Prophecy Update: Gog is Rising! 7/28/2021
This past week saw some dramatic advances towards the fulfillment of Ezekiel 38+39. All prophecy teachers are examining the relationship between Russia and Iran as a last days sign. It has been a dramatic ride from 1979 to today. I want to step back and look at some important events in the life of Russia as the Soviet Union first. Some interesting parallels to our current situation happened in the life of the communist domination of Russia.
The Soviet Union banned the Bible in 1931. You could not own or publish the Bible. The ungodliness of atheistic communism is with us today as it was in Russia in 1931. In 1934, they joined the League of Nations. America never joined the League of Nations, the first globalist attempt at world government. During WW2, the United States joined the Soviet Union to defeat Hitler’s Germany. This compromise with evil is a pattern for what the nations will do with the Antichrist. The United States compromised when we joined the United Nations! The Soviet Union tested its first atomic bomb in 1949. In 1972, they restricted Jews from leaving the country. In 1987, the USSR opens an embassy in Israel. The USSR ceased to exist on December 21, 1991. In all of the years of the Soviet Union, the patterns for the future antichrist government were established: a one world government, rejecting the Bible, and rescinding personal freedom.
“Between 1989 and 2006, about 1.6 million Soviet Jews and their non-Jewish relatives and spouses, as defined by the Law of Return, emigrated from the former Soviet Union.” en.wikipedia.org God was fulfilling His promise to bring His people back to the land of Israel from the north. Russia today has a law that says the Jews from Russia are still Russian and they have claim to the land where Russians live. This is an ominous law for Israel!
“December 2007: Israel denounced on Friday a Russian invitation to the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) to Moscow for talks, slamming it as a “stab in the back”, local Israeli newspaper Ha`aretz reported. (Angola Press)” raptureready.com Russia has been an ally of Iran, Syria, Hezbollah, and Hamas, which spells trouble for Israel. The question all prophecy teachers have been asking the last 20 years has been; when will Russia turn on Israel?
“March 24, 2008: Russia backs the move toward Palestinian unity made by Fatah and Hamas, the Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement on Monday. (RIA Novosti)” Since the early 2000’s, Russia has steadily built a relationship with the nations that will attack Israel according to Ezekiel 38+39.
“Iran’s first nuclear power plant, the Bushehr I reactor, was completed with major assistance from the Russian government agency Rosatom and officially opened on 12 September 2011. The Russian engineering contractor Atomenergoprom said the Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant would reach full capacity by the end of 2012. Iran has also announced that it is working on a new 360 megawatt Darkhovin Nuclear Power Plant, and that it will seek more medium-sized nuclear power plants and uranium mines in the future.” en.wikipedia.org
2015: This is Big! Iran has held a series of meetings with a group of six countries: China, France, Germany, Russia, United Kingdom, United States. These six nations are known as the P5+1 (the permanent five members of the UN Security Council plus Germany) President Obama forced a deal with Iran that undermined and threatened Israel. When this passed in 2015, the USA cursed Israel. That same thing is happening today! The Biden administration is bound and determined to return to the Iran deal. President Trump blessed Israel when he declared Jerusalem the eternal capital of Israel and vacated the Iran deal. This obsession from the Biden Administration has emboldened the Russians to consider confronting Israel!
“In 2015, they formed the Russia-Syria-Iran-Iraq security coalition (RSII), and its members established two operation headquarters in Damascus and Baghdad. The Iranian-Russian cooperation in Iraq immediately went beyond intelligence sharing, when Russian air forces and Iran-backed Shi’a militias started to confront ISIS across the Iraqi-Syrian border. This was a strategic move that severely undermined ISIS’ logistic capacity to transfer its fighters from Syria to Iraq, and vice-versa.” blogs.lse.ac.uk
“2015: As of September, Russia has increased its presence taken a strong stand in Syria, with troops fighter jets, boots on the ground and more. On the day before Russia started its first bombing raid, Mr. Putin met President Obama at the UN and said Russia will not tolerate Israeli strikes inside Syria. The next day, a Russian General showed up at the American Embassy in Baghdad and said, “We launch Syria air strikes in one hour. Stay out of the way.” Russia is trying to guard her allies against Israeli and U.S. interference. All of this is leading to what will ultimately be the prophesied battle of Ezekiel 38 and 39. 2016: Iran-Russia relations have reached an unprecedented peak, fueled by military cooperation in Syria, a shared vision of the global order, and mutual criticism of Western policy in the Middle East. Tehran is a useful ally to Moscow in a highly unstable region, but it is just one thread in Moscow’s patchwork of important relationships that need careful balancing.” raptureready.com
As you can see, 2015 is the most important date towards the development towards the fulfillment of Ezekiel 38+39. Russia took up residence on Israel northern border for good. They have built army, air force, and naval bases for the future war with Israel. The major uptick happened last week when this happened:
“Report: Russia helping Syria thwart Israeli attacks. Russia assisted Syria’s aerial defense system in thwarting an Israeli attack near the city of Homs in western Syria, a senior Russian military official said Saturday. Rear Adm. Vadim Kulit, who heads the Russian military’s Reconciliation Center in Syria, was quoted by Russia’s state-owned TASS news agency as saying Russia’s advanced BUK-M2E missile system intercepted eight missiles fired by Israeli F-16 jets. A Russian source told the London-based pan-Arab newspaper Asharq Al-Awsat Moscow had already begun to aid the Assad regime in “closing off Syrian airspace to Israeli planes.” israelhayom.com
This is the first time that Russia has officially entered the fight with Iran against Israel. This move by the Russians was encouraged by Biden and his Obama hold overs.
