1. I don’t know.
2. But a lot of what is happening does seem to fit into the prophecies of the end of time.
the big finale, the Battle of Armageddon, might take place in the Valley of Megiddo in Israel, but no one really knows, although Napoleon DID say it is the greatest Geographical setting for battle. Ezekiel sets up this great battle:Who are those players?
Magog, Mesheck, and Tubal were all sons of Jepheth (the son of Noah) who migrated to the area of modern-day Russia - (Genesis 10:2-3). Magog means the "Chief Prince" or "Prince of Rosh." Rosh is the old root word for the name Russia. Meshek corresponds to the old name for the capital of Western Russia, which is today the city of Moscow. Tubal was the ancient name of one of the dominant Asiatic provinces of Russia.

[/font][/span]Cush describes present day Ethiopia and the black nations of Central Africa.
Persia is a reference to modern-day Iran which changed its name in 1935
Put is Libya, located in northern Africa.
Gomer are the people who settled in Germany.
Beth Togarmah is Asia Minor and Turkey.
so here’s the deal: Ezekiel here is talking about the Battle of Armageddon, which is the final act of the 7-year Tribulation... which we haven’t started yet, so all these events we are seeing today, are still at least 7 years removed from the actual end, but who knows how close we are to the start of those 7 years?
of course, there are a lot of Scriptures relating to the End Times. If anyone is interested, we can look at them, too.

“But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son,but only the Father. Matthew 24:36
- Israel became a nation in 1948 (see prophecy of the dry bones, Ezekiel 37)
- Israel maybe entering into a period of peace (see prophecy in Ezekiel 38)
- The formation of a 10-nation ruling body over the area of the old Roman Empire
- Apparent assembly of the Kings if the North, as identified in Ezekiel 38 (we can start there):
the big finale, the Battle of Armageddon, might take place in the Valley of Megiddo in Israel, but no one really knows, although Napoleon DID say it is the greatest Geographical setting for battle. Ezekiel sets up this great battle:
The word of the Lord came to me: “Son of man, set your face against Gog, of the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshek and Tubal; prophesy against him and say: ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: I am against you, Gog, chief prince of Meshek and Tubal. I will turn you around, put hooks in your jaws and bring you out with your whole army—your horses, your horsemen fully armed, and a great horde with large and small shields, all of them brandishing their swords. -Ezekiel 38:1-4

Persia, Cush and Put will be with them, all with shields and helmets, 6 also Gomer with all its troops, and Beth Togarmah from the far north with all its troops—the many nations with you.
