The war of Gog and Magog. The prelude to Armageddon. I call it- the Outer Ring of Fire.

It’s getting serious now. Everyone has forgotten all about the Inner Ring of Fire. The Gaza Strip and West Bank are no longer the topic of discussion. Nuclear war is on the horizon, or is it?

There is a big problem. Why would Russia, Turkey (who is currently a member of NATO) and Iran invade Israel, especially if Israel is under the umbrella of protection of America? The American-Israeli alliance is steadfast, one could even call us one and the same.

But what if that was the problem?

What if America betrayed the agreements they have with Israel? Or vice versa? The unexpected betrayal of America not coming to the aid of Israel in the threat of an invasion by Russia, Turkey, and Iran would be devastating to the tiny nation. Only the right hand of the Almighty could save them and that is basically what the prophecy says.

In the Bible; Ezekiel 38 & 39 – check out the prophecy about this war.

Potential but hypothetical scenario (although probable):

The stage is set: Syria is a powder keg. Russia has a military presence and bases on the coast. Turkish- backed forces and frankly, Turkish troops are in control as the Syrian government has defected. Iran and other Islamic jihadist groups are operating in the area. It is only a matter of time until they begin to conspire together. As the “West” puts maximum pressure on Russia with sanctions and support to Ukraine, Russia is being forced into a relationship with Iran. The more this continues the prophecy by Ezekiel comes to life. Eventually there will be no their option for them and this is exactly what is described by the prophet Ezekiel when he says the Lord will put books in the mouth of the Prince of Magog and drag him into a conflict with Israel. Not that long ago Israel and Russia were not quite friendly but civil with each other as there is almost 2 million Hebrew-Russian speakers. He also says this will be quite a surprise as these nations (mainly Turkey, Russia, Iran). Turkey is actually a NATO member but we can be sure they are the ones that betray because a plan like this would have to have the element of surprise, right? How many people would not see this attack coming because of Turkey being one of the “good guys”? This is exactly what Ezekiel says, they will conspire with one mind to plunder Israel, a nation unsuspecting with unwalled cities. He also says that evil thoughts will come into the minds of these nations and people that are involved in this conspiracy. This is for sure an evil betrayal and surprise attack! But we will see it coming a long way off because of the prophecy.

There is hope through the power of prayer. There are many Christians in the ranks of these nations, even Iran and Turkey, which are predominantly Islamic nations on jihad, especially when this happens. Russia is technically a “Christian” nation. Pray every chance you can for them because a lot of them will be fighting on the wrong side.

Or what about this scenario: America elects weak leadership. Russia has grown bolder because of this. The European Union has grow tired of being so reliant on America and is more self sufficient. An evil thought grows in the minds of the European leaders, they reach out to China secretly. Instigating a war between America/Russia would benefit both of them. An Islamic leader becomes powerful in the Middle East. The Muslims gather support to invade Israel from Syria with the private support from Turkey. Russia is pulled in to back them because of the past treaties with Iran. Europe and China wait to see what America does. The surprise attack on Israel has little support from America until Russia joins the armies amassing in Syria. It escalates as the invasion goes poorly but Israel uses the Samson option. Russia/Iran now threatens to use nukes on Israel. Turkey utterly betrays the West and steals and destroys Americas nukes stored there. America now has no choice. They muster their forces on the coasts but Russia sees an opportunity and bombs the heavily populated east and west coasts as soon as the troops are mobilized. American military forces are decimated before they can even set sail to defend Israel. The ports are destroyed. The only option left even if there was great restraint up til now is the nuclear weapons one. America rains fire down and wipes Russia off the map, every populated city is destroyed. Russia fires what they have left. Many cities are destroyed from the submerged nuclear submarines- all that really is left of the Russian military now. Israel is on its own. They manage to push the invading forces out in the south, which retreat to the desert of Saudi Arabia but are sought and destroyed. The north of Israel is devastated from the battles and the bombs. Nuclear fallout in the north make the land inhabitable. Israel manages to gain victory but are not able to recover. Europe and China now make their move they planned in secret. The elites have been preparing for this. Safe in bunkers they now emerge to pick up the pieces. America, Russia, and Israel are extremely weakened. There’s now many cities destroyed all over but Europe and China have sustained the least damage of the major powers and now put their disagreements aside to take control of the rest of the world. They form a government that declares the whole world is subject to them now and divided it into 10 districts. They use religion and a puppet pope to get those who would oppose them to submit through the religious leadership and devise a monetary system that everyone should use. Then the leaders become to powerful from the resources they acquire from their subjects by communistic and wealth- redistribution laws. The world in the aftermath of the war is more survivable than people thought. The environment absorbs more of the radiation though and starts to wither and die. Resources become more coveted and people start starving and becoming more and more dependent upon the leaders and desperate. The world leaders sense the desperation and crack down on the resistance, subjecting them to harsh regulations. Power is slowly transferred to a smaller and smaller circle in the name of efficiency. One person finally takes over and the system is… inescapable.
