Could Vladimir Putin be Gog?
Over 2,500 years ago, the Hebrew prophet Ezekiel predicted a massive invasion of Israel in the latter years, by a coalition of nations led by Russia. Ezekiel 38:1-6 lists ten proper names that will be part of this assault force:
Now the word of the Lord came to me, saying, “Son of man, set your face against Gog, of the land of Magog, the prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal, and prophesy against him, and say, ‘Thus says the Lord God: “Behold, I am against you, O Gog, the prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal. I will turn you around, put hooks into your jaws, and lead you out, with all your army, horses, and horsemen, all splendidly clothed, a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords. Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya are with them, all of them with shield and helmet; Gomer and all its troops; the house of Togarmah from the far north and all its troops—many people are with you.”—Ezekiel 38:1-6
The modern counterparts to these ancient geographical regions are Russia, Turkey, Iran, Libya, and Sudan. More nations will probably participate in this invasion as part of the catchall phrase “many people are with you.”
