The Bible isn't a daily planner or an operating manual for the Universe. We've had so many 'end times' that ended up just being intermissions.
It's a book on on values on how to live your life, not an order of battle.

I don't know about Russia anymore. If you follow Walid Shoebat's website you'd get the impression that the Ezekiel 38-39 war IS Armageddon, and that Erdogan of Turkey could very well turn out to be the Antichrist. He makes a convincing argument which is obviously too lengthy to delve into here.
Here's a little nugget for ya:
"Gog" is a common surname in Eastern Europe:

Armageddon is NOT a world war like so many people think. Nor is it a world wide epidemic. Armageddon simply refers to a war that is wages on Israel by Gog and Persia.
The book of Ezekiel just like Revelations was written by prophets/apostles in exile who were writing to the Israelites. The Priest Ezekiel, is called "The Watchman over Israel" by God. John the apostle was the brother of James and Jesus referred to them as the "Sons of Thunder".
God has a great concern for Israel and a lot of the biblical end-times prophecy has to do with Israel and Israel only. The bible, which is Gods sovereign word, indicates that Magog and Persia will plan to attack Israel who at that time will be at peace. Obviously, there is no peace in the middle east as well as peace in Israel/Palestine. But when Gog and Persia attack Israel, God will destroy all who oppose Israel for they oppose God.
There has never in the history of this planet ever been an "end time" that turned out to be an intermission. The end times mark the coming of Christ, but focuses mainly on Israel as a nation.
The bible talks about the Anti-Christ who comes in a Trinity much like God who is God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. The Anti-Christ comes with a false prophet as well as satin. Its a 3 for 1 deal. Israel will be deceived by the false prophet who like the Anti-Christ, is a puppet for Satin. The Anti-Christ and the False Prophet will negotiate a peace deal with Israel and then break that deal 3 years later. For the first 3 years, Israel will experience full and complete peace. The false prophet and anti-Christ will most likely come from Israel for the reason that Jews will never allow an outsider to be in any leadership role.
The bible is not as you say, an order of battle, but God did reveal to us what we should watch out for. Every prophecy in the bible has came true except for just 1. Which is the return of our glorious king, Jesus who will rule from the throne of David.
There are things that are happening right now that are setting the stage. The US moving its embassy to Jerusalem, the Syrian war, ISIS, NATO involvement in the middle east, this list goes on.
Yeah yeah, I remember you guys (not you specifically) droning on and on about this almost 30 years ago when Desert Shield/Storm kicked off....not impressed yet.
If there is ever any actual peace over there its only those few quiet moments till the Yakety Sax tape flips over and starts playing again

Jesus Christ, what are you thinking... He said that just like there is the Father, Son and Holy Ghost; there is the satin, semi-gloss and gloss. Fabric? That is for velvet Elvis's. Or maybe his spell checker doesn't allow him to use the word "satan". Maybe it is devo food cake.
