Regardless, all of these nations whom have gathered in the valley of Meggiddo shall be conquered by Christ, His returning saints, and His holy angels. Jude 14-15; Revelation 19:11-21. However, contemporary Russia for almost 70 years as an atheist power has committed genocide against millions of her citizens in the name of communist atheism. Thus, she falls into another category "The fool in his heart has said there is no God". Psalm 14:1; 53:1. The problem is they are heading towards a scary proof that God sees everything. Zechariah 4:10. Count the nations whom have attacked Israel against the nations whio have supported her. What happened to Hitler's Germany ? Their family and lands were broken up, split, and divided. Did they break up, split, and divide someone else's families during WW 2 ? What about Saddam's Irak ? Even the United States and her "wild fires" in the western part of the country. Is she attempting to divide the land of Israel via a supposed "peace package" ? But, Khaddafy's Libya is oil rich, and so is Iran; nevertheless, Libya will be conquered by the revised coming Roman Empire. Daniel 11:42-43. America and to a lesser extent the nations of Western Europe have supported Israel, and done rather well financially THUS FAR. Why ? The answer is "And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse them that curse thee". Genesis 12:3 along with Jeremiah 51:19-23. Why could not Arab countries with their superior numbers not be able to bring this tiny nation to their knees in the 1967 and 1973 wars respectively ? They jumped her, and still could not get the job done. Why not ? Traditionally, Israel receives more money to build, and obtain military armaments from America's foreign aid program than any other nation on earth. Also, America has never voted to condemn Israel at any previous Security Council meetings of the United Nations (Although she has criticized Israel for certain things). Now back to the second invasion. Russia and her allies will come to "...take a spoil and to take a prey: to turn thine hand upon desolate places that are not 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". Again, this invasion occurs after a 1,000 year period, in which, Russia's descendants after witnessing the glory of Christ's rule will attempt to invade Israel for economic gain/resources. Some of the reasons for this invasion are 1. Israel is a strategic bridge that connects three continents via Europe, Asia, and Africa; 2. Israel is already, and imminently will become a fertile environment for agricultural stability; and 3. The Dead Sea is another reason. The Dead Sea is located in Israel, and due to it's naturally dense salination no birds flock there. No shell fish reside there. No animals live there. The Dead Sea is dead, but is the Dead Sea worthless ? The only other comparison I can think of off the top of my mind is Salt Lake located near the American city of Salt Lake, Utah.
Astoundingly, the Dead Sea reportedly contains enough mineral resources to be tantamount $U.S. 13-15 trillion dollars; thereby, transforming tiny Israel into the wealthiest power in the world as a single nation. But Who will tap into those resources ? Will not He Who put them there in the first place ? "Oh that men would praise the Lord for His goodness, and for His wonderful works to the children of men ! Let them exalt Him also in the congregation of the people, and praise Him in the assembly of the elders. He turneth rivers into a wilderness, and the watersprings into dry ground; A fruitful land into barreness, for the wickedness that dwell therein. He turneth the wilderness into a standing water, and dry ground into watersprings. And there He maketh the hungry to dwell that they may prepare a city for habitation; and sow fields, and plant vineyards, which may yield fruits of increase. He blesseth them also, so that they are multiplied greatly; and suffereth not their cattle to decrease...Whoso is wise, and will observe these things, even they shall understand the loving kindness of the Lord". That's Who ! Compliments of Psalm 107:31-38, 43. However, when this invasion takes place the Arab world will be politically divided: "Sheba, and Dedan, and the merchants of Tarshish, with all the young lions thereof, shall they 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 ?" These nations will protest the invasion. Who are they ? Both Sheba and Dedan were grandsons of Cush, and great grandsons of Ham. Genesis 10:6-7. Sheba is said by scholars to have settled in western Arabia, and Dedan is believed to have migrated to southwestern region of Saudi Arabia. The Saudis along with there allies will protest the incursion. By this time they may be allies of Israel. The Bible says many nations which are now bitter foes in the Mid-east shall one day unite, and a new people are being raised up to rule them. Zechariah 8:20-23; 1 Peter 2:9. Will there be nations in the future ? Yes ! Revelation 21:24; 22:2; Isaiah 60. Tarshish ? Whoever Tarshish is she was known for her maritime capabilities, and to go to and from Tarshish one usually traveled by sea vessels. Jonah 1:3; 2 Chronicles 20:36-37; Ezekiel 27:25-29; Psalm 48:7. Many scholars once believed Tarshish was Tartesso of Spain, in truth, the Spaniards were once known as very skilled navigators. The Phoenicians were of Canaanite stock, and were believed to have settled in Spain. The problem is they were not believed to be the original inhabitants, and many of the items found in 2 Chronicles 9:21 are not found in Spain. Albeit, due to her excellent maritime capabilities the ancient Phonecians could have ventured as far away as India, or as close as Africa to have traded the items. Nevertheless, two things are clear: For the first 1,000 years Jesus Christ will rule on earth, and the new earth will have nations. Zechariah 14:16-21; Daniel 7:27; and Revelation 20:8. Still, most Bible scholars nowadays believe Great Britain, and the formerly powerful British navy responsible for once ruling a quarter of earth's land territory via the British empire could symbolically be today's Tarshish. Britain's national symbol is the lion "...and all the young lions thereof ?" Could they be those english speaking nations that came out of Britain: The United States, Canada, New Zealand, and Australia ? Whoever they are they will protest the invasion. "Therefore, son of man, prophecy and say unto Gog, Thus saidth the Lord God: In that day when My people of Israel dwelleth safely, shalt not thou know it ? And thou shalt come out of thy place out of the north parts, thou, and many people with thee, all of them riding on horses a great company: and a mighty army: and thou shalt come up against My people of the land of Israel, as a cloud to cover the land, that the heathen may know Me". As a former atheistic society Russia donated much of her military/financial resources via her Arab allies for the overthrow of Israel. Russia falls into a category of judgement. " And I will bless those that bless thee, and curse him that curse thee: and in thee shall all the families of the earth be blessed ". Genesis 12:3 (This includes Abraham's Christianic seed who can fall away if they are not careful. Romans 11. The Bible teaches a person can commit the unpardonable sin thru one of two methods: Luke 12:10 and 2 Peter 2:20-22. And since there is only One God a person should be very careful. 1 John 5:7). But, isn't Russia of today permitting the spreading of the gospel in Russian society ? Yes ! That's good---And many of her people I expect to be saved in Christ coming kingdom. Others, unlike today they will not be tempted by satan who will be bounded in prison. They will still be human, and they will have to overcome their bad habits. When satan is loosed from his prison for a season to tempt the nations many of Russia's descedants will fall to that temptation. They will attempt to strike against Christ's kingdom. Revelation 20:7-8. Damning themselves into the second death & ressurection.
