THE COMING RUSSIAN INVASION OF ISRAEL April 14, 1978 An open letter to... Mr. Leonid Brezhnev, General Secretary Union of Soviet Socialist Republics The Kremlin Moscow, U.S.S.R. Sir: Your days are numbered! Time is running out for Russia. This is clearly set forth in Bible prophecy, which we will shortly point out to you. Russia has very cleverly, so you believed, armed herself to the teeth, while by treaties and overtures for co-existence she has disarmed the rest of the world. But your plans are not hidden from God nor from those who have read His prophecies. It is very clear that you plan to blackmail the free nations of the world by means of your overwhelming military might, into total nonintervention while you attack Israel on the pretext of settling the Middle East situation. You will very likely have the enthusiastic support of most of the Arab nations as you make this attack on Israel. But what they will fail to realize is that Soviet Russia will remain true to her double-crossing tactics of the past, and once you are established in conquered territory in Israel you plan to then absorb the rest of the Middle East. And this would not be difficult once you are there with your armed might. But God has some violent suprises awaiting you in Israel. In 1968, shortly following the 1967 six-day war in Israel, we wrote an open letter to Mr. Aleksei N. Kosygin, who was then Premier of Soviet Russia. We feel it would be well to call your attention to the contents of that letter, because the warnings to Mr. Kosygin ten years ago are just that much nearer fulfillment today. You at that time were arming Egypt for another attack on Israel. We warned you that according to Bible prophecy the Arabs would never overcome Israel - that God would again fight for them. That statement proved all too true when through your misguidance you directed Egypt in her first attack on Israel in 1973. By now all the world knows that Egypt is thoroughly fed up with your trickery and deceit. So you plan to soon take the matter in hand and deal with Israel yourself, and once and for all eliminate Israel from the map. But before you do so it might be well for you to read a copy of the open letter which we sent to Mr. Kosygin in 1968, warning him of the consequences of such action. Here is the letter we sent to Mr. Kosygin: An open letter to ... Mr. Aleksei N. Kosygin, Premier Union of Soviet Socialist Republics The Kremlin Moscow, U.S.S.R. Sir: This is a warning! You and the rest of the Communist world, who have defied the God who created you, and have persecuted and murdered millions of Christians and plotted Israel's destruction, beware. The God of the universe is nearly finished with taking your abuse. You and your comrades are destined soon to lead your nation into total disaster as reward for the evil you have perpetrated. Your doom was foretold some 2,570 years ago, as God, whom you deny and hate, spoke through His prophet Ezekiel. If you can track down a Bible somewhere in Russia, you will find the account of your impending judgment in chapters 38 and 39 of Ezekiel, in the latter part of the Old Testament. Just prior to this section, in chapters 36 and 37, the regathering of Israel as a nation is foretold and described. The next two chapters, 38 and 39, proceed to tell how God is going to allow you to enter the land of Israel, not for glory, not for plunder, but for judgment. God is the Judge and the Sovereign Ruler of His entire universe. You have blasphemed and slandered your Sovereign. You have plundered, castigated, and murdered millions of His subjects from the Baltics to the China Sea. And you have meted out special persecution to those who love and serve His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ. For His chosen people, Israel, you are planning annihilation. God is righteous. He would be unrighteous to ignore your crimes and plans of total world takeover. To you and all who have rebelled against Him, God has said, "Be sure, your sin will find you out." In another place He said, "Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap." And you are about to reap your judgment - in Israel. God says He will be waiting for you in Israel in the latter years. And who can deny that these are the latter years of this age? You plan for the coming age of Communist Utopia, world-wide, with God banished from the earth. But God promises the Millennium, with His Son, Jesus Christ ruling as KING OF KINGS and LORD OF LORDS. Who do you suppose is right? Concerning you, or your successor, God said to the prophet Ezekiel, "Son of man, set thy face against Gog, of the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him, and say, Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal: And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws." (Note: Gog is the political leader or chief commissar of Russia; Maygog is Russia, the nation). Magog, Meshech, and Tubal, spoken of here, were three sons of Japheth, who was one of the sons of