(July 30, 2007) The Jerusalem Post is reporting that Russia will sell 250 long-range fighter jets to Iran . (Iran to buy jets from Russia) Russia has already had other military business dealings with the Iranians as the article points out, “Despite Israeli and US opposition, Russia recently supplied Iran with advanced antiaircraft systems used to protect Teheran’s nuclear installations. At the time, Moscow said it reserved the right to sell Iran weapons, such as the antiaircraft system, that were of a defensive nature.” The prophet Ezekiel declares that in the end the enemies of Israel will form many military alliances. These alliances will include Russia, Persia (i.e. Iran), Turkey and other Islamic states in the Middle East. They will then attack Israel albeit unsuccessfully which in turn may set in motion God’s plans for the final stage of the current age we are living in. (Ezekiel 38:1-9,18-23)
