Russia, Part 3
Now let's focus on the part of the goat's face from the eye to the beard (in the blue box):
And let's rotate this image 90 degrees to the right:
The Russian goat has a pig on its face!
For now, please ignore the 'extension' to the pig's snout. We'll get to that in a moment. Note that the Russian pig's tail is the snake from Part 2, which is very fitting because it doesn't take much imagination to compare a pig's tail to a coiled snake. The pig even has a little horn.
The pig's rear end is equivalent to the goat's eye. It must be difficult to know where you're headed when that's all you can see.
Here is a another look at the Russian pig:
It's also curious that the pig and the goat share the same lower lip.
Now let's zoom out again, and consider why this Russian pig has such an unusual nose. We'll focus on the Kamchatka Peninsula:
It's a dinosaur!
Here's another look in winter:
Recall that this is the Russian goat's beard, and I think that's where a clue lies as to why we would find a dinosaur here. You may be wondering why it's here at all. Yes, God made the dinosaurs too, and there is one in the Bible. The problem most Christians have is resolving when God made them, and I hope the beard will help with that. The Hebrew word for 'beard' (Strong's #2206) comes from a root word that means 'old' or 'aged'; think old age or even first age. This is known as the "world that then was" in 2nd Peter 3:
3 Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,
4 And saying, Where is the promise of His coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as [they were] from the beginning of the creation.
5 For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:
6 Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:
That was the age of the dinosaurs (also see Ephesians 1:4-7), not Noah's flood. God destroyed that age and the dinosaurs with it, and made this age that we live in now. That is key. And by the way, the first leg of the Kamchatka dinosaur is shaped like a key. Think of it as the first leg of our journey through life.
7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.
The dinosaur I mentioned earlier is recorded in Job 40:
15 Behold now behemoth, which I made with thee; he eateth grass as an ox.
16 Lo now, his strength [is] in his loins, and his force [is] in the navel of his belly.
17 He moveth his tail like a cedar: the sinews of his stones are wrapped together.
Except for whales, nothing alive today has a tail the size of a cedar tree. This is obviously a dinosaur.
18 His bones [are as] strong pieces of brass; his bones [are] like bars of iron.
19 He [is] the chief of the ways of God: he that made him can make his sword to approach [unto him].
20 Surely the mountains bring him forth food, where all the beasts of the field play.
21 He lieth under the shady trees, in the covert of the reed, and fens.
22 The shady trees cover him [with] their shadow; the willows of the brook compass him about.
23 Behold, he drinketh up a river, [and] hasteth not: he trusteth that he can draw up Jordan into his mouth.
24 He taketh it with his eyes: [his] nose pierceth through snares.
Of course the big question is, Why did God destroy the world that then was? Obviously it had something to do with the devil. Perhaps that too is portrayed for us here in Russia:
The Kamchatka peninsula is connected to Japan via the Kuril Islands. It "is a volcanic archipelago that stretches approximately 1,300 km (810 mi) northeast from Hokkaidō, Japan, to Kamchatka, Russia, separating the Sea of Okhotsk from the North Pacific Ocean. There are 56 islands and many more minor rocks. All of the islands are under Russian jurisdiction, but Japan claims the four southernmost as part of its territory, which has led to the ongoing Kuril Islands dispute (courtesy Wikipedia).
Another part of the story is found in the study of Japan, but I believe the following Scriptures in Revelation 12 refer to what happened in the world that then was:
3 And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads. 4 And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.
Satan deceived a third of God's children, symbolized by stars (Revelation 1:20), and that's why we're here now.
In Part 4 we'll focus on three more areas of the Russian goat.
