However, let's suppose your Russia and you don't want a war with the US directly, as is played out in Syria, and you wanted to send a strong message to the US...what nation would you ruffle the feathers of?...Israels possibly ?.....since they are one of our footprints in the middle east.
If so...then prophetically some think that Russia will ‘test’ the waters to see what our response might be..not to begin Armageddon but to see what the response will be. Russia of course will go home with it's tail between it's legs for trying because it would bring the US, Britain and France in retaliation......but prophetically some do believe the scriptures speak of ‘two’ attacks by Russia against Israel.
.... This ‘test’ would show Russia they cannot go against Israel ‘alone’......so they'll regroup and ‘develop a plan” whereby at later date they'll come down against Israel with the Muslim hoard...Iran, Turkey....and others will join in as is written of.
The first Russian ‘test’ might also be sufficient to warrant a 7 yr. peace agreement with Israel among the parties involved.....Enough time for Russia to re-group and organize it's own collision with the Islamic hoards.....then attack with them, as is written.
I say this because fear of ISIS type warfare is frightening for any western countries to get involved with in a ground war... and since written that all nations will leave Israel alone to fight, it would make sense......also that the Islamic hoards do indeed have the tendency to turn and fight each other, which will happen during Armageddon as is also written. Further it would have to be a huge army to breach Israels borders to even arrive in the valley of miggedo.
Then of course it's written of another hoard crossing the Euphrates to join them....which I believe would be China....after the Euphrates dam locks/blocks off the flow of the river.
It will play out. I wonder what Anatoly Antonov means by consequences. If they leave Syria now Assad will fall. Turkey is loving this as are all the leftists. We are one or very near the cusp of something terrible. Sure hope I’m wrong and yet there is a part of me that says, let’s get on with this!