Noah, who survived the great Flood. These three sons of Japheth are said to be the progenitors of the races inhabiting Eastern Turkey, Russia and much of Siberia. Notice that God speaks of your impending judgment here even before He tells where it will happen. Then He goes on to state that He will bring you, with your "army, horses and horsemen," down into the land of Israel. Your unholy purpose is also described. Your predator nation is out to take prey, and take prey in Israel, and in Jerusalem, home of Christendom and Judaism. You were dealt a small suprise in Israel in June of 1967. You and your Politburo are the ones who have promoted the vengeance, the hatred, and the arming of the Arab nations against Israel. You are as interested in destroying Israel as you are in destroying Christendom. You were undoubtedly greatly suprised to see the tiny nation of Israel crush the imposing but not-so-great Arab confederation of nations. Be assured of this: it was something more that the economic power and the military prowess of the Israelis which put the Arabs to flight. It is God who both prospers world empires and calls them into judgment. We understand that you are rearming Egypt and Syria, along with other Arab nations, for further battle with Israel. You have declared, with your peace-gilded hypocrisy, that you will put everything you have behind the Arabs against Israel. According to the prophecy in Ezekiel, we declare that the Arabs will never overcome Israel. God will again fight for them. Your prophet, Lenin, forecast that Russia would defeat the British Empire not on the banks of the Thames, but on the banks of the Yangtze, the Ganges, and the Nile. The prophet Ezekiel, on the other hand, forecasts that the anti-god Russian Empire will meet defeat not on the banks of the Volga but on the banks of the Jordan, the Suez, and Lake Galilee. This is an irony, Mr. Kosygin, an irony among ironies. In fact, you are soon to realize that the situation is so serious that you will need to use the armies of Russia, and others, to win this war you are perpetrating in the Middle East. God says here through Ezekiel, that Persia, the present Iran, will be with you, besides "Gomer and all his bands; the house of Togarmah of the north quarters, and all his bands." Gomer, spoken of here, was another son of Japheth (you can review his genealogy in chapter ten of Genesis), and Togarmah was a son of Gomer. Gomer is said to have settled the area that is now West Germany and Poland, and Togarmah later went south into what is now Western Turkey. So it appears that East Germany, Poland, Turkey, and Iran will be going with you down into Israel "together with their bands" - which possibly will include other Central European countries you have enslaved. Just how soon this will happen we do not know, but it cannot be very far distant. You have set your mind to take Israel, and no doubt you have other plans to seize the Arab nations. But take heed: here is another warning to you from God, which He spoke through the prophet Zechariah. He said, "Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem. And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be CUT IN PIECES, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it" (Zechariah 12:2,3). God warns here that all who lay hands on Israel shall be "cut in pieces." Egypt and the other Arab nations have already been cut in pieces by God's defense of Israel. And if they renew the war, even with twice the armor and with much wiser and braver leadership, they will again be cut in pieces, most likely in a much greater way, just as surely as God is real. And when you bring your great armies down from the North, they will be cut and quartered and fed to the wild beasts of the field (see Ezekiel 39:17-22). It is positively dangerous to touch God's chosen nation. To Abraham, Israel's founder, God said, "I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee" (Genesis 12:3). God has great plans for Israel, and He doesn't plan to allow you or anyone to stop Him. It's quite plain to see why you desire to seize the Arab nations, and destroy Israel. After all, Israel is the great ancestral home of the world's great faiths. Christianity and Judaism. It would be quite a psychological victory. Then also, the Dead Sea in Israel is estimated to contain $1,270,000,000,000 (one trillion, two hundred seventy billion dollars) worth of minerals. The potash alone in the Dead Sea would fertilize the lands of the world for several centuries. This would give you a tremendous economic advantage over the rest of the world. And with the vast oil deposits of the Middle East under your control, you would have a strangle hold on the industry of Western Europe. Then also, Israel is the land bridge from Europe and the Middle East into Africa. This would give you easy access into that great Continent. So the taking of Israel and the destruction of her peoples is quite important to you. But know this for sure - God is watching