All right, let's get to our prophecy update. If you're able to stay, we'd certainly encourage you to do so.

If you have to leave, we understand.

I want to answer a question.

It's a question actually that is asked often and it has to do with this prophecy that we've

been talking a lot about in Ezekiel chapter 38.

And specifically as it relates to the nations that are listed there in that prophecy, because

Ezekiel's prophecy lists them by their ancient names, there's been much in the way

of speculation as to who these modern day nations actually are.

So what I want to do, we've done this before, but it's been a while, but it's my hope that

at the conclusion of today's update, we'll all have a better understanding of who they are and

more importantly will also have a better understanding of why this particular

prophecy in Ezekiel 38 matters so much to us today. And it does. So we'll tackle that shortly.

In the interest of time, we're not going to take the time to read Ezekiel 38, but we do need to take the time to revisit the modern day nations that are listed in it. First though, I want to draw

your attention in yellow to the countries that are conspicuously absent from

the Ezekiel 38 prophecy which to me are more telling in some ways than the nations that are

listed there in the prophecy. They include Syria, notably, Iraq, Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon,

my birthplace, and perhaps even more notably Saudi Arabia,

who is mentioned in verse 13 with some specificity as it relates to the protest against this alliance of nations that launches this invasion and attacks Israel

for the purpose of taking what Israel has, namely the natural gas, the oil, the resources, the prosperity, the technology at all, all of which are present today

in Israel. Israel is very prosperous. And make no mistake about it. Russia in particular,

which we're going to talk about here, Russia in particular is, you'll forgive the

you know, illustration, but they're foaming at the mouth to get what Israel has.
