On October 26, 2005, speaking at the 'World without Zionism' conference in Tehran, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad revealed an evil intention when he sparked fears of a nuclear attack on Israel by threatening to wipe the Jewish state off the map; erasing it from the pages of time. He repeated that caustic threat against Israel on June 2, 2008 in a public address that was televised on Iranian news saying, "Thanks to God, your wish will soon be realized, and this germ of corruption will be wiped off the face of the world". He has also compared Israel to a "dried, rotten tree that will collapse with a single storm."
These 'words' reveal what he, and the followers of this regime wish to happen to Israel: a quick death; for it to disappear. Israel is not the only one targeted in these hateful rants, this genocidal regime running Iran also wishes sudden destruction upon the 'Zionist'/Judeo-Christian based and free United States as well, calling it the 'Great Satan', and labeling Israel, 'Little Satan.' The consistent genocidal threats by this tryannical, holocaust denying, cultic regime have been many and documented, but outside of Israel, Iran's 'intentions' are still being questioned by many of the world powers.
U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton told the New York Times that Iran has “to reassure the international community by words and actions as to what their nuclear program is intended for.” as quoted from Xinhuanet.com. Last month, Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, speaking to a group of Russia's ambassadors in Moscow declared, "It is obvious that Iran is moving closer to possessing the potential which in principle could be used for the creation of nuclear weapons." All these threats against Israel, and to the US and continued resistant action with their nuclear program, should leave little doubt as to the dark intentions of the Iranian dictators.
Medvedev's quick sharp stance at the time seemed to relieve many in the international community, as Russia took a firmer approach, and showed 'concern' over Iran's defiant nuclear program. But fast forward to today, and we are just days away from Russia shipping the uranium fuel to be loaded into the Bushehr reactor; the spark that ignites the official startup of Iran's first atomic plant, and perhaps a whole lot more.
This rising Russian-Iranian alliance was foretold by the Prophet Ezekiel over 2500 years ago, and it is by No coincidence that in this day, Russia (Magog) and Iran (Persia), are connected together in so many ways (energy,weapons,SCO,Hamas etc.) It is quite amazing to witness all these nations aligning as prophesied, thousands of years ago.
In Ezekiel Chapter 38, the Prophet foretold that in the last days there would be a Russian-led alliance of Islamic nations, and most scholars agree in general with the nations named in this event led by Gog, a Czar -type /evil dictator:
Beth-Togarmah is Armenia/Islamic former republic of Soviet Union
Meshech and Tubal are areas in Turkey
Gomer area in Turkey
"the many peoples with you" who will attack along "mountains of Israel" Lebanon, (Possibly Syria, and Jordan)
The above links take you to Joel C. Rosenberg's blog, author of 'Ezekiel Option' his site links also to here where if you scroll to Sept.30 'Lens of Scripture', Joel speaks on Ezekiel 38 in detail.
This coalition of nations will launch an attack against Israel, and Ezekiel warns that Gog comes for the purpose of 'taking a spoil'. It is very probable that the spoil Russia comes for is the oil and natural gas that Israel has just discovered. The current fires in Russia, affecting some of their own resources and costing millions, perhaps could play a motivating role in the 'thirst' for the spoil. At this time there are already rumors of war over these fields.
The "War of Gog and Magog," was not possible before 1948, before Israel was rebirthed as a nation, and the prophecies of Ezekiel 36, and 37 were fulfilled, and continue to be - as the Jewish people are still being led to make aliyah, making their way home to Israel. Only time will tell when this attack will occur, but the events lining up in the Middle East certainly point to its coming fulfillment. Many scholars think according to scripture, that it is probable this invasion will occur just prior to, or soon after, the beginning of the time of Jacob's Trouble, the 7 years of Tribulation.
It will be a supernatural event in which God Himself will intervene to quell this doomed invasion of Israel - when He sanctifies His Holy Name, defends His People, His Land, and opens many eyes to Himself, with nations witnessing this and knowing that God has done it!
As these particular nations align with each other, strenghthening ties, and Israel becomes further isolated on the world scene, ( as prophesied Zechariah 12 1-3, Psalm 83) and antisemitism rages around the world,in Psalm 122 it is written to, 'Pray for the Peace of Jerusalem'. Genesis 12 1-3 is also a strong truth that has never been revoked, and we are to Bless Israel, those who do, will be blessed. God unlike man, does not lie, and while replacement theology is prevalent in many churches, and the world rages at Israel for unjust reasons, it is important to note that it is also written that those who curse Israel, will be cursed.
The Middle East conflict goes beyond flesh and blood, it is a deeply rooted spirtitual battle, and because of this truth, it can only be won in the spiritual realm, and that is why, there will be a rapture of the church, a time of judgment on earth, a redemption of Israel, and a destroying of the Antichrist and his false prophet at the end at the time of Armegeddon, before the LORD sets up His Righteous Kingdom and rules from Jerusalem! God will solve this conflict between the descendants, of Isaac and Ishmael, the sons of Abraham - where the root of it began.
At the same time, the many people in the surrounding nations in the Mideast, and those who think this attack will be a good thing, need prayer for God's mercy and salvation to reach them, The LORD God through His son Jesus Christ, He is real Hope, His gift is Life Everlasting, and He is Faithful and True. Everyone who calls upon the name of the LORD will be saved. He is Merciful to all those who call upon Him , who call on His name in Truth. Psalm 145, John 3:16-17.
One day, there will be true everlasting peace when the days of wars and rumors of wars, are over and the Messiah, Yeshua Ha'Mashiach the Prince of Peace, LORD of ALL Creation, comes back and sets up His Kingdom!
The prophecies in Ezekiel 38 & 39 were written over 2,500 years ago. They detail an attempted surprise attack on the nation of Israel. As if torn from today's headlines, these passages detail who is involved, what they will do, why they will do it and how they will be defeated.

Cush is NOT souther Sudan - Its North Sudan. As usual you jews rewite your own history and the words of god ! Gog & Magog are true but they have nothing to do with the places you mentioned. It is the jewish people that will suffer in the end - because of their deceitful ways. Lie to yourselves all you want, but time will tell.
Great article Nicole, keep up the good work. The alignment of nations is falling into place.
Forgot to mention your mentioning of how God said those who bless His People, Israel, will be blessed, and those who curse Him will be cursed, and how true that is, even Mark Twain recognized that the Jew was immortal unlike any people on the face of the earth. He wondered what was the Jew's secret to their immortality. One word answer: God. Looking forward to more of your articles. God bless you.
loved your article. mentioned it in my article today, October 26, 2010. Keep up the good work! Patricia Cummings
