6 - The Coming Invasion of Israel

In response to the "Group of Ten", a new alliance of Islamic nations and Russia challenges the West, attacks Israel, and is destroyed.

… Russia’s attack on Israel will not simply be an attack on Israel alone, but it will be a challenge to the peace and protection promised by the new leader of the Western coalition. By this time the emergence of the powerful new alignment of Europe and the Middle East will have seriously limited Russia’s role in the world. The attack by Russia will be a desperate attempt to recoup her position as a world power with influence over the Middle East.

The attack on Israel will transpire as a direct confrontation between Russia and her Islamic allies and the new leader of the Western coalition. With the United States in isolation, the balance of power in the world will have shifted so that the revived Roman Empire is on one side and Russia and her allies are on the other. Because of this, the destruction of the Russian army becomes tremendously significant. Once this occurs during the Battle of Gog and Magog, the balance of power will fall dramatically into the hands of the new world leader that emerges from the Group of Ten. This greatly changed world situation will position him as the most powerful and charismatic ruler in the world, setting the stage for the apocalyptic events that will soon follow.

Ezekiel 38-39 is the famous biblical prophecy that predicts an end time war commonly known as the Battle of Gog and Magog. Ezekiel 38:5 says that Iran will be part of this end time coalition of nations that will invade Israel and "cover the land like a cloud." Current developments in Iran and its neighboring nations indicate that the Gog coalition could be forming before our eyes. Three recent developments in Iran point toward the biblical scenario described in Ezekiel 38-39.

Two alliances are growing before our eyes in a monumental struggle for control of the Middle East and its vast oil treasure. Russia and Iran are forging stronger ties as evidenced by Russia’s agreement to sell Iran 250 advanced long-range fighters. This news comes on top of Russia’s sale of one billion dollars worth of missiles to Iran a couple of years ago. That’s two huge military deals in a little over two years.

Former U.S. House Speaker Newt Gingrich, who is contemplating a run for the White House, issued a sobering warning against Iran getting the bomb. On July 19, 2007, he noted that an Iranian nuclear strike against the U.S. could be more devastating than the attack on Pearl Harbor by the Japanese in 1941. But he then added, "The stakes for Israel are even greater. The use of one or more nuclear weapons against Israel would constitute a second genocide of the Jewish people. He then concluded: "Indeed, the Iranian President does not even require us to read a book like Mein Kampf to understand how serious he is. He enthusiastically makes speeches proclaiming to the world his commitment to genocidal annihilation of another nation. Meanwhile, the civilized world wrings its hands and the United Nations acts with contemptible weakness."

The coup d’état of Hamas in the Gaza Strip has rattled the entire region, and the shockwaves are reverberating around the world. The dust if far from settling, but in the early stages of this situation, there are two main issues related to what’s happened: the cause and the effect.

Concerning the cause of the coup, some are blaming the U.S., the U.N., the EU and Russia ("the quartet") for their continued support of Fatah, even after the electoral victory of Hamas in the polls in March 2006. Others are pointing to Iran as the chief instigator of the overthrow. This would certainly fit Iran’s MO. If Hamas is able to maintain control, Iran would have Israel in a bind between its two surrogates: Hezbollah to Israel’s north and Hamas to the West. Whether Iran was directly behind the coup or not, they certainly must be pleased to see more chaos in the region, more fear and uncertainty for Israel, and one more headache for the U.S. to deal with.

Last summer, during the 34-day between Israel and Hezbollah, it was easy to connect the dots and see Iran behind the Hezbollah attack on Israel. It’s been evident since that time that Hezbollah is just a surrogate or proxy of Iran.
