Sudan Takes Another Step Toward The Magog Alliance

Repost from May 10, 2025

The Rise of Sudan and the Magog Alliance


For students of Bible prophecy, this Islamist resurgence in Sudan is more than just troubling news--it's a piece of a long-foretold puzzle. In Ezekiel 38, the prophet outlines a confederation of nations that will rise in the "latter days" to launch a massive, coordinated assault on Israel. Among the coalition led by "Gog of the land of Magog" (widely associated with a Russian power), are Persia (modern-day Iran), Put (Libya), and Cush--historically associated with the region south of Egypt, encompassing parts of modern Sudan.
This is not allegory--it's geography and alliances unfolding in real-time.

Sudan's radical pivot, combined with its growing military ties to Iran and other anti-Israel actors, fits seamlessly into the prophetic framework Ezekiel described over 2,500 years ago. A nation that once wavered between secularism and Islamic identity has now hardened into a base of operations for anti-Semitic jihadists. With SAF commanders openly venerating Sayyid Qutb and giving platforms to figures like Al-Musbah Abu Zaid and Ali Karti--both vocal in their hatred of Israel--Sudan is stepping into a dangerous role: a willing participant in the coalition of Gog.

A Strategic Red Sea Threat

Today, the Red Sea--long regarded as a vital shipping route--is becoming a stage for this prophetic drama. With Iranian-backed Houthis in Yemen already targeting Israeli-linked vessels and Port Sudan morphing into a drone and weapons hub, the maritime threat to Israel from the south is no longer hypothetical. Sudan's role in this axis places it in direct prophetic alignment with the enemies encircling Israel from the north, east, and now, the south.
This is the new battlefield. And Bible prophecy tells us it was foreseen.

Watch and Be Ready

For believers, these developments are not cause for fear, but for vigilance and hope. Jesus Himself told us to "watch" the signs of the times (Matthew 24:42). Sudan's rise as an Islamist terror state, its entrenchment in Iran's strategic playbook, and its proximity to Israel's southern frontier mark a clear and present danger--but also a clear fulfillment of the prophetic Word.
The Magog coalition is not a myth. It is assembling.

Russia in talks with Sudan to establish presence on Red Sea in addition to possible return to Syria​


The military government in Sudan is offering Russia to establish a naval base in Port Sudan, the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) reported on Monday.

This comes shortly after reports that the Russian military could soon return to southern Syria. This would mean that Russia could establish military bases on Israel’s northern border, as well as on the trade routes connecting the Israeli port of Eilat to the outside world through the Red Sea.

According to the WSJ’s report, which cited Sudanese officials, Russia received a proposal to station up to 300 troops and dock as many as four warships, either at Port Sudan or another yet-to-be-named Red Sea facility, for 25 years.

In addition, Russia would be in a prime position to get mining concessions in Sudan, which is the third-largest gold producer on the continent.

In return, the military regime of Gen. Abdel-Fattah Burhan would receive Russian antiaircraft systems and other weaponry to try and reverse the tide against the Rapid Support Force (RSF) that has recently captured the entire Darfur region in the west of the country.

A port in Sudan would give Russia the ability to monitor the vital Red Sea trading routes that connect to Egypt’s Suez Canal, which carries around 12% of global trade.

The northeastern end of the Red Sea is Israel’s only southern outlet with the port of Eilat. However, the port has been severely impacted by the Yemeni Houthi rebels’ attacks on shipping in the Red Sea in recent years, demonstrating Israel’s vulnerability to hostile forces in the region.

The growing ties between Israel and the breakaway state of Somaliland, on the horn of Africa, stem from the same considerations.

According to the WSJ, the government in Khartoum declined a proposal by the Iranian regime to establish a naval base on its coast, fearing the response from the U.S. and Israel.

The possible presence of Russian forces in the Red Sea is also troubling to the U.S., which has sought to keep Russia and China out of the area.

A senior U.S. official said a Russian base in Sudan could allow it to project power, while also increasing “Russia’s leverage by giving them more international prestige and clout,” retired Air Force Maj. Gen. Mark Hicks, who commanded U.S. special-operations units in Africa, told the newspaper.

A Sudanese official acknowledged that the deal with Russia might alienate the U.S. and the European Union but noted that the military regime needs new weapon supplies.

Earlier this month, Syrian sources told Israel’s Kan News that a recent unusual visit by a Russian military delegation to southern Syria was part of an initiative to restore military police patrols in the area as a buffer between Israeli and Syrian forces.

During the Assad regime’s control over Syria, Russia had a large military presence in the country. Israeli and Russian forces maintained close but tense relations to avoid confrontations over Syrian airspace, as Israel increased its airstrikes on Iranian-affiliated forces operating in the area.

A Russian proposal to redeploy in southern Syria was reportedly raised with the new Damascus regime several months ago, but the matter remains under review.

The Sudanese regime has been reaching out to Israel several times in recent years to put the Abraham Accords back on track.
