Is Russia Rosh, Gog or Magog?

OVERVIEW - The book of Revelation identifies “Gog and Magog” - The nations from the four corners of the Earth – Revelation 20:7-10 .  The prophet Ezekiel prophesied against a coalition of nations intent on invading ancient Israel, a force led by “ Gog, of the land of Magog, the prince of Rosh , Meshech, and Tubal ” ( American Standard Version ). In some interpretations, the figure labeled “ Rosh ” is identified with the modern state of Russia. Therefore, it is argued, the book of Ezekiel predicted a Russian-led attack against the nation of Israel in the “last days” - ( Ezekiel 38:1-9 ). - [ Photo by Jack Stapleton on Unsplash ].

Its sprouting foliage would signal the arrival of “ summer ,” the time of the fulfillment of “ all these things .” - [ Photo by  Johann Siemens  on Unsplash ].
