On Friday December 23, The UN Security Council passed a resolution calling for an end to the Judea and Samaria settlement enterprise and condemning it as an obstacle to the Israeli-Palestinian peace process.
In a dramatic and historic departure from past policy, the US president instructed America's Ambassador to the UN to refrain from vetoing the resolution. Since occupying the Oval Office in 2009, the Islamic Marxist US president has steadily moved away from supporting Israel, and in turn, has bolstered Israel's enemies by supporting the Muslim Brotherhood's Arab Spring, signing a nuclear weapons-enabling deal with Iran, and destabilizing the Middle East.
There are prophetic consequences.
All the while, Obama has fueled the narrative that the Russians are the bad guys. This narrative plays into a revived cold war mantra and continues fanning the flames among Christians who want to believe that Russia is the Gog of Ezekiel 38 who leads a force against Israel in a colossal end time battle.
After years of study on this topic, I am convinced that Russia is not Gog. The coalition, led by "Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal (v 38:3)" are Persia, Ethiopia, Libya, Magog, Gomer and Togarmah. Ancient history and maps confirm that Magog, Meshech, Tubal, Gomer and Togarmah are located in modern Turkey. Persia is modern Iran. Libya is Libya and Ethiopia is likely modern Sudan.
While Russia may be part of the invading force, it is not Gog. Neither is America, but the actions of our president may have placed the US in prophetic peril.
The Lord says in Zechariah 12:3, "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."
Many find it hard to imagine how the US could ever be part of the nations gathered prophetically against Israel. The lame duck US president has crossed that line and has shown the world, and God Almighty, how this could happen by not vetoing the UN resolution.
This UN resolution is permanent because of America.
Americans chose a leader-not once but twice-who audaciously broke with supporting the only true democracy in the Middle East and sided with the sponsors of Islamic terrorism. In doing so, Barack Obama also led America onto the side of Israel's enemies and the enemies of God himself.
Israel's Finance Minister Moshe Kahlon was profound in his criticism of the US president, saying, "We've talked a lot about the significance of the Security Council resolution, but we need to take note of one thing: how our best friends in the UN turned their backs on us at the moment of truth."
Indeed, it is noted on earth as it is in heaven. Fortunately, the next President vows to reverse this dangerous trend.
Let us pray for our new President and for mercy for our nation.
