The crisis in Ukraine is NOT going away. The Russians have too much at stake. The Ukrainians (Kyiv) are playing a game of brinksmanship that could unleash a thermonuclear exchange between the Russians and the West. Moscow is not averse to using an EMP (Electro-Magnetic-Pulse) weapon against the United States that would essentially eliminate the electronic functioning of our infrastructure produce instant chaos as food & fuel distribution systems collapsed and hospitals, heating and transportation (our vehicles wouldn’t run) would be unable to be used. With that in mind, consider the mindlessness of a Ukrainian Member of Parliament suggesting using missiles to target Russian nuclear power plants. “Moscow should know that they have nuclear power plants, such as we had in Chernobyl , and that our missiles will simply fly there. need missiles with a range of up to a thousand kilometers, which should be in service with us, and threaten Moscow preemptively.”[i]
Now, it was reported in the mainstream press that the Russians had completed their military maneuvers and were pulling back from the border. Supposedly the American sanctions had worked. But as Hal Turner reported, though troops started returning, “the military hardware (tanks, APC’s, Planes, Artillery, etc.) stayed right where it is. So if things get hot between Ukraine and Russia, the Russian Army can return troops to that hardware within hours, and be “invasion-ready” in less than a day. As such, I pointed out in my ongoing coverage that Russia was not ‘withdrawing’ but was merely making a strategic relocation of troops. They did this exact thing back in August, 2008, with the former Soviet state of Georgia. When troubles there erupted, the Russian Army was able to return to their equipment and invade Georgia within 6 HOURS.”
There’s something else going on here. President Putin is calling up Russian reserves to active military duty. “IN ADDITION TO the normal spring conscription for military service which, also began in Russia on April 1, the military plans to recruit 134 thousand people for the Spring conscription.”
And it doesn’t stop there. Our NATO ally Turkey has blocked NATO military aircraft from using Turkish airspace to fly back and forth to staging areas in Ukraine.[ii] This shifting of allegiance to the Russian bloc, though in its’ early stages had potential prophetic significance. Turkey is identified by most prophecy scholars as being a part of the Magog Alliance that, along with Russia, comes against Israel in the second prophetic End Times war described in Ezekiel 38.
The Prophetic Angle
Let’s look at the opening of the 38th Chapter in the Book of Ezekiel. That will give us a clue as to what is really going on here. “Now the word of the LORD came to me, saying, “Son of man, set your face against Gog, of the land of Magog, the prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal, and prophesy against him, and say, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD: “Behold, I am against you, O Gog, the prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal. I will turn you around, put hooks into your jaws, and lead you out…. Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya are with them, all of them with shield and helmet; Gomer and all its troops; the house of Togarmah from the far north and all its troops—many people are with you…. In the latter years you will come into the land of those brought back from the sword and gathered from many people on the mountains of Israel, which had long been desolate; they were brought out of the nations, and now all of them dwell safely. You will ascend, coming like a storm, covering the land like a cloud, you and all your troops and many peoples with you. ‘Thus says the Lord GOD: “On that day it shall come to pass that thoughts will arise in your mind, and you will make an evil plan: You will say, ‘I will go up against a land of unwalled villages; I will go to a peaceful people, who dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates’— to take plunder and to take booty, to stretch out your hand against the waste places that are again inhabited, and against a people gathered from the nations, who have acquired livestock and goods, who dwell in the midst of the land. Sheba, Dedan, the merchants of Tarshish, and all their young lions will say to you, ‘Have you come to take plunder? Have you gathered your army to take booty, to carry away silver and gold, to take away livestock and goods, to take great plunder?’”
(Ezekiel 38:1-4, 5-6, 8-13)
The prophet is speaking here of an invasion by a coalition of nations that surround Israel, determined on her destruction. Let’s begin to break it down. First it identifies the nations that will invade Israel in the last days. Ezekiel uses the ancient names, but with diligence, most can be traced with a reasonable degree of certainty to their modern equivalents. It’s important to do this in order to see the specificity of the Biblical prophecy. I rely on eminent Bible scholars Chuck Missler, Hal Lindsey and others to do the identification for us. Most scholars believe that Gog refers to the leader of the political / military alliance of invaders. 1 Chronicles 5:4, lists a Gog as one of the descendants of Reuben and Joel, and so related to Jacob. Perhaps there will be a connection there that we cannot yet see. The identity of Magog offers two candidates. The ancient Greek writer, Hesisod identified Magog as referring to the Scythians. The Jewish historian Josephus concurred in that appraisal. From there it is easy to trace the location of these Scythians. Archaeology has located that people in the areas east and north of the Black Sea, the Crimea and along the Don River. Chuck Missler further tells us that “…even the name “Caucasus” appears to have been derived from Gog-hasan, or “Gog’s Fort.” Therefore: Magog = Scythians = Russians. The first major player in the invasion is Russia….Well maybe its Turkey. The former Muslim and Palestinian terrorist-turned-prophecy writer, – Walid Shoebat, – makes an equally strong case that Magog refers to the modern day Turks. Relying on the Roman historian Herodotus as well as ancient Assyrian sources, Shoebat and others identify the Scythians or Lydians with their ancient homeland in Anatolia in Asia Minor in Turkey.

That controversy postponed, we now look to the allies! Meshech and Tubal were descendants of Japheth. Meshech becomes Muschki, referring to an area in modern Turkey. Tubal takes in parts of Turkey , Russia and Iran. Persia, of course, is Iran. Ethiopia (Cush) points to the Sudan, Put is equivalent to Libya. The descendants of Gomer, formerly from Turkey, eventually settled in the Rhine and Danube valleys. To this day, Armenians identify themselves as of “The House of Togarmah. This would mean Turkey, again. What is the common denominator? It is that with one possible exception, the invading coalition is one of all Islamic nations. (And that itself may be an argument for the notion that Magog is Turkey.)
But let’s look at this interesting twist. You may have noted above that the offspring of Gomer settled in the Rhine and Danube valleys. Could this be a connection to modern Germany? Now, Dave Hodges of The Common Sense Show offers this. He is reporting that under Angela Merkle, Germany is in the process of switching its allegiance from the US to Russia. Germany, along with much of Europe, is dependent on Russian energy supplies to keep it afloat. In 2014 Hodges reported that Germany could not survive 3 months on the energy reserves it had. It is fully dependent on Russian imports to get through a winter. Hodges warned that due to this fact-of-life, “NATO was in trouble, and one day America could be facing Russia, and potentially others, all on our own….Because of Russian energy, and other NWO forces, we would wake up in America, hopelessly surrounded.”[v] If that development is true, it would mean that another of the pieces of the Magog alignment could be falling into place.
