OPINION:
On June 15, the European Union signed an economically and prophetically significant agreement to purchase Israel’s natural gas via Egypt, thereby ending its total dependence on Russian gas. Seems the people who historically used poison gas to kill the Jews now need Israeli natural gas to survive.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has been publicly humiliated and handed a stinging defeat. He doesn’t take that kind of thing lying down. Could an economically motivated war be on the horizon? Russian boots and armored vehicles are already on the ground on Israel’s northern border near Mt. Hermon. Russian fighter jets fly alongside Syrian planes overhead.
The Book of Ezekiel (Chapter 38) tells of such an economically motivated war. Russia will lead a coalition of armies against Israel for gas and other resources. Sound far-fetched? Since the prophecies of Ezekiel 35, 36 and 37 have come to pass, it follows that the Ezekiel 38 war is next on the horizon.
The Israel Defense Forces, good as they are, won’t be able defeat this coalition, but the God of Israel will.
