Reply #11: The scenario in Ezekiel 38/39 seems very likely

[AntiCoup2K4]

First of all, Ezekiel 37 describes God showing the prophet a "valley of dry bones" from which the restoration of Israel will come. The mass graves of Hitler could easily fit that description, and Israel was (re)created as a nation just 3 years after the end of WWII.

The next 2 chapters deal with an invasion of Israel from a coalition of many surrounding countries. Persia (Iran), Libya, and Ethiopia are mentioned. Along with other cryptically named kingdoms such as "Gomer" and "Togarmah". But leading this invasion is a country referred to as "Gog, prince of Meshech". God tells Ezekiel that he will lead this country's army from the "far North" down to Israel where they will take charge of this invasion. Well, if you draw a line "far north" from Israel, guess where it takes you? Even more telling, the Hebrew word Meshech translates into Moscow.

So, an invasion of Israel with Russia leading a pan-Islamic coalition is entirely possible, at least from a prophetic viewpoint. And I'd say that Sharon and Junior have pissed off more than enough people to make it even more likely.
