Gog, Magog, Russia, Ukraine and the Antichrist
As Russia and Vladimir Putin invade Ukraine, we take a look as
many believers are saying that this is exactly what Ezekiel 38
and 39 speaks about regarding Gog and Magog. We also will take a
look at who the Bible describes as the antichrist according to
the scriptures.

We Have No More Tears Left
Ukraine’s history has been marked by tragedy and bravery. What
can we learn and how can we pray?
For more than a month, the world watched as Russia began
encircling the nation of Ukraine, all the while insisting it had
no plans to invade. Now we watch as the horror unfolds daily.
We’ve heard of artillery shells falling on a nuclear power
plant. Kindergartens and theaters bombed. Apartment blocks and
entire neighborhoods reduced to rubble. A tank obliterating
three people in a car. Hundreds of orphans walking into Poland,
some unaccompanied, dazed and crying into their scarves.
We’ve seen civilians defusing a live Russian bomb by hand.
Residents drinking water from water heaters after weeks of
surviving freezing temperatures with no electricity or heat. Air
strikes on at least 20 health care facilities, including a
maternity ward and a children’s hospital.
The Ukrainian response to such an onslaught has captivated the
world. The polling service “Rating” reports that 88 percent of
Ukrainians believe they will repel the Russian attack, and 98
percent support the actions of Ukrainian armed forces.
More than two million have fled for safety, but those who remain
have hardly surrendered. They are fighting back with Molotov
cocktails and hunting rifles in support of their military, which
has performed better than anyone—especially Vladimir
Putin—imagined.
Peter Wehner wrote in The Atlantic that “what drove support for
Ukraine were the human virtues being displayed in a terrible
human drama.”
“It was seeing ordinary people—including the young and the
elderly—act in extraordinary ways to defend the country they
love, against overwhelming odds. It was seeing people do the
right thing at the risk of death when nearly every instinct
within them must have been screaming: Do what you have to do to
survive, even if survival, though not dishonorable, is less
honorable.”
He continues, “Whatever fate awaits them—and right now the
Russians are laying siege to cities that are home to
millions—the people and the president of Ukraine [Volodymyr
Zelensky] have shown that love of honor never grows old, even to
a world that is sometimes indifferent, weary, and cynical.”
As Martin Luther King Jr. once said about fighting injustice,
“If a man has not discovered something he will die for, he is
not fit to live.”
In its tragic history, Ukraine has grown familiar with
suffering.
I visited the country in 2018 and found the main tourist sites
were monuments commemorating human atrocities in their nation’s
past. I toured the Famine Museum, a memorial to the millions of
Ukrainians who died of starvation in the 1930s when Soviets took
over their farms and confiscated their crops.
Other museums recounted the occupation by Hitler’s army in World
War II, when Kyiv alone suffered a million casualties—more than
the total number of American casualties in the entire war. In
the countryside, the fighting destroyed 28,000 villages.
The following day I visited a grassy ravine at the edge of the
city. Today Babi Yar is a park, a peaceful sylvan setting,
nestled in a neighborhood of shops and houses; but the very name
conjures up scenes of genocide. Babi Yar was Hitler’s first act
of mass murder in his campaign against the Jews. SS soldiers
rounded up the city’s Jews, stripped them naked, and
machine-gunned them at the edge of a cliff.
Around 22,000 died the first day and 12,000 the second. More
than a million Jewish Ukrainians died in the Holocaust,
including many relatives of Zelensky—a Jew, who understandably
finds it revolting that Vladimir Putin tried to present him and
the Ukrainian government as part of a “neo-Nazi” movement.
Hitler’s defeat led to four more decades of Soviet occupation.
When the USSR collapsed, Ukraine at last saw an opportunity to
become independent. In 1990, 300,000 Ukrainians formed a human
chain in a show of unity, linking hands along a 340-mile route
from Kyiv to Lviv.
The next year, 92 percent of the population voted for
independence from Russia. In a separate agreement, the new
nation gave up its nuclear weapons (the world’s third largest
stockpile) in exchange for security guarantees. As one of the
signers, Russia agreed to respect Ukraine’s territorial
integrity.
Democracy got off to a rough start in Ukraine. If you think US
elections are dirty, consider that in 2004, when the Ukrainian
reformer Viktor Yushchenko dared to challenge Viktor
Yanukovych—the party backed by Russia—he nearly died from a
suspicious case of dioxin poisoning.
Ignoring the warning, Yushchenko remained in the race, his body
weakened and his face permanently disfigured by the poison. On
election day, an exit poll survey showed him with an 11 percent
lead, and yet the incumbent government managed to reverse those
results through outright fraud.
In one of the little-known twists of history, deaf people
sparked a peaceful revolution. On election night, the state-run
television station reported, “Ladies and gentlemen, we announce
that the challenger Viktor Yushchenko has been decisively
defeated.” However, government authorities had not taken into
account one feature of Ukrainian television: the translation it
provides for the hearing-impaired.
