Ezekiel’s prophecy lends support to Daniel’s, indicating the invading armies will arrive in Israel “from the far north” (Ezekiel 38:6, 15). Daniel used the phrase “king of the North” to describe the commander of the alliance ( Daniel 11:5-35). The Bible describes Rosh as being far to the north of Israel, which was the reference point for Ezekiel’s original audience.īoth Ezekiel and Daniel describe Israel’s End-Times aggressor as descending from the north. This can be determined linguistically and geographically.
However, the reference to Rosh in verse 2 is a shortened version of the word Russia. None of these nations are called Russia that name is not found anywhere in the Bible. He begins Ezekiel 38 with a long list of nations that will attack Israel. 1 Newsfeeds swirl with questions about his intentions, but perhaps we should ask ourselves this question: What does the Bible say about modern Russia?Īpproximately 2,500 years ago, Ezekiel predicted specific events that will occur in Russia’s future.
According to a Gallup poll, the public has consistently ranked Russia as the United States’ second greatest enemy since 2015. Not only is he provoking the people of Eurasia, but his strong-armed policies are also causing concern around the world. He has annexed Crimea, crept into the Republic of Georgia, and invaded Ukraine. In recent years, Russian President Vladimir Putin has aggressively pursued reunification of the Soviet bloc.
