Mark Hitchcock: Russia’s Rise in Prophecy

Sitting on the northern border of Israel are two dangerous nations that are referenced in the ancient prophecies of the Bible. The 38th chapter of Ezekiel describes a coalition of nations that come down from the uttermost parts of the north to attack the tiny nation of Israel, “in the latter days.” Russia is led by self-perceived strongman and President, Vladimir Putin, a former KGB operative. Is Putin, who many believe to be the richest man in the world, the individual the Old Testament prophet Ezekiel calls Gog from the Land of Magog? Is Magog the land of Russia? Or is Turkey the nation to the north, mentioned in Ezekiel 38? Pastor and respected author, Mark Hitchcock, presents strong geographical evidence that a group of nations, Russia, Iran, and Turkey among them, are the nations that form this end-times alliance and attack Israel. Once again, as we see the enemies moving into their final prophetic positions, we see Bible prophecy coming to life right before our eyes. The Russian bear is rising!
