Ezekiel 38 & 39

There is an old legend of the Oracles of the Greeks in being inquired of if one of their states made war with the Persians it was asked what would be the outcome.
The Oracle replied, "A great kingdom will fall".

Immediately, the Greek king went out and attacked the Persians and immediately the Persians routed him.

Dejected, the king returned and scolded the Oracle.

The Oracle replied, "You should not have been so stupid and asked which kingdom was going to fall, your's or the Persians".

For the few people who have ventured into the realm of asking God or hearing messages from God they soon find out like Elijah that God makes things know, but God also for His purposes keeps things to Himself. (I Kings 19:18)
Likewise demonic oracles have their own allure to downright possession of peoples in swaying them and keeping things to themselves.

As the world beholds the current situation in Russia, Persia to what is going in around Jerusalem, it is certain that the same demonic hierarchy of princes are being allowed to venture into the same influence which Gabriel spoke of to the Prophet Daniel in the "prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood him 21 days". (Daniel 10:13)
These are the "principalities and powers" which Paul spoke of and are of a very powerful group of anti forces with their own agenda, chief of which is destroying God's redemptive relationship with mankind by influencing mankind to destructive behavior. (Ephesians 6:12)

Far too long people have thrown around the word Armageddon without having a clue to what it is or where it fits in the timeline of Biblical prophecy. In that, they keep attaching the Ezekiel chapter 38 and 39 prophecies in centering them on Russia as a proof that Russia is a boogey man in prophecy to watch in the events occurring now, especially in Georgia.

For those doing so, they are exposing themselves to the absolute fact of how ignorant they are and how God's Holy Spirit is not operating in what they are saying, because the Bible explains exactly when Ezekiel 38 and 39 are to happen in a definite time, and I can promise it is not anywhere near the year 2008 nor for that matter 2308 to 2808.
The reason I can promise such a thing is the Bible informs the world when the date is.

For those who do not know what the Ezekiel prophecies are about, a little explanation needs to occur.
Ezekiel was one of the most suffering of prophets and the most remarkable of people. He lived in Judea and one day God literally picked him up and dumped him with the exiles to the east with a message for the lost 10 tribes and also their future, and, for the Jewish people who were captive and would be captive by the Babylonians.
Ezekiel was stricken and paralyzed. His beloved wife even died as a sign that no one would mourn for the kingdom of Judah when she was exiled.

Ezekiel was shown wonderful things from the guardian angels of God's throne to the much talked about 3rd Temple which will be built and the infamous now chapters 38 and 39 which deal with Gog and Magog.

The Bible tells the world that Gog is the land of Magog of the Japheth line of the three sons of Noah, who is chief prince or ruling tribe of Meshech and Tubal. Meshech is Moscow.
This is why Russia always starts being pointed to in prophecies.

God states He will put a hook in their mouth and draw them forth. That means God will make them do His will in bringing them out to attack the world.
Other nations are named in Persia, Ethiopia, Libya, Gomer and Togarmah and many other peoples.

Verse 8 in Ezekiel 38, God sets the "time" this will happen when Magog will come against the land of Israel WHEN ALL OF ISRAEL HAS BEEN GATHERED OUT OF THE WORLD to which it was scattered and now dwells safely in that land.

This is so vital to understand as people are so uninformed now that they think all Jews are Israel. I will explain it this way for the facts.
All Jews are not all of Israel no more than all Americans are Californian. There are 12 states or tribes in Israel and while all Judeans are Israelites, not all Israelites are Jews.

The person named Israel in the Bible was Jacob. He had 12 sons. Judah being one is the father of the Judeans, of them came King David whose throne is the throne Jesus the Christ will sit upon.
Jacob's other sons were Reuben, who after exile immigrated as a people who are now in northern France. Naphtali are the Norwegians. Simeon is the Celtic peoples. Issachar is the Swiss and Fins. Zebulon is the Netherlands. Gad is the Swedes. Asher is the Scots. (The Scots declare this in the modern Declaration of Arbaroath which was the basis for the United States Declaration of Independence.) Dan are the people of Denmark. (That is what Denmark means, Mark of Dan and was a prophecy that Dan would always show where the exiles were as he would show the way. There is a monument on the seashore of Denmark noting this is the tribe of Dan.)
and Joseph who Jacob blessed as his sons, putting his name and blessing on them.

What that means is Jacob placed the birthright crown and the blessings of prosperity on Joseph's sons, Ephraim and Manasseh.
Ephraim was to become the greatest colonizing people the world had ever seen holding the Davidic crown after Judah was exiled and his brother would be in prophecy become thee greatest single nation in national wealth and power ever known to mankind.
Ephraim is the British Commonwealth and Manasseh is the United States of America.

This blessing and birthright has powerful and prosperous divendends, but God expects the British and American peoples to behave themselves as this is a Spiritual mandate to set an example to the world in showing the moral way to God for all peoples, including Russians and Muslims by example.

Americans can look back at our strange history as famines, wars and unexplainable immigrations happening in mass from certain nations. This was simply God taking back His sifted and lost people and planting them as He said He would. (Amos 9:9)

In all cases in prophecy for the "latter days" whenever the name "house of Israel" is being mentioned, it is not Jews being spoken of . They are the "house of Judah" in the southern kingdom. The house of Israel is speaking about the British and Americans.
Perhaps that makes a great deal more sense in how a God could ignore the United States in Biblical events. God wasn't ignoring anything. He deliberately hid this for events to play out.

The founding Fathers hinted of knowing all of this and into the late 1800's before historical texts were scrubbed in the 1900's one could find references to America as the New Israel.

