Russia, again, is on the move. The news headlines proclaim it. Georgia was first, then Ukraine and the invasion of Crimea. Meddling in the elections of the United States followed. For the fourth straight year, Forbes has ranked Vladimir Putin as the world’s most powerful person―even above the president of the United States. Like it or not, the world has descended into a new Putin-led Cold War 2.0. As the storm clouds gather, America sleeps.
Russian’s hand in Syria and its closer ties to Iran are especially alarming to those who know Bible prophecy and the book of Ezekiel. Putin is poised right now on Israel’s northern border―an ominous sign of our times.
What does the Bible say about our troubling times?
In Russia Rising, Mark Hitchcock, popular speaker and Bible prophecy expert, explores the history of Russia and its current military moves. He will explain the biblical prophecies related to Russia, the Middle East, and the end times. The tracks of the Russian bear lead to the Middle East and Israel. Are we on a collision course with Russia?
Mark Hitchcock thought his career was set after graduating from law school in 1984 and working with a judge at the Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals.

Since 1991 he has served as senior pastor of Faith Bible Church in Edmond, Oklahoma. He has authored more than a dozen books related to end-time Bible prophecy and was the contributing editor for the Internet-based Left Behind Prophecy Club for four years.
