One interesting news item to watch in the days to come is Vladimir Putin returning to power as President of Russia. Putin has made no secret of the fact that he wants to rebuild the Russian empire and Russian military might. It will be interesting to see if and how this fits into Bible prophecy.
We know from Ezekiel 38-39 that Russia will be part of a military coalition to attack Israel bringing about the War of Gog and Magog. I would not be surprised to see Putin do two things to bring this eventuality closer to bear.
First, I believe he will continue to build the Russian military. I believe he will attempt to build the Russian military into the power it once was. This very well could be the leading military force in the Gog-Magog alliance found in Ezekiel.
Second, I believe he will continue to strengthen Russia's ties with the Arab world. This will further hasten the forming of the coalition mentioned in Ezekiel 38-39. In my opinion, this will be the interesting thing to watch.
