EZEKIEL 38 – THE BATTLE OF GOG AND MAGOG

Ezekiel 38 is the account of the nations that come against Israel in the last of the Last Day or the last thousand years of “Time.” In other words this battle could occur at any time NOW.

God gives us the lists the major nations that will attack Israel,

And they are:
• Magog - this is modern day Russia
• Persia - this is modern day Iran
• Meshech and Tubal, Togarmah - this region is modern day Turkey
• Ethiopia - this is modern Ethiopia
• Libya - this is modern day Libya
• Gomer - this is modern day Germany

LISTEN:

And the word of the Lord came to me:

Son of man, set your face against Gog, of the land of Magog,

The prince of Rosh, of Meshech, and Tubal, and prophesy against him.

And say, Thus says the Lord God:

Behold, I AM against you, O Gog, chief prince (or ruler) of Rosh,

Of Meshech and Tubal.

And I will turn you back, and put hooks into your jaws,

And I will bring you forth and all your army, horses and horsemen,

All of them clothed in full armor, a great company with buckler and shield,

All of them handling swords;

Persia, Cush and Put or Libya with them; all of them with shield and helmet;

Gomer and all his hordes; the house of Togarmah

In the utter most parts of the north, and all his hordes;

Many people are with you.

You, [Gog,] be prepared; yes, prepare yourself, you and your companies

That are assembled about you, and you be a guard and commander for them.

After many days you shall be visited and mustered [for service];

In the latter years you shall go against the land

That is restored from the ravages of the sword,

Where people are gathered out of many nations upon the mountains of Israel,

Which had been a continual waste;

But its [people] are brought forth out of the nations,

And they shall dwell securely, all of them. [Isa. 24:22.]

You shall ascend and come like a storm,

You shall be like a cloud to cover the land, you and all your hosts,

And many people with you.

Thus says the Lord God;

At that same time thoughts shall come into your mind,

And you will devise an EVIL PLAN.

And you will say, I will go up against an open country--

The land of unwalled villages; I will fall upon those who are at rest,

Who dwell securely, all of them dwelling without walls

And having neither bars nor gates.

To take spoil and prey;

To turn your hand upon the desolate places now inhabited,

And assail the people gathered out of the nations,

Who have obtained livestock and goods,

Who dwell at the center of the earth [Palestine].

Sheba and Dedan and the merchants of Tarshish,

With all their lion-like cubs [or satellite areas],

Shall say to you, Have you come to take spoil?

Have you gathered your hosts to take the prey?

To carry away silver and gold, to take away livestock and goods,

To take great spoil?

Therefore, son of man, prophesy and say to Gog,

Thus says the Lord God: In That Day when My people Israel dwell securely,

Will you not know it and be aroused?

And you will come from your place out of the utter most parts of the north,

You and many peoples with you, all of them riding on horses,

A great host, a mighty army.

And you shall come up against My people Israel like a cloud to cover the land.

In the latter days I will bring you against My land,

THAT THE NATIONS MAY KNOW, understand and realize ME,

When My HOLINESS shall be VINDICATED through you--

VINDICATED and HONORED [in your OVERWHELMING DESTURCTION]--

O Gog, before their eyes.

Thus says the Lord God:

Are you he of whom I have spoken in olden times

By My servants the Prophets of Israel,

Who prophesied in those days for years

That I would bring you, [Gog], against them?

But in that day when Gog shall come against the land of Israel,

Says the Lord God, My WRATH shall come up into My nostrils.

For My jealousy and in the FIRE of My WRATH have I said,

Surely in That Day there shall be a GREAT SHAKING [or cosmic catastrophe]

In the land of Israel:

So that the fishes of the sea, and the birds of the heavens,

And the beasts of the field, and all creeping things that creep upon the earth,

AND ALL THE MEN THAT ARE ON THE FACE OF THE EARTH,

Shall TREMBLE and SHAKE at My Presence,

And the mountains shall be thrown down, and the steep places shall fall,

And every wall [natural or artificial] shall fall to the ground.

And I will call for a sword against [Gog] throughout all My mountains,

Says the Lord God,

Every man's sword shall be against his brother [over dividing of booty].

And with PESTILENCE and with BLOODSHED

Will I enter into JUDGMENT with [Gog],

And I will rain upon him and upon his hordes

And upon the many peoples that are with him,

TORRENTS OF RAIN AND GREAT HAILSTONES,

FIRE AND BRIMSTONE. [Psa. 11:16.]

Thus will I demonstrate My greatness and My holiness,

And I will be RECOGNIZED, UNDERSTOOD AND KNOWN

THAT I AM THE LORD [the Sovereign Ruler,

Calling forth loyalty and obedient service].

(Ezekiel 38, AMP)

Today, we watch as Russia becomes more aggressive again;

As it forms an alliance with Iran, Syria and Egypt;

As the Islamic nations become more belligerent toward Israel;

As Iran moves toward obtaining a nuclear weapon.

All of this points toward Ezekiel 38.

God Almighty, the God of the Bible, the God of Creation,

Establishes the Fact That He is the One and Only God.

All other, so called “gods,” are FALSE!

Be always on the Watch,

And pray that you will be able to Escape All that is about to happen,

And that you may be able TO STAND before the Son of Man.

(Luke 21:36)

Today, the world is raging against God, rushing toward oblivion. (Psalm 2)

America is being ground to powder because of her SIN against God.

Save yourself from this Corrupt Generation! (Acts 2:40)

As God has written, so shall it be! Hallelujah! Maranatha!

Father, Your Kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as in Heaven!
