| Gog & Magog Part five The Great Sea Apocalypse Of Part Three-A Combined I have questioned myself and the Lord several times, regarding this lesson, which, relates to the nations the Prophets were referring to in the “last-days, namely Ezekiel, Daniel, Zechariah and the Apocalyspe of John. I cannot find a single nation that is not Muslim in the prophecies against the nations that surround Jerusalem and God’s Land of Israel. Several Scriptures come to mind … 1) SATAN’S LAST HURRAH! “Now when the thousand years have expired, Satan will be released from his prison and will go out to deceive the nations, which are in the four corners of earth, Gog & Magog to gather them together to battle, whose number is as the sand of the sea.” This is the only verse in the NT that mentions Gog &Magog by name. Please note: all nations in the four corners of the earth are referred to as: Gog & Magog…“They went up on the breadth of the earth and surrounded the camp of the saints and the beloved city (Jerusalem); and fire came down from God out of heaven and devoured them,” Revelation 20:7-9. But all nations cannot do this! 2) THE TRUSTWORTHY PROPHETIC WORD “So we have the prophetic Word “confirmed,” which you do well to heed as a light that shines in a dark place, until the day dawns and the Morning Star rises in your hearts; knowing this first, that no prophecy of Scripture is of any private interpretation, for prophecy never came by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit,” 2 Peter 1:16-21. Speaking of OT prophets concerning Israel primarily , . . and their promised Messiah . . . and the nations surrounding them, that is, the Land of Yahweh God! (What was the incident that confirmed God’s word to the three disciples, Peter, James and John, on the Mount of Transfiguration, which Peter is referring to? They saw the Lord in His fleshly body transformed, when the Shekina Glory that dwelt within Him, manifest before their very eyes; and heard with their own ears, what He received from His Father, ‘honor and glory when a voice came to Him from 2 (heaven’s) Excellent Glory’: “This is My beloved Son, in whom I Am well pleased.” The prophetic Word “confirmed” was, that the Messiah, Emmanuel “God with us had come and He is My SON!” (The Messiah had come, Israel; don’t look for another)! But also, Peter is saying, that, “the prophetic Word (of all OT prophecies are a lamp unto our feet to guide us in our teachings…right up to “that Day,” that is to dawn, when the Morning Star (Jesus) rises in our hearts (resurrects us) at His appearing! After the period of the “Dark Ages,” they called it, “A New Day Began to Dawn,” or “The Dawning of a New Day.” Our New Day Children, “Will begin with the rising of the Morning Star in our hearts given to us by the Lord, we who are living and overcome to the end,” Rev 2:28. It is the ‘overcomers’ who will rule the nations with Messiah Jesus, according to John’s vision. What we are to produce is ‘Overcomers.’ We will give an account of our obedience. 3) THE SIGN OF YOUR COMING & THE END OF THE AGE “Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the “sign” of Your coming, and of the end of the age?” Jesus answered, “Take heed that no one deceives you…” “You will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass; …but the end is not yet. For nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom (no one world order, they can’t unify). There will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of sorrows. Then they will deliver you up to kill you, and you will be hated by all nations for My name’s sake. “ Matthew 24:3-14 Please note: Jesus is addressing His own disciples here, that all nations will hate them (the disciples represent His own Body (Temple) of Believers), because they bare witness to His name, not to themselves, the world hates the name, Jesus! This is why the world-over uses the name, God, and not Messiah’s name Yeshua, Jesus, including the Jews. The Lord Jesus does not mention specifically, the “Gog & Magog” War of chapters 38-39 in Ezekiel’s Prophecies; nor however, does He mention by name, the war of Armegeddon… unless these wars are included in the “nation shall rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom, not wars and rumors of wars.” Neither, is the Gog & Magog War mentioned in Daniel’s 7 Four Beast prophecy, (unless Gog plays a 3 different role than what we have been taught). Nor is he mentioned in Daniel’s 2 Iron & Clay prophecy, except for the “little horn!” It is Israel who is the sign of God’s faithfulness to His people, which the world should take note of; remember, OT prophecies are a “LAMP UNTO OUR FEET,” Children; this includes all prophecies that have not as yet been fulfilled. But according to the apostle Peter, the saints were looking for “’the day of the Lord’ when the heavens would be on fire and melt with fervent heat,” and “we saints receiving a Kingdom which cannot be shaken!” 4) WHO DO WE LISTEN TO IN THESE LAST DAYS? But, we are to listen to Him, Jesus, as He unveils OT parabolic mysteries of the Kingdom to us, which the Angels longed to look into, but now the Angels know the mysteries of it! “For God who had various times and in various ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets, has in these last days spoken to us by His Son, whom He has appointed heir of all things, through whom He also made the worlds (Gk aeons, ages), … Let all the angels worship Him… Who makes His angels spirits, His ministers a flame of fire… are they not all ministering spirits sent forth to minister for those who will inherit salvation?” Hebrews 1:1-14; (in time past they were the mediators of God to Moses and man). And: “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased, hear Him,” Matthew 17:5. The Apocalyspe that the Lord revealed to John, is just that, the Apocalyspe! John’s Apocalyspe, I am rethinking, is the last 7 years of the Jewish sabbatical end-time, divided into three and one-half years. This is why it is set in the Jerusalem’s Middle East, and among these are the Mediterranean Peoples (Great Sea); we cannot get away from that, we should not spiritualize it, is my thought. And it does affect the economy of all nations, and their global credit & trade agreements, because the Gospel of the Kingdom is Messianic! Listen, Israel has been ‘recalled’ as a witness! Then, you ask, Who is it who is doing the recalling? None other, than Messiah Yeshua Himself! Selah! “Will You, Yeshua, at this time restore the Kingdom to Israel…” Acts 1:6,7. The Father has ordained it to be so! Later we will introduce “God’s War On Terror” By an ex-Muslim Terrorist Walid Shoebat converted to Messiah Jesus! 