For most of that time, he  admits, few took his argument &#8212; that an economic and moral collapse will  trigger a civil war and the eventual breakup of the U.S. &#8212; very seriously. Now  he&#8217;s found an eager audience: Russian state media.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span><span style=\"font-family: Arial;\">In recent weeks, he&#8217;s been interviewed as much as twice a  day about his predictions. &#8220;It&#8217;s a record,&#8221; says Prof. Panarin. &#8220;But I think the  attention is going to grow even stronger.&#8221;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span><span style=\"font-family: Arial;\">Prof. Panarin, 50 years old, is not a fringe figure. A  former KGB analyst, he is dean of the Russian Foreign Ministry&#8217;s academy for  future diplomats. He is invited to Kremlin receptions, lectures students,  publishes books, and appears in the media as an expert on U.S.-Russia  relations&#8230;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span><span style=\"font-family: Arial;\">A polite and cheerful man with a buzz cut, Mr. Panarin  insists he does not dislike Americans. But he warns that the outlook for them is  dire.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span><span style=\"font-family: Arial;\">&#8220;There&#8217;s a 55-45% chance right now that disintegration will  occur,&#8221; he says. &#8220;One could rejoice in that process,&#8221; he adds, poker-faced. &#8220;But  if we&#8217;re talking reasonably, it&#8217;s not the best scenario &#8212; for Russia.&#8221; Though  Russia would become more powerful on the global stage, he says, its economy  would suffer because it currently depends heavily on the dollar and on trade  with the U.S.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span><span style=\"font-family: Arial;\">Mr. Panarin posits, in brief, that mass immigration,  economic decline, and moral degradation will trigger a civil war next fall and  the collapse of the dollar. Around the end of June 2010, or early July, he says,  the U.S. will break into six pieces &#8212; with Alaska reverting to Russian  control.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span><span style=\"font-family: Arial;\">In addition to increasing coverage in state media, which are  tightly controlled by the Kremlin, Mr. Panarin&#8217;s ideas are now being widely  discussed among local experts&#8230;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span><span style=\"font-family: Arial;\">Mr. Panarin&#8217;s apocalyptic vision &#8220;reflects a very pronounced  degree of anti-Americanism in Russia today,&#8221; says Vladimir Pozner, a prominent  TV journalist in Russia. &#8220;It&#8217;s much stronger than it was in the Soviet  Union.&#8221;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span><span style=\"font-family: Arial;\">Mr. Pozner and other Russian commentators and experts on the  U.S. dismiss Mr. Panarin&#8217;s predictions. &#8220;Crazy ideas are not usually discussed  by serious people,&#8221; says Sergei Rogov, director of the government-run Institute  for U.S. and Canadian Studies, who thinks Mr. Panarin&#8217;s theories don&#8217;t hold  water&#8230;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span><span style=\"font-family: Arial;\">At the end of the presentation, he says many delegates asked  him to autograph copies of the map showing a dismembered U.S.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span><span style=\"font-family: Arial;\">He based the forecast on classified data supplied to him by  FAPSI analysts, he says. He predicts that economic, financial and demographic  trends will provoke a political and social crisis in the U.S. When the going  gets tough, he says, wealthier states will withhold funds from the federal  government and effectively secede from the union. Social unrest up to and  including a civil war will follow. The U.S. will then split along ethnic lines,  and foreign powers will move in.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span><span style=\"font-family: Arial;\">California will form the nucleus of what he calls &#8220;The  Californian Republic,&#8221; and will be part of China or under Chinese influence.  