Yes, Les Feldick teaches that the Russian military remains a serious threat after the fall of communism.
Les Feldick insists the Russian bear is not dead, pointing to the Russian army still intact east of the Ural Mountains, unchanged espionage operations, and reports that Russian missiles were still aimed at American targets. He connects this to Ezekiel 38-39, where a northern coalition invades Israel and is destroyed by God.
Ezekiel 38:6 — This verse names Gomer as part of the northern coalition, which Les identifies with Eastern Europe and the Russian sphere.
Ezekiel 38:19 — God's response to the invasion includes a great shaking in the land of Israel, showing divine judgment on the northern enemy.
Ezekiel 39:6 — God promises to send fire on Magog, which Les applies to the Russian homeland after the invasion is destroyed.
The Bible speaks of an end-times coalition that comes against the land of Israel from the north. Ezekiel 38 includes 'Gomer' in that coalition, along with Gog, Magog, Meshech, Tubal, and many bands (Ezekiel 38:6). When this invasion takes place, God says: 'For in my jealousy and in the fire of my wrath have I spoken, Surely in that day there shall be a great shaking in the land of Israel' (Ezekiel 38:19). God then promises to judge the invaders and to send fire on their homeland: 'And I will send a fire on Magog, and among them that dwell carelessly in the isles: and they shall know that I am the LORD' (Ezekiel 39:6). The Bible therefore reveals a northern power that is destroyed by God in the last days.
Les Feldick repeatedly told his classes that the fall of communism did not end the Russian threat. He said, "Don't you believe for a minute that the Russian bear is dead. The Russian bear is alive and well." He pointed to the Russian army sitting east of the Ural Mountains 'just as intact as it's ever been,' and to Russia's unchanged espionage staff. He also noted that Russia had not slowed the production of war material and was still launching rockets. Les found fresh danger in Russian missiles, citing a Time Magazine report that 'every missile that has ever been pointed at America before is still sitting there, still pointed to the American target.' Because the missile force was still in place after the Soviet collapse, Les warned Americans not to lay down our arms and to be 'more on guard than ever before.' He connected all of this to his conviction that Russia, which he identifies with Magog in Ezekiel 38-39, will eventually invade Israel and will target America first because America is Israel's only friend. Les is careful to call his military scenario 'my own speculation,' but he is adamant that Russia is not out of the picture.
Les Feldick answers with a firm yes. He says the Russian bear is alive and well, the army is intact, espionage has not been cut, war material production continues, and missiles remain aimed at the United States. He urges Americans to be more on guard than ever before and not to lay down arms because of Russia.
He points to the Russian army still positioned east of the Ural Mountains, the fact that Russia has not cut one person from its espionage staff, and the continuance of war material production and space launches. He also cites Time Magazine's report that every missile once aimed at America was still aimed at America after the communist collapse.
Les identifies Gog and Magog, Meshech, Tubal, and Gomer with Russia and her satellite nations. He teaches that this northern coalition will invade Israel, and that God will respond with a great shaking and will destroy the invading armies. He also applies Ezekiel 39:6's fire on Magog to the Russian homeland.
Les presents this as his own speculation. He says Russia would logically attack America first because America is the only nation that might defend Israel. He even projects that Russia will unload everything on North America and that American submarines will then destroy the Russian homeland after the initial attack.
Gomer as Eastern Europe
Les identifies Gomer in Ezekiel 38:6 with Eastern Europe and shows how the post-WWII division of Europe set Gomer apart from the West, keeping the coalition tied to Russia.
The Russian Bear Is Alive
Les says the Russian bear is not dead; he points to the Russian army east of the Urals and unchanged espionage operations as evidence that Russia is still intact.
Russia's Missiles Still Aimed at America
Les cites Time Magazine to show that every missile once pointed at America is still pointed at America, and that Russia would target America first in an invasion of Israel.
Russia Will Unload on North America
Les speculates that Russia will launch everything at North America, knocking the western hemisphere out of prophecy, and that U.S. submarines will retaliate against the Russian homeland.
Russia Still Producing War Material
Les observes that Russia has not slowed war material production and still launches rockets, showing that Russia is much more alive than news reports suggest.
God Will Destroy Russia
Les says the Russian invasion will be destroyed by God on Israel's hills and fire will fall on Russia's homeland; he admits this is his own idea, not a dogmatic Bible teaching.
God's Fury Against Russia
Les reminds his students that Russia has been anti-God for over 70 years and will still have to answer for its treatment of the Jews, in line with God's fury and wrath.
Warning Not to Disarm
Les urges Americans to write Congress and not lay down arms because of Russia; he says we must be even more on guard and ties the red horse of Revelation 6 to Ezekiel's northern invasion.
Ezekiel 38:6: Gomer, and all his bands; the house of Togarmah of the north quarters, and all his bands: and many people with thee.
This verse lists Gomer as part of the northern coalition that Les associates with Eastern Europe and Russia.
Ezekiel 38:19: For in my jealousy and in the fire of my wrath have I spoken, Surely in that day there shall be a great shaking in the land of Israel;
Les quotes this verse when describing God's fury against the invading northern armies.
Ezekiel 39:6: And I will send a fire on Magog, and among them that dwell carelessly in the isles: and they shall know that I am the LORD.
Les applies this fire on Magog to the Russian homeland after the invasion of Israel.
No. Les says the Russian bear is alive and well, with its army intact and missiles still aimed at America. He says Russia has not slowed its war machine and will one day be right back on track.
He points to Russia's intact army, continued espionage, and missiles still aimed at American targets as reasons to be more on guard than ever before. He says we should not lay down our arms because of Russia.
God promises to send fire on Magog and those who dwell carelessly in the isles. Les applies this to the Russian homeland after the invasion of Israel is destroyed.
Yes, as his own speculation. He says Russia would logically target America first because America is Israel's only friend and the only nation that might oppose the invasion.
