President Putin, Syria and Battle of Gog and Magog

Not only will events in the Mid-East not “settle down”, they are rapidly being “ratcheted up” with President Putin of Russia insinuating himself in events between the United States and Syria by posing an alternative to America’s intervention in Syria.  That being, Mr. Assad, ruler of Syria, turn over all “weapons of mass destruction” to a 3^rd party, pending some sort of verification.  What a dramatic change of events.  Perhaps more dramatic than seen at first glance.

Consider this.  President Putin has with this one stroke consolidated his and Russia’s hegemony in the Mid-East bringing to the forefront the possibility of the battle of “Gog and Magog”.  In this a leader from the north (of Israel) develops a coalition of nations that will attack Israel, coming through Syria and Iran.

Joel Rosenberg, writer and speaker, is “all over the map” (radio & TV interviews, blogs, addresses in America and abroad) speaking of the possibilities of the battle of “Gog and Magog”.  The issue here is to “hold our peace” because we know the G-d of all history has things under control.  At this point the issue simply needs to be raised: is Putin's so dramatically entering into the situation in Syria the precursor to the Battle of "Gog and Magog"?  Keep watch.
