Russian business first in line for spoils of Syrian war
This article focuses on how Russia's operations in Syria are partly due to the business and trade possibilities of Syria's natural gas and oil supply. However, that possibility is prevented by Western sanctions on Syrian oil. Many are saying that natural gas and oil are the "hooks in the jaw" of Ezekiel 38:4, which will cause the leader of the land of Magog (modern day Russia) to attack Israel. It just so happens that as Russia is seeking to secure it's own supply of oil and gas, Israel has been finding massive deposits of both around the same time.
The title of the article is interesting: they actually use the word 'spoils' to describe how Russia sees the oil and gas reserves.
Thus says the Lord God: On that day, thoughts will come into your mind, and you will devise an evil scheme and say, ‘I will go up against the land of unwalled villages. I will fall upon the quiet people who dwell securely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having no bars or gates,’ to seize spoil and carry off plunder, to turn your hand against the waste places that are now inhabited, and the people who were gathered from the nations, who have acquired livestock and goods, who dwell at the center of the earth. ~Ezekiel 38:10-12
