There is no question in my mind that the events now transpiring in Russia, China, Europe, and the Middle East are definitely setting the stage for the final war of the Age of the Gentiles, which will eventually terminate with the Second Advent of Christ.
The prophecy of Ezekiel 38 is against a person and a land. The person is Gog, the Antichrist from that part of the once great Assyrian Empire, which extended itself to the immediate north of Israel. The two tribes of Meshech and Tubal occupied the two countries today known as Syria and Lebanon, and their descendants lived there at the time Micah and Isaiah wrote their prophecies. The land is the land of Magog, which is occupied by Russia today.
Ezekiel 38:1,2 – And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, [2] Son of man, set thy face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him,
When Gog, the Antichrist, asks the land of Russia, some three and one-half years after he drives Israel into the Negev, to come down and help him completely destroy Israel, Russia will come down in massive array at Armageddon.
Revelation 16:16 – And he gat
hered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.
At that time the following destruction of all the armies coming against Israel from Europe, Eurasia, China, Asia, the Far East, and Africa, will meet the following fate at the hand of God. At Armageddon no one will be able to rescue the Antichrist Gog, or any of those who attempt to help him, from the wrath of God that awaits them.
Daniel 11:45 to 12:1 – And he shall plant the tabernacles of his palace between the seas in the glorious holy mountain; yet he shall come to his end, and none shall help him. [12] And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.
This scenario of Daniel 12:1 is also described in Ezekiel 38 and 39, as well as following Revelation 16:16.
Ezekiel 38:16 to 39:6 – 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. [17] Thus saith the Lord God; Art thou he of whom I have spoken in old time by my servants the prophets of Israel, which prophesied in those days many years that I would bring thee against them
? [18] And it shall come to pass at the same time when Gog shall come against the land of Israel, saith the Lord God, that my fury shall come up in my face. [19] For in my jealousy and in the fire of my wrath have I spoken, Surely in that day there shall be a great shaking in the land of Israel; [20] So that the fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the heaven, and the beasts of the field, and all creeping things that creep upon the earth, and all the men that are upon the face of the earth, shall shake at my presence, and the mountains shall be thrown down, and the steep places shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground. [21] And I will call for a sword against him throughout all my mountains, saith the Lord God: every man’s sword shall be against his brother. [22] And I will plead against him with pestilence and with blood; and I will rain upon him, and upon his bands, and upon the many people that are with him, an overflowing rain, and great hailstones, fire, and brimstone. [23] Thus will I magnify myself, and sanctify myself; and I will be known in the eyes of many nations, and they shall know that I am the Lord. [1] Therefore, thou son of man, prophesy against Gog, and say, Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal: [2] And I will turn thee back, and leave but the sixth part of thee, and will cause thee to come up from the north parts, and will bring thee upon the mountains of Israel: [3] And I will smite thy bow out of thy left hand, and will cause thine arrows to fall out of thy right hand. [4] Thou shalt fall upon the mountains of Israel, thou, and all thy bands, and the people that is with thee: I will give thee unto the ravenous birds of every sort, and to the beasts of the field to be devoured. [5] Thou shalt fall upon the open field: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord God. [6] And I will send a fire on Magog, and among them that dwell carelessly in the isles: and they shall know that I am the Lord.
Please note the destruction that is rained down by God on the land of Magog (Russia) during all this destruction in verse six. The same event is described immediately following Revelation 16:16.
Revelation 16:16-21 – And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon. [17] And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done. [18] And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great. [19] And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath. [20] And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found. [21] And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent: and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great.
The same event described in Daniel 11:45 to 12:1, Ezekiel 38:16 to 39:6, and Revelation 16:16 to 21, is also described in Mathew 24:21,22 and Revelation 19:11-21.
Matthew 24:21,22 – For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since
the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. [22] And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened.
Revelation 19:11-21 – And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war. [12] His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself. [13] And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God. [14] And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. [15] And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. [16] And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF
KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS. [17] And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God; [18] That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains,
and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great. [19] And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army. [20] And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.
[21] And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh.

Russia’s Medvedev to make landmark visit to Syria
By Agence France Presse (AFP)
Saturday, May 08, 2010
Agence France Presse
MOSCOW: President Dmitry Medvedev will travel to Syria on Monday to tighten ties with the Soviet-era ally on the first ever visit to the country by a Russian or Soviet head of state.
Accompanied by a large business delegation, Medvedev was set to meet President Bashar Assad and possibly oversee the signing of an economic agreement, a spokesman at
the Russian Embassy in Damascus told AFP.
“We are seeking to recover lost ground with old friends,” the spokesman said, speaking on condition of anonymity.
With Russia promoting itself as a major power in the Middle East, Medvedev will follow up the two-day Syria visit with a Turkey stopover for talks with Premier Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
Syria, one of the few countries to back Russia in its war with Georgia
in 2008, is Moscow’s close ally from the Soviet-er
a and a major purchaser of its arms.
During the Cold War, Russia had a naval supply base in the Syrian port of Tartus on the Mediterranean but like with many other former allies, ties weakened after the 1991 disintegration of the Soviet Union.
Medvedev and Assad first met in August 2008, when the Russian president hosted his Syrian counterpart at his Black Sea summer residence in Sochi shortly after Russia’s war with Georgia. Assad said at that time he hoped to strengthen relations with Russia and that Moscow could again become a bulwark against the West and help resist Israeli influence in the Middle East.
Along with the Europe an Union, United N
ations and United States, Russia is a member of the international Quartet seeking peace in the Middle East and has long lobbied to host a Middle East peace conference.
Medvedev’s visit comes days after Washington renewed US sanctions on Syria for a year, accusing it and Iran of supporting “terrorist” groups.
Analysts say Moscow’s influence in the Middle East will in many ways depend on its relations with Syria, an increasingly important regional player with tight ties to Iran and the Lebanese group Hizbullah and Palestinian Islamist group Hamas, which has its political headquarters in Damascus.
Moscow has close ties with Hamas, while Western governments refuse to deal with it, calling it a terrorist group.
Analysts say sanctions against Iran and US pressure on Syria would most certainly be a major subject of talks between Medvedev and Assad.
“Russia will seek to reduce pressure around Syria,” said Alexander Shumilin, head of the Middle East Conflicts Analysis Center at Russia’s US and Canada Institute.
The visit, analysts add, will be a chance for Russia to thumb its nose at the United States.
“It will be one more excuse to demonstrate that we talk to whoever we want to talk,” said Alexei Malashenko, an analyst with the Carnegie Moscow Center.
Moscow has in recent time sought to restore Cold War-era ties and win new allies and Medvedev and Prime Minister Vladimir Putin have made trips across continents, in particular to South America.
The Russian Embassy spokesman said the energy minister Sergei Shmatko and officials from pipeline builder Stroytransgaz were set to accompany Medvedev on the visit.
The main event of the Russian-Turkish summit will be the first meeting of a new council for higher cooperation headed by Medvedev and Erdogan, the Kremlin said.
Russia is one of Turkey’s top trading partners and its main gas supplier, accounting for about 60 percent of the country’s gas imports.
Russia wants to build a section of its South Stream pipeline through Turkey’s portion of the Black Sea to create a new route for Russian gas to Europe that will by-pass Ukraine.
