Please consult Part One in our previous Blog! The Israeli air strike against Russian made detection and destruction systems is a good example of the principle of the fantasy of the ultimate weapon, which will eventually end at the final great battle of Armageddon.
Revelation 16:16 – And he ga thered
them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.
Joel 3:9-17 – Proclaim ye this among the Gentiles; Prepare war, wake up the mighty men, let all the men of war draw near; let them come up: [10] Beat your plowshares into swords, and your pruninghooks into spears: let the weak say, I am strong. [11] Assemble yourselves, and come, all ye heathen, and gather yourselves together round about: thither cause thy mighty ones to come down, O Lord.
[12] Let the heathen be wakened, and come up to the valley of Jehoshaphat: for there will I sit to judge all the heathen round about. [13] Put ye in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe: come, get you down; for the press is full, the fats overflow; for their wickedness is great. [14] Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: for the day of the Lord is near in the valley of decision. [15] The sun and the moon shall be darkened, and the stars shall withdraw their shining.
[16] The Lord also shall roar out of Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem; and the heavens and the earth shall shake: but the Lord will be the hope of his people, and the strength of the children of Israel. [17] So shall ye know that I am the Lord your God dwelling in Zion, my holy mountain: then shall Jerusalem be holy, and there shall no strangers pass through her any more.
Isaiah 2:4 – And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against
nation, neither shall they learn war any more.

US, Russia dominate arms sales to developing countries
Associated Press, THE JERUSALEM POST
October 1, 2007
The United States and Russia dominate the trade in arms sales to
developing countries, controlling over half of the global market between them, according to a report by US congressional researchers.
The report found that orders for arms by developing countries fell between 2005 and 2006 by 13 percent to $40.3 billion (€28.3 billion), according to an annual report by the Congressional Research Service, a part of
the Library of Congress.
But the researchers attributed the decline to efforts by the some countries to integrate into their arsenals new weapons systems purchased in massive deals in earlier years.
The major West European suppliers
, France, Britain, Germany and Italy, posted a significant decline in global market share from over 34% of sales to developing countries in 2005 to just over 19% in 2006. The report said that those Western European countries have been gradually losing market share, but shot up the tables for a few years due to a small number of large deals.
In 2006, the United States agreed to $10.3 billion (€7.24 billion) in sales to developing countries, over 35% of the market, followed by Russia, at $8.1 billion (€5.69 billion). During a four year period ending in 2006, the two countries were responsible for over 56% of all deals.
Military rivals Pakistan and India topped the list as buyers, followed by Saudi Arabia and Venezuela.
More than 70% of all US deals in that period were with the Middle East, the report found.
Russia has maintained its Cold War commercial ties to India and China as the biggest supplier
of arms, while the United States continues to be Pakistan’s biggest supplier.
The report found that Russia has been trying to expand its client list, particularly to Southeast Asia and Latin America.
In 2006, Russia concluded billions of dollars in deals for tanks, fighter planes and other weapons with Venezuela, after abandoning the Latin market following the Cold War.
The report said that Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, who has sought to displace US influence in the region, has made clear that he wants more deals with Russia, drawing concern from Washington.
“There is a concern that such purchases could stimulate other states in the region to seek comparable weapons systems as a counterweight to Chavez’s military buildup,” the report said.