“The senior Russian official said, “The decision is directly tied to summit talks between [Russian] President [Vladimir] Putin and US President [Joe] Biden last month.” The source claimed Washington did not approve of continued Israelis strikes on Syria and that Russia had received authorization from the US administration for the move. “Moscow was cautious in its actions against Israeli aggression against its ally in Syria because Israel has a direct line of communication with Washington and carried out all of its moves in coordination with it. Now that Russia has a direct line of communication with the Americans, we’ve succeeded in confirming Washington does not give its blessing to its attacks,” the Russian source said.” israelhayom.com
The Biden Administration has forcefully pushed Israel to give up Judea, Samaria, Golan Heights, and stop defending themselves from the Iranians in Syria. The lame excuse is that every time Israel bombs in Syria, it hurts Biden’s chances for a new deal with the Iranians. The Israeli government is now run by those wishing to please Biden, this weakness will lead to Russian aggression!
“Chess great Kasparov urges US to end nuke talks with ‘terrorist’ Iran. “Terror regimes should be isolated and their leaders should be treated like the criminals they are,” Kasparov said. “That is how can you support the people and the victims of these regimes. Instead, the United States is repeating a terrible mistake by negotiating with Iran’s leaders in Vienna. These negotiations are a waste of time except for Iran’s leaders. Kasparov, who is the chairman of the Human Rights Foundation, an organization devoted to democracy promotion and combating totalitarian regimes such as Vladimir Putin’s Russian administration, called Iran an “illegitimate regime” that has no “authority from the people.” jpost.com
Let me remind you who Russia is in bed with. Iran still preaches that Israel is the little Satan and the USA is the big Satan. The Palestinian Authority agrees with Iran that Israel is the little Satan and that they have an obligation to Allah to destroy Israel. Hamas, Hezbollah, and Russia are all in agreement on this. It is a Grace of God that Russia was restrained the last 5 years from attacking Israel, they are restrained no more!!
“Putin brags of hypersonic nukes that ‘can locate any enemy and inflict inevitable strike’– Russian President Vladimir Putin boasted about Russia’s nuclear-capable hypersonic weapons on Sunday during a large-scale parade for the Russian Navy in his hometown of St. Petersburg. Putin said, “Russia, in the shortest possible time, took its rightful place among the leading maritime powers, went through a colossal path of development from a modest Petrovsky boat to powerful ships of the ocean zone and nuclear-powered missile submarines, acquired effective long-range and short-range naval aviation, reliable coastal defense systems and the latest hypersonic high-precision weapons systems that still have no analogs in the world, which we are constantly and successfully improving.” americanmilitarynews.com
The Russians are very clear with the USA that they can nuke us at anytime and we cannot stop them. When Biden became President, the deterrence of Donald Trump as a protector of Israel went away. Aggression from the Russians is the flavor of the day. Biden exudes weakness and strong men will become more aggressive. This will lead to the Gog Magog War!
“Defense Minister in interview with BBC in Persian: The Iranian regime is spending billions of dollars on nuclear project instead of worrying about food, electricity and fight against COVID-19. The Iranian nuclear project is a threat to world peace and the peace of the region, and also to the security of the State of Israel.” israelnationalnews.com
An important point to keep in mind is that the USA has to be out of the way because Israel will have to trust in God alone for the victory in the Gog Magog war. This is reiterated in Ezekiel 39:
“And you, son of man, prophesy against Gog and say, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD, “Behold, I am against you, O Gog, prince of Rosh, Meshech and Tubal; and I will turn you around, drive you on, take you up from the remotest parts of the north and bring you against the mountains of Israel. I will strike your bow from your left hand and dash down your arrows from your right hand. You will fall on the mountains of Israel, you and all your troops and the peoples who are with you; I will give you as food to every kind of predatory bird and beast of the field. You will fall on the open field; for it is I who have spoken,” declares the Lord GOD.”
Ezekiel 39:1-5
As you can see, God will get the victory, not America, not the Israeli defense force, not the UN, and no one else will steal God’s glory in this victory!
“Secret Iran hacking plans against West revealed. Five secret documents allegedly showing Iranian plans to hack infrastructure in Western countries, including in Europe, were publicized by Sky News on Monday. Another Iranian plot might be to hack the automatic tank gage of certain gas stations, which could stop the flow of gas or, in a worst-case scenario, cause an explosion, the report said.” jpost.com
Many prophecy teachers have speculated that it is possible that Iran and Russia attack America first before the Gog Magog War. I do not know if that is true, but I do know that Iran ahs been at war with us since 1979. They have directly killed American soldiers in the wars of the middle East, they have killed Americans in terrorist strikes across the globe, including the United States, and they threaten every day that they will have a world without the United States. If they team up with Russia to launch a nuclear strike in the form of electro magnetic pulse bombs along with limited short range nukes launched from shipping containers (called special K cars) I would not be surprised. Russia developed the special k car to launch a sneak attack on the USA. The third part of the equation that military experts have talked about is China. If China helped Russia and Iran to launch a Pearl Harbor attack on America, they have written of their fear of such a thing happening. We have no fear as Christians because the Lord our God runs the universe and nothing can happen unless He allows it. He told us to Fear Not!!
Bible Prophecy is coming to pass in our day, look up for your redemption draws nigh!!
