"Russia = people of the north" was some 1980's theology, made popular by the cold war. I'm surprised it's still around.

You can go to `Overcomersonline,` and scroll down to their eschatology section. Then find the thread on `Fires before the Dawn.` That is out of print but was written by Ps. A. Gardiner whom I learnt from. He has two chapters on Russia - history and then the Ezekiel war.
Hope that is helpful. Marilyn.

Hi Marilyn, since Gog/Magog is close, then the little horn person leader of the EU is even closer to being revealed.You can go to `Overcomersonline,` and scroll down to their eschatology section.

It just means that their army moves quickly - metaphorically quick like soldiers on horses compared to solders on foot.Why do you wonder?
Joel 2
2 A day of darkness and of gloominess, a day of clouds and of thick darkness, as the morning spread upon the mountains: a great people and a strong; there hath not been ever the like, neither shall be any more after it, even to the years of many generations.
4 The appearance of them is as the appearance of horses; and as horsemen, so shall they run.
They antecedent of them and they in verse 4 is the people in verse 2.
You've been telling us that Joel 2 is about Russia invading Israel.
That leaves only one possibility for the identity of the people in verse 2.
The Russians.
Who, we are told, look like horses and run like horsemen.
With which dispensational futurism agrees, because it believes Scripture literally.

Some parts literal. Some parts metaphorically.Don't you believe the Bible literally?
"Metaphorically" is not literally.

Sorry, I don't recognize Ps. A. Gardiner.
What recognized dispensational futurist, e.g. a Hagee, Jeremiah, Lindsey, etc., has ever espoused the view that Russia is in Joel 2?
US vs Russia is such a tired trope.Russia is still there and preparing for war.....

Give it a couple decades and China will be the new super power.
Not sure if any of their weapons can be burned for fuel but whatever, God knows what it means.Now we haven`t long to wait till God puts `hooks in his jaws,` and brings the Russian Federation down to the mountains of Israel in the Golan Heights.
Soon I`ll be writing the details in my blog.
The only thing we know about Gog/Magog from the Bible is that it was some nation to the north of Israel. So it can be almost any, from Persia, Greece, Rome to for example Turkey, China, Germany, UK, USA or Canada.

Scientists Have Developed a Way to Make Wood as Strong as Steel

Scientists have developed a new type of "super wood" that is more than 10 times stronger and tougher than normal wood - and this innovation could potentially become a natural and inexpensive substitute for steel and other materials.
Key to the new wood's superpowers is a special chemical treatment followed by a heated compression process. The resulting chemical bonds make the wood strong enough to one day be used in buildings and vehicles.
It could even take a turn in new armour plating – the researchers fired bullet-like projectiles at their new super wood and found they got lodged in the material rather than blasting their way through, as they did with standard-strength wood.
Well many other people did, however he has died so you wouldn`t really know of him.
Still you can read of his work.
Now we haven`t long to wait till God puts `hooks in his jaws,` and brings the Russian Federation down to the mountains of Israel in the Golan Heights.

That sure would make them easy targets just employ flame throwers and incendiary bombs. So they probably wouldn't go in all wood armor, Russians are smarter than that.Scientists Have Developed a Way to Make Wood as Strong as Steel
