When Will God Destroy Russia? By: Dr. Max D. Younce

Question When will God destroy Russia? Answer
In Ezekiel, Chapters 38, 39, "Gog" is referring to the
ruler of the country and "Magog" the nation of Russia. In Ezekiel 38:18
God says, "And it shall come to pass at the same time when Gog shall
come against the land of ISRAEL, saith the Lord God, that my fury shall
come up in my face." In 38:22 God tells how Russia will be
destroyed, "...and I will rain upon him (Russia), and upon his
lands (i.e., her allies: Persia, Ethiopia, Libya, Germany and Turkey The total annihilation of Russia and her allies is given in Ezekiel 39:2, "And I will turn thee back, and leave but the sixth part of thee, and will cause thee to come up from the north parts, and will bring thee upon the mountains of Israel". Notice carefully the word "sixth". It is the Hebrew "shashah", but this is not the word that appears in the Hebrew text. The Hebrew word in the manuscript is the Hebrew "shawshaw" meaning "TOTAL ANNIHILATION". The two words are similar in spelling, pronouned the same, but have entirely different meanings! The literal reading should be, "I will turn thee back, and will leave nothing but "total annihilation" of thee". After this destruction, it will take Israel seven years to burn all the weapons of these six great nations, led by Russia. "And they shall burn them with fire seven years". It will take Israel seven months to bury all the visible dead. (Ezekiell 39;12). After that, they will continue to search for charred and buried bodies beneath the rubble. Ezekiel 39:14 tells us that, "After the end of seven months shall they search (i.e., for more corpses)". All of this foretold 2600 years ago. II Peter 1:21 tells us, "For the prophesy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost". 2,000 years ago, Jesus Christ prophesied that "He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life: but the wrath of God abideth on him". Only "The fool hath said in his heart, there is no God". (Psalm 14:1).
