Today, I want to talk about something that’s really heating up—Russia’s escalating threats against NATO and the European Union. Vladimir Putin is ratcheting up his rhetoric very strongly, and I think we’re seeing developments with very significant prophetic implications. I’ll walk you through seven signs that the US and NATO are preparing for potential war with Russia, and I want to show you how this connects to the prophecy in Ezekiel chapters 38 and 39 about the coming Gog-Magog invasion. Russia’s growing aggression against the West is exactly what the Bible predicts will happen in the End Times when Russia and its allies—primarily Turkey and Iran—will attack Israel. Also in this episode, I’ll answer your questions about 2 Thessalonians 2:3 and the Rapture timeline, what Jesus knew about His return, and what happens to children at the Rapture.

The End Times Timeline: God’s Eternal Plan Revealed
This small comprehensive book, The End Times Timeline provides believers with an accessible framework for understanding biblical prophecy. It traces God’s prophetic program from the Old Testament through the eternal state. What’s particularly noteworthy is how current events align with ancient predictions—Israel’s restoration, technological advances enabling global surveillance, and the geopolitical alignment of nations mentioned in Ezekiel 38–39.
The timeline identifies key prophetic milestones: the Rapture preceding the Tribulation, the rise of Antichrist, the rebuilt Temple, and Christ’s Second Coming. While some debate the timing of particular events like the Gog-Magog War, the overall framework reflects solid Bible research. This resource serves as an excellent tool for both new believers seeking prophetic clarity and mature Christians desiring to understand their place in God’s unfolding plan.