your moves, and He knows your plans He will be waiting for you in Israel. In this 38th chapter of Ezekiel, God tells you to "be prepared" and to make every possible preparation for this invasion. Go ahead, make the most complete invasion plans ever made. Remember, you will be fighting God Almighty, whom you say does not exist; but just in case you should find He does exist, you will want the greatest army and the finest equipment any army has ever amassed. But then realize this: the larger your army and the more grandiose your plans and preparations in every way, the greater witness it will be to God's existence and to His power when you are destroyed by Him on the mountains of Israel. In this 38th chapter of Ezekiel, God says, "In the latter years thou shalt come into the land that is brought back from the sword, and is gathered out of many people, against the mountains of Israel, which have been always waste: but is is brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell safely all of them." This is a good description of present day Israel, where the mountains have been reforested, and the swamps reclaimed. They have been regathered from the nations into their anceient land, and they have reclaimed and reforested the land within your lifetime. Then God says, Thou shalt ascend and come like a storm, thou shalt be like a cloud to cover the land, thou, and all thy bands and many people with thee" Ordinarily, we speak about going down south, but God says that when you go south you are going to ascend. Could it be that this means you will come with a mighty air armada, dropping supplies, equipment, and paratroopers? Coming "like a storm" certainly describes the deafening roar of a vast air armada. And "covering the land like a cloud" aptly describes a vast air drop. Evidently, you are also going to send a good portion of your army on horseback. That seems rather strange in this day of mechanized war. But we have been informed that you have purchased horses from all over America and throughout South America and elsewhere. Your explanation has been that you needed them on the farms. Are you really using horses for plowing in this day of mechanized farming? Another strange thing is that God says here, through Ezekiel, that you will have weapons that can be burned. Could it be that science will soon advance to the place where metal and mechanized army units will be obsolete because of powerful neutralizing rays that are being developed? ====================================================================== RUSSIA'S COMING INVASION ====================================================================== E. Germany)---------| | RUSSIA - U.S.S.R. | Poland ) | --------------|--------------------| | | | | Turkey | | | | | |----------- Iran (Persia) | | | | V V V | ************ | ** Israel ** <-------| ************ ^ ^ | | Libya ----------| | | |-- Ethopia ====================================================================== You have asserted that there is no God. You have published it, and you have seen to it that one billion or so impressionable students have been so informed or taught around the earth. You have acted as if you believe there is no God before whom you will one day stand for judgment. You have no use for the Bible or its teachings. Nevertheless, on the mountains of Israel, YOU are destined to teach the nations with great testimony both as to the existence of God and as to the soverignty of God over the affairs of men and their governments. This will be the greatest lesson the world has had in many years - in fact, in several millennia, since the days of the Egyptian Pharaoh, to be exact. Ironically, even as Pharaoh of Egypt became a leading example of God's sovereignty in the Old Testament era, so you or your successor are destined to become the great example of God's sovereignty in the era of Christendom. In fact, the nature of the cosmic judgments that befell Egypt may be remarkably parallel to the judgment that is your destiny. To better understand the nature of your coming judgment, you may wish to read Exodus, chapters 7 through 14, which gives the account of the destruction of Egypt in that former day. God says through the prophet Ezekiel that the Israeli Army will not need to conquer you. God is going to take care of that little matter. And it is a very little matter when you consider the Almighty God, Creator of all. Russia and all her cohorts are as nothing when compared to the great God of the universe, Who has created all things and Who holds all things in His hand. Also, be apprised of the fact that you will not be prevented in your evil intentions by the nations of the earth, the Western powers. They will not come to help Israel. They may talk; they may vacillate; they may watch; they may even complain; but they will fail to act. They may disapprove, and ask what you are doing. Here is what will happen among the commercial or Western powers: God says "Sheba and Dedan, and the merchants of