The Bible tells us that there are many reasons why Russia will want to invade Israel . First , through the centuries , Israel has been hated by their neighbors . Perhaps Russia and her allies will see a chance to wipe out Israel once and for all . Secondly , Russia will see that Israel is unprotected and living in confidence . Evidently Russia and her allies will understand that the Antichrist will not come to Israel ' s rescue . Thirdly , Russia will clearly understand the vast amount of riches that Israel will offer . They will have not only such riches as gold , minerals , and cattle , but Israel will also have people who can be used as slaves once they are conquered . Finally , the Middle East has always been the center of world activity . Russia and her allies will want all the religious and political power that comes with control of that part of the world . The alliance ' s greed for power , plunder , and hatred will cause them to move to destroy Israel .
C . HOW WILL GOD STEP IN AND FIGHT FOR ISRAEL ?
As Russia and her allies cover Israel it will look as though Israel will have no hope . The countries that are allied to the West and the Western powers themselves ( the Antichrist and his nations ) will be very bothered about the invasion . Ezekiel talks about the enemies of Russia and their alliance . In Ezekiel 38:13 , the Bible tells us of their complaint :

Ezekie 8:13 ( " Bu Sheba ndn nd th rchant rinces o Tarshis with whom she trades wi ask , e are you to rob them of silver and gold and drive away their cattle and seize their goods and make them poor ? "'
But their complaint to the Russia Alliance will fall on deaf ears . The brutal Russian forces and their friends will be determined to crush Israel . It will appear that all is lost for Israel .
