Enter Russia

The prophet Ezekiel calls the Antichrist "Gog, of the land of Magog, the prince of Rosh" (Ezekiel 38:2, NKJV). Scholars agree that the ancient land known as Magog is a powerful country or region of peoples to the north of Israel. "Rosh" is believed to refer to the Russian people. For these reasons a majority of Bible students believe that the Antichrist will rise out of the current chaos in the former Soviet Union.

Scripture points to the leading nations of Europe, indicating that they will be key players in the Antichrist’s world government, whose leaders will fully unite behind him. "These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast" (Revelation 17:13).
