G. The Consequences of Russia's Plan.

G. The Consequences of Russia's Plan.
GOD will be the destroyer of Russia and her armies, NOT the Antichrist! In Ezekiel 38:22, God makes it perfectly clear that He will render the judgment and destruction of Russia and her armies, not the Antichrist.
“And I will plead against him with pestilence and with blood; and I will rain upon him, and upon his bands, and upon the many people that are with him, an overflowing rain, and great hailstones, fire, and brimstone.”
The word “PLEAD” is a very interesting word. We think of this word in the English as God is pleading, begging, or trying to convince Russia not to invade Israel; but, this is not the meaning of the Hebrew word. The Hebrew translated “plead” is “shaphat” and means “to pass sentence and punish). In other words, the sentence is already passed and the punishment is now going to be rendered.”
1. “Pestilence” – The Hebrew is “deber” and means – some kind of physical plague of sickness. God has used physical diseases many times for those who rebel against Him. He warned Israel before they went into the Promised Land, that if they rebelled against Him, He would bring physical infirmities upon them which could not be healed.
“The LORD shall smite thee in the knees, and in the legs, with a sore botch THAT CANNOT BE HEALED, from the sole of thy foot unto the top of thy head.” (Deuteronomy 28:35
Notice also in (Deuteronomy 28:27.
“The LORD will smite thee with the botch of Egypt, and with the emerods, and with the scab, and with the itch, whereof thou canst NOT BE HEALED.” (Deuteronomy 28:27
He is doing the same against Russia and her armies.
2. “I will rain.” – Hebrew is “matar,” a general rain.
3. “Overflowing rain.” – The Hebrew for this “rain” is “geshem” from a root word meaning “to rain violently, gush down, wash away”; and thus described as an overflowing rain.
4. “Great hailstones.” – These hailstones are the size of a “talent” in the Greek, which is about 120 lbs. each. The Hebrew for great hailstones is equivalent to those described in Revelation 16:21.
“And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent: and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great.”
God has used hailstones in His wrath of judgment many times. For example see Joshua 10:11; Exodus 9:22-26.
5. “Fire” – (Leviticus 10:1-2) destroyed Nadab and Abihu, sons of Aaron; (Numbers 11:1) consumed complainers; (Numbers 16:2-3) consumed 250 princes of Israel.
6. “Fire and brimstone” – Genesis 19:24-25 – Sodom and Gomorrah. Brimstone is the Hebrew “gophriyth” – describing it best as a resin, as from a cypress and sulphur, as equally flammable. This is the wrath of God and the means He uses to destroy Russia and her armies. 
When this judgment is rendered of God, it ignites the men of these armies to actually kill each other. Notice in Genesis 19:21.
“And I will call for a sword against him throughout all my mountains, saith the Lord GOD: every man's sword shall be against his brother.”
Let us stop for a moment and analyze the situation. Picture hundreds of thousands and millions of horsemen from six armies, headed by Russia, and enemies of God; headed for the destruction of Israel. Mountains are everywhere surrounding Israel which these armies are trying to cross. Then all of a sudden it begins to rain which escalates into a torrential downpour. Then many of the men become violently ill and fall by the wayside. Then hailstones begin to fall from the skies, each about 120 pounds, killing many of the men and their horses. Then fire, from seemingly out of nowhere, kills thousands more instantly.
The armies are in disarray as they realize that Russia, their leader, has led them into the wrath of Almighty God. They realize that only something supernatural could cause something like this to happen. Those left, now facing death, go berserk, and began killing each other until no one is left alive, thus fulfilling Genesis 19:21, just as God has said some 2600 years ago.
Hebrews 10:31 proved the foregoing to be so true.
“It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.”
God will get His glory, whether an individual or a nation gives it to the Lord; or whether He has to take it Himself. In Ezekiel 38:23, the Lord states specifically that he is in control of the nations of this world and why!
“Thus will I magnify myself, and sanctify myself; and I will be known in the eyes of many nations, and they shall know that I am the LORD.”
