THE COMING RUSSIAN INVASION OF ISRAEL
|
||
|
|
||
|
April 14, 1978
|
||
|
An open letter to...
|
||
|
|
||
|
Mr. Leonid Brezhnev, General Secretary
|
||
|
Union of Soviet Socialist Republics
|
||
|
The Kremlin
|
||
|
Moscow, U.S.S.R.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Sir:
|
||
|
Your days are numbered! Time is running out for Russia. This is
|
||
|
clearly set forth in Bible prophecy, which we will shortly point out
|
||
|
to you. Russia has very cleverly, so you believed, armed herself to
|
||
|
the teeth, while by treaties and overtures for co-existence she has
|
||
|
disarmed the rest of the world. But your plans are not hidden from
|
||
|
God nor from those who have read His prophecies.
|
||
|
It is very clear that you plan to blackmail the free nations of
|
||
|
the world by means of your overwhelming military might, into total
|
||
|
nonintervention while you attack Israel on the pretext of settling the
|
||
|
Middle East situation. You will very likely have the enthusiastic
|
||
|
support of most of the Arab nations as you make this attack on Israel.
|
||
|
But what they will fail to realize is that Soviet Russia will remain
|
||
|
true to her double-crossing tactics of the past, and once you are
|
||
|
established in conquered territory in Israel you plan to then absorb
|
||
|
the rest of the Middle East. And this would not be difficult once you
|
||
|
are there with your armed might.
|
||
|
But God has some violent suprises awaiting you in Israel. In
|
||
|
1968, shortly following the 1967 six-day war in Israel, we wrote an
|
||
|
open letter to Mr. Aleksei N. Kosygin, who was then Premier of Soviet
|
||
|
Russia. We feel it would be well to call your attention to the
|
||
|
contents of that letter, because the warnings to Mr. Kosygin ten years
|
||
|
ago are just that much nearer fulfillment today. You at that time
|
||
|
were arming Egypt for another attack on Israel. We warned you that
|
||
|
according to Bible prophecy the Arabs would never overcome Israel -
|
||
|
that God would again fight for them. That statement proved all too
|
||
|
true when through your misguidance you directed Egypt in her first
|
||
|
attack on Israel in 1973.
|
||
|
By now all the world knows that Egypt is thoroughly fed up with
|
||
|
your trickery and deceit. So you plan to soon take the matter in hand
|
||
|
and deal with Israel yourself, and once and for all eliminate Israel
|
||
|
from the map. But before you do so it might be well for you to read a
|
||
|
copy of the open letter which we sent to Mr. Kosygin in 1968, warning
|
||
|
him of the consequences of such action. Here is the letter we sent to
|
||
|
Mr. Kosygin:
|
||
|
|
||
|
An open letter to ...
|
||
|
|
||
|
Mr. Aleksei N. Kosygin, Premier
|
||
|
Union of Soviet Socialist Republics
|
||
|
The Kremlin
|
||
|
Moscow, U.S.S.R.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Sir:
|
||
|
This is a warning! You and the rest of the Communist world, who
|
||
|
have defied the God who created you, and have persecuted and murdered
|
||
|
millions of Christians and plotted Israel's destruction, beware. The
|
||
|
God of the universe is nearly finished with taking your abuse. You
|
||
|
and your comrades are destined soon to lead your nation into total
|
||
|
disaster as reward for the evil you have perpetrated.
|
||
|
Your doom was foretold some 2,570 years ago, as God, whom you
|
||
|
deny and hate, spoke through His prophet Ezekiel. If you can track
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
down a Bible somewhere in Russia, you will find the account of your
|
||
|
impending judgment in chapters 38 and 39 of Ezekiel, in the latter
|
||
|
part of the Old Testament. Just prior to this section, in chapters 36
|
||
|
and 37, the regathering of Israel as a nation is foretold and
|
||
|
described. The next two chapters, 38 and 39, proceed to tell how God
|
||
|
is going to allow you to enter the land of Israel, not for glory, not
|
||
|
for plunder, but for judgment.
