The Russians Are Coming!

The Magog Identity
Hesiod, ''the father of Greek didactic poetry,'' identified Magog with the Scythians and southern Russia in the 7th century B.C.

Herodotus of Harlicarnassus, known as the ''Father of History,'' wrote extensively about the descendants of Magog by their Greek name, the Scythians, in the 5th century B.C. Flavius Josephus records that Magogians were called ''Scythians'' by the Greeks. Philo, in the 1st century, identifies Magog with southern Russia.


Daniel's 4th and Final Kingdom
Dan 2:41 And whereas thou sawest the feet and toes, part of potters' clay, and part of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; but there shall be in it of the strength of the iron

Russia was once called the "Iron Curtain" and they are known for producing the unique Russian Iron. The Soviet Union was divided in 1991 but still has the strength of the iron in it.

Daniel 7:9 Then I would know the truth of the fourth beast, which was diverse from all the others, exceeding dreadful, whose teeth were of iron, and his nails of brass; which devoured, brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with his feet.

"Diverse from all others". Due to Daniel's prophecy of the the increase in knowledge at the end time - this part of the prophecy is already fulfilled.

"Stamped the residue with his feet" - the residue stands for Israel.

Joel 2:20 But I will remove far off from you the northern army, and will drive him into a land barren and desolate

The Sickle and Wheat (Harvest) Symbols of Russia
Joel 3:13 Put ye in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe: come, get you down.
Matthew 13:39 The harvest is the end of the world

Last Dash to the South
Vladimir Zhirinovsky - A Russian Politician who is supported by the Russian military, is very anti-Semitic. A quotation from his own book reads:

"Let Russia successfully accomplish its last 'dash' to the south. I see Russian soldiers gathering for this last southern campaign ... I see planes at air bases in the southern districts of Russia. I see submarines surfacing off the shores of the Indian Ocean and landing crafts approaching shores where soldiers of the Russian Army are already marching.... Infantry combat vehicles are advancing and vast numbers of tanks are on the move. Russia is at last accomplishing its final military campaign."

Russian Military Movements
In 2006 Russia successfully launched three new military satellites. The world watches Iran and North Korea but nobody seems to notice the King of the North which will fulfill Ezekiel and Daniel's prophetic words in the final world war.

Zechariah 14:2 For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city.

Ezekiel 38:15 And thou shalt come from thy place out of the north parts, thou, and many people with thee, all of them riding upon horses, a great company, and a mighty army: And thou shalt come up against my people of Israel, as a cloud to cover the land; it shall be in the latter days, and I will bring thee against my land, that the heathen may know me, when I shall be sanctified in thee, O Gog, before their eyes. Ezekiel 38:10-13: Thus saith the Lord GOD; It shall also come to pass, that at the same time shall things come into thy mind, and thou shalt think an evil thought: And thou shalt say, 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, To take a spoil, and to take a prey; to turn thine hand upon the desolate places that are now inhabited, and upon the people that are gathered out of the nations, which have gotten cattle and goods, that dwell in the midst of the land. Sheba, and Dedan, and the merchants of Tarshish, with all the young lions thereof, shall say unto thee, Art thou come to take a spoil? hast thou gathered thy company to take a prey? to carry away silver and gold, to take away cattle and goods, to take a great spoil? So the plans and ambitions of Russia are already known. Will we take heed to the bible? The most important thing is for every man to save himself by obedience to God's word as spoken by Peter in Acts 2:38-41. Safety is of the Lord. If a man or nation follow God, then even his enemies will be at peace with him. Again, every nation that forgets God will be cast into hell, and nations are but men. May God give peace to all men and eternal life to them that seek him, in spirit and in truth.
