“Wolf Attack”

 - Russia -


(Eurasian wolf. Click for source.)
Having been chased by communist Russian snowmobile troops through a forest miles from the Siberian town of Medvedski, Sergey and his friends had, by God’s miraculous protection, been able to avoid capture and death. Now, the night had come and the Russian soldiers were still searching for them on snowmobiles through the dark forest. Two snowmobiles carrying two soldiers each had come out of the forest and had rapidly approached the Christians, but God had blinded the soldiers’ night-vision optics so that they did not see the group of six Christian fugitives. The snowmobiles had roared off into the Siberian night without paying any attention to the fugitives, and Sergey’s UTV with its attached trailer, and his blue Yamaha Sidewinder snowmobile.

Standing near the UTV and the blue snowmobile, the group had discussed God’s awesome power to deliver them from enemy bullets and grenades. As the friends began to think of having supper, a group of dark shapes began to move toward them through the snow-laden pine trees. In the light of the Christian’s LED flashlights, a pack of tawny-colored Eurasian wolves appeared. Suddenly, twelve vicious wolves broke off from the rest of the large pack and ran straight toward the Christians.

Sarah felt fear rush through her body and the urge to scream, but something kept her from opening her mouth as she watched the wolves charge toward her friends.

A demonic gleam seemed to appear in the wolves’ predatory eyes as they charged forward with exposed teeth. Their wide paws quietly thumped against the snow as they closed the distance. Some wind stirred the pines, sending showers of sparkling snow through the surreal air. Having jaws and teeth strong enough to take down male elks, the canine predators were a fearsome sight to behold. Vapor rose into the air from their hungry mouths and their amber eyes sparkled in the LED light.

One wolf was fast approaching Steven, and closing the distance to forty feet. He felt fear attacking him, but he gave it to God.

“I rebuke you in Jesus’ Name!” Steven shouted as he pointed a finger at the approaching wolf.

The creature continued to run, pounding the snow with its four paws. Thump. Thump. Thump. Thump. … Thump. Thump. Thump. Thump.

Something supernatural had started inside Steve when he first noticed the wolf pack in the dark, snowy forest. He knew that animals were supposed to be afraid of people, even if they were carnivorous animals.

(Winter night. From Pixabay. Free images.)
As Steven shouted those six words of rebuke--words which made no sense to the limited human mind--, the wolf began to slow its run to a walking pace. Then, it stopped in its tracks just twelve feet away from Steve. The other wolves slowed to a walk and came to a stop a few seconds later. They looked at Steve and the group with curiosity mixed with apprehension--a radically different set of feelings than their status just a moment ago. Amber wolf eyes studied the group for half a minute of tense silence. Sarah and a few of the men prayed while the predators sized them up. After what seemed to be a long time (due to the apprehension the group felt), the wolves finally turned around and suddenly sprinted across the snow toward the night-cloaked depths of the forest, where they vanished into the shadows.

Sarah, Steve’s wife, gasped. “I can’t believe what I just saw. Those vicious wolves just turned around and ran off as if they were afraid of us.”

“How did you do that?” Ivan, a new believer in Jesus, said.

“I remembered Luke 10:19,” Steve said.

“What does that say?” Ivan said, placing a hand on his brown mustache to wipe some snowflakes off it.

Steve said, “It says: ‘Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.’ Jesus taught us that nothing shall by any means hurt us, and that we have power over all the power of the enemy.”

“But, Steve, a wolf is just an animal,” Ivan said.

“Notice how Jesus included animals in the verse, though? Serpents. Scorpions. And, Jesus said ‘nothing shall by any means hurt you’.

“That reminds me of Mark 16:17-18,” Alexei, a red-bearded Russian, said. “In Mark 16:17-18, Jesus said: “[17] And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; [18] They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.’”

“Didn’t Paul, the apostle, get bitten by a poisonous snake and had no harmful effects from it?” Sergey said.

“That’s right,” Alexei said, grinning. “I’m pretty sure that in Acts 28, Paul was bitten by a poisonous snake while picking up wood for a fire on the island of Malta.* Yeah, and he had no harmful effects. The people of the island were certain that Paul would drop over dead, but when they saw him still standing, they were shocked. Some of the pagans of the island thought he was a supernatural ‘god,’ which is nonsense. It is Almighty God’s power which kept Paul from being harmed by the venom.”

