Israel Presents red lines to Russia on Golan, Iran [Ezekiel 38]

Israeli President Reuven Rivlin met with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin in Moscow on Wednesday ahead of a planned Russian withdrawal from Syria. Rivlin conveyed to the Russian leader Israel's concerns about Iranian activity in Syria, and the active role the Hezbollah terror group has assumed in the Syrian civil war. The Israeli leader also touched on the future status of the Golan Heights, which Syria continues to claim as sovereign territory, despite Israel's annexation of the area in 1981. Rivlin reportedly told Putin that borders of both Syria and Iraq were arbitrarily drawn during the First World War, and did not reflect present realities.

Rivlin even suggested that the borders of both countries be altered, suggesting support not only for recognition of Israel's annexation of the Golan, but possibly the partition of both Iraq and Syria. The Israeli President emphasized Israel’s concerns, laying out the country's red lines vis-a-vis Syria. Israel would not accept, Rivlin told Putin, the presence of Iranian armed forces near the Golan Heights. Rivlin expressed hope that the United Nations peacekeeping force separating Israel and Syria would return, restoring the buffer between the two countries that has been absent since 2013.

Rivlin also noted that the future of the Golan Heights was non-negotiable, and that the area must remain under Israeli control. Putin told Rivlin that Russia was committed to Israel's security, and that the Russian president had "a personal commitment towards all of those Russians who immigrated to Israel..."

As the Middle East turns to Russia and Putin for stability given America's (and NATO's) feckless foreign policy, Russia is becoming the "world's policeman" in the Middle East and Mediterranean. The Bible Predicts that that Russia in the last days will make one last push to control world events. The prophet Ezekiel, in Ezekiel 38-39, predicted 2500 years ago that the country to the extreme north of Israel, would lead a coalition invasion of Israel and Palestine. The coalition would be led by a strong ruler who Ezekiel called Gog (Putin is a good candidate with his 90+% approval rating). Among the nations that Gog would muster are the following; Iran, Turkey, Trans-caucus States, Sudan, and Libya. Ezekiel goes on to predict that this invasion will be disastrous for Russia and its coalition nations. G-d himself shall send earthquakes, pestilence, and other natural disasters causing all the coalition nations to fight each other until all are almost destroyed. The question is, what are the hooks that cause Russia and this coalition to attack Israel? An Israeli nuclear attack on Islamic allies (Isaiah 17)? Israel natural gas or oil (Deuteronomy 33:24)? Other?

Ezekiel 38:2 Son of man, set thy face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him, 3 And say , Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal: 4 And I will turn thee back , and put hooks into thy jaws, and I will bring thee forth , and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armour, even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords: 5 Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all of them with shield and helmet: 6 Gomer, and all his bands; the house of Togarmah of the north quarters, and all his bands: and many people with thee. 7 Be thou prepared , and prepare for thyself, thou, and all thy company that are assembled unto thee, and be thou a guard unto them. 8 After many days thou shalt be visited : in the latter years thou shalt come into the land that is brought back from the sword, and is gathered out of many people, against the mountains of Israel, which have been always waste: but it is brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell safely all of them.

The question is, what are the hooks that cause Russia and this coalition to attack Israel?

1) covenant of death, a treaty of protection between the antichrist and Israel - starts the 7th week of Daniel and the end times

1)Jerusalem campaign: after 3.5 years, the antichrist and his armies will launch an assault on Israel, invade Jerusalem, enter the temple that he had already ordered to be built, and as the abomination of desolation, declare himself as ruler of the world, and demanding worship in the name of Satan. This will be the start of the great tribulation of antichrist.

2) Jehoshaphat campaign: during the second half of the 7th week of Daniel, just before the day of the Lord, God will gather all the nations, and bring them down to the valley of Jehoshaphat to be judged. This will occur just prior to when the great tribulation of the antichrist is cut short by God's day of the Lord's wrath.

Every living generation believes they are living in end times.

And likely that's intentional so there will be those ready in every generation...

And it's likely that some bible prophecy is revealed in each generation that could be the trigger to the beginning of the end...

For us, it was the Jews returning to Israel...

It has been written...

Who is Gog and Magog?
