Russia, China, and Iran Take Center Stage Before the Last Act

Some people involve themselves with the past and all that it can teach them. Those involved in tomorrow’s affairs study the futures markets and observe the prophets and prognosticators in every detail. According to the Bible, the great crowd of people in between seek picayune pursuits with no gravitas or importance, even as the foundations of their world begin to crack and crumble. Jesus said, “But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying, and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark.” (Mt 24: 37-38)

Thank you. You’ve brought the Biblical worldview in to the talking heads of the world news. Knowing the Bible is like reading the last chapter of a book…the book of civilization. God’s creation and all mankind is given the news before it happens. It’s seeing it happening as the years go by. Thank you. My spirit has been refreshed reading your article.

Sue, thank you for your kind remarks. Yes, we study history, political science, culture and more, yet, a look into prophetic scripture can put us on a straight path almost instantly. Sad that so many do not take the time.

You have some details wrong. Re-study carefully .....

God destroys Russia and its allies in the Gog-Magog battle of Ezekiel 38, 39
Russia is Gog. Iran, Turkey etc go with her and are destroyed by God. This is not the battle of Armageddon.
The Kings of the East (China and its Asian allies) battle the Anti Christ (the Revived Roman Empire consisting of Central European Nations) at the Valley/Mtn. of Megido (Har-Megido) in order to gain world hegemony. There, at the Second Coming of Christ, Jesus Christ appears and destroys them all, ushering in the Millenial Reign of Christ for 1000 years. This is all plain in scripture.

Possible order of the Battles
Battle of Damascus
Psalm 83 Battle
Battle of Elam
Ezekiel 38 Gog-Magog War/Battle
Battle of Armageddon

What is going on now in Ukraine is the precursor to the Ezekiel 38 battle and the Battle of Elam.
But the Battle of Armageddon is the final Battle and does not involve Russia (which will have already been destroyed)

The purpose of the first 4 battles is to scatter those ethnicities worldwide and convince them to believe on Christ (John 3:3, John 3:16). The Ezekiel War will reveal to the world that God exists and that the world must turn to him in belief since He alone fights that battle (not Israel).
Before the 7 year Tribulation occurs the rapture of the Church will occur and then AntiChrist will be revealed making everything that is happening now (albeit, they are precursors to the 7 year Great Tribulation) look tame.

see http://www.raptureready.com http://www.prophecydepotministries.net/
https://christinprophecy.org/articles/the-wars-of-the-end-times/

see Ezekiel 28 to see how Satan is cast out of heaven
Jesus is coming for the church of born again believers in the rapture pre-tribulationally see 1 Corinthians 15:51 and 1 Thessalonians 4:14

The Ezekiel 38 battle is devoid of China and only involves Gog (Russia) and her Islamic allies (Iran, Turkey) along with others.
It is not Armageddon. By the time Armageddon takes place (at the end of the 7 year Great Tribulation) Russia has already been destroyed.

There are other battles before Armageddon: the Damascus battle (Syria) in Isaiah 17:1 onwards.
Another battle is the Battle of Elam (southern Persia/Iran) in Jeremiah 49:38

Hi Sue and Michael. God bless you both and CFP.
I'll do this in two installations.

I WOULD LIKE EVERYONE AT CFP TO READ THIS POST PLEASE ... THE TIME IS LATER THAN WE THINK.

When one is born again one is sealed by the Holy Spirit and can never lose one's salvation.

Salvation is by grace alone, through faith alone in Jesus Christ plus nothing else ever, forever. Once saved, forever saved John 3:16
Ephesians 2:8-9
King James Version
8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.

Romans 4:5
“But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.”
King James Version (KJV)

Avoid any preacher or religion preaching salvation by works at all ! eg. John MacArthur ... even Billy Graham (was a Lordship Salvation teacher) ... such is the greatness of today's end time deceptions. That is why the Holy Spirit is in you when you are saved, to guide you into all truth.
https://expreacherman.com/
https://expreacherman.com/believers-justification/
https://expreacherman.com/what-is-grace/
https://expreacherman.com/2-free-booklets-dr-cucuzza/

Now that you are saved, God Jehovah the Holy Spirit will speak to you ... about the end times and the imminent return of Jesus Christ for the 'eklesia' (the called out ones/the church). Get ready then.


SO ... we are guided by the Word of God exclusively and what did Jesus Christ (God in the flesh) say about God the Holy Spirit ? Here (and use this as your guide in these end times) : the Word of God never lies but is truth -



John 16:13
“Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.”

Ephesians 1:13,14
“in whom ye also, having heard the word of the truth, the gospel of your salvation, — in whom, having also believed, ye were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, which is an earnest of our inheritance, unto the redemption of God’s own possession, unto the praise of his glory.” TO BE CONTINUED IN NEXT POST

You are right Ezekiel's war does involve Iran, China and Russia but The final war is right behind. Perhaps I over generalized but the outcome is the same.

Thanks

As I answered the 99% question on my Eschatology test in college which consisted of 4 pages… 3 were to write out the different views of the end times, last page question: What is your view? My answer…It doesn’t matter how I define it, what matters is ,”Do I know Jesus Christ as my Savior.” I got an A+. That’s what matters, tho it’s interesting to read history, cultures and watch the world happenings and compare Scriptures. Psalm 31.15

Correct. Actually your article is good.

The line of demarcation will be the Harpazo. Then the time of the Gentiles will have been fulfilled (that dispensation) and then the dispensation of the Jewish people (the Time of Jacob's Trouble/the Great Tribulation) will begin. "He who hinders will have been taken out of the way" (the Holy Spirit indwelling the church) when the pretrib rapture occurs:

2nd Thessalonians 2: 6012
6And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time.
7For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.8And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:9Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,10And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.11And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:12That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

Once the Harpazo occurs, the 7 year Great Tribulation begins, culminating with the Battle of Armageddon and the salvation of the remnant of Israel (the Jewish people)

Let us not forget the "anti-christ" will be accepted as the "messiah" by the Jews so he is most likely from Israel, at the very least born of a Jewess. A "Jew" who controls the world through buying and selling, sounds about right.

Hi Daniel. Regarding the AntiChrist:

Possibly Jewish?
https://forwhatsaiththescriptures.org/2019/01/13/antichrist-jew-or-gentile/

Possibly not Jewish?
https://ourministrylife.wordpress.com/2021/03/01/will-the-antichrist-be-a-jew-or-gentile/

Yes and/or No?
https://www.raptureready.com/2015/07/10/the-ethnicity-of-the-antichrist-by-thomas-ice/

If one is a born again believer, one is looking for the upper-taker and not the undertaker.
