Interpreting the significance of events in relation to the end times

The alliance of Gog and Magog, often associated with Russia and its allies, is thought to mark the beginning of end-time events, triggered by a seven-year treaty. Regardless of the specific details, individuals are called to be prepared for the events, as emphasized in the book of Revelation and teachings of Jesus. The focus is on following the instructions of Christ, rather than debating the doctrinal significance of specific actions such as baptism and communion.
