You know what I’m wondering? (And yes, this is just speculation. But who’s to say it COULDN’T occur this way?).
According to most prophecy websites, authors, etc., Russia will supposedly participate in the Ezekiel 38 war as God/Magog. Personally, I’ve always thought Vladimir Putin has read the Bible just like we have, knows what Gog/Magog is about, and was too pragmatic to let it happen while he’s in power, just to go after Israel’s oil and natural gas.
BUT .... what if Turkey looks likely to annihilate Azerbaijan, an ally of Russia (assuming the Commonwealth of Independent States still exists)? Likely, Putin would consider it obligatory to defend an ally, and would be less hesitant to bring his military south, since (in his mind) Russia’s purpose would be defensive, not an “official” attack on Israel.
Thanks for your patience with my ramblings, :-)
Well, crap. All my fine blabbing was for naught. Typed Azerbaijan instead of Armenia. Gah!
Azerbaijan is a Turkey’s proxy state.
“BUT .... what if Turkey looks likely to annihilate Azerbaijan, an ally of Russia (assuming the Commonwealth of Independent States still exists)?”
Why would Turkey want to do that? Turkey is on the side of Azzerbaijan, and is hostile towards Armenia.
