BEAST AND FALSE PROPHET DESTROYED

The Rider on the White Horse destroyed the โ€œBeast from the seaโ€ along with the โ€œFalse Prophet,โ€ the โ€œBeast from the earthโ€ โ€“ Revelation 19:17-21.

In some popular interpretations, the figure named โ€œRoshโ€ is identified with Russia, therefore, the book of Ezekiel predicted a Russian-led attack against the modern nation of Israel, or so it is assumed (Ezekiel 38:1-9).
