Russia has warned Israel and the West that an attack on Tehran would be considered an attack on Moscow. This threat signifies a red alert for the prospect of the scenario prophesied for Magog in Ezekiel 38. Russia, throughout the ongoing Iranian crisis has been playing precisely the prophesied role that it would play in the Last Days. Ezekiel 38 portrays Russia (Magog) as being a “guard” unto her ally clients in the Middle East quagmire. (Ezekiel 38:7Be thou prepared, and prepare for thyself, thou, and all thy company that are assembled unto thee, and be thou a “guard” unto them.) A guard in this scenario is describing a defender and protecting overseer. This is exactly the geo-political strategy Russia is utilizing with Iran, and that strategy involves countering the US-Western strategy of manipulating the Arab-Palestinian issue for political and economic power. The Ezekiel 38 scenario that has already begun playing out in the nuclear crisis with Iran, begs the important answer to the questions of the prophetic role that will soon be played by Syria, and the Arab League that is described in the Psalms 83 diplomatic war on Israel, and the Burden of Damascus event revealed in Isaiah 17 and Jeremiah 49. No matter how one interprets these ancient prophecies, the mere fact that Russia is showing its hand reveals that the Tribulation era is near.
Ezekiel 38:1-8 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, Son of man, set thy face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him, And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal: And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws, and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armour, even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords: Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all of them with shield and helmet: Gomer, and all his bands; the house of Togarmah of the north quarters, and all his bands: and many people with thee. Be thou prepared, and prepare for thyself, thou, and all thy company that are assembled unto thee, and be thou a guard unto them. After many days thou shalt be visited: in the latter years thou shalt come into the land that is brought back from the sword, and is gathered out of many people, against the mountains of Israel, which have been always waste: but it is brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell safely all of them.)
One has to analyze the "time for the Magog" invasion. Some scholars place it in a pre-trib scenario. That is certainly possible. But, I personally believe the Magog invasion is a Tribulation era war, along with the Chinese invasion from the East against the powers of the Antichrist. Ezekiel 38 shows that Magog has certain allies, among them being Libya, Ethiopia, Gomer, Togarmah, and of course Persia, which is Iran. This listing suspiciously does not mention Russia's other longstanding Mideast client proxy, although lately via Iran, and that is Syria. That begs the question, why isn’t it listed here in this assault? I believe it is because there is another major war, involving the existing terror machines that operate out of Syria, before the Magog coalition war theatre. That interim war will involve the Antichrist, or more likely the rising Ten Kings of the global government, usurpation of Syria from the Iran Axis. Of course, Iran, with a nodding approval of Russia and China uses asymmetrical style warfare against Israel and the West via the multi-networked morass of terror machines out of Damascus. Damascus is merely a pawn in the hands of Iran, and soon the Western/Arab League will seek to eliminate the terror elements located there via the scheme of the Democracy utopia being pushed currently by the US-EU.
I would also highlight the fact that Russia (and China) has aided and abetted the Iranian nuclear program for one reason, and that is to bring pressure to bear in the Global Government discussions over disarmament and non-proliferation, when it is widely believed that Israel is a rogue non-member state that possesses nuclear weapons. Whereas Russia was unable to supply and facilitate their former Soviet clients in the Arab world sufficiently enough for them to defeat Israel in a conventional war scenario, they now are playing the nuclear nutshell game with the US over a solution to the Israeli nuke problem. The eventual Antichrist will have to overcome this dilemna, but that a dynamic resolution to the war-on-terror. Remember, the Antichrist will eventually guarantee peace and safety to all the parties of the Middle East, through the Global government empowerment.
The mere fact that Russia is sending such a diplomatic signal should serve as a wakeup call to Christians. The last days birth pains surrounding the dynamic of the rebirth of Israel have intensified, and are coming more frequently these days. Look up Christians, your redemption draweth nigh. Beware world, for the King of the Jews is returning!
