In Ezekiel 38 & 39, we're told that Russia and an alliance of nations will attack Israel during a time when Israel will wrongly perceive that there is no immediate threat posed against it.
Magog - Most agree this is a reference to Russia.
Meshech - Most associate this with modern day Turkey, ancient Anatolia, but some say it refers to the Moscow area.
Tubal - Most associate this with modern day Turkey, ancient Anatolia.
Persia - modern Iran
Ethiopia
Libya
Gomer - eastern Europe or Turkey
Togarmah - southeastern Europe or Turkey...Thoughts?

It's truly scary that there are people like you out there, believing this gibberish. Many "prophets" made many predictions, did they all come true? Jesus told his disciples he was coming back in their lifetime...two thousand years later he still isn't here, is he? The book of revelations was written as a result of the turmoil that had been affecting Judea at the time it was written. With the destruction of the temple and a diaspora of of Jews as a result of a failed insurrection against Rome, it's easy to see why some superstitious nutter would believe the world was coming to an end. Pull your head out of that sand and wake up to the real world, where politics are a result of power struggles for land and resources, not some pre-ordained prophecy.

Complete rubbish. Do not confuse world affairs with superstition. There are many historical and economic reasons why these two countries seek to improve relationships. You will understand more if you know a little more History ,Geography, Politics and current affairs, and stop regarding the Bible as a crystal ball !

I found more about the political perspective here: http://www.cer.org.uk/articles/49_grant.html
Bible info is always helpful. All of the prophecies about Jesus came true and it affected world events.

Now here is someone who can see the signs of the time. Well done, crimmsonandclover.
Matthew 16:2-3
Jesus warned, “When it is evening you say, ‘It will be fair weather, for the sky is red’; and in the morning, ‘It will be foul weather today, for the sky is red and threatening.’ Hypocrites! You know how to discern the face of the sky, but you cannot discern the signs of the times."

Scripture states that the Bear will rise up and attack Israel.
Russia is nicknamed the bear.

Yes, the Bible is so right about so many things why not use it as a foreign policy tool!

Probably because they're sick of English speakers who don't know how to conjugate the verb "to be".
