Right before Messiah, US will fight Russia and China will capitalize, rabbinic “prophecy” reveals

February 21, 2022

A video was recently posted to the internet in which Rabbi Yitzchak Dovid Grossman, the scion of one of the most respected Hassidic families in Jerusalem, related a story from his childhood in which a prophecy was discussed by his father and another rabbi concerning the outcome of the current crisis in Ukraine. …

“The man related what he heard when he was with the ‘Yanuka’ in Stolin (Belarus) many years earlier,” Rabbi Grossman said. The ‘Yanuka’ was Rabbi Yisrael of Stolin. He was the son of Rabbi Asher, the spiritual leader of the Stolin branch of Hassidic Judaism. The Yanuka was born in 1969 and his father passed away when he was just four and a half years old. His piety and Torah knowledge were already so remarkable that at that young age, he was appointed as the sect’s spiritual leader in his father’s place, until he passed away in 1922.

Rabbi Grossman related how the Yanuka once gathered his followers together for a special message.

“The Yanuka told his followers what would be before the arrival of the Messiah,” Rabbi Grossman related. “Two roosters will be fighting terribly, trying to kill each other, when along will come a third rooster who will finish them both off.”

The story finished with an incongruous ending.  …

“What are you talking about?” his father asked at the time. “What is all this talk about roosters?”

The mysterious stranger answered in the name of the Yanuka, who passed away more than two decades before Rabbi Grossman was born. “The two roosters are Russia and America. Who is the third rooster that will finish off both the US and Russia? That will be China,” the Yanuka said more than 170 years ago.

“At the time, China was like a kindergarten,” Rabbi Grossman said. “They were a huge country but backward in culture and technology and had a military that had no real weapons. Who could have imagined that China would one day be the biggest threat in the world?” https://www.israel365news.com/266468/rabbinic-prophecy-reveals-right-before-messiah-us-will-fight-russia-and-china-will-capitalize/

No, no, and no.

No, the current situation with Ukraine is not related to some story about roosters fighting.

No, Russia and the USA are not about to get into a war to try to destroy each other because of Ukraine–there could be sanctions, cyber matters, and skirmishes, but no, not a battle over Ukraine with each trying to destroy the other. The USA and Russia possess enough weapons of mass destruction that they could, in theory, destroy the whole world if they got in a battle as ‘Yanuka’ described and interpreted.

No, China is not prophesied to be the power that will destroy Russia and the USA. While China is interested in world domination and could well assist in the coming destruction of the USA, it is prophesied to align with Russia after the Beast destroys the USA (cf. Daniel 11:39, 44-45; Jeremiah 50:41-43).

Israel365 News has a track record of posting prophetic interpretations that cannot come to pass. I have repeatedly denounced them over the years, including when it called itself Breaking Israel News.

There are also various Protestants who see the USA and Russia about to go into a massive destructive war that will not happen. For one example, Michael Snyder posted the following:

Sonja Craighead Just Had A Supernatural Experience In Which She Was Shown A Devastating Future Attack On America

January 6, 2022

There is so much “prophetic chatter” in the Christian world today, but most of it comes from charlatans that have never actually had any supernatural experiences with God at all.  And when their “prophecies” inevitably fail, it makes the entire prophetic community look bad.  But of course there are others that actually do have very real supernatural experiences with God in which they are shown things about the future.  One such individual is my friend Sonja Craighead.  Those that have followed my work for a long time are already familiar with her, and some of the things that she has been shown over the years have already come to pass.  So I would take what she has to say very seriously. …

The following is what Sonja just sent to my wife and I…


Hello Michael and Meranda:

Warning to G-d’s American Remnant of Coming Attack.

1-6-22

Yesterday I had a mini vision of something so devastating that I struggle to find words to describe it. It is a coming event that will nearly destroy America.

I saw coming from the Gulf of Mexico out of the beautiful ocean views – a series of very fast moving things that I don’t know what they are. They were coming out of the ocean from off the coast of Florida, west to below Houston, off the coast of Texas. They went up and arched in the sky, then they went inland into the US and then came down on US cities. They began close to the Florida panhandle and in nearly, but not quite concurrent order, they ended at Houston. Houston will take a direct hit. I don’t know how many cities will be hit or the exact location of the other cities other than Houston, because it all caught me off guard due to the rapid speed of this event. I think they hit 6 or 8 US cities, nearly at the same time. Total destruction by massive fireballs and explosions larger than I’ve ever seen with horrific waves of heat going miles in every direction of where they landed – igniting everything close to these terrible heat waves on fire with huge fireball explosions that reached hundreds of feet into the air. Cities and towns were just suddenly gone and intense explosions were all going on at the same time. I didn’t comprehend what was happening because of the speed of how fast it happened. No warning. No time to evacuate. No time to escape this terrible fate. It was so catastrophic it’s hard for me to describe it in words. There wasn’t debris after these explosions of fire, there was just huge intense fires burning nothing, because nothing was left. It all only took just a few seconds. Watching this – I was so surprised I just silently stood there watching in silent horror. It sickened me. I shook, became chilled, and cried, all in just the few seconds that this vision lasted. I needed hours of time alone before I could even tell my husband, Dave, what I was shown. …

Someday the Russians will conduct a lightning fast nuclear strike from submarines that have stationed themselves all along our coastlines.

