Gog's Coming War

Have you noticed how Russia is in the headlines every day for something?

Do you think it's possible that God is being obvious about setting them up on the world stage because they are going to be a major player in Ezekiel 38?  Of course we believe Russia invades Israel AFTER Jesus comes for His bride in the rapture...so we can chew on that for a while.

Recently, I was listening to a nationally syndicated radio program, and the host made an astonishing observation. She described a recent trip she took to Israel. She talked about looking over the border into Syria. Then she dropped a line that grabbed my attention. She said, “When you look over the border today, you’re not looking at Syria anymore. You’re looking at Russia, Iran, and Turkey.”

This wasn’t a religious broadcast. It was a secular, political talk show. Maybe I’m wrong, but I don’t think the host realized the true significance of her observation. I don’t think she spoke from a perspective of Bible prophecy, and it made her statement even more powerful. Because any objective observer has to agree with her. The nation of Syria no longer exists. It may exist in name, but that’s it. What used to be Syria has been carved up and divided by any number of groups. And the three biggest are Russia, Iran, and Turkey.

Why is this so significant? It’s significant because it sets the stage for an event the Bible prophesied over 2,000 years ago.

The Gog of Magog War

Twenty-six centuries ago, Ezekiel described a last days alliance that will invade Israel from the north. The Bible says a man it refers to as Gog will lead this massive invasion force (Ezekiel 38:2-6). Here are the nations who will join Gog, followed by their modern-day names:

Rosh = Russia

Magog = Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Afghanistan

Persia = Iran

Cush = Sudan

Put = Libya

Meshech, Tubal, Gomer, and Beth-togarmah = Turkey

Notice anything? That’s right. Of all those nations, the three most powerful – Russia, Iran, and Turkey – now reside in Syria. They have military forces camped on Israel’s border. And not just any border – Israel’s northern border. Remember, Ezekiel said the Gog of Magog invasion force will come from the north (Ezekiel 38:15; Ezekiel 39:2). So now we have three of the nations in Gog’s invading force perched on Israel’s northern border. Mere coincidence? I don’t think so.

The Bible foretold this exact scenario in Ezekiel 38-39. Never before have the military forces of these three nations been on Israel’s northern border at the same time. And never in the history of the world have the three formed an alliance. At least that is, until now…

In the past two decades, Russia and Iran have become close allies. In 1995, the Russian Ministry for Atomic Energy signed an agreement with Iran to finish the Bushehr nuclear power plant. This work had stopped following the 1979 Islamic revolution. Since then, the two nations continue to strengthen their economic and military ties. Russia is one of the few world powers that consistently defended the existence of Iran’s nuclear program. Today, both nations freely work together to prop up Bashar Assad’s regime and suppress any opposing factions in Syria. They’ve coordinated military operations in Syria and carved the nation into spheres of influence.

Despite thousands of years of recorded history in which there’s no record of such Russian-Iranian cooperation, today we see it.

Yes!!  For the very first time in human history we have cooperation between Russia, Iran and Turkey!  And they all have some of the armies already sitting in Syria just a stones-throw from Israel's border!

Also today we are reading that Israel had to to fire off it's David's Sling missile defense system in order to stop some missiles fired upon them coming from SYRIA!!

Israel used it’s David Sling interceptor system for the first time on Monday, firing two missiles against SS-21 Tochka tactical ballistic missiles launched from Syria as part of the internal fighting in the war-torn country.

The SS-21 ballistic missiles, which carry a half-ton warhead, were detected by Israel’s aerial defense system when they were fired from south-eastern Syria, and the decision to intercept them was made by the IDF when it was believed that their trajectory would see them fall near the Kinneret in northern Israel.
