I too agree with Martin on this subject. If this is truly the beginning of Gog-Magog, the US will not be allowed to intervene. We along with the West give a wimpy protest about them invading. However, that being said, the Lord can reshuffle the deck it it is not yet the time as he did in the 70's when the Russians were ready to go in. Remember all the weapons that Israel discovered in Lebanon? Something needs to happen to remove the US from the picture, and I also feel that thing could be the rapture. As it stands now, with our troops there and three naval battle groups in the region, Russia and Iran are not going anywhere. Iran will continue it's proxy war in Iraq and in Southern Lebanon but they are in no position to invade, UNLESS we are no longer a force to be reckoned with.