Tarshish, with all the young lions thereof, shall say unto thee, Art thou come to take a spoil? hast thou gathered thy company to take a prey? to carry away silver and gold, to take away cattle and goods, to take a great spoil?" Many Bible scholars suggest that Tarshish represents the commercial or maritime powers of the world. No, you will have no trouble in approaching Israel, as far as other governments are concerned, or even from the Israeli Army. But there, on the mountains of Israel, you will meet your God! God says here, "And I will bring thee against my land, that the heathen may know me, when I shall be sanctified in thee, O Gog, before their eyes." Here's what will happen: God's anger is fiercely burning toward you, and He has prophesied thus: "In my jealousy, and in the fire of my wrath have I spoken, surely in that day there shall be a great shaking in the land of Israel; so that the fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the heaven and the beast of the field, and all creeping things that creep upon the earth, and all the men that are upon the face of the earth, shall shake at my presence, and the mountains shall be thrown down, and the steep places shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground. 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. 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. 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." Unless you repent of your evil intentions and values, this will surely come to pass, and it may be very soon. Your armies will be destroyed by earthquake, by flood, by great hailstones, by fire and brimstone! You will perish upon the mountains of Israel as a witness to the Almighty God, whom you despise and deny. Among those remaining alive, there will be such confusion that they will annihilate each other because "every man's sword shall be against his brother." Further on, God says, "I will turn thee back and leave but the sixth part of thee" (Ezek 39:2). Then in the 39th chapter, God says, somewhat ironically, that He will give your bodies to the birds and the beasts of the field. He started out this prophecy with the figure of speech that He wwould "put hooks in your jaws." It is in the market place where we see animals, often quartered, with hooks in their jaws, hanging where it is possible for the meat cutter to cut off portions for his customers. God will serve the portions of your flesh to the animals of the field. God says here, "Speak unto every feathered fowl, and to every beast of the field, assemble yourselves, and come; gather yourselves on every side to my sacrifice that I do sacrifice for you, even to a great sacrifice upon the mountains of Israel, that ye may eat flesh and drink blood....Thus ye shall be filled at my table with horses...with mighty men, and with all men of war, saith the Lord God." The irony is this - the predators of the field will feed upon the armies of the predator nation, and the vultures of the air will feast upon the armies of a vulture government. And who will then complain of such poetic justice? "Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap." God further says here that all the men of Israel will be busy burying your bodies to clean up the land. He says later on that they will hire men in continual employment in your burial. This burial will take seven months. That will be ample time for the birds of the air and the predators of the field to feast sumptuously. And here is a strange thing, but it shall happen. God says, "Behold, it is come, and it is done, saith the Lord God; this is the day whereof I have spoken. And they that dwell in the cities of Israel shall go forth, and shall set on fire and burn the weapons, both the shields and the bucklers, the bows and the arrows, and the handstaves, and the spears, and they shall burn them with fire seven years; so that they shall take no wood out of the field, neither cut down any out of the forests; for they shall burn the weapons with fire." We have been given to understand that you in Russia are making weapons from a treated wood called Lignostone. This wood, we understand, is chemically treated and stronger than steel, yet remains elastic. The British are using a similar material for gears in their large vehicles. We have also been told that it burns brilliantly, with intense heat. So the Israelis may have remembrance of your invasion for seven years as they use your weapons, or the materials derived from them, for fuel. To you, your Politburo, and your atheistic cohorts, we challenge you to read about your destiny in these chapters in the Book of Ezekiel, if you dare. In fact, reading the Bible in its entirety will reveal to you something about the mercy of God, as well as something about the justice of God. There is also something about forgiveness of sins and Life everlasting. God further warns here in this 39th chapter, "And I will send a fire on Magog, and among them that dwell carelessly in the isles." God says here