Is Ezekiel 38 coming to life? When reports surfaced this month that Russia is training assault units on horseback to counter Ukraine’s drones and land mines, prophecy watchers couldn’t help but pause.

Horses galloping across the battlefields of Eastern Europe in the 21st century? It sounds more like a scene from the prophetic Book of Ezekiel than a modern war report. And yet, here we are.

According to Russian military sources and footage verified by multiple outlets, commanders in the Donetsk region are forming horse-mounted assault teams.

Two soldiers per horse -- one riding, one firing -- practicing under drone cover, training animals to stay calm amid explosions and gunfire. A Kremlin-linked blogger described them as a “modern horde,” noting that horses “see well at night, need no roads, and can instinctively avoid mines.”

It’s not a return to romantic cavalry charges. It’s desperation, a low-tech answer to a high-tech nightmare.

Drones hover overhead, minefields choke the ground, and mechanized units are easy prey. So Russia is resorting to tactics older than the tank.

But for students of Bible prophecy, one question rises like thunder ... could this be a glimpse -- perhaps just a shadow of what the prophet Ezekiel foresaw nearly 2,600 years ago?

Ezekiel 38 paints a startling picture. A coalition led by “Gog of the land of Magog” comes from “the uttermost parts of the north” against the land of Israel. The invaders are described as “all of them riding upon horses, a great company and a mighty army.”

Another piece of the Biblical jigsaw puzzle may be falling into place!