Like many Protestants, Michael Snyder has been expecting WWIII to be led by Russia against the USA and others. He considers that Sonja Craighead is a true prophet of God, but I do not (see also How To Determine If Someone is a True Prophet of God).

The USA is not prophesied to be destroyed by Russia, although I do feel that Russia will assist the coming Beast power, who will destroy the USA (cf. Daniel 11:39).

Notice something that the late Pastor General of the old Worldwide Church of God, Hebert Armstrong, wrote decades ago, during the time of the old Soviet Union, in an article titled Why Russia Will Not Attack the United States:

For decades now, the prospect of war between Russia and the United States has continually heightened and lessened.

Many who claim to be authorities on prophecy assure people a war involving Russia and the United States, Canada and England is prophesied in Ezekiel 38.

The United States, Britain and other democracies of north-western Europe, they recognize, are nations descended from the lost Ten Tribes. Therefore, they conclude, the prophecy of Ezekiel 38 foretells a military invasion of the North American continent from the Soviet Union. But this is not what prophecy says…

But this very fact – that this invasion will not come until after the Second Coming of Christ – will seem preposterous to many, at first thought.

That is because we have been accustomed merely to assume things that are not true. We have blindly assumed that when Christ comes, there will be no opposition. Every person and power on earth, we have thought, will simply submit meekly and instantly to him and his power. But that is not true!

Some gentile nations understandably shall not submit until forced to. The final restoration of the Roman Empire shall be subdued and conquered at a battle commonly called “Armageddon.” But the populous nations of Eurasia that the Almighty God up to this point has not dealt with shall still have to be brought to submission.

“Gog” Identified
“Gog in the land of “Magog” is the vast regions of the U.S.S.R. in northern Eurasia extending from the Baltic to the Pacific. “Meshech” is Moscow, “Tubal” is Tobol’sk.

Notice the allies who come with them in this future battle. You will find “Gomer” “Togarmah,” “Magog,” “Meshech” “Tubal” identified in Genesis 10 as the sons of Japheth, father of the Eurasians. Ethiopia and Phut (mistranslated Libya) are descended from Ham.

Therefore, this prophecy of Ezekiel 38 shows who shall finally succeed in marshaling peoples of each major race into a gigantic invasion upon our people.

When God begins to rule the world, through Christ – with His chosen people restored to prosperity in the land of Israel, the very center of the land surface of the earth (verse 12, Moffatt translation) – this, great Eurasian union of nations shall finally be tempted to use their mighty air force. (Armstrong HW. Why Russia Will Not Attack the United States, article).

Some Bible scholars assert falsely that these prophecies of Ezekiel were fulfilled anciently. They never were. Others believe they are about to occur but some years before Armageddon. Both views are erroneous. The events of Ezekiel 38 and 39 are without question still future – for the “latter days” (38: 16) and “latter years” (38:8). Moreover, Ezekiel 38:14 describes the time setting as being “in that day when my people of Israel dwelleth safely.” This is certainly not the situation in the State of Israel to- day! The Israel described by Ezekiel is a nation that dwells in security, in unwalled villages, totally unprepared for war (38:8, 11, 14). Read it for yourself! (Why Russia Will Not Attack the United States. WCG booklet)

Ezekiel 38 is for the distant future–after the millennium (cf. Revelation 20:7-9; see also Ezekiel 38: For Russia & Iran in Our Day?; a related video is also available titled Ezekiel 38: For Russia, Ukraine, & Iran Now?).

Yet, none of this means that there cannot be military conflict between the USA and Russia now (and there may be some).

Despite difficulties between Europe and Russia, they will ultimately cooperate–for a while.

Back in 1962, notice something from two articles that the old Radio Church of God published:

Modern Europe is counseling and making treaties and alliances and agreements to conquer this earth! … Germany, those living in Germany, even the German government, may not yet know that they are going to join in a treaty with the Russians to destroy the United States and bring it to its knees-it is not in his “heart” to think so, but on the other hand it IS in his “heart” to destroy-the very characteristic of the Assyrian, the modern German, is a harsh, cruel, iron, dedication to militarism and destruction! … MAN’S ONLY HOPE LIES IN TURNING TO HIS CREATOR GOD! “At what instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom. to pluck up, and to pull down, and to destroy it; If that nation, against whom I have pronounced, TURN FROM THEIR EVIL, I will repent of the evil that I thought to do unto them… Behold, I frame evil against YOU, and devise a device against YOU: return ye now EVERY ONE from his evil way and make your ways and your doings good!” (Jer. 18:7, 8, 11). The case of America and Great Britain is hopeless! The case of America and Great Britain is hopeless! (Hill DJ, God’s Destiny for Germany. Plain Truth, March 1962, pp. 28-29)

