Revelation 6:3-4
And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see. And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace (G1515) from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great (G3173) sword (G3162).
*G1515 – εἰρήνη – peace (literally or figuratively); by implication, prosperity
Derivation: probably from a primary verb εἴρω (to join); KJV Usage: one, peace, quietness, rest, + set at one again.
*G3173 – μέγας – big (literally or figuratively, in a very wide application)
Derivation: (including the prolonged forms, feminine μεγάλη, plural μεγάλοι, etc.; compare also G3176, G3187); KJV Usage: (+ fear) exceedingly, great(-est), high, large, loud, mighty, + (be) sore (afraid), strong, X to years.
*G3162 – μάχαιρα – a knife, i.e. dirk; figuratively, war, judicial punishment
Derivation: probably feminine of a presumed derivative of G3163; KJV Usage: sword.
>G3163 – μάχη – a battle, i.e. (figuratively) controversy. Derivation: from G3164; KJV Usage: fighting, strive, striving.
>>G3164 – μάχομαι – to war, i.e. (figuratively) to quarrel, dispute

Biden considering sending 30-50 M1 Abrams tanks to Ukraine: Politico
In the last update (1/23/23), the UK pledged 14 Challenger II tanks, their best. Also, an article with China making an oil deal with the Taliban was introduced with the following intro:
The Taliban were former US allies in Russia/Afganistan war and NOW, the former US trained Afgan Troops that fled to Iran are considering joining Russia in its war against Ukraine. Guess they’re PO’ED about the US leaving them.
And…
Is this some kind of foreign policy comedy?

Ukraine now wants F-16s after getting 31 Abrams tanks: ‘There is nothing we will not get’
From the article:
After securing Western tanks to defend against Russia’s invasion, Ukraine already knows it wants F-16s and other fighter jets next, an adviser to its defense minister said Wednesday.
“The next big hurdle will now be the fighter jets,” Yuriy Sak, an adviser to Defense Minister Oleksiy Reznikov, told Reuters in an interview.
“If we get them, the advantages on the battlefield will be just immense. … It’s not just F-16s. Fourth-generation aircraft, this is what we want.”
His comment came as President Joe Biden announced that the U.S. would for the first time send 31 sophisticated M1 Abrams tanks to aid Ukraine’s war effort. The same day, Germany confirmed it’s sending its own Leopard 2 tanks into the war following weeks of debate over the latest escalation in weaponry….

Doomsday Clock moves 90 seconds to midnight over nuke risk
From the article:
The “Doomsday Clock” moved forward to 90 seconds to midnight on Tuesday, largely over the increased risk of nuclear escalation amid Russia’s nearly year-long invasion of Ukraine.
The symbolic countdown clock is now the closest it has ever come to midnight, a metaphor for global catastrophe. The “clock” is set annually by the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, a nonprofit organization.
“We are living in a time of unprecedented danger, and the Doomsday Clock time reflects that reality,” said Rachel Bronson, president and CEO of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, in a statement. “The US government, its NATO allies and Ukraine have a multitude of channels for dialogue; we urge leaders to explore all of them to their fullest ability to turn back the Clock.”
The clock had previously spent two years at 100 seconds to midnight. The last time the clock ticked away from midnight was in 2010, when the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists hailed progress toward nuclear arms reduction and international pledges to limit climate-warming emissions.
The clock started out at seven minutes to midnight in 1947 and reached a maximum of 17 minutes to midnight in 1991 after the U.S. and Soviet Union signed a nuclear reduction treaty, according to the official timeline….

Two years?!?!
What does pledges to climate have to do with reducing nuclear holocaust?

Zechariah 13
KJV(i) 1 In that day there shall be a fountain opened to the house of David and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem for sin and for uncleanness. 2 And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the LORD of hosts, that I will cut off the names of the idols out of the land, and they shall no more be remembered: and also I will cause the prophets and the unclean spirit to pass out of the land. 3 And it shall come to pass, that when any shall yet prophesy, then his father and his mother that begat him shall say unto him, Thou shalt not live; for thou speakest lies in the name of the LORD: and his father and his mother that begat him shall thrust him through when he prophesieth. 4 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the prophets shall be ashamed every one of his vision, when he hath prophesied; neither shall they wear a rough garment to deceive: 5 But he shall say, I am no prophet, I am an husbandman; for man taught me to keep cattle from my youth. 6 And one shall say unto him, What are these wounds in thine hands? Then he shall answer, Those with which I was wounded in the house of my friends. 7 Awake, O sword, against my shepherd, and against the man that is my fellow, saith the LORD of hosts: smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered: and I will turn mine hand upon the little ones. 8 And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, saith the LORD, two parts therein shall be cut off and die; but the third shall be left therein. 9 And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people: and they shall say, The LORD is my God.
Isaiah 2:2-5
KJV(i) 2 And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the LORD’s house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it. 3 And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem. 4 And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more. 5 O house of Jacob, come ye, and let us walk in the light of the LORD.
