Russia.... The Rise of Magog

WOW - Russia is ALL over the place in the headlines! I wanted to give you a brief overview, because I'd have to enter numerous posts to cover this entire topic. I'm including several videos and websites for you to view on your own time.

 Quote from the above article:

"What clues in the prophecy point to modern day Russia as the biblical land of Magog?

Magog is referred to as the land in the north. If you draw a line from Jerusalem all the way to the North Pole, that line will pass through…Moscow. 


  • Gog is referred to as the prince of Meshech and Tubal. 
  • Meschech refers to the ancient peoples who live along the Black and Caspien Seas, the Moschi, or the Moschovites. This is the word from which Moscow is derived. 
  • Tubal is a derivative of the modern word Tobolsk. Tobolsk is the former capital of Russia and one of its most famous cities. 
It is chillingly clear that the ancient land of Magog is modern day Russia. More startling are Russia’s allies as named by Scripture. A quick survey of Ezekiel 38:5-6 and the reader will note:
  • Persia – modern day Iran. It is no secret the role Russia has and is playing in Iran’s nuclear program. Iran is located to the east of Israel. 
  • Cush – modern day Ethiopia. A north African nation located to the south of Israel. 
  • Put – modern day Lybia. Another north African nation and one that has become completely hostile to the West in recent days. 
  • Gomer – while a modern day equivalent here is difficult, biblical scholars agree that the people of Gomer were the Cimmerians, who lived around the Black Sea and were expelled to what is modern day Turkey. So Gomer could be Turkey. However, the ancient Cimmerians lived in what is now known as…Ukraine. We should take particular notice of this as Ukraine has sprung onto the world scene as Russia is on the doorstep of invasion of this sovereign nation. Could Gomer be Ukraine? 
  • Beth-togarmah – this too is not certain but some scholars have suggested Germany as the modern day equivalent of this ancient land. 
The uttermost parts of the north – when one looks at a map of the nations north of Israel they will certainly see Syria, among others. Once again, the role of Russia in Syria is unavoidable.

The point is clear. Russia, the ancient land of Magog, is on the move. The headlines declare it so. The pieces of its coalition are quickly falling into place. And it is this collection of nations, led by the great bear of the north, that will at some point make a move against Israel."

"Andrew Weiss, vice president for Russian and East European studies at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, suggested the confrontation could intensify.

Russia "is really turning its back on the outside world and is basically going to say to the West, 'Now, go ahead. Show us how tough you are.' And the West, I think, is struggling to come with an adequate response.""

Scope out the quote I posted by John Hagee in my post Russia Testing the U.S. - regarding the importance of the alliance of Russia and Iran.

"The United States and the EU imposed travel bans and asset freezes against a number of officals from Russia and Ukraine following Sunday's referendum and U.S. Vice President Joe Biden called Moscow's action a "land grab".

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov told U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry in a telephone call that such sanctions were unacceptable and threatened "consequences", without going into detail."

"In Crimea, heavily armed Russian forces and pro-Russia militia have blocked Ukrainian military at their bases for weeks. Following Sunday's referendum they have moved aggressively to flush the Ukrainians out, storming some ships and military facilities.

The Ukrainian government said it was drawing up plans to evacuate its outnumbered troops from Crimea, but many soldiers remained at their bases awaiting orders."

"With the federal government and Federal Reserve locked into their respective systemic-destructive fiscal and monetary policies, a related, continuing massive loss of global and domestic confidence in the U.S. dollar, should lead to an outright dumping of the U.S. currency in the global markets, setting the initial stages of a hyperinflationary great depression."

"Obama has vowed repeatedly to enact biting sanctions against Russia's vital economic sectors if the Kremlin tries to replicate its actions in Crimea, the peninsula it annexed from Ukraine, elsewhere in the former Soviet republic.

Despite those warnings, Russian President Vladimir Putin appears to be testing Obama's limits, instigating protests in eastern Ukraine, the White House says, and massing tens of thousands of troops on the border, but so far stopping short of a full-scale military incursion."

""They told me that masked men were waiting for Jewish people after the Passover eve prayer, handed them the flier and told them to obey its instructions," he said.

The leaflet begins, "Dear Ukraine citizens of Jewish nationality," and states that all people of Jewish descent over 16 years old must report to the Commissioner for Nationalities in the Donetsk Regional Administration building and "register."

The leaflet then described which documents Jews should provide: "ID and passport are required to register your Jewish religion, religious documents of family members, as well as documents establishing the rights to all real estate property that belongs to you, including vehicles."

Consequences for non-compliance will result in citizenship being revoked "and you will be forced outside the country with a confiscation of property." A registration fee of $50 would be required, it said."

Again - to understand the magnitude of this latest article - you NEED to visit my post from a few days ago Russia Testing the U.S. and read the quote from John Hagee.

  1. CJ - Excellent summary on Ezekiel 38! We are seeing Bible prophecy fulfilled before our very eyes. We are living in such exciting and historical times. If I did not have God's word as my rock and my foundation I would be scared out of my head with the world shaking the way it is! Praise be to God He had told us before hand what is happening and how to prepare for this hour. I love your blog!! It's fantastic!!
