Russia has been held back, but will break forth
The scriptures are clear about Russia's destiny; the current "war of attrition" is simply an angelic pause that is allowing the situation in the Middle East to change.
September 6, 2026
Global attention has shifted from the Russia–Ukraine war toward the Middle East and Iran. Bible prophecy identifies Russia with the “Prince of Rosh” and “King of the North”, and speaks of a Russian-led alliance that will control Europe and invade Israel. Russia’s current difficulties are a temporary period of being “held back,” which has allowed Iran, Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis to be degraded and has created conditions for peace and prosperity in Israel. European countries are strengthening borders, expanding armed forces, and introducing or considering military-service programs, while Russia is preparing to mobilize additional troops. The path pointed out in the prophetic scriptures is inevitable.
