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 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,

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

Their very survival depends upon it economically and specifically as it relates to the oil and the natural gas.