On the picture-in-picture inset in the lower right-hand corner
of the television screen, a brave woman raised by deaf-mute
parents gave a very different message in sign language. “I am
addressing all the deaf citizens of Ukraine,” she signed. “Don’t
believe what they [the authorities] say. They are lying and I am
ashamed to translate these lies. Yushchenko is our President!”
Inspired by their translator, Natalya Dmitruk, deaf people
texted and emailed their friends about the fraudulent elections.
Soon other journalists took courage from Dmitruk’s act of
defiance and likewise refused to broadcast the party line.
Spontaneous protests broke out in major cities, and the Orange
Revolution was born.
In Kyiv, 500,000 flooded Independence Square, many of them
camping out in frigid weather and wearing orange in support of
Yushchenko’s campaign colors. Over the next few weeks, the crowd
swelled to a million at times. When outside observers proved
election fraud had occurred, courts ordered a new election—and
this time, Yushchenko emerged as the undisputed winner.
Ten years later, the Russian-backed candidate that Yushchenko
defeated was serving as president. He had amassed a fortune of
$12 billion and lived in a mansion complete with a private zoo,
a fleet of 35 cars, a golf course, and an underground shooting
range—while most Ukrainians were living in poverty. When he
halted the new nation’s tilt toward Europe and instead sought
closer ties with Russia, Ukrainians took to the streets once
again. Parliament ultimately ordered new elections, and a
pro-Europe president won.
A bearded guide named Oleg led me through memorials to the
“Heavenly Hundred,” a list of names honoring the 130 people
killed by snipers firing from government buildings during the
2014 uprising. Another 15,000 demonstrators were injured in the
same protest.
“This was an internet revolution,” Oleg said. “As word spread
online, taxis began offering free rides to protesters from all
over the city. I set up a prayer tent in the midst of half a
million protesters and spent 67 days there. We provided a place
for prayer, and distributed bread and hot tea to activists and
police alike. And now I make trips to the front lines in an
armored van, ferrying supplies of food and water to the soldiers
and civilians caught up in the conflict in Eastern Ukraine.”
Shortly after the 2014 “Revolution of Dignity,” Russia used the
opportunity to seize the Crimea peninsula and two other regions,
starting a minor war that set the stage for the full-scale
invasion we are watching now.
I think of the poignant poem by Ann Weems, “I No Longer Pray for
Peace.” Like many Americans, I feel a sense of helpless despair
as I see the death and devastation in Ukraine. How can we pray?
I pray first for the 40 million Ukrainians left behind,
struggling to survive as jets scream overhead and tanks target
their homes and hospitals.
I pray for the refugees streaming into Hungary, Poland, Moldova,
and Romania, as well as the thousands lucky enough to escape to
faraway places such as the UK, France, Canada, and the US. I
pray for the husbands and fathers who remain in their homeland,
risking their lives to repel invaders. I pray for the host
families who meet refugees at border crossings and train
stations with offers of free lodging.
I pray for the Christian ministries such as Mission Eurasia and
New Hope Ukraine, many of which were based in the bedroom
community of Irpin, scene of some of the fiercest fighting.
One of the leaders stated in a newsletter email, “We’ve learned
to love and to hate on a whole new level. We’ve discovered what
it means to hate evil to the very core of our being. And we
learned to love the truth. The truth that sets us free. … Many
of us just don’t have any tears left. Now we all are just so
angry about all the injustices done to us, and we ask the Lord
of Hosts to display His righteous judgment.”
I pray for the Russian soldiers. British intelligence has
intercepted some of their panicky phone calls home. They were
told they would be welcomed with flowers, as liberators, and
instead find themselves in the midst of a bloody war against
Ukrainians determined to resist. TheNew York Times issued a
report saying that some demoralized Russian units have laid down
their weapons and surrendered, or sabotaged their vehicles, to
avoid a fight.
I pray for the Russian people, who are hearing an entirely
different version of events. It’s a limited military operation,
they’re told, with no civilian casualties. Meanwhile, the
hostile West is trying to strangle their country economically.
Those who protest the war are arrested, and just using the word
war on social media risks possible jail time.
I pray for my own country, that we would not grow weary of
higher gas prices and a falling stock market or fail to support
those who stand up for freedom and justice.
Yes, I also pray for Vladimir Putin. Did not Jesus tell us to
love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us? It would
take a colossal miracle for a dictator with such ego-driven
determination to experience a change of heart—the kind of
miracle the exiled Hebrews witnessed in Nebuchadnezzar’s day
(Dan. 4).
Tish Harrison Warren wrote recently of the maternal rage she
felt while staring at the image of an anguished Ukrainian father
holding his young son’s lifeless, blood-stained body: “An
innocent child was violently killed because Russia’s leader
decided that he wanted a neighboring sovereign country as his
own.”
