Russia released a photograph of its latest Sarmat missile, dubbed as ‘Satan 2’ by NATO:
October 29, 2016
Russia has put us on notice with news that its RS-28 Sarmat thermonuclear-armed ballistic missile system, dubbed Satan 2, will come into service in 2018.
The monster rocket is said to be 2000 times stronger than bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki and capable of destroying a country the size of “France or Texas”. …
The RS-28 Sarmat thermonuclear-armed ballistic missile was commissioned in 2011 and is expected to come into service in 2018.
It has been dubbed “Satan 2”, as it will replace the RS-36M, the 1970s-era weapon referred to by NATO as the Satan missile. …
Russia reportedly tested a hypersonic warhead in April that is apparently intended for use on the Satan 2 missiles.
Terrifyingly, the warhead is designed to be impossible to intercept because it does not move on a set trajectory. http://www.news.com.au/world/from-super-nukes-to-sniper-guns-the-worlds-deadliest-weapons/news-story/86acb827efb90e8610527358d9d23d29

What is Russia’s Satan 2 nuclear missile?
Russia’s so-called Satan 2 is widely tipped as being the most powerful and deadly atomic warhead on the planet.
It carries bombs 1,000 more powerful than those dropped by the US on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan during World War Two.
The missile can reportedly carry up to 16 separate bombs which allow it to drop multiple nukes on an area in a single strike.
It is also said the Satan 2 will have a range of 6,835 miles.
Officially named the RS-28 Sarmat, the 100 ton nuclear weapon will replace Putin’s Soviet era Satan missiles.
It has been developed by Russian missile production company the Makeyev Design Bureau.
Images of the Satan 2 have emerged amid news Russia is developing a hypersonic PAK-DA jet which could drop nuclear warheads from space.
It has also been rumoured that the nuclear missile will be equipped with stealth technology to so it can dodge enemy radar systems.
What level of death and destruction could be caused by Satan 2?
Military expert Dr Paul Craig Roberts sensationally claimed that the “five or six” of the Russian missiles could wipe out the entire US east coast. https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/2066898/what-are-russias-satan-2-nuclear-missiles-and-could-the-rs-28-sarmat-warheads-reach-the-uk/

(CNN) A Russian missile design company has unveiled the first image of a new weapon in Russia’s arsenal: the Sarmat intercontinental ballistic missile, nicknamed “Satan 2.”
‘Satan 2’ is not expected to be ‘operational’ until 2018 according to one source, but 2020 or 2021 according to other sources.
Now, unless the Russians give/sell one of these missiles to the Europeans, I do not believe it will ever be used to destroy Texas.
Yet, it is possible that something like this could be used one day to eliminate parts of Europe, such as France (see also The ‘Lost Tribe’ of Reuben: France in Prophecy?).
Notice that the ‘Satan 2’ project was commissioned in 2011, which is about two years after the famous ‘reset’ button that then US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton presented to her Russian counterpart in 2009. Not only did that ‘reset’ not work, it was also done improperly:
March 21, 2009
Mrs. Clinton presented the Russian foreign minister with a gift of an oversized button, which was labeled peregruzka. According to Hillary it meant “reset” – a term to signify what the U.S. and Russia can do to their relations under the new administration.
“You got it wrong,” stated the Russian foreign minister. “Peregruzka means overloaded.”
Of course, this is the kind of mistake one would expect from a first-year Russian language student and not the secretary of state. Still, the mainstream media quickly buried the story, and late night comics – ever known to point out the previous administration’s follies – never uttered a single joke. http://www.wnd.com/2009/03/92443/#4fC2CHVZIjUCUUAs.99
‘Satan 2’ seems more like an overloaded reaction by Russia, than a positive reset of actual policies.
While various ones believe that Russia is a major military threat to the USA and will launch a massive attack against the USA, this was not the view of the old Radio/Worldwide Church of God.
Notice something from the late Hebert Armstrong decades ago, during the time of the old Soviet Union, titled Why Russia Will Not Attack the United States:
For decades now, the prospect of war between Russia and the United States has continually heightened and lessened.
Many who claim to be authorities on prophecy assure people a war involving Russia and the United States, Canada and England is prophesied in Ezekiel 38.
The United States, Britain and other democracies of north-western Europe, they recognize, are nations descended from the lost Ten Tribes. Therefore, they conclude, the prophecy of Ezekiel 38 foretells a military invasion of the North American continent from the Soviet Union. But this is not what prophecy says…
But this very fact – that this invasion will not come until after the Second Coming of Christ – will seem preposterous to many, at first thought.
That is because we have been accustomed merely to assume things that are not true. We have blindly assumed that when Christ comes, there will be no opposition. Every person and power on earth, we have thought, will simply submit meekly and instantly to him and his power. But that is not true!
Some gentile nations understandably shall not submit until forced to. The final restoration of the Roman Empire shall be subdued and conquered at a battle commonly called “Armageddon.” But the populous nations of Eurasia that the Almighty God up to this point has not dealt with shall still have to be brought to submission.
“Gog” Identified“Gog in the land of “Magog” is the vast regions of the U.S.S.R. in northern Eurasia extending from the Baltic to the Pacific. “Meshech” is Moscow, “Tubal” is Tobol’sk.
Notice the allies who come with them in this future battle. You will find “Gomer” “Togarmah,” “Magog,” “Meshech” “Tubal” identified in Genesis 10 as the sons of Japheth, father of the Eurasians. Ethiopia and Phut (mistranslated Libya) are descended from Ham.
Therefore, this prophecy of Ezekiel 38 shows who shall finally succeed in marshaling peoples of each major race into a gigantic invasion upon our people.