|
||
|
God is the Judge and the Sovereign Ruler of His entire universe.
|
||
|
You have blasphemed and slandered your Sovereign. You have plundered,
|
||
|
castigated, and murdered millions of His subjects from the Baltics to
|
||
|
the China Sea. And you have meted out special persecution to those
|
||
|
who love and serve His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ. For His
|
||
|
chosen people, Israel, you are planning annihilation.
|
||
|
God is righteous. He would be unrighteous to ignore your crimes
|
||
|
and plans of total world takeover. To you and all who have rebelled
|
||
|
against Him, God has said, "Be sure, your sin will find you out." In
|
||
|
another place He said, "Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also
|
||
|
reap." And you are about to reap your judgment - in Israel.
|
||
|
God says He will be waiting for you in Israel in the latter
|
||
|
years. And who can deny that these are the latter years of this age?
|
||
|
You plan for the coming age of Communist Utopia, world-wide, with God
|
||
|
banished from the earth. But God promises the Millennium, with His
|
||
|
Son, Jesus Christ ruling as KING OF KINGS and LORD OF LORDS. Who do
|
||
|
you suppose is right?
|
||
|
Concerning you, or your successor, God said to the prophet
|
||
|
Ezekiel, "Son of man, set thy face against Gog, of the land of Magog,
|
||
|
the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him, and
|
||
|
say, Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the
|
||
|
chief prince of Meshech and Tubal: And I will turn thee back, and put
|
||
|
hooks into thy jaws." (Note: Gog is the political leader or chief
|
||
|
commissar of Russia; Maygog is Russia, the nation).
|
||
|
Magog, Meshech, and Tubal, spoken of here, were three sons of
|
||
|
Japheth, who was one of the sons of Noah, who survived the great
|
||
|
Flood. These three sons of Japheth are said to be the progenitors of
|
||
|
the races inhabiting Eastern Turkey, Russia and much of Siberia.
|
||
|
Notice that God speaks of your impending judgment here even
|
||
|
before He tells where it will happen. Then He goes on to state that
|
||
|
He will bring you, with your "army, horses and horsemen," down into
|
||
|
the land of Israel. Your unholy purpose is also described. Your
|
||
|
predator nation is out to take prey, and take prey in Israel, and in
|
||
|
Jerusalem, home of Christendom and Judaism.
|
||
|
You were dealt a small suprise in Israel in June of 1967. You
|
||
|
and your Politburo are the ones who have promoted the vengeance, the
|
||
|
hatred, and the arming of the Arab nations against Israel. You are as
|
||
|
interested in destroying Israel as you are in destroying Christendom.
|
||
|
You were undoubtedly greatly suprised to see the tiny nation of Israel
|
||
|
crush the imposing but not-so-great Arab confederation of nations. Be
|
||
|
assured of this: it was something more that the economic power and the
|
||
|
military prowess of the Israelis which put the Arabs to flight. It is
|
||
|
God who both prospers world empires and calls them into judgment.
|
||
|
We understand that you are rearming Egypt and Syria, along with
|
||
|
other Arab nations, for further battle with Israel. You have
|
||
|
declared, with your peace-gilded hypocrisy, that you will put
|
||
|
everything you have behind the Arabs against Israel. According to the
|
||
|
prophecy in Ezekiel, we declare that the Arabs will never overcome
|
||
|
Israel. God will again fight for them.
|
||
|
Your prophet, Lenin, forecast that Russia would defeat the
|
||
|
British Empire not on the banks of the Thames, but on the banks of the
|
||
|
Yangtze, the Ganges, and the Nile. The prophet Ezekiel, on the other
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
hand, forecasts that the anti-god Russian Empire will meet defeat not
|
||
|
on the banks of the Volga but on the banks of the Jordan, the Suez,
|
||
|
and Lake Galilee. This is an irony, Mr. Kosygin, an irony among
|
||
|
ironies.
