Iran, Russia and Ezekiel

Iran, Russia and Ezekiel

One of the highlights of President Bush's State of the Union speech was his jab at the far Left, reminding them that "hindsight is not wisdom and second guessing was not a strategy."

Nowhere is that truth more evident than when considering our next move in the nuclear stand-off with the mad mullahs of Iran.

Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad responded to Bush's promise to defend Israel by mocking the West, telling a crowd of thousands near Bushehr; "I am telling those fake superpowers that the Iranian nation became independent 27 years ago and ... on the nuclear case, it will resist until fully achieving its rights."

Ahmadinejad's war talk has even started to make the Russians and Chinese nervous.

The Russians realize that they helped let the nuclear genie out of the bottle, but they didn't expect to find themselves joining the effort to try and stuff it back in. The Security Council's five permanent members, including a reluctant Russia and China, have asked the U.N. nuclear watchdog to report Iran to New York "immediately."

The IAEA said in a confidential report last week that Iran had already begun preparing for uranium enrichment. Tehran makes no effort to deny its connection with what it calls "resistance groups" or "liberation movements" like Hezbollah or Hamas.

Ahmadinejad just concluded a meeting in Damascus with leaders of Hezbollah, Palestinian Jihad, Hamas, and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine on January 20th.

At that meeting, Ahmadinejad reminded the Muslim world that "continued resistance" is the "only way" to end "the occupation of the holy Islamic lands" by Israel.

In remarks commemorating the 27th anniversary of the Islamic Revolution last week, Ahmadinejad promised Israel 'will be removed.'

"We ask the West to remove what they created sixty years ago and if they do not listen to our recommendations, then the Palestinian nation and other nations will eventually do this for them. . . . Do the removal of Israel before it is too late and save yourself from the fury of regional nations," he thundered.

Ahamdinejad also reportedly said that while giving an address to the UN he underwent a 'mystical experience' that convinced him that the great end-times Islamic war against the infidels was at hand, and that it fell to Ahmadinejad to 'kick things off' if necessary.

(It was probably when Ahmadinejad started seeing halos and getting fuzzy spiritual experiences about starting the Islamic end of the world that Moscow began to have second thoughts about its Iranian nuclear program.)

The Hebrew prophet Ezekiel, writing from his vantage point in history, circa 537 BC, predicted that in the last days, there would be a great war involving not only Islam, but dragging an unwilling Moscow along for the ride, as if God had put 'hooks in its jaws', the prophet said.

Leading the Islamic alliance, according to Ezekiel, is Persia, (modern Iran). Together with the Islamic nations of North Africa and the Mediterranean Middle East, Ezekiel says they will constitute an invasion force that will move against the nation of Israel.

In Ezekiel's day, there had been no nation called 'Israel' for almost two centuries and no sovereign nation called Israel would exist for another 2500 years.

Today, in 2006, Israel exists, as Ezekiel predicted. Iran, [Persia] is Israel's sworn enemy, as Ezekiel predicted. The Islamic world is poised, waiting for an excuse to wipe Israel off the map, as Ahmadinejad is promising to do if Iran obtains nuclear weapons.

Israel, facing the potential of annihilation at the hands of a nuclear Iran, will have to take action to stop the Iranians as a matter of national survival.

Can someone tell me where this is in the bible? I should remember reading it.

Thanks

Ezekiel 38 & 39. Many of us believe we are nearly there.

Gog, was Joels son. Rosh was Jacobs grandson, Meshech and Tubal and Magog were Noahs grandsons. What does this have to do with Russia? The bible says they were merchants. This writing is most likely talking about a merchant type of people.

Charlie,

I'm not the best person to answer your question on that one. I read on here that Russia was considered the most likely candidate for Magog, so I did a google search on Gog and Magog and I read several different interpretations of what this passage could mean, like who the different countries are, so Russia is just one interpretation. It does seem to be the one most favored, but there are many others floating around out there. If you want to find out why Russia, I would suggest going through the same process as I did, read commentaries, etc. Most of all, pray and ask the Lord what he thinks. He knows best!

Everything tends to be falling into place for the Northern Confederacy under Russia, plus the Kings of the East (from across a then-dried-up Euphrates River) to pounce on tiny Israel as recorded in Ezekiel 38 & 39. It's fascinating indeed that the very NAMES of involved nations are given in Chapter 38. Yes, it's true that God warns He will bring Russia down as with hooks in her jaws! Why knock it?

Arthur,

I agree! Charlie has asked how we know that Magog is Russia. I have read varying opinions on this. Do you have a reference you could share with us that shows how you concluded that Magog is Russia? Would you share it with us? Thanks!