that He will send fire and judgment upon the land of Russia while your armies are invading Israel. So even at home, God will search you out. The same fire shall also strike other parts of the world "among them that dwell carelessly in the isles" where men are given over to living for material things, for pleasure, for self, and have little or no regard for God, their Creator. This could be part of the same fire from outer space that is prophesied to strike your armies in Israel. God is faithful to His promises of judgment as well as His promises of blessing. Both are certain. You can still make certain of God's blessing in your own individual life if you will repent and turn from your evil plans and turn to your God and Maker, and to Christ your Redeemer. "Today, if ye will hear His voice, harden not your heart..." (Hebrews 3:7,8). Very sincerely, Ray W. Johnson Donald W. Patten Mr. Brezhnev - There is one thing which we failed to point out to Mr Kosygin, because at that time we did not think it was significant. The matter to which we refer is that of Ethiopia. The Prophed Ezekiel (Ezekiel 38:5) states that Lybia and Ethiopia will also join you in your infamous invasion of Israel. The country of Sudan, north of Ethiopia, was part of Ethiopia in Bible times, so it won't be surprising if you will somehow include Sudan also among the invaders. At the time of writing to Mr. Kosygin the matter of Ethiopia seemed insignificant, first, because of her weakness, and second, because we couldn't see how or why Ethiopia would ever get involved in such a nefarious attack against Israel. But with Russia's involvement so extensive now in Ethiopia, this matter becomes one of prime importance, and very understandable. This teaches us again that we can't take any statement by God as being insignificant, or questionable. It might be of interest to you to notice that not one of the nations you have previously used in your invasions of Israel will be included in your most infamous invasion. The reason for this is not presently known. One reason could be that Israel may be forced to occupy these nations, if they continue to harass and threaten her very existence. There are Bible prophecies which appear to indicate that this will be the case. There will no doubt be other reasons as well. But the fact that the nations presently most hostile toward Israel will not have a part in your coming ill-fated invasion, is certainly a matter of real interest, even if at present we cannot be sure of the reason. Your invasion of Israel will very likely end communism in Russia. We say this for the following reasons: Chapters 1 & 2 of the Prophet Joel also appear to refer to your invasion of Israel, as the invasion described by Joel has never yet occurred. And in 2:20 Joel has this to say to Israel about the remains of your army after God is finished with you in Israel: "I will remove far off from you the northern army, and will drive him into a land barren and desolate, with his face toward the east sea, and his hinder part toward the utmost sea, and his stink shall come up, and his ill savor shall come up, because he hath done great things." This states that those of your army who escape annihilation in Israel, especially the generals and other top officers, besides political leaders, will be banished into Siberia. That's exactly the description of the land into which God says He will drive your "northern army." Siberia, as you well know is a land "barren and desolate." And Siberia faces the Pacific Ocean, no doubt spoken of here as the "east sea." The Pacific Ocean is "east" of Israel. And the "hinder part," or the backside of Siberia, is on the Artic Ocean. This ocean could be termed the utmost sea." There, your temperal judgment will be finalized. But there is also a judgment to come, when all mankind will stand before God, there to receive His judgment as to eternal destiny. God is a God of mercy, and He will even there in Siberia grant you forgiveness if you honestly and humbly seek Him and repent of your ungodly attitudes and actions. The time of the great judgment will be too late. "Today is the day of salvation." Allow me to point out one more fact, Mr. Brezhnev. You have endeavored to thoroughly downgrade God in Russia. But through the fulfillment of this Bible prophecy God will be glorified by you and all others who have sought to eliminate Him from the scene in Russia. Here's what God says your attack against Him and His people in Israel will accomplish: "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" (Ezekiel 38:23). So even in this ill-fated invasion God will be glorified, and no doubt many will be caused to place their trust in Him and in the Savior, Jesus Christ. We greatly rejoice to know that God will prevail and bring blessing and glory to His own. And we trust that you also will one day desire to receive God's forgiveness, that you too might enter His glorious presence as a son of God. Very sincerely, Ray W. Johnson Donald W.
