President Vladimir Putin and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu held talks in Moscow this last week with an agenda that will impact the world

Listen to Today's Program Play

JD: What would you think the agenda of their conversations might have been? What topics would they have probably have been talking about?

DD: They undoubtedly discussed the war going on to the north of Israel and Syria. The fact that it’s taking places right along it’s northern border. The fact that rockets have come into Israeli territory on a number of occasions both from fighters against the Assad regime and on a couple of occasions, from the regime itself, from the Syrian military. The fact that Hezbollah is involved and Iran is heavily involved all of these things are very concerning to Israel.

And of course Russia during the Obama administration went from being also an observer on the sidelines to a very active player in that war and of course they have been the reason, their forces that the Assad regime is not only still in power but is stronger than it has been since the war had began. So, that is a great concern to Israel, what is Russia’s intension? The issue of Iran itself and it’s nuclear program Russia was a big participant in the negotiations to supposedly curb the nuclear development program in Iran.  

They’re friends Jimmy, they’ve known each other for many many years. They’ve met many many times. They probably compared notes on Donald Trump; what do you think about him, and what do you think? I imagine they also, Jimmy, discussed some issues that aren’t in the Middle East especially North Korea. The Israeli’s are watching the situation there very very closely. Why are they so concerned? Because the North Korean’s are working with Iran in a nuclear program. The North Korean’s are very heavily involved with the Assad regime. Probably they did discuss also the Palestinian situation; the Russian’s do have some opinions on that, I would imagine those were the main issues.

JD: David Dolan with a reflection on the Putin Netanyahu talks in Russia.


Both Russia and Israel will play a key role in the end time events as recorded in Bible prophecy. Ezekiel 38:2 reveals that Magog, that would be modern day Russia; Magog will lead a coalition of nations that align themselves against the Jewish state of Israel. The focus of this Middle Eastern coalition of nations, led by Russia, will be the Jewish state of Israel. Those nations want to destroy God’s people in the land that He gave the Jewish people. God has a plan for the Jews in the last days. Therefore the Lord will intercede and protect the Jewish state. That’s foretold, by the way, in Ezekiel 38:18-39:6.

This end time scenario of Bible prophecy is ready now to be fulfilled.
