Verse 10, “this is what the Lord-like-no-other, The Self-Existent One, Who exists forever (Adonai Jehovah) has to say, ‘at the time of your attack, you will proceed according to a preconceived, mischievous plan, diabolical in nature; you will talk to yourself about how you will militarily harass a land defenseless, living safely and at peace, unable to match and fend against your own military might, for the purpose of pillaging, openly robbing and plundering…’” Verse 14, “for this reason, son of man, (you are My mouthpiece) speak and tell Gog, this is what the Lord of all lords, Who is Self-Existing eternally, has to say, ‘in the day when My people are living securely, will you not be fully aware (knowing well their vulnerability)’”?
Still tough to envision, is it not? And yet, why should it be, knowing the diplomatic and trade ties between the two countries? How a nation like Russia could ever be so foolish as to consider war with a nation like Israel, for the purpose of taking a…a “what”(!)? Both nations are cash strapped and economically challenged, so what does a tiny, virtually insignificant little country like Israel possibly have that would ever satisfy the virtually unquenchable thirst of one as large as Russia’s? One would think that just the shear cost of an assault on a scale akin to the one portrayed here, might far outweigh negatively anything or, any benefit that might be gained from such a venture; particularly given the financial straits the Jews face right now. At six million, five hundred, sixty-two thousand square miles, what could a nation the size of Russia, with its vast resources, ever see in a nation like Israel, measuring only around 7.849 thousand square miles (indications are such that, or, they suggest that, Russia has far greater resources at its disposal, than Israel has space to live!)?