She found an odd kind of solace in the imprecatory psalms, which
call down God’s judgment on evil. “This is the world we live
in,” she wrote. “We cannot simply hold hands, sing ‘Kumbaya,’
and hope for the best. Our hearts call out for judgment against
the wickedness that leaves fathers weeping alone over their
silent sons. We need words to express our indignation at this
evil.”
For Christians, Putin offers a cautionary tale. After the Soviet
Union dissolved, formerly atheist Russia warmly welcomed an
influx of foreign missionaries who taught Bible in the public
schools, established a Christian university, and organized a
host of evangelical ministries. Many of them praised Putin, who
rebuilt churches and took their side on Russia’s version of the
“culture wars.”
Eventually, though, most foreign-based ministries were forced
out by a strategic alliance between Putin and his staunch
supporter, the Russian Orthodox Church. The official church
gained access to power and government sponsorship, while Putin
gained a loyal following.
In light of this, Russell Moore draws a lesson we dare not
ignore: “Evangelical Christians should watch the way of Vladimir
Putin—and we should recognize it whenever we are told that we
need a Pharaoh or a Barabbas or a Caesar to protect us from our
real or perceived enemies. Whenever that happens, we should
remember how to say, in any language; ‘Nyet.’”
Philip Yancey is the author of many books including, most
recently, the memoir Where the Light Fell.

There will be three future defeats of Russia in the fulfillment
of prophecy:
1. Russia will have to be defeated in the formation of the ten
kingdoms, for she must lose her hold on Hungary, Romania,
Bulgaria, and other parts of the old Roman Empire which she now
controls. Russia, herself never was a part of the old Roman
Empire and cannot be one of the ten kingdoms which must be
formed therein to fulfill prophecy, but she has control over
some who will be a part of that territory, Dan. 2:39-45; 7:7, 8,
19-24; Rev. 13:1; 17:9-17. It being inconceivable that Russia
would let these holdings go, without a war, it can be expected
that a war will break out in Europe, Asia, and Africa which will
result in defeat to Russia and the formation of these ten
kingdoms.
2. Russia will again be defeated when the Antichrist arises out
of one of the ten kingdoms (after a short space as independent
kingdoms), when he overthrows three of the ten kingdoms in a
period of three and one-half years, causing the other six to
submit to him without further struggle, Dan. 7:8, 19-24; Rev.
17:8-17. A war will then break out between the ten kingdoms
under Antichrist and Germany, Russia, and the other countries in
the north and east of the ten kingdoms which will last about
three and one-half years, Dan. 11:44. In this war, Russia and
her allies being defeated, the Antichrist will then become the
ruler of Russia also. He will proceed to lead his ten kingdoms,
together with the newly conquered countries of the north and
east, along with other nations who, though not yet conquered
will co-operate with him through the ministry of the three
unclean spirits—and they will all go as a united force against
the Jews in an effort to exterminate them, Ezek. 38-39; Zech.
14. With half of Jerusalem taken and the Jews almost destroyed,
Christ and the armies of heaven will suddenly appear in the
clouds of heaven to defeat the armies of the earth in one day's
battle and then set up a kingdom in the world forever, Zech. 14;
Mt. 24:27-31; 25:31-46; 2 Thess. 1:7-10; 2:8-12; Jude 14; Rev.
19:11-21; 20:1-7.
Thus Antichrist will become the chief prince of Meshech and
Tubal and the Gog of Ezek. 38-39 by conquest, not because he
will come from Russia. This is the war that some scholars claim
will take place in Palestine before the Battle of Armageddon,
but in this they are mistaken because the ten kingdoms must
first be formed and be conquered by the Antichrist from Syria
before the war with Russia takes place. This war will not be
fought in Palestine, but in the countries to the north and east
of the ten kingdoms (Dan. 11:44), and then will come the
invasion of Palestine under Antichrist, at the very close of the
age, as shown in all the above scriptures.
3. Russia will be defeated at last by Jesus Christ and the
armies of heaven, and Judah, at Jerusalem, Zech. 14:14; Ezek.
38-39; Rev. 19:11-21. At that time Russia will be under
Antichrist; she will not be the leader of the nations at
Armageddon. This war will be fought in Palestine, not in the
countries north and east of the ten kingdoms as the war in point
2 above, Ezek. 38-39; Zech. 14. Thus, Russia will never fulfill
many of the predictions some of the scholars claim she will.
Actually, Antichrist from Syria will fulfill these many
scriptures they refer to, and Russia will merely be one of many
allies of Antichrist after he conquers her as in the second war,
above.[/b]

Oh, So Is THIS What They’re Up To?
As the war in Ukraine enters its fourth month, those who provide
history and context around the conflict – from Chomsky to Tucker
Carlson - continue to be silenced and smeared. But as sanctions
on Russia only seem to be hurting everyday Americans, isn’t it
time we had a real debate about the Ukraine war? #putin #biden
