ‘this is good for you’. Modern sexual self-realisation is killing individuals and entire societies. At various levels, but also very directly.

    Most societies in the world are declining demographically, including Islamic ones. Even India, although it's population is still increasing and has overtaken China, is only running on the momentum created by previous decades. The only major exception is sub-Saharan Africa, into which Christianity has made great inroads in the last half-century or so.

    The world belongs to those who are there. Those who will be there will be those who love children.

    Russia has already had several negotiations with the West, firstly at the time of the fall of the Soviet Union and more recently with the Minsk and Minsk II Accords, all of which the West unilaterally broke. Angela Merkel is on record as saying that the latter accords were only made in order to buy time, so that the Ukraine would be in a stronger position to threaten Russia.

    It is difficult to blame Russia for distrusting such a nest of cynical vipers.

    I think that Russia is going to be left with little choice but to attack NATO. The prophecies support this possibility. The recent irresponsible, cynical and perilously dangerous attack on the Russian strategic bomber forces is illustrative of the existential threat faced by the Russians. What aggravates the war-crime further is that the bombers attacked were out in the open because of Russia's diligent honouring of the most recent nuclear anti-proliferation treaty. This will, of course, mark the end of such cooperation, making the world an even more dangerous place. It's hard to avoid attributing satanic motivations to those who devised this supremely cynical attack. It was organised from long before the advent of this US administration and even the Biden administration was quite a bit too cautious to attempt such a monstrous stunt. So, the guilty party is likely to be one answerable to no-one. I've read some commenters with a record of accuracy in these matters speculate about the involvement of the CIA and MI6. Personally, I'd put my money on Keir Starmer.

    The Russians have promised a response. Trump's reaction seems to indicate that he considers it understandable. The Russian intelligence services are reputed to be very efficient and can be reasonably expected to discover those responsible. The latter need to watch their backs.

    Yes. This is what the west wants, for reasons that are not entirely clear.

    I have often wondered if Ezekiel 38 refers to this.

    Ezekiel says “I will put hooks into your jaws, and I will bring you out “.

    This seems to suggest that Russia is unwilling to go to war but will be forced to do so.

    And, yes, this has been described in great detail in multiple prophetic insights.

    Ezekiel 38:1-39:29 ESV /

    The word of the Lord came to me: “Son of man, set your face toward Gog, of the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him and say, Thus says the Lord God: Behold, I am against you, O Gog, chief prince of Meshech and Tubal. And I will turn you about and put hooks into your jaws, and I will bring you out, and all your army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed in full armor, a great host, all of them with buckler and shield, wielding swords. Persia, Cush, and Put are with them, all of them with shield and helmet; ...

    This seems like the Fatima message (correct me if I am wrong here) wherein Russia will be the agent of chastisement.

    Precisely. My own references to prophecy consisted of those predicting an invasion that would be halted at Brittany. The message of Fatima appears to support and complement these multiple older prophecies.

    All the pieces are falling into place.

    Yes.
    It all seems to be lining up.
    And perhaps not in the way we might have thought years ago. Initially I felt Russia would, by stealth or otherwise, invade and be the aggressor. Yet it is the so-called 'christian' West that have been the underhanded, aggressor.
    God does indeed work in mysterious ways.

    Scholars have generally identified these regions with the following parts of the modern world:

    Tubal

    Turkey or Caucasus (southern Russia/Georgia)

    Possibly the ancient Tabal kingdom

    Cush

    Sudan, southern Egypt, or Ethiopia

    Associated with ancient Nubia

    Put

    Libya or Northwest Africa

    Possibly aligned with ancient Libyan tribes

    Persia is of course Iran

    Communism did come again. But in ways nobody could foresee 50 years ago.

    The great Italian philosopher, and orthodox Catholic, Augusto del Noce predicted it in the sixties. He said that the 'moderate' socialism that was developing at that time would finally be an even more toxic version of Marxism than the conventional communism that existed at the time in the Soviet bloc and China. He reasoned that this was due to this new form of communism lacking any transcendent component whatsoever; and that it would be wholly materialistic and utilitarian (he defined this transcendence as the communist aspiration for a better society-he rejected it completely, of course).

    Del Noce was correct, but perhaps didn't realise that mankind needs some kind of ideology to 'worship', so maybe that is why we see the materialistic utilitarianism of modern social democracy (= liberalism = centrist 'conservatism' = communism) being now complemented by 'woke' ideologies.

    It seems to me that what has been developing in the West is even more virulent even than that which is imposed by the Chinese Communist Party. Apparently, the Chinese are repelled by our homosexualism, transexualism and other perversions, nor are they obsessed with identity politics and DEI.

    I remember distinctly on that day before building 7 fell, the news was saying that the fire chief and owners of building 7 have decided to "pull" the building for safety. Pull means to detonate and bring it down. When you go back now and try to find that footage, it is long gone.

    Unfortunately, most Chinese of child-bearing age have abandoned the idea of having them, or at least of having more than one child.
