Meeting for the second time in four months, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Russian President Dmitry Medvedev today discussed ways to push the unique bilateral strategic partnership that covers a wide range of issues, including defence, space and trade and economy.

The two leaders, who are here for the Brazil-Russia-India-China-South Africa (BRICS) Summit tomorrow, took stock of the bilateral relations as also the global situation having impact on their countries. http://www.thehindu.com/news/national/article1693868.ece

Russia, China, and India are continuing to try to work together, as are other Gentile nations like Brazil. The time of the Gentiles is rapidly approaching (Luke 21:24).

Additionally, Bible prophecy suggests that Russia will cooperate in the end with China and India.

In December, LCG reported:

India, China and Russia Increase Cooperation. Last month, Indian, Russian and Chinese officials met in central China to conduct talks aimed at increasing the cooperation between the three nations–two of which are the world’s most populous nations (India and China encompass more than 2 billion people). At the talks, officials promised “to step up cooperation in trade, energy and geopolitical affairs including climate change,” as well as “energy, high-tech sectors, innovation, aerospace, cultural exchanges and disaster relief.” A communiqué from the meeting noted that the three nations plan to increase “cooperation on international and regional issues… but stressed that such cooperation would not target ‘any other country’.” China and Russia are members of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation, a body organized as an alternative to U.S.-led efforts. India is an observer to this body (Agence France-Presse, November 15, 2010). Increasing cooperation between these three nations is evident. Russia has already provided China with navy vessels and maintains a contract for more. Bible prophecies reveal that at the end of the age, just before the return of Jesus Christ, a powerful army of 200 million men will come from north and east of Jerusalem and cause massive destruction on this earth (Daniel 11:44-45; Revelation 9:13-21). Only India, China and Russia appear to have the military technology, the manpower and the funds to support such an army. The deepening relationship between these three nations certainly bears watching—in terms of Bible prophecy (World Ahead Weekly Update, LCG. December 09, 2010).

A combination of economic talks, military deals, aircraft carriers, population, and technology will come together enough to get the “kings of the east” (Revelation 16:12-16) and those from “the far north” (cf. Ezekiel 39:1-2) to cooperate to fulfill Daniel 11:44-45; Revelation 9:13-21.

More and more news events are aligning toward the fulfillment of Bible prophecy.