Texas will be the heart of &#8220;The Texas Republic,&#8221; a cluster of states that will  go to Mexico or fall under Mexican influence. Washington, D.C., and New York  will be part of an &#8220;Atlantic America&#8221; that may join the European Union. Canada  will grab a group of Northern states Prof. Panarin calls &#8220;The Central North  American Republic.&#8221; Hawaii, he suggests, will be a protectorate of Japan or  China, and Alaska will be subsumed into Russia.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span><span style=\"font-family: Arial;\">&#8220;It would be reasonable for Russia to lay claim to Alaska;  it was part of the Russian Empire for a long time.&#8221; A framed satellite image of  the Bering Strait that separates Alaska from Russia like a thread hangs from his  office wall. &#8220;It&#8217;s not there for no reason,&#8221; he says with a sly grin.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span><span style=\"font-family: Arial;\">Interest in his forecast revived this fall when he published  an article in Izvestia, one of Russia&#8217;s biggest national dailies. In it, he  reiterated his theory, called U.S. foreign debt &#8220;a pyramid scheme,&#8221; and  predicted China and Russia would usurp Washington&#8217;s role as a global financial  regulator.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span><span style=\"font-family: Arial;\">Americans hope President-elect Barack Obama &#8220;can work  miracles,&#8221; he wrote. &#8220;But when spring comes, it will be clear that there are no  miracles.&#8221; <\/span><\/span><span><a title=\"http:\/\/online.wsj.com\/article\/SB123051100709638419.html\" href=\"http:\/\/online.wsj.com\/article\/SB123051100709638419.html\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial;\">http:\/\/online.wsj.com\/article\/SB123051100709638419.html<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Of course, the Russian professor is in error.\u00a0 But the idea that the USA&#8217;s days are numbered is starting to be recognized by more and more around the world.\u00a0 It is also true that Mexico is likely to get some additional territory once the USA is gone (though I generally do not agree with the professor&#8217;s assessment of the USA split as he proposed as the Bible indicates more of an annihilation of many parts, which would also affect Canada).<\/p>\n<p>Once past a certain debt tipping point, the USA will be no more per Habakkuk 2:6-8 and invaded and divided per Daniel 11:39.\u00a0 As I have quoted Habakkuk 2 many times here recently, let&#8217;s focus a bit more on Daniel 11:39 today.\u00a0 Notice what God inspired Daniel to write:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Thus he shall act against the strongest fortresses with a foreign god, which he shall acknowledge, and advance its glory; and he shall cause them to rule over many, and divide the land for gain (Daniel 11:39).<\/p>\n<p>The &#8220;he&#8221; above is the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cogwriter.com\/kingofthenorth.htm\">King of the North<\/a>. The United States (and to a lessor degree, its Anglo-allies) has the &#8220;strongest fortresses&#8221; (the strongest military) in the world today.\u00a0 I have speculated in the past that the &#8220;foreign god&#8221; is a new religious order of a more ecumenical form of Catholicism.\u00a0 And notice that the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cogwriter.com\/kingofthenorth.htm\">King of the North<\/a> is to &#8220;divide the land for gain&#8221; (though not quite as the Russian professor has laid out&#8211;as much of the current USA will be dominated by, not simply a part of, the final European Beast power).<\/p>\n<p><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:WordDocument> <w:View>Normal<\/w:View> <w:Zoom>0<\/w:Zoom> <w:PunctuationKerning \/> <w:ValidateAgainstSchemas \/> <w:SaveIfXMLInvalid>false<\/w:SaveIfXMLInvalid> <w:IgnoreMixedContent>false<\/w:IgnoreMixedContent> <w:AlwaysShowPlaceholderText>false<\/w:AlwaysShowPlaceholderText> <w:Compatibility> <w:BreakWrappedTables \/> <w:SnapToGridInCell \/> <w:WrapTextWithPunct \/> <w:UseAsianBreakRules \/> <w:DontGrowAutofit \/> <\/w:Compatibility> <w:BrowserLevel>MicrosoftInternetExplorer4<\/w:BrowserLevel> <\/w:WordDocument> <\/xml><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:LatentStyles DefLockedState=\"false\" LatentStyleCount=\"156\"> <\/w:LatentStyles> <\/xml><![endif]--><!