|
||
|
In fact, you are soon to realize that the situation is so serious
|
||
|
that you will need to use the armies of Russia, and others, to win
|
||
|
this war you are perpetrating in the Middle East.
|
||
|
God says here through Ezekiel, that Persia, the present Iran,
|
||
|
will be with you, besides "Gomer and all his bands; the house of
|
||
|
Togarmah of the north quarters, and all his bands."
|
||
|
Gomer, spoken of here, was another son of Japheth (you can review
|
||
|
his genealogy in chapter ten of Genesis), and Togarmah was a son of
|
||
|
Gomer. Gomer is said to have settled the area that is now West
|
||
|
Germany and Poland, and Togarmah later went south into what is now
|
||
|
Western Turkey. So it appears that East Germany, Poland, Turkey, and
|
||
|
Iran will be going with you down into Israel "together with their
|
||
|
bands" - which possibly will include other Central European countries
|
||
|
you have enslaved.
|
||
|
Just how soon this will happen we do not know, but it cannot be
|
||
|
very far distant. You have set your mind to take Israel, and no doubt
|
||
|
you have other plans to seize the Arab nations.
|
||
|
But take heed: here is another warning to you from God, which He
|
||
|
spoke through the prophet Zechariah. He said, "Behold, I will make
|
||
|
Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when
|
||
|
they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem.
|
||
|
And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all
|
||
|
people: all that burden themselves with it shall be CUT IN PIECES,
|
||
|
though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it"
|
||
|
(Zechariah 12:2,3).
|
||
|
God warns here that all who lay hands on Israel shall be "cut in
|
||
|
pieces." Egypt and the other Arab nations have already been cut in
|
||
|
pieces by God's defense of Israel. And if they renew the war, even
|
||
|
with twice the armor and with much wiser and braver leadership, they
|
||
|
will again be cut in pieces, most likely in a much greater way, just
|
||
|
as surely as God is real. And when you bring your great armies down
|
||
|
from the North, they will be cut and quartered and fed to the wild
|
||
|
beasts of the field (see Ezekiel 39:17-22).
|
||
|
It is positively dangerous to touch God's chosen nation. To
|
||
|
Abraham, Israel's founder, God said, "I will bless them that bless
|
||
|
thee, and curse him that curseth thee" (Genesis 12:3). God has great
|
||
|
plans for Israel, and He doesn't plan to allow you or anyone to stop
|
||
|
Him.
|
||
|
It's quite plain to see why you desire to seize the Arab nations,
|
||
|
and destroy Israel. After all, Israel is the great ancestral home of
|
||
|
the world's great faiths. Christianity and Judaism. It would be
|
||
|
quite a psychological victory. Then also, the Dead Sea in Israel is
|
||
|
estimated to contain $1,270,000,000,000 (one trillion, two hundred
|
||
|
seventy billion dollars) worth of minerals. The potash alone in the
|
||
|
Dead Sea would fertilize the lands of the world for several centuries.
|
||
|
This would give you a tremendous economic advantage over the rest of
|
||
|
the world.
|
||
|
And with the vast oil deposits of the Middle East under your
|
||
|
control, you would have a strangle hold on the industry of Western
|
||
|
Europe. Then also, Israel is the land bridge from Europe and the
|
||
|
Middle East into Africa. This would give you easy access into that
|
||
|
great Continent. So the taking of Israel and the destruction of her
|
||
|
peoples is quite important to you. But know this for sure - God is
|
||
|
watching your moves, and He knows your plans He will be waiting for
|
||
|
you in Israel.
