Bible Predicts Events About Russia & End Times: David Jeremiah

According to pastor and author David Jeremiah, Russia will play a big role in the End Times by organizing an attack on Israel.

While such an invasion won't happen "immediately," it could happen "sooner than we believe."

The biblical book of Ezekiel predicted certain catastrophes that will occur in Russia's future. — Jeremiah

According to Jeremiah, Ezekiel 38 contains a prophecy about Russia's future.

Russia is referred to as "Rosh" in that passage, he explained.

Both Ezekiel and Daniel describe Israel’s end-times aggressor as descending from the north.

Daniel used the phrase ‘king of the North’ to describe the commander of the alliance (Daniel 11:5-35).

‘from the far north’ (Ezekiel 38:6, 15)
Ezekiel’s prophecy lends support to Daniel’s, indicating the invading armies will arrive in Israel

Russia is the only modern nation to match this description — Jeremiah

"Gog" is also mentioned in the passage as a "chief prince."

"Gog is the prince of Rosh, or the leader of Russia." "According to some scholars, Gog is a title rather than a personal name," Jeremiah wrote.

Jeremiah predicted that these nations will be led by Gog and form an alliance against Israel.

Russia and Turkey will lead from the north.

Iran will join from the east.

Sudan and Libya will press in from the south and possibly Germany from the west,” Jeremiah wrote. “To darken the picture for Israel, these likely represent the chief allies in the invasion.

In Ezekiel 38:9 the prophet added that the nation will have ‘many peoples’ on its side.”

When the Russian coalition attacks Israel, Jeremiah predicts that Israel will be disarmed.

God's intervention will be Israel's "only hope," Jeremiah said, "Russia will be blind to this prospect."