[* The island of Malta was also called ‘Melita.’]

“Speaking of venom, why is it that communists both in Asia and Europe hate us Christians so much?” Ivan asked. “They’ve been hunting us through this forest as if we are rabid dogs.”

“The enemy, who is Satan himself, hates all people, but he especially hates Christians who are truly following God and His Word,” Alexei said. “The devil put it into the hearts of ungodly men to seek after and kill or capture Christians because the devil wants to stamp out the Gospel and remove God’s people.”

“I used to think,” Ivan said, “that non-conformist Christians were a cult or a weird religious group, but I have seen that God really works miracles through true Christians, and that Jesus Christ only is the Way, the Truth, and the Life, like He said in John 14:6. Christians have life in them and love. The world needs to receive God’s light and love.”

“God’s Word, the Bible, says that God is love in 1 John 4:16,” Jason, a 34-year-old American with short, brown stubble, said.

“But what about the wrath of God?” Ivan said. “Does the Bible speak of the wrath of God?”

“It does,” Jason said, “but we need to understand God’s wrath from the point of view of His love.”

“Hmm,” Ivan said. “What do you mean?”

Jason was holding a Bible in his hand, which he had removed from his pack. He removed his gloves and began flipping through the pages until he came to John chapter 3.

Then, he said: “It says in John 3:16-18: ‘[16] For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. [17] For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. [18] He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.’”

“So, if people know that God is calling out to them, but they refuse to believe on Jesus Christ, they are condemned,” Ivan said. “What about people who have never heard the Gospel before?”

(Learn more about the characters in this story here.)
“People who have never heard the Gospel will still know that God is calling out to them,” Jason said, “and that God is showing them that they need Him and that He is indeed the Creator of the Universe. If they seek Him, they will find Him, and He will reveal the Gospel to them. After all, Paul told the idolatrous Greeks in Athens this truth in Acts 17:27: ‘[27] That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us:’”

Jason continued: “After speaking to them about their idolatry, Paul says this in Acts 17:30-31: ‘[30] And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent: [31] Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead.’”

“So,” Ivan said, scratching his shaved chin, “Jesus will judge the world because they rejected Him? And, they rejected Him even though He continuously called out to them and pleaded with them, right?”

“That is right, Ivan,” Jason said. “In fact, Jesus told us in John 16:7-11 that the Holy Spirit’s role is to convict or reprove the world of sin, of righteousness, and of judgment. I know this verse by heart. Let me read it for you.”

Jason flipped through his Bible until he came to John chapter 16. Then, he said, “John 16:7-11 says: ‘[7] Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you. [8] And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: [9] Of sin, because they believe not on me; [10] Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more; [11] Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.’”

“Wow,” Ivan said as he thought about those words about the Holy Spirit.

“The Holy Spirit convicts or shows all the people of world that they need the righteousness of Jesus imputed to their personal account,” Jason said. “And, He convicts or shows the world that they have a sin nature, and that they will be judged according to their thoughts and actions.”

“What does impute mean? I’m not familiar with that word.” Ivan asked.

“It means to set to someone’s account or put onto someone’s account,” Jason said. “Jesus put onto our account His righteousness, after we received Him as our personal Savior and Lord. Our account had no righteousness before Jesus Christ’s righteousness was imputed to it.”

“That is amazing,” Ivan said.

“It would be like saying your credit card account shows that you are in debt by 15 billion rubles,” Jason said. “You can’t pay off the debt or even the monthly interest on the debt. So, when you trust in Jesus, He pays all of the debt and the interest for you. You have no money of your own to pay. His ‘money,’ or righteousness, was imputed to your account.”

“Praise the Lord,” Ivan said, looking up at the night sky. Snowflakes gently fluttered through the trees and settled on his face. Ivan brushed them off and prayed silently to his Creator, thanking Abba Father God for all the blessings God has freely given him through Jesus.

Through the woods, a rumbling diesel engine filled the air with its droning hum. The group of six turned toward the sound and noticed white headlights shining through the trees 120 yards away. Steve swallowed hard and began praying. He had heard that sound before and he had caught a glimpse of its source earlier.

Through the trees, a large CHETRA TM-140 tracked truck advanced at a speed of at least 40 miles per hour. It could move faster, but the Russians were hunting for Steve and his friends, and they were closing in fast on the small group. A couple seconds passed and the bright headlights reached the Christians, causing them to shield their eyes. They had been spotted.

