The alliance between Sheba and Dedan and Israel gets stronger as they face the common threat of Iran

The meeting in NEOM last November continues to bear fruit as Netanyahu is on a trip to the UAE and will be meeting with other members of the Saudi alliance that is moving closer to Israel to deal with the common threat of Iran.

As I predicted last year, if Biden won, this would light a fire under that group especially the Saudis (Sheba and Dedan) as the common threat to all of them posed by Iran gets stronger under Bidens weak and uncertain leadership in the Middle East.

MBS of Saudi Arabia welcomed Netanyahu last November to NEOM. Now this.

The Saudis don't trust the current American administration, and they are not happy with the way the Khashoggi murder is being picked back up by the State Dept. That embarrasses the Saudi's and weakens them. Then Biden's continuing friendliness to Iran is another concern.

So the Saudis are moving towarnds friendly relations with Israel. And the threat of war grows closer.

And Biden's tone deaf ignorance (him and his advisors) are simply playing into the set up for Ezek 38 as they make ALL the wrong moves in the Middle East, just as Obama before them.

Yes, it shows how even though we may not be happy with events in our country that God is certainly in control and His prophetic plan is moving forward

Events in our country are heartbreaking. But we have a brand new country coming to us where our Lord Jesus rules and reigns... and we along with Him!

Praise God!


Today my heart did a little jump in excitement thinking about seeing Christ and the R.F. family along with some of my family members.

Saudi Arabia knows it needs Israel to ward off threats from the Iranian regime and its proxies. Really exciting to watch it unfold.

Ran across this Op-Ed from Arab News which is a Saudi newspaper. It subtly criticizes the Nord Stream 2 pipeline and says that " it will increase the continent’s (Europe) dependence on Moscow for energy even more." Interesting.

Very interesting! I wonder if this is meant to somehow cut out Israel as a player in the energy war. As if God can be thwarted. . Although, this may be a bit of an allowed delay.

From the article:

....However, there is one area where the Biden administration is showing weakness and uncertainty when it comes to Europe’s security: The Nord Stream 2 pipeline.

Nord Stream 2 is a Russian gas pipeline that will connect Russia directly to Germany through the Baltic Sea. Russia prefers this method because it removes Ukraine from the transit route to European markets.

Germany likes the pipeline because it allows them to consolidate even more power across much of Europe. The vast majority of European countries, especially from eastern Europe, are concerned about Russian dominance in the continent’s energy market.

The future of the Nord Stream 2 project is becoming one of the most contentious transatlantic issues currently debated in Washington. US Sen. Ted Cruz has pledged to hold up the confirmation of the next Central Intelligence Agency director in order to pressure the Biden administration into stopping the pipeline.

Last week, five US Congress members sent a letter to Secretary of State Antony Blinken calling on the Biden administration to implement sanctions under the “Protecting Europe’s Energy Security Act.” This bipartisan legislation came into force in January 2021 with the goal of stopping Russia from “using its energy resources for coercive purposes.”

So far, Biden has refused to implement the sanctions and halt Nord Stream 2.
Europe already depends on Russian natural gas for 40 percent of its needs. In total, almost 200 billion cubic meters of natural gas are now imported from the country annually due to declining European production and rising demand.

If Nord Stream 2 is finished, it will increase the continent’s dependence on Moscow for energy even more.
It is important to point out that Nord Stream 2 is neither economically necessary, nor is it geopolitically prudent. Rather, it is a political project led by German financial interests and Russian geopolitical machinations to greatly increase European dependence on Russian gas, magnify Moscow’s ability to use its European energy dominance as a political trump card, and specifically to undermine eastern and central Europe.

Europe needs to do a better job at diversifying its energy resources away from Russia. Luckily there are alternatives to Nord Stream 2.

One logical area is the continent's south. There are three initiatives that can help Europe achieve better energy security instead of relying more on Russia: The Southern Gas Corridor, the proposed Trans-Caspian Pipeline and the Three Seas Initiative......

Yeah, kinda surprising there was no mention of Israel in that piece. Maybe it's just Saudi tiptoeing around Israel and trying not to show too much about the alliance on the media.

Appreciated the article, interesting. They sure did sidestep around Israel and Israel's pipelines. As usual probably catering to the Arab readers who might go ballistic if they thought Israel was going to work with their countries on anything. Hence the leaders like MBS of the Saudi's having to meet up with Netanyahu last November off in the new still being built city of NEOM.