The latter days are so important to understand this, because those days are now what are beginning to happen. The majority of prophecy which people like Abraham, Jacob, Joseph, Daniel, Ezekiel and the Apostles all were looking for in wonder are due to start taking place from this point on in history.
PLEASE UNDERSTAND THIS POINT THOUGH, in Ezekiel 38 verse 8, there occurs a phrase not found anywhere else in the Bible. God does not use the term "latter days", but instead uses distinctly, "latter years".

God does this, because He is not speaking of the period now or even of the Russians now. How do we discern this?
We discern this because of the great timeline book called the Revelation of Jesus the Christ, which is a chronological order of events to take place.

If one does a search for Magog in the Revelation timeline, Gog and Magog, they appear in Revelation verse 20:8.
The same scenario of Ezekiel 39 and 39 are being worked out, but one finds in detail that the hook is the devil sent out to deceive a group of people as numerous as the sands of the sea to come and attack the 12 tribes of Israel now residing in their original homeland.

Revelation 20 verse 9 states plainly, there is not going to be any war, no nuclear bombs, not one American picking up a rock to defend themselves. God states He will do the battle and destroy this group who have rejected the rule of Jesus the Christ.

When does this occur?

God explains in Revelation 20 verses 2 and 3. I will quote them as they are self explanatory:

Verse 2: And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,

Verse 3: And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.

So there is no doubt, Armageddon, has to occur first OVER THOUSAND YEARS BEFORE Ezekiel 39 and 39.

The earth has to be darkened and the moon as blood OVER A THOUSAND YEARS BEFORE Ezekiel 39 and 39.

The 3rd Temple of Ezekiel's prophecies has to be built OVER A THOUSAND YEARS BEFORE Ezekiel 38 and 39.

Jesus has to be ruling in Jerusalem OVER A THOUSAND YEARS BEFORE before Ezekiel 39 and 39.

As most people's address is not Gilead in reading this, you have not been gathered yet nor have been living in your native land for over a thousand years, so Ezekiel 38 and 39 are not going to happen yet, because God says so.

There literally is no excuse in this for anyone getting this incorrect as it is plain as can be. The hysteria over Russia so skewed so many "experts" over the years they went blind to the facts of what God was relating and have done a great deal of damage in harming people's faith.

Do not get me incorrect in this that Russia is not going to play a role in the events which are coming up, because she will as she is a natural enemy to the Shem line.
The Shem line is from Noah who had 3 sons, Japheth who the Russians are of and most of the world, but who was inferior spiritually was the oldest. The spiritually acceptable heart to God was Shem, whose children are "semites" and include the 12 tribes of Israel, Germans who are of a different branch into the Arabs who are sons of Ishmael from Abraham to Turks who are Jacob's brother, Esau, and Jordanians are of Lot, Abraham's nephew.
Ham was the 3rd son and is the African peoples.
People sometimes wonder how Noah's sons could produce all these races and it was simple in his wives were of the 3 different skin colors and God loves diversity in colors. If one traces back the genetics, the science will point to mankind traces it's lineage back to 3 women. Those 3 women are the wives of the sons of Noah.

Russia is though named in the near future events as "the king of the north" who attacks the anti christ who is from a coming revival of the Roman Empire just like Germany and Italy were with various states in World War II. The reason Russia attacks is this European force attacks north Africa and swings up into Jerusalem to rule from there.
That is why the Khazars or Ashkenaz who are of the Japheth line and converted to a form of Judaism long ago and make up the ruling elite of Europe and the Israeli government need to be understood in who they are.

They desire the Temple Mount as their own, desire to supplant the Judeans and people of Israel's 12 tribes and are currently using the Vatican's money and the Vatican's desire to gain the Temple Mount.
That is why one finds the name Rothschild and why the Vatican keeps popping up in secret negotiations concerning the Temple Mount with the secularists running the Israeli state government.

There will be wars, but what sets off the immense war is this grab for the Temple Mount by the "Europeans" after it is taken over by the Germans who are Assyrian exiles and Babylonians who are the southern Italians now and exiles from Babylon.
The leader of this union of 10 European nations is thought to be Greek in direct reference to the first incarnation of the anti christ in Antiochos Epiphanese, who sacrificed a pig to satan on the Temple altar in Jerusalem in the abomination which makes desolate. This sordid event will occur again when the 3rd Temple is built.

That is where Russia is involved in the coming events in thrusting at this European Empire of prophecy and not in Ezekiel 39 and 39 with Revelation 20 which is definitely over a thousand years away.
We know this too from Daniel who speaks of a last 7 year cycle. The world is not in that yet, because there has not yet been a war where the European ruler or anti christ has initiated a peace after a war in the holy land.

So Russia will be Russia as she can not be anything but belligerent. She has her own mention in prophecy for the coming events, but it is not concerning Ezekiel 38 and 39.

I sincerely hope this assists people and in some ways calms them in their knowing God has this all planned out, and while events will be the worst in history, the United States for national sins will have chastisement, the combined children of Israel have a future and God is always watching over all.
Americans could avoid all of this if they would just behave themselves by simply honoring God in obeying His commandments which are there to give us prosperous and peaceful lives. The summation of all is to obey God and to care for people in the same respect we want to be cared for.

As all of us though are troubled by feeling helpless and frustrated in seeing people acting out in the worst possible way with demonic princes influencing people to do destructive things, maybe they can remember a verse which seems to bring comfort in reading and pondering it as it was given for the coming times.

Zephanian 3:17: "The Lord thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; He will save, He will rejoice over thee with joy; He will rest in His love, He will joy over thee with singing."

Amen