We will now leave Siberia and turn our attention to a time a few years earlier when America was still called the United States of America, prior to the invasion of the U.S. by a Russian and Chinese coalition. (Other nations will also be involved in this coalition.) God has been warning many people about this invasion for many years, even going back to at least the ‘90s and ‘80s.

And, God has been warning people in this current decade (2011 and on) with dreams and visions about this coming invasion by Russia and China. Now, our story will take us to Cincinnati, Ohio where Steven and Sarah O’Neill live. We have wound the clock back a few years for this part of the adventure.

“Cincinnati, Ohio -- Crime in the City”

- Ohio, U.S.A. -


(Chest of drawers. Click for source.)
Blam! Blam! Blam! Three powerful gunshots echoed through the neighborhood where Jason Harper lived, waking the 34-year-old from sleep. Jason sat up in his bed and blinked several times. The room was dark except for the dim, green light which emanated from the digital clock on his bedside chest of drawers. The time displayed was 3:00 AM.

Jason snapped his fingers and the room light turned on by way of a sound-activation sensor.

He stood up and sighed. He was wearing warm pajamas and socks, but something swept through his body, making him shiver momentarily. Something very evil was at work in his neighborhood.

‘Were those gunshots I heard? Why would a shooting take place in my neighborhood? It’s normally crime free,’ Jason thought as he walked toward the only window in his small bedroom. Pushing the drapes aside, he stared out into the night. His window faced a street which connected perpendicularly onto the street running past his house. Both streets formed a T-intersection with each other.

On the perpendicular street, which formed the lower line of the “T”, he saw activity. Squinting and rubbing his eyes, Jason tried to make out what was going on. Then, he hurried back to his small chest of drawers and slid open the top drawer. From it Jason retrieved a pair of binoculars and shuffled over to the window. He removed the lens caps as he walked.

(A residential neighborhood. Click for source.)
Once he stood before the window, Jason placed the binoculars to his eyes and began focusing them. As his eyes adjusted, he saw men with guns smashing front windows in four different homes and entering through the windows. Other men stood outside armed with pistols and shotguns.

A short time later, they intruders emerged through the front doors with lamps, small furniture, and knickknacks, which they tossed into the front yards. Women wearing warm pajamas were screaming as they were pulled out of their homes by the crooks. A short time later, men in pajamas were shoved out onto their lawns, and thugs began beating them unconscious with their fists and with wooden clubs.

Blam! Blam! Blam! A gun went off somewhere inside one of the houses and a woman outside, in the yard, screamed. A couple gangsters watched her with wicked expressions on their faces and appeared to be laughing.

A knock came at the door of Jason’s bedroom. He turned away from the window and said, “Who is it?”

“It’s me,” Steve said through the door.

“Oh, come in, Steve,” Jason said.

The door opened and Steven O’Neill entered quickly before shutting it behind him. He had been staying with Jason since his own neighborhood had gotten very dangerous and since a gang had threatened to kill him if he didn’t leave his house. And, he had felt God leading him and Sarah, his wife, to stay in Jason’s spare bedroom.

“I hear shooting. Do you know what’s going on?” Steve asked his friend.

He was wearing carpenter jeans and a brown T-shirt with a logo of the bakery he used to work at displayed across the chest.

“It looks like gangs are pillaging my neighbor’s homes and beating up the men,” Jason said. “This is bad. I wonder if the police have been called. I think I’ll call them now.”

(Armored police truck. Click for source.)
Just then, a loud siren came down the street. Jason turned back to the window and raised his binoculars. He could see several police cars and one armored truck pulling up on either side of the street segment, where the crimes were being committed, to cut off the crooks from escaping. In seconds, police officers were emerging armed with bullet-proof vests, Kevlar helmets, and AR-15 automatic rifles.

The gangsters fired off several wild shots toward the police before they ran through yards, trying to escape the police presence. Jason turned away from the window and shut the drapes. He sighed and set the binoculars on the chest of drawers.

“This is crazy, Steve,” Jason said. “I thought when I invited you to stay with me that you would be safer in this house, but it looks like my neighborhood is just as bad as yours was becoming. It seems that there is no safe neighborhood in town.”

