Russia is the most dangerous and aggressive nuclear superpower in the world today. Surely that means Russia must be discussed in Bible prophecy. If you know its ancient biblical name, you can find prophecies about this nation in the Old and New Testaments.
In Ezekiel chapter 38, verse 8 refers to “the latter years”—the time we are living in now. This chapter contains some world-staggering news about the powerful Russian empire and its widely feared “prince.”
“And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, Son of man, set thy face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him” (Ezekiel 38:1-2).
The “son of man,” God’s human messenger, is to identify this prince. Unless he knows who the prince is, God’s messenger cannot deliver the message against him.
There are two specific individuals here. God gives the title of the prince so we can identify him. Even so, God still has to reveal who he is in the latter days. You can also identify this “son of man” who delivers God’s message about the prince. God has to reveal his identity and a lot more. The son of man also knows the modern names of Gog and Magog in these latter days—or he could not identify them.
