The War of Gog and Magog
RaptureReady.com ^ | Not Given | Joseph Chambers

Posted on 01/11/2009 11:49:33 AM PST by GiovannaNicoletta

As the greatest supernatural intervention of human history -- a defense right out of heaven above -- Israel's God is going to reveal Himself. When this Divine display is finished, the Muslim religion will be stripped of all its glory. It will no doubt cause great anger among the hard core Muslims that escape death but a turning to Jesus Christ of those honest individuals that see the glory of our Eternal God. The Muslim religion is a farce when it is seen for what it really represents. Already millions of former Muslims have turned to Christ and the harvest has barely begun. One Saudi sheikh says in disgust that six million Muslims are converting to Christ yearly.

This coming war will serve as the eternal design of Bible prophecy. Men may well look at such a catastrophic devastation as cruel and beyond the acts of a Holy God, but this expression of wrath has been building for many centuries. It will include judgments against many vile and Godless acts of terror, great hatred manifest against the Jewish people, and hatred toward God Himself. Germany will receive her final judgment for the Holocaust and Russia will be judged for her atheistic hatred against her own people, as well as against Israelis and Christians. The Muslim religion will answer for centuries of vileness and defiance against the true and living God. The catastrophic level of God's wrath will be in the exact proportion to the wicked history of the nations involved.

This war could not occur until the nation of Israel was back in a portion of the Promise Land. There is not enough military might in the entire armies of the world to change God's promises. Israel is already a rich nation and is becoming richer every day. Their military is without parallel. They have discovered massive reserves of oil and eventually that discovery will be greater than all the Arab nations combined. How do we know that their oil deposits will be the world's greatest? The Promise Land and her treasures were ordained to flow as "milk and honey."

There are several promises for the discovery of oil by the Jewish people. God said, "For the precious things of heaven, for the dew, and for the deep that coucheth beneath…for they shall suck of the abundance of the seas, and of treasures hid in the sand…and let him dip his foot in oil" (Deuteronomy 33:13, 19, and 24). Someone can argue whether "the deep that coucheth beneath, treasures hid in the sand" or "dip his foot in oil" means oil deposits; but if we take these words literally, they are indeed powerful.

It is important that we know the Biblical reason for the War of Gog and Magog. It is Israel's riches and abundance that Russia covets. We know why the Muslims want to eliminate Israel, but Russia and much of her coalition forces want the treasures and wealth. If you study the unbelievable agricultural success, the technological brilliance, the military capabilities, and then add the possibility of billions of barrels of black gold, you will understand that Russia can see nothing but worldwide wealth and dominance.

One of their top politicians and advocates of this war to the south has left no room for guessing. Here are the words of Vladimir Volfovich Zhirinovsky, a strategic ally of Putin:

The mighty God of our Bible has allowed enough of His extension of grace. It's time for judgment and it's time to make all His glory visible to the human family. Listen to God's promise of intervention. "And thou shalt come up against my people of Israel, as a cloud to cover the land; it shall be in the latter days, and I will bring thee against my land, that the heathen may know me, when I shall be sanctified in thee, O Gog, before their eyes. Thus saith the Lord GOD; Art thou he of whom I have spoken in old time by my servants the prophets of Israel, which prophesied in those days many years that I would bring thee against them? And it shall come to pass at the same time when Gog shall come against the land of Israel, saith the Lord GOD, that my fury shall come up in my face" (Ezekiel 38:16-18).

I pray that America will be there to help in this hour, but we will not be needed. I actually believe, contrary to many, that we will be faithful to Israel to the end. That will be the reason God honors America as a sheep nation in Matthew chapter twenty-five. Regardless, this will end the worldwide threat from Muslim terrorists and will sweep the Temple Mount in Jerusalem of every semblance of the false sun-god, named Allah.

Unnamed pestilences and blood will rain on the army of millions. The rain will be overflowing and mixed with hailstones, fire, and brimstones. It will be massive and will actually fall from Heaven in such a manner that no one will doubt that it is God Himself that fights for Israel. The Bible is careful to state that the slaughter of this mob of wicked people extends back to their staging countries and capital cities. "And I will send a fire on Magog, and among them that dwell carelessly in the isles: and they shall know that I am the LORD. So will I make my holy name known in the midst of my people Israel; and I will not let them pollute my holy name any more: and the heathen shall know that I am the LORD, the Holy One in Israel" (Ezekiel 39:6-7).

