E. Russia's plans for invading Israel.
E. Russia’s plans for invading Israel.
As we continue our study in Ezekiel, Chapters 38,39, we previously have shown that Russia and her allies will attack Israel on horseback. We would like to again emphasize the use of horses.
The following is from the late Dr. M.R. DeHaan, a great scholar of Bible Prophecy. In his writing concerning Ezekiel 38 and horses used by Russia to invade Israel, which was written in 1951, he states:
“And now, right while we are reading in Ezekiel 38 about Russia’s horses, my daily newspaper comes out with the information that one of our military leaders has been under severe criticism in Korea for allowing 5,000 mounted Communist horsemen to cross the Yalu River against our forces, without even being detected by our observers and reconnaissance planes. Very interesting indeed (even though it is tragic) in the light of God’s Word.”
Of all the nations in the world, one may wonder why God has chosen Russia to be the leader of five other nations, in an attempt to destroy God’s chosen people, the nation of Israel. Notice in Ezekiel 38:10.
“Thus saith the Lord GOD; It shall also come to pass, that at the same time shall things come into thy mind, and thou shalt think an evil thought:”
Evil thoughts come from the Evil One; Satan and his demons. Russia in the past, and has continued to the present; and will continue to deny, defile, and make a mockery out of the God of Creation. Little does she know of the grace of God that has allowed her to continue in her rebellion. Mocking God is, in essence, mocking yourself. Just as a boomerang returns to the thrower; so does the sower reap what he sows. Galatians 6:7 confirms this.
“Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.”
Where did it all begin? With the men in power, the leaders of Russia, Iran, Libya, Ethiopia, Turkey and Germany, haters of God, following the influence of Satan and his demons. In Acts 5:1-5, Ananias and his wife, Sapphira, followed the influence of Satan and lied to God, which cost them their lives.
"But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession, (Acts 5:1)
And kept back part of the price, his wife also being privy to it, and brought a certain part, and laid it at the apostles' feet. (Acts 5:2)
But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land? (Acts 5:3)
Whiles it remained, was it not thine own? and after it was sold, was it not in thine own power? why hast thou conceived this thing in thine heart? thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God. (Acts 5:4)
And Ananias hearing these words fell down, and gave up the ghost: and great fear came on all them that heard these things.” (Acts 5:1-5)
In Verses 9,10, Sapphira was struck dead for lying to God, the same as her husband.
These 6 nations have blasphemed God and followed the leading of Satan, the hater of God; their end being physical death and eternal death in the Lake of Fire. Russia’s goal has almost always been to abolish all religion from her nation.
Robert F. Kennedy, Counsel for Senate Investigations Committee, reported, following his visit to Russia in 1955, (U.S. News & World Report for October 21, 1955).
“In Leningrad they have a museum which is devoted completely to ridiculing God and people’s religious beliefs. For instance, as you enter, they have God sitting on top of the Cross, wearing a top hat, smoking a cigar and portrayed as a capitalist; while a working man is bent over carrying the Cross and Him.”
The leadership minds of the Russians are so diabolical and sick (mentally) with the fever of anti-God-ism that it even has implications beyond the scientific and military space achievements.
Time magazine quotes from a Russian magazine, KROKODIL, the last verse of a poem which indicates that creation, from the Communistic point of view is under new management.
“And here we have our Sputnik
No secrets; the newborn planet
Is modest about its size,
But this symbol of intellect and light
Is made by us, and not by the God
Of the Old Testament.”
Note: If you are a young person reading this, you might wonder, “What is a Sputnik?” The surprise launch of Sputnik 1, coupled with the spectacular failure of the United States of America's first two Project Vanguard launch attempts, shocked the United States, which responded with a number of early satellite launches. (Wikipedia). This is probably the first, and last, time the Russians beat us into space.
