![]() Russia has completed a new national military facility that “can take control of the entire country in case of war” (“Russia launches ‘wartime government’ HQ,” RT.com, Russia’s 24/7 English news channel, Dec. 1, 2014). The new National Defense Control Center (NDCC) is staffed round-the-clock by more than 1,000 of Russia’s best officers. It monitors all of Russia’s military assets, including the state of oil refineries and weather conditions, and controls the ballistic missile system and the deployment of nuclear weapons. At its heart is a new computer system “with state-of-art data encryption and multiple backup sites.” Russia is engaged in a dramatic upgrade of its military in other ways, as well. It could be that the old Israel-hating Gog is unknowingly preparing for her big part in prophecy! “And thou shalt come up against my people of Israel, as a cloud to cover the land; it shall be in the latter days, and I will bring thee against my land, that the heathen may know me, when I shall be sanctified in thee, O Gog, before their eyes” (Ezekiel 38:16).