“Jesus is our solid Rock of Refuge and Fortress,” Steve said. “But, you’re right. Cincinnati and many other cities in this country are not safe to live in for most people. Crime is going through the roof, and the police cannot handle all the violence.”

“Also, the wickedness of this country is only increasing. It reminds me of Sodom and Gomorrah,” Jason said.

“You’re right,” Steve said, nodding with sadness. “But, God is our hope and our Fortress, like Psalm 46:1 says.”

“What does it go like?” Jason said, looking at his friend’s face.

Steven said from memory: “Psalm 46:1-2 says: ‘[1] God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. [2] Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;’”

“That is comforting,” Jason said. “I look forward to the day when we will leave this country, but I am saddened by how it has become so evil and rebellious against God. They’ve passed laws making it illegal to preach the Gospel in public locations and on the radio waves, calling it ‘hate-speech.’”

“It is sad,” Steve said. “Just a few years ago, Christians could freely preach the Gospel and witness in public and on city streets. Now, we have to do it more covertly.”

“China has been threatening America too, did you hear?” Jason said.

“I’ve heard them threatening America. Is there something you’ve heard recently?” Steve said, looking at his friend with curiosity.

“China recently launched a missile that landed in the Pacific Ocean just 500 miles from the west coast,” Jason said. “It wasn’t armed with any warhead, according to the Chinese. Rather, it was a warning shot.”

“That’s too close for comfort. What did we do to provoke China?” Steve asked.

“The U.S. has been sending ships close to Chinese territorial waters and challenging their claims to certain islands, which they have built up,” Jason said. “The Chinese are very upset with this country right now, as you can see.”

Suddenly, a machine gun blasted through the night air, and Steven and Jason instinctively flinched. The gunfire was very loud and seemed to come from a block or two away.

“I feel like praying,” Jason said as he glanced at the window drapes. “Dear Father God, we pray that this violent person who fired the gun would set it down and turn in himself to the police. We pray that his nation will repent before you or that at least many people across America will repent from their sins and turn to you. In the name of Jesus Christ, amen.”

“Amen,” Steve said. “I feel that I need to check on my wife and see how she’s doing.”

He left the room, closing the door quietly behind him.

Jason remained in his bedroom and walked up to the window. Pushing the drapes apart, he stared out at the street. The police were still blocking access to the perpendicular street at the T-intersection.

He moved the drapes back over the window and sighed. “Lord,” Jason said, looking up, “I need you to work a miracle and put an end to this violence.”

“My son, Jason, I love you very much,” God’s tender, whisper of a voice spoke. “You are precious to Me, and all Christians are precious to Me. I want you to know that very, very soon, you and the O’Neills will be translated to Russia where I will start you on a new leg of your journey on this planet. You will see miracles take place like you couldn’t imagine. You will see lost souls being saved and mighty works of My Spirit happening on a regular basis. Now, watch what I will do.”

That moment, a miracle happened which would forever change Jason Harper’s life and the lives of his friends.

[Footnote: The Chinese are not the enemy, neither are the Russians. Both are people just like you and me. But, God will use Russia and China to judge wicked nations, which will not repent from their rebellion against Him. And, the devil will seek to stir up men to persecute the Church. But, God will deliver all who seek Him and trust in Him.]






EXCERPT from Part 36 ("Angelic Encounter"):  

"... he watched the TM-140 pull up to a stop just forty feet from him. Its headlights mercifully were aimed to the side and illuminated the forest beyond the small group. The rear doors in the troop compartment swung open and communist soldiers poured out. Each soldier wore snow camouflage and helmet-mounted infrared optics which took the form of a black device lowered over the right eye.

The infrared optics allowed the soldiers to see wavelengths of light given off by warm objects. Human shapes were no longer cable of being hid in the dark due to this technology. Armed with grenades and AK-74M automatic rifles, the soldiers were a threat which was a test to the Christian’s faith. Would God allow them to be captured or killed? That was a thought rushing through Steve and his friend’s minds as they saw the enemy soldiers drop into the snow and quickly take up positions.

They took aim at the small group of Christians and some cycled their bolts to load fresh bullets into their gun chambers while falling snow gracefully fluttered to toward the ground and slowly coated their helmets with a dusting of powder.

“Raise your hands!” a soldier shouted at them as he pointed his gun at Sergey.

Sarah, Ivan, and Alexei quickly raised their hands. But, the three others didn’t. ..." (Read all of Part 36.)
