Who controls the NATO nations during the Ezekiel 38 invasion?
During the Ezekiel 38 invasion, the NATO nations—identified in the context through Tarshish and related allies—are under the rule and control of the Antichrist. They can only question the invading force, asking what it is doing, rather than stopping it.
Les explains that Tarshish likely refers either to Spain or Great Britain, and he leans toward Great Britain, along with other nations in the NATO alliance. Those nations will be under the rule or control of the Antichrist at the time of Ezekiel 38. Their response to the invasion is not resistance but a question: they ask what the invader thinks he is doing, saying, in effect, “Art thou come to take a spoil?”
Sheba, and Dedan, and the merchants of Tarshish, with all the young lions thereof, shall say unto thee, Art thou come to take a spoil? hast thou gathered thy company to take a prey? to carry away silver and gold, to take away cattle and goods, to take a great spoil?
