Billy Graham often said, Christians should carry their Bible in one hand and the newspaper in the other. Our study of Daniel provides a great opportunity to do just that!
Jimmy DeYoung ( http://www.prophecytoday.com/) provides an interesting biblical tie-in to Russia’s recent agreement to sell air defense missiles to several countries.
A Moscow based newspaper reported that Russia has started fulfilling orders for air defense missile systems to seven countries including Syria, Libya, Iran and Venezuela, missiles that will be delivered within the next three years.
The ancient Jewish prophets Daniel and Ezekiel both speak about the nations listed in this report, Russia, Libya, Iran and Syria. Daniel 11 says that Syria will be the first of the aligned nations to come against Israel, Daniel 11:40-43. Ezekiel 38:2-6 mentions Russia, Libya and Persia, modern day Iran, as nations that will arm themselves to attack Israel.
Interesting isn’t it? What are your thoughts? What recent news events have grabbed your attention?