--[if !mso]><span class=\"mceItemObject\"   classid=\"clsid:38481807-CA0E-42D2-BF39-B33AF135CC4D\" id=ieooui><\/span>\n\n\n\n<style>\nst1\\:*{behavior:url(#ieooui) }\n<\/style>\n\n<![endif]--> <!--[if gte mso 10]>\n\n\n\n<style>\n \/* Style Definitions *\/\n table.MsoNormalTable\n\t{mso-style-name:\"Table Normal\";\n\tmso-tstyle-rowband-size:0;\n\tmso-tstyle-colband-size:0;\n\tmso-style-noshow:yes;\n\tmso-style-parent:\"\";\n\tmso-padding-alt:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt;\n\tmso-para-margin:0in;\n\tmso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt;\n\tmso-pagination:widow-orphan;\n\tfont-size:10.0pt;\n\tfont-family:\"Times New Roman\";\n\tmso-ansi-language:#0400;\n\tmso-fareast-language:#0400;\n\tmso-bidi-language:#0400;}\n<\/style>\n\n<![endif]--><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">In Lamentations 4:16, the Bible states:<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-indent: 0.5in; padding-left: 30px;\">The face of the LORD scattered them; He no longer regards them.<\/p>\n<p>The term translated as \u201cscattered them\u201d is the same Hebrew word (<em>Strong\u2019s <\/em>2505) used in vs. Daniel 11:39 translated as \u201cdivide\u201d. It is also the same word used in Ezekiel 5:1-4 where the hair (apparently representing the U.S.A., etc.) is divided.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, look at Lamentations 5:4-8:<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-left: 0.5in;\">4 We pay for the water we drink, And our wood comes at a price. 5 They pursue at our heels; We labor and have no rest. 6 We have given our hand to the Egyptians And the Assyrians, to be satisfied with bread. 7 Our fathers sinned and are no more, But we bear their iniquities. 8 Servants rule over us; There is none to deliver us from their hand\u201d.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Notice that the above passage mentions Assyria, which is who God will use to punish the certain descendants of Israel, such as the U.S.A., etc.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">It may be of some interest to note that the Hebrew word translated as \u201cgain\u201d (<em>Strong\u2019s <\/em>4242) in Daniel 11:39 is the term translated as \u201cprice\u201d in Lamentations 5:4. The word translated as \u201crule over them\u201d in v. 8, is the same Hebrew word that is translated as \u201crule over many\u201d (<em>Strong\u2019s<\/em> 4910) in Daniel 11:39. Although this is not totally conclusive, Lamentations 5 is further scriptural evidence that the United States, etc. may be attacked in Daniel 11:39.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">And that is when the Great Tribulation would begin. This is the time of Jacob\u2019s trouble\u201d (Jeremiah 30:7).<\/p>\n<p>For those who disbelieve that the Europeans can do this, notice that the Bible states that the Assyrians, whose descendants are in Europe, will not intend to destroy, but will do it anyway:<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left: 0.5in;\">5 Woe to Assyria, the rod of My anger<br \/>\nAnd the staff in whose hand is My indignation.<br \/>\n6 I will send him against an ungodly nation,<br \/>\nAnd against the people of My wrath<br \/>\nI will give him charge,<br \/>\nTo seize the spoil, to take the prey,<br \/>\nAnd to tread them down like the mire of the streets.<br \/>\n7 Yet he does not mean so,<br \/>\nNor does his heart think so;<br \/>\nBut it is in his heart to destroy,<br \/>\nAnd cut off not a few nations (Isaiah 10:5-7).<\/p>\n<p>Thus, despite not intending to destroy, the Europeans will.<\/p>\n<p>And while the end of the USA and its Anglo-allies is coming, it will not be quite as the Russian professor stated (it will be worse).\u00a0 Nor can the end come in 2009 or 2010, but it may just a few years later.<\/p>\n<p><em>Several articles of possibly related interest may include:<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cogwriter.com\/news\/prophecy\/why-prophecy-because-the-world-will-not-end-next-week\">Why Prophecy?
