[Jan_Sobieski]

The Bible Predicts that that Russia in the last days will make one last push to control world events. The prophet Ezekiel, in Ezekiel 38-39, predicted 2500 years ago that the country to the extreme north of Israel would lead a coalition invasion of Israel and Palestine. The coalition would be led by a strong ruler who Ezekiel called Gog (Putin is a good candidate with his 80% approval rating). Among the nations that Gog would muster are the following; Iran, Turkey, Trans-caucus States, Sudan, and Libya.

Ezekiel goes on to predict that this invasion will be disastrous for 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...

whoa, sounds like Russia is Magog

They might want to check-in with Russia’s relationship towards Israel these days, it is MUCH BETTER than our relationship with Israel.

[KarlInOhio]

Are they planning to do this or is it typical military contingency planning? In the Pentagon there are probably plans for invading Canada... just in case.

The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity. One of the few lines in "journalism" that bother me.

[buwaya]

Unlikely.
Syria has little left to fight with, particularly manpower, they are hanging on by their fingernails as it is.
And I gather Hezbollah is fully committed in Syria also.

Any time I read “the bible predicts” I quit reading.

Jan.... some writers have said that Russia makes ‘two’ advances toward Israel...the first Russia will be defeated and run back home, the second time Russia will be with a vast army of M. Eastern countries listed.

What you've reverenced is the second push against Israel, as Russia will still have some of it's military strength though greatly weakened....and will be the war of Armageddon...when many nations come to war in the Valley of Jehoshaphat.

“See, Damascus will no longer be a city but will become a heap of ruins.”

Damascus is perhaps the world’s longest continually occupied city. If it gets destroyed that will be a first.

[Mariamante]

Syria is busy defending themselves from NATO trained and American funded ISIS attempting regime change to install their own sock puppets. Why would Syria start a war with Israel?

Unless this is true. Defected Syrian Gen. Tlass says Assad ‘sold Syria to Iran’

I absolutely agree with caww's post, which runs parallel with the theories of Bible scholar and author Bill Salus, as well as many other contemporary scholars.

Salus' arguments are quite logical and based on Biblical scripture.

The Gog and Magog war is a massive war, that will involve many nations, but is believed by many scholars to be led by Russia and Iran.

But first, a proxy war will be fought, by the nations immediately surrounding Israel's borders. Today, Iran and other nations are feeding the proxy war of terrorism being inflicted by the likes of Hezbollah, ISIS, Hamas, and others.

According to the Psalm 83 interpretation, these nations will be defeated by the IDF, and Israel will greatly expand her borders - becoming very close to the original Biblical borders of Israel outlined in the Book of Genesis and the borders achieved by Kind David.

This war IMO might be preceded by the Psalm 83 war (with Isaiah 17 finally being fulfilled).

Christians often disagree on the timing of the Rapture, but it’s hard to argue that any of us will be here in a post-Ezekiel 39 world.

Interesting thank you for posting.

[Lady Heron]

Would not want to be in the Russian army if that happens.

[SauronOfMordor]

Militaries draw up contingency plans for all sorts of things.

[GreenHornet]

Jack Van Impe and Hal Lindsey have both talked about this a lot.

[Jeremiah Jr]

GOG MGOG
Hebrew - Gimel Vav Gimel – Mem Gimel Vav Gimel.

The Hebrew letter ‘Mem’ as a prefix denotes ‘from’ so here it can (and does) mean Gog from Gog, or GeOrGe from GeOrGe.

The Gog wars are the wars of GeOrGe.

Take note! Gog's weapons are already on Israeli soil.

Ezekiel goes on...

A critical portion of this prophecy says that the invasion will occur when Israel is at peace.

“I will go up to the land of unwalled villages; I will go to them that are at rest, that dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates...”

The Security Walls that Israel has built must be taken down before this invasion can take place.

Look for a “false peace” to accomplish this...
