A FULL EXAMINATION OF GOG AND MAGOG FROM EZEKIEL 38 & 39 – PART 2 OF 2

I have capitalised /capitalized words and phrases because underlining can’t work in this format. Sorry about that. PART 2 continues but you should study PART 1 first.

GOD AND MAGOG SUMMONSED – ALONG WITH THE WHOLE WORLD

As I said there are three groups in Israel that will try to exterminate the nation. This is where they will come from – {{Revelation 16:12-14 “The sixth angel poured out his bowl . . . . Rev 16:13 I saw coming out of the mouth of the dragon and out of the mouth of the beast and out of the mouth of the false prophet, three unclean spirits like frogs, Rev 16:14 for they are spirits of demons, performing signs, WHICH GO OUT TO THE KINGS OF THE WHOLE WORLD, TO GATHER THEM TOGETHER FOR THE WAR OF THE GREAT DAY OF GOD, THE ALMIGHTY.”}} Every army is represented but we know they are in three groups, but the TIMING is what we have been thinking of in Part 1. They come from all over the world for THE GREAT DAY OF GOD. That day is the Second Coming when ALL the armies in Israel will be expunged by the coming Judge of all the earth. It is just a thought that these three unclean spirits may each gather the three army groups that will be going to Israel.

Therefore the Gog/Magog confederacy of Ezekiel 38 enters Israel near the end of the Tribulation and will be destroyed along with all the nations’ armies at the Second Coming by the One with a sword, on a white horse of Revelation 19. The armies of Antichrist and the False Prophet are in the Jezreel Valley. The armies of the Gog confederacy are on the mountains of Israel and in the Kidron Valley and attacking Jerusalem. The kings of the east have entered Israel from the east.

Before we look at some of the passages from Ezekiel 38 and 39, Zechariah speaks of this Gog army but does not name it. Here is Zechariah – {{Zechariah 12:2-4 “Behold, I am going to make Jerusalem a cup that causes reeling to all the peoples around, and when the siege is against Jerusalem, it will also be against Judah. Zech 12:3 “And it will come about IN THAT DAY that I will make Jerusalem a heavy stone for all the peoples. All who lift it will be severely injured, and ALL THE NATIONS OF THE EARTH WILL BE GATHERED AGAINST IT. Zech 12:4 “IN THAT DAY,” declares the LORD, “I will strike every horse with bewilderment, and his rider with madness, but I will watch over the house of Judah, while I strike every horse of the peoples with blindness.”}} (That is the confirmation that all the world’s nations sent armies to conquer Israel after being drawn by the evil frog spirits. God will deliver His people Israel but they will go through harrowing times.)

{{Zechariah 12:9-10 “And it will come about in that day that I WILL SET ABOUT TO DESTROY ALL THE NATIONS THAT COME AGAINST JERUSALEM. Zech 12:10 “And I will pour out on the house of David and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the Spirit of grace and of supplication, so that they will look on Me whom they have pierced; and they will mourn for Him, as one mourns for an only son, and they will weep bitterly over Him, like the bitter weeping over a first-born.”}} (God destroys all those armies, though it does say “nations” when He comes in the great battle of Revelation 19, when His feet stand on the Mount of Olives that will split in two. The Holy Spirit is poured out on Israel AFTER the defeat of the Gog confederacy at the Second Coming. DO NOT MISS the pouring out of the Holy Spirit on the redeemed of Israel. This is an insult to God for those who say the Gog armies come to attack Israel after they are regathered and redeemed and settled securely (and already have the Holy Spirit – See Joel.)

{{Zechariah 14:2-4 “For I WILL GATHER ALL THE NATIONS AGAINST JERUSALEM to battle, and the city will be captured, the houses plundered, the women ravished, and half of the city exiled, but the rest of the people will not be cut off from the city. Zech 14:3 THEN THE LORD WILL GO FORTH AND FIGHT AGAINST THOSE NATIONS, as when He fights on a day of battle. Zech 14:4 And IN THAT DAY His feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, which is in front of Jerusalem on the east; and the Mount of Olives will be split in its middle from east to west by a very large valley, so that half of the mountain will move toward the north and the other half toward the south.”}} (Jerusalem will be rescued at the 11th hour, just in the nick of time. How reassuring it is to know the Lord always defends His own, now and in the future.)
