Medvedev Invites Ukraine President – Elect to Moscow<\/h2>\n

It has been unclear to most in the media if Ukraine would lean more towards the EU as its current president seemed to want or to Moscow as its new president seems to want.<\/p>\n

Understanding the origins of the Ukrainians may provide a partial clue.<\/p>\n

In the first century, Josephus wrote:<\/p>\n

Japhet, the son of Noah, had seven sons: they inhabited so, that, beginning at the mountains Taurus and Amanus, they proceeded along Asia…they called the nations by their own names…Now as to Javan and Madai, the sons of Japhet; from Madai came the Madeans, who are called Medes, by the Greeks… Thobel founded the Thobelites, who are now called Iberes; and the Mosocheni were founded by Mosoch…And so many were the countries that had the children of Japhet for their inhabitants. (Josephus. Antiquities of the Jews. VI, 1).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The late John Ogwyn wrote:<\/p>\n

The tribes who traced their descent from the ancient Medes moved a little north and west to lay claim to the rich farmland of Little Russia, the Ukraine. From Meshech and Tubal came the Great Russians, who spread north and east, eventually establishing Moscow and the principality of Muscovy. The River Moskva, named for the people of Meshech (called Mushki or Moschi anciently), gave its name to the city and principality (Ogwyn J. What’s Ahead for Russia? Tomorrow’s World Magazine, May-June 2000).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Some of the Russians themselves appear to have been from the Medes. Notice the following account by the late W. Morfill:<\/p>\n

But how are we to explain the name Russia? The old-fashioned view was to derive the word from the Rhoxolani. This, however, has long been abandoned. One thing is certain, namely, that these Rhoxolani were of Oriental descent, a Medic or Iranic tribe<\/strong>. They disappear from history, having, like so many other tribes \u2014 as, for instance, the Pechenegs and the Khozars\u2014been swallowed up by the huge waves of immigration which overflowed the country (Morfill WR. Russia. Published 1890 by T.F. Unwin, London).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

There are many disputes among academics as to who derived from whom, thus it is not completely clear, for example, that the Rhoxolani were Medes who went to Russia.<\/p>\n

However, if the Rhoxolani were Medes, then it would seem to be consistent with certain biblical prophecies that they will destroy the final end-time European Babylon power.\u00a0 Notice two prophecies for example:<\/p>\n

1 The burden against Babylon which Isaiah the son of Amoz saw…
\n17 “Behold, I will stir up the Medes against them,
\nWho will not regard silver;
\nAnd as for gold, they will not delight in it.
\n18 Also their bows will dash the young men to pieces,
\nAnd they will have no pity on the fruit of the womb;
\nTheir eye will not spare children.
\n19 And Babylon, the glory of kingdoms,
\nThe beauty of the Chaldeans’ pride,
\nWill be as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah. (Isaiah 13:1, 17-19)<\/p>\n

11 Make the arrows bright!
\nGather the shields!
\nThe Lord has raised up the spirit of the kings of the Medes.
\nFor His plan is against Babylon to destroy it,
\nBecause it is the vengeance of the Lord,
\nThe vengeance for His temple. (Jeremiah 51:11)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Biblically (because of prophecies involving the Medes and some in the “north and east” in Daniel 11:44), it would seem that Russia would be closer to Ukraine in the end.\u00a0 The election of Viktor Yanukovich may be a step in that direction.\u00a0 But it should also be mentioned that Bible prophecy indicates that there will be some type of cooperation between Russia and its allies and Europe for a while after the European Beast power has risen up (Revelation 13:3-4).<\/p>\n

However, Bible prophecy shows that ultimately Russia and its allies (likely to include Ukraine) will turn against the European Beast power.<\/p>\n

Some articles of possibly related interest may include:<\/em><\/p>\n

Russia: Its Origins and Prophesied Future<\/a> Where do the Russians come from? Is Ukraine in prophecy? What is prophesied for Russia and its allies? What will they do to the Europeans that supported the Beast in the end?

\nEuropa, the Beast, and Revelation<\/a> Where did Europe get its name? What might Europe have to do with the Book of Revelation? What about “the Beast”? Is an emerging European power “the daughter of Babylon”? What is ahead for Europe?
\nWho is the King of the North?<\/a> Is there one? Do biblical and Roman Catholic prophecies point to the same leader? Should he be followed? Who will be the King of the North discussed in Daniel 11? Is a nuclear attack prophesied to happen to the English-speaking peoples of the United States, Great Britain, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand<\/span>? When do the 1335 days, 1290 days, and 1260 days (the time, times, and half a time) of Daniel 12 begin?
