I do still believe that this event is what helps vault the AC to world domination. The destruction OF Russia's armies, as well as the destruction of muslim forces would have a significant impact on the world's power structure as we know it today. And let's face it. Seeing Israel (as they would think) destroying these armies in such a way might convince the rest of the world that peace is a pretty good thing to have with Israel.
Why won't the Psalm83/Isaiah17 war have the same result of ushering in the antichrist? After all, the continued efforts to form a peace agreement, which I believe will be the main goal of the antichrist's covenant, have been with Israel and her neighbors.....not Russia and the rest of the Gog/Magog alliance or the rest of the world....though the rest of the world is adimant to see that peace happen. Just think about the push for peace that will happen after Israel uses nukes!
Israel will be gaining a lot of land after Psalm83/Isaiah17, but the Bible tells us that the antichrist will divide the land for gain. Nothing new under the sun. :ohno And this could all be part of the covenant.
This is why I see the covenant being confirmed after the fall out from the war with Israel and her immediate neighbors and Gog/Magog fulfilling the Seal Judgments. God will be putting the hook in Gog's jaw and God has and will use men to carry out His judgments.
Some have said that the covenant is tied to the Temple and that is why it has to be after Gog/Magog. The Bible isn't clear on this issue but I don't see why not after Psalm83/Isaiah17, especially since it says in Isaiah 17 that men will begin to look toward their Maker. For the Jews it might mean that they will start to try to follow the Law again and see the need for a temple. Then after Gog/Magog, if not already built, they will definately build that temple and nothing will stop them.
