Russia and India confirm new military and nuclear agreements

RAHUL BEDI in New Delhi

RUSSIA AND India have confirmed their long-awaited contract to jointly develop a fifth-generation fighter aircraft in a deal estimated at about $35 billion (€26.7 billion). This is alongside an agreement to augment capacity at an Indian nuclear power complex under construction with Moscow’s help.

The military and nuclear pacts, signed yesterday during Russian president Dmitry Medvedev’s two- day visit to New Delhi, are aimed at bringing the two allies closer, while it is proposed to double bilateral trade by 2015 to $20 billion…Nearly 70 per cent of India’s military hardware has been sourced via Moscow…http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/world/2010/1222/1224286073891.html

This is a fairly big military project.

Bible prophecy suggests that Russia will cooperate in the end with China and India. And big deals like this one are likely one more step to their fulfillment.

Less than two weeks ago, LCG reported:

India, China and Russia Increase Cooperation. Last month, Indian, Russian and Chinese officials met in central China to conduct talks aimed at increasing the cooperation between the three nations–two of which are the world’s most populous nations (India and China encompass more than 2 billion people). At the talks, officials promised “to step up cooperation in trade, energy and geopolitical affairs including climate change,” as well as “energy, high-tech sectors, innovation, aerospace, cultural exchanges and disaster relief.” A communiqué from the meeting noted that the three nations plan to increase “cooperation on international and regional issues… but stressed that such cooperation would not target ‘any other country’.” China and Russia are members of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation, a body organized as an alternative to U.S.-led efforts. India is an observer to this body (Agence France-Presse, November 15, 2010). Increasing cooperation between these three nations is evident. Russia has already provided China with navy vessels and maintains a contract for more. Bible prophecies reveal that at the end of the age, just before the return of Jesus Christ, a powerful army of 200 million men will come from north and east of Jerusalem and cause massive destruction on this earth (Daniel 11:44-45; Revelation 9:13-21). Only India, China and Russia appear to have the military technology, the manpower and the funds to support such an army. The deepening relationship between these three nations certainly bears watching—in terms of Bible prophecy (World Ahead Weekly Update, LCG. December 09, 2010).

A combination of military deals, aircraft carriers, population, and technology will come together enough to get the “kings of the east” and the one from “the far north” to cooperate to fulfill Daniel 11:44-45; Revelation 9:13-21. More and more news events are aligning toward the fulfillment of Bible prophecy.
