Habakkuk 1v5-8 - Behold ye among ' the heathen ' ( the nations ) & regard & wonder marvellously : for I will work a work in your days ... which ye will not believe , though it be told you. For , lo , I raise up the Chaldeans ( latter-day Russia ) , that bitter & hasty nation , which shall march through the breadth of the land , to possess the dwellingplaces that are NOT theirs. They are terrible & dreadful : their judgment & their dignity shall proceed of themselves. Their horses also are swifter than the leopards & are more fierce than the evening wolves & their horsemen shall spread themselves & their horsemen shall come from far ; they shall fly as the eagle that hasteth to eat.