The German people are now asking themselves: “Can we rely on the Americans and British?” … These questions lead to the logical conclusion that maybe the only people the Germans can rely on themselves. They are now thinking: “Perhaps we can strike a better bargain with the Russians ourselves.” …

Once a German-dominated Europe is fully established, Germany will be ready to negotiate and bargain with Russia– and behind the backs of the Western Allies if necessary. …

When will a Russo-German deal be made? Here is a quotation from a circular letter issued in September, 1950 by the Nazi Geo-political Center in Madrid: “However long we may continue to milk the Americans of millions of dollars, there must come the inevitable moment when we shall have to make it crystal clear to them that we are not willing to join the fight against Russia for American interests … (Germany Plots with the Kremlin by T H. Terens, p. 15). …

Most Americans and Britons are not aware of what Germany and Europe are planning against them. This is partly due to the cunning of German. politics. …

World events are moving swiftly toward the climax when Great Britain and the United. States will be attacked, conquered and DESTROYED! (Boraker R. Are the Germans Secretly Dealing with Moscow? Plain Truth, May 1962, pp. 45-47)

Yes, I, too, expect that Russia will make a deal with the Europeans.

Because of military and political considerations, the European King of the North might be inclined to give Russia all or parts of Alaska as well as possibly parts of Canada, as well as some people from those lands.

While WWIII will mainly be a war between Europe and the USA (cf. Daniel 11:39) and its Anglo-Saxon allies, Russia will likely be involved.

The Bible is clear that Russia will be a significant military power in the end and will cause fear:

40 … the king of the North … 43 He shall have power over the treasures of gold and silver, and over all the precious things of Egypt; also the Libyans and Ethiopians shall follow at his heels. 44 But news from the east and the north shall trouble him; therefore he shall go out with great fury to destroy and annihilate many. 45 And he shall plant the tents of his palace between the seas and the glorious holy mountain; yet he shall come to his end, and no one will help him (Dan 11:40,43-45).

This fulfillment of Daniel 11:44 is likely to occur about 3 1/2 years after the Great Tribulation begins. The “east” includes China.

Notice also the following:

50:41 “Behold, a people shall come from the north,
And a great nation and many kings
Shall be raised up from the ends of the earth.
42 They shall hold the bow and the lance;
They are cruel and shall not show mercy.
Their voice shall roar like the sea;
They shall ride on horses,
Set in array, like a man for the battle,
Against you, O daughter of Babylon.

43 “The king of Babylon has heard the report about them,
And his hands grow feeble;
Anguish has taken hold of him,
Pangs as of a woman in childbirth…”(Jeremiah 50:41-43).

Russia is the power from the north, and military supporters from the ends of the earth include China.

That being said, Russia will end up with territory currently claimed by the government of Ukraine. Or at least some of that territory will end up being confederate with Russia.

UPDATE 1215: After I posted the above, notice the following development in Russia and eastern Ukraine:

MOSCOW, Feb 21 (Reuters) – Russian President Vladimir Putin recognised two breakaway regions in eastern Ukraine as independent entities on Monday, upping the ante in a crisis the West fears could unleash a major war.

In a lengthy televised address, Putin described Ukraine as an integral part of Russia’s history and said eastern Ukraine was ancient Russian lands and that he was confident that the Russian people would support his decision. …

“I deem it necessary to make a decision that should have been made a long time ago – to immediately recognise the independence and sovereignty of the Donetsk People’s Republic and the Luhansk People’s Republic,” Putin said. https://www.reuters.com/markets/europe/kremlin-says-no-concrete-plans-summit-with-biden-over-ukraine-2022-02-21/

The idea that lands associated with Ukraine would be confederate with Russia was also mentioned in a sermonette I gave on February 5, 2022:

21:20

The situation between Russia and Ukraine has again heated up, although it has been tense since the Euromaiden protests and Russia’s annexation of Crimea. There was later a separation of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church from the Russian Orthodox Church. Is war prophesied for Russia and Ukraine? Are prophecies in the Bible associated with the ‘kings of the Medes’ and a power from the “north country” related to any in Russia and Ukraine? Is a confederation of powers from the north, east, and central Asia prophesied to destroy the coming end time European Babylon? Will the destruction be reminiscent of what happened to Sodom and Gomorrah? How is the King of the North and who will destroy him? Do those in Russia and Ukraine have a hope of salvation? Will Russia and powers of the east be involved in the gathering in Armageddon as prophesied in Revelation 16? Dr. Thiel addresses these issues.

Here is a link to our video: Russia, Ukraine, Babylonian Europe, and Prophecy.

Prophecies show matters will not end well for Europe itself (cf. Daniel 11:44-45; Revelation 17:14).
