Greetings from Moscow, spring is here and it is a great relief from winter. On May 9th all over Russia celebrated Victory Day. It was the 65 anniversary of the World War 2 victory. A huge parade on Red Square where soldiers from all the nations (America included) that were apart of that great end to the world war marched together. A total of 161 tanks and other vehicles rolled through the Square on Sunday morning while over 120 various types of aircrafts flew above. In total, more than 102,000 Russian troops participated in military parades around the country. Among the foreign leaders who attend the Red Square parade were, German Chancellor Angela Merkel and Chinese President Hu Jintao. To insure that the sky's would be sunny Mayor Yuri Luzhkov had special air craft circle the out skirts of Moscow and seed the clouds with dry ice and silver #@*? and kept the skies blue during the 65th anniversary. What a great price that was paid by the Russian people as they defended their Mother Land. However there is a greater battle that has been waged against mankind from time of the Garden of Eden, a spiritual battle that continues relentlessly day in and day out that rages against the soles and minds of God’s creation. The Apostle Paul when addressing this foe said Eph 6:12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Jesus Himself spoke Mt 10:28 "And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. Joh 10:10 "The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly. We who have put our trust in Christ also have a Day of Victory that we celebrate. A Victory that was won over death and the grave 2000 years ago through the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ the Son of God.
