Question
When will Russia attack Israel?
Answer
The word of God in Ezekiel, Chapters 38, 39, and
Daniel, Chapter 9, lets us know when Russia will invade Israel.
Ezekiel 38:8 reveals that Israel will be a nation in their land of
Palestine and dwelling in safety. They were recognized by the United
Nations May 14, 1948, as a sovereign nation. Since that time they have
never dwelt in peace and safety. She warred in 1955 and ‘56. In 1967,
Israel had a tremendous victory in what was called the 6-Day War. 1973
was a different story! Israel lost as much as she had gained in the 1967
war. In 1973, the Yom Kippur War, during the first few hours, Israel
lost about 5,000 men, over 600 tanks, and almost all of her air force
was knocked out of the sky. Had it not been for the United States,
Israel would have "gone down the drain" right then! We came to her aid
in replenishing everything she had lost. The 1974, August issue,
Reader’s Digest called it the greatest airlift in History when President
Nixon and the United States backed Israel.
Israel will not have peace, no matter how many peace
agreements are signed, until she makes a covenant with the Antichrist,
who promises her perpetual peace (Daniel 9:27). This will not take place
until right after the Rapture. Israel will erect her Temple and offer
the sacrifices under the old Levitical system. A school in Tel Aviv has
been training hundred of "cohens" (priests) for just such service.
Ezekiel 38:8,11,14 shows us that Israel will not have
an army, soldier or weapon to defend herself with, as her full
confidence is in her covenant with the Antichrist whom she believes to
be the long-promised Messiah. Ezekiel 38:15 tells us Russia will invade
with an army on horseback, not with atomic or nuclear weapons. Why? That
is all she will need as Israel will be defenseless.