Magog represents the Russian capital of Moscow and this Scripture includes the other nations which join this coalition. The judgment will leave no doubt about God's rejection of the Muslim Koran and religion. The world is trying to convince us that the Muslim god is identical to our Heavenly Father and His Son, Jesus Christ. This lie will die with Gog and Magog in the mountains of Israel and in the nations that join this end time war.

The glory of God will be manifest and the world will know. Out of this massive judgment will be a mighty visitation of Holy Ghost awakening. Joel settled the utter destruction of the Northern horde and promised the Latter Rain of God's Spirit. He said by the Holy Spirit, "But I will remove far off from you the northern army… Fear not, O land; be glad and rejoice: for the LORD will do great things" (Joel 2:20a, 21). He added the Latter Rain promise two verses later, "He will cause to come down for you the rain, the former rain, and the latter rain in the first month" (Joel 2:23b). The first month is the Feast of Trumpets, the next unfulfilled feast of Israel. It is also a Jewish type for the coming Rapture of Christ's Bride.

We are living in the golden age of the prophetic finishing of all things. Keep your eyes on the Holy Scripture and your heart in total surrender to the Lordship of our Savior and Captain, Jesus Christ.

If Russia and her allies invade and are supernaturally destroyed, I’m packing it in and spending the rest of my days preaching.

Any idiot who sees that happen and doesn’t believe in God, they’re already meat for the Beast. I’ll do what I can, but I am not going to allow myself to be left behind. I I do step away, it’s because I don’t want to go to heaven without knowing that those close to me are going too.

When Christ revels Himself there are going to be more than the Muslims naked. Christ said let no man deceive you and that there would be many coming in His name deceiving ... not in a Muslim name.

By the way when in the Bible record was any ticketed out of this earth to escape tribulation.

If you know Christ, you most probably will not be here to see it firsthand.

What do you mean? I thought the Rapture happened afterwards.

No one escapes tribulation in a fallen world, but God does promise to get those who know Him as Savior off the scene before He sends judgment.

There are those who believe that Christians will go through the judgment God has for those who refuse to accept His gift of salvation, but I believe, based on Scripture and God’s track record, that those who know Christ will be taken out before the wrath falls.

I thought the rapture was after the attack on Israel.

If I had the chance, I’d prefer to stay behind and do what I can to get as many in the fold as possible. Since the time line is pretty much set up, after three and a half years I’d been in Petra with my fellow converts partying like mad waiting for Christ to appear.

Don’t get me wrong I’d work too, but I’d still kick back and happily wait to meet Christ. I would spend free time writing questions to ask.

We very well could be here for the attack on Israel- no one seems to be able to pinpoint when that will occur because there is nothing in Scripture that gives any clue about the timing.

I would spend free time writing questions to ask.

(Smile). I figure after the few centuries it will take me to get used to my new environment, I may be able to remember what I've always wanted to ask. Maybe I'll have a sharper memory by then.

The War of Gog and Magog

None will understand this until they study the Standard Works of The Church of Jesus Christ which connects the dots from the beganning of existance down to this day and age that we live.

But like so many who have proven they love to “Kick against the prick!”

It’s reminds me of those “Who would Cut off ones nose to spite their face!”

One does not have to be LDS to read these things, nor will those who hearts are harden be able to receive understanding of what is on the written page!

The rapture happens before the Tribulation period, not after. This war in Gaza is not Armageddon. But I’m sure, by all of the protests, that it will make it easier in the future for other nations to gather against Israel after the rapture. Things look like they are headed that way.

The war of Ezekial (armies invading Israel, supernatural intevention; fire and brimstone, etc.) is before any rapture. The battle of Armegeddon is after a rapture. This is very clear in scripture.

What about the Jews in Moses's time? He actually FED them from heaven.

Don't doubt our stupidity.

**..goin back to eden, yeah brother.**

That episode FIT the time frame of History. It showed just how LOONY the LOONY LEFT was going to become??

As I sharpened my crayons to write to the Network to demand the 3rd season, I believe I may have been incorrect in that judgement. So to make up for that, I’m working with the “STAR TREK PHASE II” group (Star Trek New Voyages) which as turned out some work even better than the original.
