Bible Prophecy Commentary – Russia’s Putin – Prince of Gog?
Russia is standing alone against the west and as the sanctions bite harder we can expect Russia to bite back nonetheless.
We know that there is a war coming against Israel that will involve a land to the far north of Israel. This is Biblically described in Eze 38 and 39. It includes the land of Rosh which is presumed to be Russia and it aligns itself with other nations namely – Magog, Rosh, Meshech, Tubal, Persia, Ethiopia, Libya, Gomer, and Togarmah. Ezekiel is told by Almighty God to set his face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal. Russia is taking a stand in his geopolitical advancements in the Ukraine and I believe the rest of the European nations are intimidated and can I say, scared. Russia has not been sitting on their thumbs. They have increased the magnitude and effectiveness of their military establishment. They are therefore a force to be aware of and one to not to underestimate.
President Putin displays a cold, hard, tough and unemotional stature and facial resolve. He is sure about his actions and has not (and I believe will not) cave to western sanctions or … This ‘new’ Russia will play a huge part in world affairs in the future days, months and years. But is he the Prince of Gog? Perhaps but maybe a little to early to tell. And is this Prince a human or a spiritual prince in the army of darkness? It could be either or both. I think it’s a demonic prince empowering and directing the leader whoever that turns out to be.
We should be watching Russia closely and what they say and do. Who they align themselves with; who are their allies and who are their trusted friends. Russia is a superpower and they could now surpass the US in terms of overall military effectiveness, readiness and resolve. Research the news on the US military and see how it is seemingly decreasing in functionality, preparedness and resolve.
Keep alert, keep watch, keep your eyes on Israel and keep in prayer.