We continue in Ezekiel 38:17: "...Thus saidth the Lord God: Art thou he of whom I have spoken in old time by My servants the prophets of Israel. which prophesied those days many years that I would bring thee against them ? And it shall come to pass at the same time when Gog shall come against the land of Israel, saidth the Lord God, that My fury shall come up in My face. For in My jeoulousy 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. So that the fishes of the sea, and the fowls of heaven, and the beast of the field, and all creeping things that creep along the face of the earth, shall shake at My presence, and the mountains shall be thrown down,and the steep places shallfall to the ground.....". The land of Israelis experiencing a return of much of it's former wildlife specimens. When Christ returns to rule this planet the curse on nature shall be removed. Genesis 3:17-19; Malachi 4:4-6; Isaiah 11:1-10. Today, much of the previous animals can be found:Jackals, owls, etc.. The first of God's judgements will involve a powerful earthquake that will literally desecrate much of the landscape, it will eradicate much of the wildlife, and send massive shockwaves in and around the entire planet---shockwaves especially felt in Russia ! Israel will not have to fight this battle, because God whom they will trust to deliver them will fight on their behalf. The second judgement on Russia, and her combination of allies will involve fratricidal warfare: and I will call for a sword against him through out all My mountains saidth the Lord God: every man's sword shall be against his brother. And And if that's not enough supernaturally inflicted disease will spread amonst these soldiers:...and I will plead against him with pestilence and with blood..." Finally, the forth judgement to hit this military alliance "...and I will rain upon him, an overflowing rain, and great hailstones, fire, and brimstone. 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". Will the world's first Marxist nation's descendants accept Christ ? Colossians 3:11. Will they turn to the only hope of eternal glory ? 2 Peter 3:9. It is vital to get the Bibles in Russia now while the gates of freedom remain open. Chapter 39 of the book of Ezekiel..."Therefore, thou son of man, Thus saidth the Lord God:behold I am against thee, O Gog the chief prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal: I will turn thee back, and leave but the six part of thee on the mountain of Israel...". Those Russian soldiers who go out against Israel will only have a survival rate of 1 out of every six that remain, and rest will be destroyed. Chapter 39 verse 3 "...And I will cause their arrows to fall out of their right hand. And thou shalt fall upon the mountains of Israel,thou, and all thy bands, and the people that is with thee: And I will give thee to the ravenous birds of every sort, and of the beast of the field to be devoured. Thou shalt fall upon the open field: for I have spoken it saidth the Lord God". Not only will this future Russia fall, but the wildlife of Israel, and the fowls of the air will begin to feast on the dead corpses of those troops that are slain. ",..And I will dwell carelessly in the isles: and they shall know that I am the Lord. So will I make My holy name known in the midst of My people Israel; and I will not let them pollute My holy name anymore: and the heathen shall know that I am the Lord, the Holy One in Israel. Behold it is come, and it is done, saidth the Lord God; this is the day where of I have spoken". Again, Russia will realize there is an omnipotent Deity that governs the universe, and the people of Israel shall enjoy the full magnificent protection of the Lord, because they placed their faith in Him. Habakkuk 2:4; Nahum 1:7. Most of the rest of the chapter describes the length of time it will take to bury the Russian dead in Israel. The Lord reinterates His superiority over judgements and decision making. But why will this happen. Because of that same maniacal menace who was the original liar and murderer from the beginning. John 8:44; Revelation 20:7-10. Therefore, I urge the reader of this paper to place their lives in the loving caring Hands of Jesus Christ, and trust Him with their lives to live not only for a thousand years but, thousands times thousands of years. Tell God you want to be saved in Jesus loving kingdom. Confess your sins to God, and ask in Jesus Christ name to be filled with His Spirit. I am a living testimony that God will protect all those who implement His will in their lives. I am a Christian whom worships God on His original Sabbath (Friday sundown to Saturday sundown), and I am persuaded though tribulations threaten, and persecutions/enemies come the God of Abraham, the God of Issac, and the God of Jacob is more than enough to protect those who trust Him with their care. Nahum 1:7; Ezekiel 20:19-24; John 14:15; John 15:9-27.
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16. Even so, come, Lord Jesus. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen. Revelation 22:20-21.
