COINCIDENCE?

History contains some strange events. Take 1953 for example. In February of that year, the brutal dictator Joseph Stalin had announced a plan of his devilish concoction. The plan concerned the Jews in Soviet Russia. Stalin planned to get rid of them. (Remember, this would be just a few years after the Holocaust in Nazi Germany killed millions of Jews in Europe.)

Stalin called in 25 members of the Soviet Presidium in February 1953, and announced that he planned to send all Russian Jews  a designated place more than 3,000 miles Moscow. He told the group that he was doing this because of his "discovery" of a Jewish plot against the Soviet Union and against him personally.

We know that dictators are like some preachers; they stand six feet above contradiction. But one man at the meeting, V. M. Molotov, the Soviet Foreign Minister–who had a Jewish wife–said in a trembling voice that such deportation would have a deplorable effect on world opinion.

This was a bold move and an even bolder statement against the dictator whose name means "Steel." Tyrants are accustomed to unanimous votes. When Stalin made a pronouncement, the expected response was, "So let it be written. So let it be done."

Marshal Voroshilov threw his Communist Party card on the table and said: “If such a step is taken, I would be ashamed to remain a member of our party, which will be completely dishonored."

Now there were two brazen souls in the room, both opposing Stalin to his face and in front of others. This was intolerable. In the past, anyone who dared to do such a thing went to prison, to a slave labor camp, or disappeared. You can imagine the dictator's reaction: Stalin was in a rage of uncontrollable anger.  

Stalin didn't speak; he roared: “It is I who will decide when you no longer have the right to keep your membership card.”

Those who were there revealed later that the meeting fell into an uproar. Then a strange thing happened: Stalin fell to the floor, stricken. Lavrenti Beria, the chief of the secret police, jumped to his feet, danced around Stalin’s prostrate form, and shouted, “We are free. Finally! finally!” The doctors arrived a few minutes later and the dictator was taken to his private rooms.

That was February 1953. In less than 30 days, on March 5, 1953, Stalin died. The deportation of the Jews never happened.

Coincidence? Not according to the Abrahamic, the Palestinian, the Davidic, and the New Covenants. According to those promises and those given in the prophets and the Psalms to Israel, Israel is indestructible.

Again, the question. Coincidence? No way!