When God begins to rule the world, through Christ – with His chosen people restored to prosperity in the land of Israel, the very center of the land surface of the earth (verse 12, Moffatt translation) – this, great Eurasian union of nations shall finally be tempted to use their mighty air force. (Armstrong HW. Why Russia Will Not Attack the United States, article).
Some Bible scholars assert falsely that these prophecies of Ezekiel were fulfilled anciently. They never were. Others believe they are about to occur but some years before Armageddon. Both views are erroneous. The events of Ezekiel 38 and 39 are without question still future – for the “latter days” (38: 16) and “latter years” (38:8). Moreover, Ezekiel 38:14 describes the time setting as being “in that day when my people of Israel dwelleth safely.” This is certainly not the situation in the State of Israel to- day! The Israel described by Ezekiel is a nation that dwells in security, in unwalled villages, totally unprepared for war (38:8, 11, 14). Read it for yourself! (Why Russia Will Not Attack the United States. WCG booklet)
Ezekiel 38 is for the distant future–and right at/after the millennium (cf. Revelation 20:7-9; see also Ezekiel 38: For Russia & Iran in Our Day?; a related video is also available titled Ezekiel 38: For Russia, Ukraine, & Iran Now?). But that does not mean that there cannot be military conflict between the USA and Russia now (and there may be some).
But what about massive destruction with ties to Russia?
That will come. Europe will one day be hit. But this is at least seven years away.
But steps are aligning for that to happen now.
There is currently a growing Russian-led military confederation called CSTO. And more nations are likely to support Russia in the future. It may be of interest to note that Armenia is part of CSTO. Armenia (called Ararat below) and others are also referred to below as part of the confederation that goes against end time Babylon:
27 Set up a banner in the land, Blow the trumpet among the nations! Prepare the nations against her, Call the kingdoms together against her: Ararat, Minni, and Ashkenaz. Appoint a general against her; Cause the horses to come up like the bristling locusts. 28 Prepare against her the nations, With the kings of the Medes, Its governors and all its rulers, All the land of his dominion. 29 And the land will tremble and sorrow; For every purpose of the Lord shall be performed against Babylon, To make the land of Babylon a desolation without inhabitant. (Jeremiah 51:27-29)
Herbert Armstrong commented that the confederation is associated with the 200 million-man army–which means also that it will include nations not currently confederate with Russia in CSTO (like apparently the Chinese and other Asians):
The second woe, with its symbols of horses and horsemen…and is also referred to as an event in the Day OF THE Eternal in Joel 2:4. This refers to a tremendous military power–also to the NORTH–due north! They come with an army of two hundred million! Think of it–an army of two hundred million! (Armstrong HW. The Book of Revelation Unveiled at Last! 1972 edition. p. 38-39).
Notice something else from Joel that is related to this:
6 Before them the people writhe in pain;
All faces are drained of color. (Joel 2:6)
20 “But I will remove far from you the northern army,
And will drive him away into a barren and desolate land,
With his face toward the eastern sea
And his back toward the western sea;
His stench will come up,
And his foul odor will rise,
Because he has done monstrous things.” (Joel 2:20)
This is related because the northern, King of the North army of Europe, will be facing forces from the east–these would be forces most likely led by Russia.
Also the Hebrew word translated “writhe in pain” in Joel 2:6 is the same basic word used in Jeremiah 51:29 and translated as “and sorrow.” This also seems to tie all this together.
The Bible shows that the leader of the final Babylonian European Empire will be called “the King of the North” and that he will be troubled by those from the north (Russia) and the east (China and other Asians):
40 …the king of the North… 43 He shall have power over the treasures of gold and silver, and over all the precious things of Egypt; also the Libyans and Ethiopians shall follow at his heels. 44 But news from the east and the north shall trouble him; therefore he shall go out with great fury to destroy and annihilate many. 45 And he shall plant the tents of his palace between the seas and the glorious holy mountain; yet he shall come to his end, and no one will help him (Dan 11:40,43-45).
This fulfillment of Daniel 11:44 is likely to occur about 3 1/2 years after the Great Tribulation begins. Also note that this seems consistent with something Jeremiah foretold:
41 “Behold, a people shall come from the north,
And a great nation and many kings
Shall be raised up from the ends of the earth.
42 They shall hold the bow and the lance;
They are cruel and shall not show mercy.
Their voice shall roar like the sea;
They shall ride on horses,
Set in array, like a man for the battle,
Against you, O daughter of Babylon.
43 “The king of Babylon has heard the report about them,
And his hands grow feeble;
Anguish has taken hold of him,
Pangs as of a woman in childbirth…”(Jeremiah 50:41-43).
Thus, the European empire (the “daughter of Babylon”) is to be destroyed by a northern (apparently Russian led) force.
Missile shields will not provide the type of protection that Europe will one day need. Perhaps ‘Satan 2’ or something similar will be used by Russia (ground troops from Asia will be a factor).
Certain Protestant prophecy watchers suspect that now with the involvement of Russia in the Middle East and the increased willingness of the West to fight Islamic terrorists that WWIII is about to start. Some have concluded that the ‘Bible Code’ is showing this is about to happen (watch Russia, Iran, Syria, & the Bible Code).
That is NOT the case.
However, what is happening is that the Europeans are getting a wake-up call that they have to develop their own military–and the Bible shows that they will (Revelation 13:4; Daniel 11:39-43).
Yet, this will not turn out well for the USA (Daniel 11:39), the Middle East/North Africa (Daniel 11:40-43), nor Europe itself (Daniel 11:44; Revelation 18).
