PRO:Russia in Bible Prophecy

   "And they that dwell in the cities of Israel shall go forth, and
shall set on fire and burn the weapons, both the shields and the
bucklers, the bows and the arrows, and the handstaves, and the spears,
and they shall burn them with fire seven years." Ezekiel 39:3

   Most people would probably scoff, saying it is impossible....but...

   Charles R. Taylor writes: "Lignostone is a product of many uses. It
is known that Russia has been using this versatile product for many
years in the manufacture of its weapons of war.

   For those who may not be familiar with this fairly recent discovery,
lignostone was invented by a man in Ter Apel, Holland. It has the
quality of being stronger than steel, more elastic, and very applicable
for many manufactured products (even including bows and arrows).^ It
resembles many layers of plywood compressed under extreme pressure, and
it has another vital use: being a wood product, it burns better than
coal. This is the major reason for its original developement. Since
Holland had no natural gas wells at the time, lignostone was developed
for use in the coke-burning plants for the production of manufactured
gas.

   Lignostone burns better than coke, and thus we see in this product
the very real potential for the fulfillment of another marvellous Bible
prophecy which could be burned for fuel for seven years."

   The Russians (and perhaps other nations) are now using a new Dutch
invention that is called "lignostone" in making their weapons of
warfare. This material is stronger than steel springs, is very elastic,
and can be used for making modern machinery. The amazing thing about
lignostone is that is burns. (Paul Lee Tan)

   "And I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and
horsemen.." Ezekiel 38:4

   The world's horse population is estimated at 72,600,000, of which at
least one half are in Russia.

   Although other nations have discontinued it, Russia has continued to
be noted for her cavalry. Even before World War II, Russian agents
scoured the earth for battle horses and bought them. During the Second
War, Russian Cossacks met and defeated German mechanized forces. In the
Korean war, 5000 mounted Communist troops were able to cross the Yalu
River without being detected by UN reconnaissance planes.

   Horses are still the fastest and surest means of transporting men,
light and heavy artillery, and field equiptment over mountainous
terrian. (Paul Lee Tan)

   All something to think about....
