Many of you might (or might not) be aware that Russia is now claiming ownership over the Arctic and the North Pole.
This claim is to secure the vast oil and gas reserves under that area.
To back up their claim, Russia has been pouring military forces and weapons into the area over the past couple of years, and have now warned all of the nations who border the Arctic to stay away. They have also announced plans of denying Arctic access to our (America’s) naval and submarine forces.
The timing of Russia’s military claim over the North Pole gets even more interesting when you consider Russia’s close military alliance with Iran.
Now, consider these two seemingly separate events in light of some specific details which God has provided for us concerning the upcoming (and prophetic) Russia, Iran, Turkey, and allies attack and invasion against nation Israel.
From a Bible Prophecy perspective, this coming war will mark the “Point of No Return” along the World’s march towards the Apocalypse and Armageddon.
Now, take a moment to consider Russia’s military claim and active occupation of the Arctic and the North pole and compare it to God’s prophetic description of the nation which will act as the lead aggressor against Israel in this terrible and upcoming prophetic war described in Ezekiel 38 & 39.
FROM THE “UTTER PARTS OF THE NORTH”…
“Therefore, son of man, prophesy, and say to Gog,
Thus says the Lord God:
On that Day when My people Israel are dwelling securely, will you not know it?
You will come from your place
OUT OF THE UTTERMOST PARTS OF THE NORTH,
you and many peoples with you,
all of them riding on horses,
a great host, a mighty army.
You will come up against My people Israel, (not a good idea)
like a cloud covering the Land.
In the latter days (A prophecy far in the future from Ezekiel’s time …)
I will bring you against My Land, (God tells us Israel is His Land which He gave to Israel)
that the nations may know Me,
when through you, O Gog,
I vindicate My Holiness before their eyes.” (When God Himself will intervene)
(Ezekiel 38:14-16)
“Thus says the Lord GOD:
Behold, I am against you, O Gog,
chief prince of Meshech and Tubal.
And I will turn you about and drive you forward,
and bring you up from
THE UTTERMOST PARTS OF THE NORTH,
and lead you against the mountains of Israel.”
(Ezekiel 39:1)
Check a Map: Russia, Moscow, the Arctic, and the North Pole (which Russia now claims) ARE the “Utter parts of the North” from Jerusalem!
One other thing to consider is the fact that a number of Bible scholars believe (for technical and linguistic reasons) another major prophetic event, the coming Rapture, may have to take place sometime BEFORE God intervenes for Israel to destroy this invading army.
What we are now seeing with Russia and Iran pouring troops, missiles, and weapons into Syria and along Israel’s borders has never yet happened before in history.
So, what we are now seeing is either some type of prophetic “dress rehearsal” to get the world’s attention, or it is the beginning of the real thing, even though the build-up and brinksmanship between Israel and her enemies could go on for days, weeks, months or even years.
But, another critical and important piece to this terrible prophetic puzzle is that sometime before this coming war takes place between Russia-Iran and Israel, the United States must be “neutralized,” and will be unable or unwilling to help defend Israel.
For the Bible warns that Israel will have to stand alone … with God!!!
And finally, as noted earlier, this war will trigger the IRREVERSIBLE events which will draw the World down into the terrors of the Apocalypse and Armageddon.
Given all of this, it is probably a good time to “examine our faith” to insure that we may be found “Worthy to escape all these thing which WILL come to pass.” (Luke 21:36)
