As we entered twenty twenty-four, we saw Ukraine being pulled into extended fighting and leaders of West and Russia being pulled in too, with economic and human losses continuing. We also saw Israel fighting Gaza city inhabitants resulting in growing anger against Israel. Is this going to continue into Armageddon over the coming decades? The prophecies of Armageddon, include a gathering of many nations against the land and inhabitants called today Israel. The Ukraine phenomenon has similarities to the hook in the nose concept of the prophecy, with a tax lord, ‘Ros’ (compare the Kievan Rus of the Middle Ages), pulling nations into seeing the land and people of Israel at peace and invading it. The growing sentiments against Israel and the growing warlike stance of Kievan Rus successors in Kiev, might well develop over two more decades into an Armageddon scenario. It implies the Israel situation will develop into one of peace over the coming decades, before it all turns nasty. But Armageddon is a war won by God, turning into salvation for the land and people of Israel and the destruction of the invading armies. Israel has brought the hatred on itself but God will have mercy and will save. Then, a little later, the Christ will return, the Lord, Jesus.
