In Daniel 7, a governmental animal is described as a Bear with three ribs in its mouth. The Bear is told, "Get up and eat your fill of [human] flesh!"  A few verses later a monster creature is described as having ten horns, but "three of the first horns were uprooted."

For many years we have taught in Lesson 4 here on the website (even when it seemed improbable) the Bear, representing the Old Soviet Union, would re-emerge from its slumbering (political/military) hibernation to attack the Biblical creature with ten horns--Western Europe.

Russia could also attack the US; from here, the stage will be set for Antichrist's cryptic rise out of the ashes of World War III to a position of power.  The Man of Sin will arrive on the world scene with global displays of Satanic signs and wonders (2 Thessalonians 2:9); thereby, winning the adoration and worship of the masses. This is the "powerful delusion" God will send upon the planet for the majority of earth's population who "refused to love the truth and so be saved."  For this reason, "God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie and so that all will be condemned who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness," (2 Thessalonians 2:10-12).

The August 2008 Georgian war has had repercussions beyond the immediate casus belli between Russia and Georgia. It has raised as yet unanswered questions about future European security architecture on Russia's border, and it continues to affect the US-Russian relationship in a negative way.

New articles continue to be published exposing Russia's (Magog) growing anger with the West and its mounting alliance with Muslim countries, including Iran (Persia) and Cush (Northern Nile & Africa regions: Libya proof-1; proof-2; proof-3; proof-4; proof-5, proof-6, and Sudan).  Military maneuvering to increase the Bear's show of power in the Mediterranean/European theatre and other regions of the world is gaining frequency. Putin will likely be elected as Russia's president once again in March, 2012, for a third term.

These Muslin and radical alliances will eventually lead to the military showdown called Armageddon as foretold in the Ezekiel 38, just before the coming of Messiah (possibly involving Georgia and Turkey landmasses (proof-1; proof-2; proof-3; proof-4; proof-5; proof-6; proof-7) for Russian armies to reach Israel), although very soon we may see a devastating prelude to Armageddon--World War III.  Some may think the next major war is Armageddon and the end of all things because of the massive holocaust that could occur around the globe, but it will only be the beginning of sorrows (Matthew 24:7-8).
