No. That is not what I mean. What I mean is: nothing in the scripture that has anything to do with Russia.

Then, Brother, I ask you to again look at verse 15 in the 38th chapter: 15 You will come from your place out of the remote parts of the north, you and many peoples with you, all of them riding on horses, a great assembly and a mighty army;

Where would the remote part of the north be? Any further north would be in the Arctic. And unless we're talking about mighty herds and collections of sea lions and polar bears, we're kind of stuck with Russia.

Take Google Earth & draw a line due north from the center of Jerusalem to the most northern city & see where you end up.

It all boils down to what the "remote parts of the north" really means. The King James Version translates it as "out of the north parts," which is not the same as your New American Standard. One thing should be clear: it was mostly like not too far away since they were all riding on horses:

"Therefore, son of man, prophesy and say unto Gog, Thus saith the Lord God; In that day when my people of Israel dwelleth safely, shalt thou not know it? And thou shalt come from thy place out of the north parts, thou, and many people with thee, all of them riding upon horses, a great company, and a mighty army:" (Eze 38:14-15 KJV)