|
||
|
In this 38th chapter of Ezekiel, God tells you to "be prepared"
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
and to make every possible preparation for this invasion. Go ahead,
|
||
|
make the most complete invasion plans ever made. Remember, you will
|
||
|
be fighting God Almighty, whom you say does not exist; but just in
|
||
|
case you should find He does exist, you will want the greatest army
|
||
|
and the finest equipment any army has ever amassed. But then realize
|
||
|
this: the larger your army and the more grandiose your plans and
|
||
|
preparations in every way, the greater witness it will be to God's
|
||
|
existence and to His power when you are destroyed by Him on the
|
||
|
mountains of Israel.
|
||
|
In this 38th chapter of Ezekiel, God says, "In the latter years
|
||
|
thou shalt come into the land that is brought back from the sword, and
|
||
|
is gathered out of many people, against the mountains of Israel, which
|
||
|
have been always waste: but is is brought forth out of the nations,
|
||
|
and they shall dwell safely all of them." This is a good description
|
||
|
of present day Israel, where the mountains have been reforested, and
|
||
|
the swamps reclaimed. They have been regathered from the nations into
|
||
|
their anceient land, and they have reclaimed and reforested the land
|
||
|
within your lifetime.
|
||
|
Then God says, Thou shalt ascend and come like a storm, thou
|
||
|
shalt be like a cloud to cover the land, thou, and all thy bands and
|
||
|
many people with thee" Ordinarily, we speak about going down south,
|
||
|
but God says that when you go south you are going to ascend. Could it
|
||
|
be that this means you will come with a mighty air armada, dropping
|
||
|
supplies, equipment, and paratroopers? Coming "like a storm"
|
||
|
certainly describes the deafening roar of a vast air armada. And
|
||
|
"covering the land like a cloud" aptly describes a vast air drop.
|
||
|
Evidently, you are also going to send a good portion of your army
|
||
|
on horseback. That seems rather strange in this day of mechanized
|
||
|
war. But we have been informed that you have purchased horses from
|
||
|
all over America and throughout South America and elsewhere. Your
|
||
|
explanation has been that you needed them on the farms. Are you
|
||
|
really using horses for plowing in this day of mechanized farming?
|
||
|
Another strange thing is that God says here, through Ezekiel,
|
||
|
that you will have weapons that can be burned. Could it be that
|
||
|
science will soon advance to the place where metal and mechanized army
|
||
|
units will be obsolete because of powerful neutralizing rays that are
|
||
|
being developed?

|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
You have asserted that there is no God. You have published it,
|
||
|
and you have seen to it that one billion or so impressionable students
|
||
|
have been so informed or taught around the earth. You have acted as
|
||
|
if you believe there is no God before whom you will one day stand for
|
||
|
judgment. You have no use for the Bible or its teachings.
|
||
|
Nevertheless, on the mountains of Israel, YOU are destined to teach
|
||
|
the nations with great testimony both as to the existence of God and
|
||
|
as to the soverignty of God over the affairs of men and their
|
||
|
governments. This will be the greatest lesson the world has had in
|
||
|
many years - in fact, in several millennia, since the days of the
|
||
|
Egyptian Pharaoh, to be exact.
|
||
|
Ironically, even as Pharaoh of Egypt became a leading example of
|
||
|
God's sovereignty in the Old Testament era, so you or your successor
|
||
|
are destined to become the great example of God's sovereignty in the
|
||
|
era of Christendom. In fact, the nature of the cosmic judgments that
|
||
|
befell Egypt may be remarkably parallel to the judgment that is your
|
||
|
destiny. To better understand the nature of your coming judgment, you
|
||
|
may wish to read Exodus, chapters 7 through 14, which gives the
|
||
|
account of the destruction of Egypt in that former day.
|
||
|
God says through the prophet Ezekiel that the Israeli Army will
|
||
|
not need to conquer you. God is going to take care of that little
|
||
|
matter. And it is a very little matter when you consider the Almighty
|
||
|
God, Creator of all. Russia and all her cohorts are as nothing when
|
||
|
compared to the great God of the universe, Who has created all things
|
||
|
and Who holds all things in His hand.
