"Signet Ring"

 

"Somebody told you when this all first started:

"The world is going to want Russia's oil and minerals more than it's going to care about Ukraines

freedom."

Who was that?

Oh, and inflation hasnt even started, let alone peaked."

That was from Overheard yesterday, dated July 12th of this year, and there is an even earlier one than that where: "The world is going to want Russia's oil and minerals more than it's going to care about Ukraines freedom." was stated.

And now today?

Russian oil sanctions are about to kick in. And they could disrupt markets in a big way

"China and India

G-7 nations agreed to impose a limit on Russian oil in September, and have been working on the details ever since. At the time, the EU’s energy chief, Kadri Simson, told CNBC she was hoping China and India would support the price cap, too."

(Hello naiveté.)

"Both nations stepped up their purchases of Russian oil following Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine, benefiting from discounted rates. Their participation is seen as essential if the restrictions on Russian oil are to work."

("China and India picked up the pace of Russian oil purchases following the invasion but in Sept the EU's energy chief "was hoping"? China and India would go along with a price cap mechanism?)

“China and India are crucial as they buy the bulk of Russian oil,” Jacob Kirkegaard, senior fellow at the Peterson Institute For International Economics, told CNBC.

“They won’t commit, however, for political reasons, as the cap is a U.S.-sponsored policy and [for] commercial reasons, as they already get a lot of cheap oil from Russia, so why jeopardize that? Thinking they would voluntarily join was always naive as Ukraine is not that important to them.”

(And somebody told you: "The world is going to want Russia's oil and minerals more than it's going to care about Ukraines freedom." right after hostilities were initiated. Who was that? How is that even possible? I've already said, Haggai 2:23.)

"India’s petroleum minister, Shri Hardeep S Puri, told CNBC in September he has a “moral duty” to his country’s consumers. “We will buy oil from Russia, we will buy from wherever,” he added."

"As such, there are growing doubts about the true impact of the restrictions on Russia."

(The only thing it is gonna do is drive up prices and not harm the Russians in any meaningful sense whatsoever. Just plain foolishness. This thing was doomed before it ever started. "We want your oil we just dont wanna pay you what you think we should for it, or, "We want your oil we just dont want you to be able to fund your war with the proceeds." It's just ludacris and gonna send markets crazy when they try and implement it. Dec 5th BTW. Yup.

Oh and lets get back to Haggai 2:23 shall we?

Haggai 2:23 

In that day, saith the Lord of hosts, will I take thee, O Zerubbabel, my servant, the son of Shealtiel, saith the Lord, and will make thee as a signet: for I have chosen thee, saith the Lord of hosts.

My Mendenhall Reference Bible list Isaiah 43:9

as a reference to that verse.

Isaiah 43:9

New American Bible (Revised Edition)

9 Let all the nations gather together, let the peoples assemble! Who among them could have declared this, or announced to us the earlier things? Let them produce witnesses to prove themselves right, that one may hear and say, “It is true!”

Footnotes from the NABRE state:

Isaiah 43:9 

"Who among them…?: God, and only God, can foretell the future because it is he who brings it to pass. The argument from prediction is an important theme in Second Isaiah and occurs also in 41:22; 43:10; 44:7–8, 26.

and 

Isaiah 43:10 

says:

“Ye are my witnesses”, saith the Lord, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me. 

and footnotes from the NABRE state in part:

43:10 You are my witnesses: Israel’s role as chosen people now takes a new turn as they are given the active role of bearing witness before humankind to the Lord’s role in history by proclaiming events beforehand and bringing them to pass; see also 44:8. The false gods, on the other hand, cannot produce such witnesses.

Where's the other witnesses?

This isnt the only instance like this, we have seen this displayed over and over and over again.

If you would have been following along from about seven years ago? You would know exactly what I am talking about.

So how is it possible?

“Ye are my witnesses”, saith the Lord, and my servant whom I have chosen.

WE have his seal of approval.

(Signet)

When are you going to admit it to yourselves and give us yours as well?

It's pretty obvious wats going on.

Accept Christ as risen lord and savior.

Do it today.

You're not guaranteed tomorrow.

I love you baby.
