(Vladimir Putin, right, with his Iranian counterpart Hassan Rouhani in 2014.) Iran is ditching the dollar. Iran is no longer using the US dollar in foreign-trade transactions and is replacing it with other currencies, t he deputy governor at the Iranian Central Bank Gholami Kamyab said, according to Sputnik News.
"In trade exchanges with the foreign countries, Iran uses other currencies including Chinese yuan, euro, Turkish lira, Russian ruble, and South Korean won," Kamyab reportedly said. He also reportedly added that Iran was considering bilateral currency-swap agreements, which would allow partners to exchange one foreign currency for the equivalent in the other currency. He did not explicitly name partners, however.
Although nuclear sanctions imposed on Iran over the years are meant to deter the state from building up its nuclear-arms program, they could also be the catalyst that is pushing Iran to look for new economic partners.

Ezekiel goes on to predict that this invasion will be disastrous for Iran and Russia and its coalition nations. G-d himself shall send earthquakes, pestilence, and other natural disasters causing all the coalition nations to fight each other until all are almost destroyed...

Vladimir Putin, right, with his Iranian counterpart Hassan Rouhani in 2014 …Given the level of control Putin exercises over Russia, his actual Iranian counterpart is Ali Khamenei. He is no puppet leader; he’s the puppet master.

China, Russia, Iran and one other country are resisting american petro dollars. That is the real threat to “ US interests “, its financial interests. Note the public is never told what specific interests are threatened. And yes, true north is Turkey, not Russia’
Ezekiel 38-39 also predict that the isles will be shaken (the isles, those who dwell safely in far off coast).
As if Iran had the ability to ditch the dollar at all.
Does Ezekiel 38 say that all of these things are going to occur early in the 21st century?
No. No one knows the day or the hour. However when we see the stars align, we can guess that it is close. That is how a few people knew that Jesus was coming soon the first time (Magi from Babylon, Simeon, Anna, Mary, Joseph, Zechariah, Elizabeth, even Herod’s Jewish councilors.)
Isn’t that why we went to war with Iraq the second time? Didn’t Saddam Hussein create an Oil Bourse trading in Euros? Weren’t the Germans and French involved in this?
Josephus and other Jewish historians placed Gog/Magog in the land of the Scythians (Ukraine/Southern Russia).
