John Hagee does a magnificent job in this video titled: “The Oil Crisis and the Radical Islamic Revolution” . Israel knows that America is not going to come to their rescue for several reasons but for one, our current President has never stood with Israel. Secondly, America is broke and does not have the funds to take on another war with so many nations involved. Greed for oil will be the driving forced behind this war along with Islam and their determination to crush the Jewish nation.
God gives us the lists the major nations that will attack Israel, and they are:
• Magog – this is modern day Russia
• Persia – this is modern day Iran
• Meshech and Tubal, Togarmah – this region is modern day Turkey
• Ethiopia – this is modern Ethiopia
• Libya – this is modern day Libya
• Gomer – this is modern day Germany
The Book of Ezekiel tells us that there will be horses involved in this battle and it is a known fact that in Russia’s history, there has always included a horse calvary. In fact, Russia has one of the larger horse calvarys in the world. During the Korean War in the early 1950s, the Chinese moved large numbers of troops through the mountains with horses. As a matter of fact, Russia has always used it’s cavalry in previous major wars.
Even though Israel has a powerful army for such a little nation but they will not be fighting this battle alone. This battle belongs to the LORD for He is going to consume Russia and Islamic Army with a powerful earthquake that the entire world will feel. The book of Ezekiel tells us that there will be plagues, torrents of rain, hailstones, and burning sulfur. Just as it was in the days of Sodom and Gomorrah, G-d will destroy these invading forces and make it known to all nations that He and He alone is the Lord. His statement to the entire world that He is the Holy One of Isreal.
This war against Israel will pave the way for the Antichrist’s military rule over the world and his demand that the world worship him as God. With Islam defeated and the Christian Church rapured, opposition to worshiping a man as God will be greatly reduced. Those who are left will have no army with which to mount much of a protest.
Ezekiel 38
New International Version (NIV)
The Lord’s Great Victory Over the Nations
38 The word of the Lord came to me: 2 “Son of man, set your face against Gog, of the land of Magog, the chief prince of[a] Meshek and Tubal; prophesy against him 3 and say: ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: I am against you, Gog, chief prince of[b] Meshek and Tubal. 4 I will turn you around, put hooks in your jaws and bring you out with your whole army—your horses, your horsemen fully armed, and a great horde with large and small shields, all of them brandishing their swords. 5 Persia, Cush[c] and Put will be with them, all with shields and helmets, 6 also Gomer with all its troops, and Beth Togarmah from the far north with all its troops—the many nations with you.
7 “‘Get ready; be prepared, you and all the hordes gathered about you, and take command of them. 8 After many daysyou will be called to arms. In future years you will invade a land that has recovered from war, whose people were gathered from many nations to the mountains of Israel, which had long been desolate. They had been brought out from the nations, and now all of them live in safety. 9 You and all your troops and the many nations with you will go up, advancing like a storm; you will be like a cloud covering the land.
10 “‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: On that day thoughts will come into your mind and you will devise an evil scheme. 11 You will say, “I will invade a land of unwalled villages; I will attack a peaceful and unsuspecting people—all of them living without walls and without gates and bars. 12 I will plunder and loot and turn my hand against the resettled ruins and the people gathered from the nations, rich in livestock and goods, living at the center of the land.[d]” 13 Sheba and Dedan and the merchants of Tarshish and all her villages[e] will say to you, “Have you come to plunder? Have you gathered your hordes to loot, to carry off silver and gold, to take away livestock and goods and to seize much plunder?”’
14 “Therefore, son of man, prophesy and say to Gog: ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: In that day, when my people Israel are living in safety, will you not take notice of it? 15 You will come from your place in the far north, you and many nations with you, all of them riding on horses, a great horde, a mighty army. 16 You will advance against my people Israel like a cloud that covers the land. In days to come, Gog, I will bring you against my land, so that the nations may know me when I am proved holy through you before their eyes.
17 “‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: You are the one I spoke of in former days by my servants the prophets of Israel. At that time they prophesied for years that I would bring you against them. 18 This is what will happen in that day: When Gog attacks the land of Israel, my hot anger will be aroused, declares the Sovereign Lord. 19 In my zeal and fiery wrath I declare that at that time there shall be a great earthquake in the land of Israel. 20 The fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, the beasts of the field, every creature that moves along the ground, and all the people on the face of the earth will tremble at my presence. The mountains will be overturned, the cliffs will crumble and every wall will fall to the ground. 21 I will summon a sword against Gog on all my mountains, declares the Sovereign Lord. Every man’s sword will be against his brother. 22 I will execute judgment on him with plague and bloodshed; I will pour down torrents of rain, hailstones and burning sulfur on him and on his troops and on the many nations with him. 23 And so I will show my greatness and my holiness, and I will make myself known in the sight of many nations. Then they will know that I am the Lord.’