|
||
|
Also, be apprised of the fact that you will not be prevented in
|
||
|
your evil intentions by the nations of the earth, the Western powers.
|
||
|
They will not come to help Israel. They may talk; they may vacillate;
|
||
|
they may watch; they may even complain; but they will fail to act.
|
||
|
They may disapprove, and ask what you are doing. Here is what will
|
||
|
happen among the commercial or Western powers: God says "Sheba and
|
||
|
Dedan, and the merchants of Tarshish, with all the young lions
|
||
|
thereof, shall say unto thee, Art thou come to take a spoil? hast thou
|
||
|
gathered thy company to take a prey? to carry away silver and gold, to
|
||
|
take away cattle and goods, to take a great spoil?" Many Bible
|
||
|
scholars suggest that Tarshish represents the commercial or maritime
|
||
|
powers of the world.
|
||
|
No, you will have no trouble in approaching Israel, as far as
|
||
|
other governments are concerned, or even from the Israeli Army. But
|
||
|
there, on the mountains of Israel, you will meet your God!
|
||
|
God says here, "And I will bring thee against my land, that the
|
||
|
heathen may know me, when I shall be sanctified in thee, O Gog, before
|
||
|
their eyes."
|
||
|
Here's what will happen: God's anger is fiercely burning toward
|
||
|
you, and He has prophesied thus: "In my jealousy, and in the fire of
|
||
|
my wrath have I spoken, surely in that day there shall be a great
|
||
|
shaking in the land of Israel; so that the fishes of the sea, and the
|
||
|
fowls of the heaven and the beast of the field, and all creeping
|
||
|
things that creep upon the earth, and all the men that are upon the
|
||
|
face of the earth, shall shake at my presence, and the mountains shall
|
||
|
be thrown down, and the steep places shall fall, and every wall shall
|
||
|
fall to the ground. And I will call for a sword against him
|
||
|
throughout all my mountains saith the Lord God: every man's sword
|
||
|
shall be against his brother. And I will plead against him with
|
||
|
pestilence and with blood; and I will rain upon him, and upon his
|
||
|
bands, and upon the many people that are with him, an overflowing
|
||
|
rain, and great hailstones, fire, and brimstone. Thus will I magnify
|
||
|
myself, and sanctify myself; and I will be known in the eyes of many
|
||
|
nations, and they shall know that I am the Lord."
|
||
|
Unless you repent of your evil intentions and values, this will
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
surely come to pass, and it may be very soon. Your armies will be
|
||
|
destroyed by earthquake, by flood, by great hailstones, by fire and
|
||
|
brimstone! You will perish upon the mountains of Israel as a witness
|
||
|
to the Almighty God, whom you despise and deny. Among those remaining
|
||
|
alive, there will be such confusion that they will annihilate each
|
||
|
other because "every man's sword shall be against his brother."
|
||
|
Further on, God says, "I will turn thee back and leave but the sixth
|
||
|
part of thee" (Ezek 39:2).
|
||
|
Then in the 39th chapter, God says, somewhat ironically, that He
|
||
|
will give your bodies to the birds and the beasts of the field. He
|
||
|
started out this prophecy with the figure of speech that He wwould
|
||
|
"put hooks in your jaws." It is in the market place where we see
|
||
|
animals, often quartered, with hooks in their jaws, hanging where it
|
||
|
is possible for the meat cutter to cut off portions for his customers.
|
||
|
God will serve the portions of your flesh to the animals of the field.
|
||
|
God says here, "Speak unto every feathered fowl, and to every beast of
|
||
|
the field, assemble yourselves, and come; gather yourselves on every
|
||
|
side to my sacrifice that I do sacrifice for you, even to a great
|
||
|
sacrifice upon the mountains of Israel, that ye may eat flesh and
|
||
|
drink blood....Thus ye shall be filled at my table with horses...with
|
||
|
mighty men, and with all men of war, saith the Lord God."
