(1.) Togarmah. From History and ancient Geography we learn that Togarmah was ancient Armenia (Asia Minor). This area is now known as modern Turkey. In 1975, Turkey deported our military from its borders and closed 20 of our air bases. Prior to this, Turkey had opened the Dardanelles allowing the Russian fleet to sail out of the Black Sea into the Mediterranean Sea. Her ships were then in the Mediterranean, for the first time since 1918. In 1975, Russia matched the U.S. fleet ship for ship and now, in spite of the reverses suffered in the break up of the former Soviet Union, Russia is still a force to be reckoned with. During the Gulf War and the conflict with Kosovo, the U.S. and NATO had to beg for some use of Turkish airbases. Turkey will be with Russia when she invades Israel.

(2.) Persia. In 1935, Persia changed her name to Iran. She has always been associated with Russia, except during the reign of the Shah. The Shah endorsed Christianity and was a friend to the United States. We poured millions of dollars into this country. After the Shah was disposed of, Iran again showed her favoritism toward Russia. Yes, Persia (Iran) is leaning heavily toward Russia and will be with Russia when she invades Israel at the beginning of the Tribulation.
