A @Christadelphians Video: In this thought-provoking Bible talk, we explore the compelling scriptural connections between current geopolitical events involving Russia and the Bible's detailed prophecies for the "time of the end." How do the headlines of today align with the ancient predictions in Ezekiel, Daniel, and Zechariah? We provide an insightful, expositional journey through the Scriptures to reveal how God's word outlines the rise and role of a northern power in the latter days. This exceptional presentation examines the historical and prophetic identity of Russia, the divine principle that God's word always accomplishes its purpose, and the role of angelic beings in world events. We trace Russia's centuries-long quest for naval power and warm-water ports, a detail foretold in prophecy, and analyze how recent NATO expansions are setting the stage for a final, prophesied conflict that will culminate in the glorious return of the Lord Jesus Christ to establish God's kingdom on earth. If you are looking for an inspiring and insightful perspective on world events, this expositional talk will build your faith in the certainty of Bible prophecy. **Chapters / Timestamps:** 00:00 - Introduction: The Certainty of God's Word 01:20 - The Prophetic Principle from Isaiah and Habakkuk 03:42 - Angels at Work in the Kingdoms of Men 07:08 - A Glimpse into Angelic Conflict in Daniel 10 09:10 - Identifying Russia in Bible Prophecy (Ezekiel 38) 13:01 - The "Hooks" and Preparation for War 17:38 - Russia's Resurgence and Historical Context 23:45 - Peter the Great and the Quest for a Navy 28:01 - The Critical Importance of Warm-Water Ports 33:10 - The Annexation of Crimea and Modern Tensions 38:12 - NATO Expansion and Russia's Strategic Dilemma 42:14 - Modern Headlines: Remilitarization and Warnings 49:03 - The Prophetic "Restraining" and God's Sovereign Plan 53:09 - The Evil Thought: Russia's Final Target 57:32 - Divine Intervention and Christ's Return (Zechariah 14) 1:01:13 - The Kingdom of God: The Ultimate Hope 1:02:43 - Conclusion [embedyt] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5x2HkRb36aQ[/embedyt] **Bible Verses Covered in this Presentation:** 📖 Isaiah 55:10-11 📖 Habakkuk 2:2-3 📖 Daniel 4:17 📖 2 Chronicles 16:9 📖 Daniel 10:12-13, 20 📖 Ezekiel 38:1-8, 10-11 📖 Daniel 11:40-41, 45 📖 Joel 3:1, 9-10 📖 2 Thessalonians 2:3-8 📖 Isaiah 46:9-11 📖 Zechariah 14:2-4, 16 📖 Isaiah 2:2-4 📖 Micah 4:3-4 **Tags:** Bible prophecy, Russia prophecy, Ezekiel 38, end times, Christ return, current events, Daniel 11, biblical exposition, Gog and Magog, Christian teaching, eschatology, kingdom of God, geopolitics and bible We are a Christadelphian team dedicated to providing outstanding, scriptural content to encourage and build up your faith.