|
||
|
The irony is this - the predators of the field will feed upon the
|
||
|
armies of the predator nation, and the vultures of the air will feast
|
||
|
upon the armies of a vulture government. And who will then complain
|
||
|
of such poetic justice? "Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also
|
||
|
reap."
|
||
|
God further says here that all the men of Israel will be busy
|
||
|
burying your bodies to clean up the land. He says later on that they
|
||
|
will hire men in continual employment in your burial. This burial
|
||
|
will take seven months. That will be ample time for the birds of the
|

|
air and the predators of the field to feast sumptuously.
|
||
|
And here is a strange thing, but it shall happen. God says,
|
||
|
"Behold, it is come, and it is done, saith the Lord God; this is the
|
||
|
day whereof I have spoken. And they that dwell in the cities of
|
||
|
Israel shall go forth, and shall set on fire and burn the weapons,
|
||
|
both the shields and the bucklers, the bows and the arrows, and the
|
||
|
handstaves, and the spears, and they shall burn them with fire seven
|
||
|
years; so that they shall take no wood out of the field, neither cut
|
||
|
down any out of the forests; for they shall burn the weapons with
|
||
|
fire."
|
||
|
We have been given to understand that you in Russia are making
|
||
|
weapons from a treated wood called Lignostone. This wood, we
|
||
|
understand, is chemically treated and stronger than steel, yet remains
|
||
|
elastic. The British are using a similar material for gears in their
|
||
|
large vehicles. We have also been told that it burns brilliantly,
|
||
|
with intense heat. So the Israelis may have remembrance of your
|
||
|
invasion for seven years as they use your weapons, or the materials
|
||
|
derived from them, for fuel.
|
||
|
To you, your Politburo, and your atheistic cohorts, we challenge
|
||
|
you to read about your destiny in these chapters in the Book of
|
||
|
Ezekiel, if you dare. In fact, reading the Bible in its entirety will
|
||
|
reveal to you something about the mercy of God, as well as something
|
||
|
about the justice of God. There is also something about forgiveness
|
||
|
of sins and Life everlasting.
|
||
|
God further warns here in this 39th chapter, "And I will send a
|
||
|
fire on Magog, and among them that dwell carelessly in the isles."
|
||
|
God says here that He will send fire and judgment upon the land
|
||
|
of Russia while your armies are invading Israel. So even at home, God
|
||
|
will search you out. The same fire shall also strike other parts of
|
||
|
the world "among them that dwell carelessly in the isles" where men
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
are given over to living for material things, for pleasure, for self,
|
||
|
and have little or no regard for God, their Creator. This could be
|
||
|
part of the same fire from outer space that is prophesied to strike
|
||
|
your armies in Israel.
|
||
|
God is faithful to His promises of judgment as well as His
|
||
|
promises of blessing. Both are certain. You can still make certain
|
||
|
of God's blessing in your own individual life if you will repent and
|
||
|
turn from your evil plans and turn to your God and Maker, and to
|
||
|
Christ your Redeemer. "Today, if ye will hear His voice, harden not
|
||
|
your heart..." (Hebrews 3:7,8).

Mr. Brezhnev -
|
||
|
|
||
|
There is one thing which we failed to point out to Mr Kosygin,
|
||
|
because at that time we did not think it was significant. The matter
|
||
|
to which we refer is that of Ethiopia. The Prophed Ezekiel
|
||
|
(Ezekiel 38:5) states that Lybia and Ethiopia will also join you in
|
||
|
your infamous invasion of Israel. The country of Sudan, north of
|
||
|
Ethiopia, was part of Ethiopia in Bible times, so it won't be
|
||
|
surprising if you will somehow include Sudan also among the invaders.
|
||
|
At the time of writing to Mr. Kosygin the matter of Ethiopia
|
||
|
seemed insignificant, first, because of her weakness, and second,
|
||
|
because we couldn't see how or why Ethiopia would ever get involved in
|
||
|
such a nefarious attack against Israel. But with Russia's involvement
|
||
|
so extensive now in Ethiopia, this matter becomes one of prime
|
||
|
importance, and very understandable. This teaches us again that we
|
||
|
can't take any statement by God as being insignificant, or
|
||
|
questionable.
|
||
|
It might be of interest to you to notice that not one of the
|
||
|
nations you have previously used in your invasions of Israel will be
|
||
|
included in your most infamous invasion. The reason for this is not
|
||
|
presently known. One reason could be that Israel may be forced to
|
||
|
occupy these nations, if they continue to harass and threaten her very
|
||
|
existence. There are Bible prophecies which appear to indicate that
|
||
|
this will be the case. There will no doubt be other reasons as well.
|
||
|
But the fact that the nations presently most hostile toward Israel
|
||
|
will not have a part in your coming ill-fated invasion, is certainly a
|
||
|
matter of real interest, even if at present we cannot be sure of the
|
||
|
reason.
|
||
|
Your invasion of Israel will very likely end communism in Russia.
|
||
|
We say this for the following reasons: Chapters 1 & 2 of the Prophet
|
||
|
Joel also appear to refer to your invasion of Israel, as the invasion
|
||
|
described by Joel has never yet occurred. And in 2:20 Joel has this
|
||
|
to say to Israel about the remains of your army after God is finished
|
||
|
with you in Israel: "I will remove far off from you the northern army,
|
||
|
and will drive him into a land barren and desolate, with his face
|
||
|
toward the east sea, and his hinder part toward the utmost sea, and
|
||
|
his stink shall come up, and his ill savor shall come up, because he
|
||
|
hath done great things." This states that those of your army who
|
||
|
escape annihilation in Israel, especially the generals and other top
|
||
|
officers, besides political leaders, will be banished into Siberia.
|
||
|
That's exactly the description of the land into which God says He will
|
||
|
drive your "northern army." Siberia, as you well know is a land
|
||
|
"barren and desolate." And Siberia faces the Pacific Ocean, no doubt
|
||
|
spoken of here as the "east sea." The Pacific Ocean is "east" of
|
||
|
Israel. And the "hinder part," or the backside of Siberia, is on the
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
Artic Ocean. This ocean could be termed the utmost sea." There,
|
||
|
your temperal judgment will be finalized. But there is also a
|
||
|
judgment to come, when all mankind will stand before God, there to
|
||
|
receive His judgment as to eternal destiny.
|
||
|
God is a God of mercy, and He will even there in Siberia grant
|
||
|
you forgiveness if you honestly and humbly seek Him and repent of your
|
||
|
ungodly attitudes and actions. The time of the great judgment will be
|
||
|
too late. "Today is the day of salvation."
|
||
|
Allow me to point out one more fact, Mr. Brezhnev. You have
|
||
|
endeavored to thoroughly downgrade God in Russia. But through the
|
||
|
fulfillment of this Bible prophecy God will be glorified by you and
|
||
|
all others who have sought to eliminate Him from the scene in Russia.
|
||
|
Here's what God says your attack against Him and His people in Israel
|
||
|
will accomplish:
|
||
|
"Thus will I magnify myself, and sanctify myself; and I will be
|
||
|
known in the eyes of many nations, and they shall know that I am the
|
||
|
Lord" (Ezekiel 38:23).
|
||
|
So even in this ill-fated invasion God will be glorified, and no
|
||
|
doubt many will be caused to place their trust in Him and in the
|
||
|
Savior, Jesus Christ. We greatly rejoice to know that God will
|
||
|
prevail and bring blessing and glory to His own. And we trust that
|
||
|
you also will one day desire to receive God's forgiveness, that you
|
||
|
too might enter His glorious presence as a son of God.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Very sincerely,
|
||
|
Ray W. Johnson