4 “And then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many. And because lawlessness will abound (as in the days of Noah), the love of many will grow cold. But he that endures to the end shall be saved.” (Please note, when the END comes). “And this Gospel of the Kingdom will be preached in all the world “as a witness” to all nations, and then the end will come,” Matthew 24:3-14. Those living at this Apocalyptic-Time must endure to the end of the Beast and False Prophet’s reign of the Abomination of Desolation, and his mark, 2 Thessalonians 2:1-12; Revelation 13:13- 18. Saints, It is not any of our man-made-thought-up Gospel messages, of the Kingdom, that is to be preached. Hear me, because just any message without the power of the Cross of Jesus & His Resurrection, will not give the true witness of the Kingdom of Yahweh God. We do, however, see the Kingdom of God manifested by the ‘two witnesses in sack-cloth’ in Jerusalem, “they not loving their lives unto the death,” which John reveals in the Apocalyspe! O, Dear Children of God, there is a Great Falling Away from the Gospel Message that the Lord Jesus, Yeshua taught His apostles. The New Covenant is in His Precious Blood and no other! Let us use His holy name, Jesus, in honor and not in shame. “For without holiness no man shall see God.” Don’t be politically correct! If you are going thru the fire, be very thankful, He is only purifying His Temple. These overcoming Saints, according to the Lord, make-up the first resurrection, and reign with Him a thousand years Revelation 20:4-6. We find these teachings only in John’s Apocalypse. There seems to be an overlapping period between the Second Coming of Yeshua on a white horse to destroy the Beast and False Prophet, and slipping into the Millennium, “which is not the world to come that the Lord Jesus promised,” states Peter, “which the Christians are looking / waiting to enter into, because at that time the heavens will be dissolved, the elements will melt with fervent heat… 2 Peter 3:10-13; Revelation 21:1 seq. “Yet once more I shake not only the earth; but also heaven(s).” Now this, “Yet once more,” indicates the removal of those things that are made (created), that the things which cannot be shaken may remain. Therefore since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us have grace, by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence 5 and godly fear; for our God is a consuming fire,” Hebrews 12:25-29; Isa 34:4; 54:10; 65:17; Rom 8:19, 21; 1 Co 731; Heb 1:10. Read very carefully, for we will see teachings, which we have heard, very differently. (“Every few hundred years in history there occurs a sharp transformation… Within a few short decades, society rearranges itself…it’s worldview, its basic values; its social and political structures; its arts, its key institutions. Fifty years later, there is a new world. And the people born then cannot even imagine the world in which their grandparents lived…We are currently living through just such a transformation. It is creating the post- capitalist society…”) An Apocalypic society! Peter Druckers, The Post Capitalist Society, 1993; page 1. Taken From: “THE EMERGENT CHURCH IS A FORM OF PAGANISM,” Gog &Magog War or Psalm 83 War Some believe, and some do not, while others have discovered new theology, that there are two, if not three, major wars that will precede the Return of Messiah Jesus; one being, the Gog & Magog war of Ezekiel 38 & 39; and another being the immediate war of Psalm 83. We will give the different views, which you can meditate and decide. WARS AGAINST ISRAEL IN THE “TIME OF THEIR KINGDOM,” WERE, CONSIDERED BY GOD AS GENTILE NATIONS IN ANCIENT TIMES, CALLED: “THE LANDS OF Magog.” It seems, that these nations of old reunite, after Israel’s final Regathering as Messiah’s “recalled witness” to the stand! They are regathered and fight several eschatological end-time wars, as we are seeing now, and Jerusalem becomes the Middle East’s heavy Stone; it is burdensome to ‘any nation’ trying to lift it; today, it is a holy City to: Judaism, Christianity and Islam. Abraham’s descendants all, according to Yahweh God’s WORD; all because of the Covenant Promise the LORD made with Abraham; which Covenant the Lord Yeshua fulfilled by His death & resurrection. Yeshua called it “the New Covenant in My Blood;” however, we are waiting, for the literal completion of that Covenant. Trying to get the Gentiles, the Jews & the Islamic people to believe this is, a great religious problem and future wars are predicted. 6 Several wars, according to O.T. prophecies, will precede the return of Jesus Messiah to earth, when He will establish His Millennial reign as King of kings and Lord of lords in the days of the 7th trumpet … this reign will follow the Tribulation Period of three and one-half years of Daniel 12:1-3 (seq.), which is the war of Armegeddon in the Land of Israel…Notice the setting of Daniel 11 & 12, and The Great Mediterranean Apocalypse! according to John)! In this Battle of Armegeddon, hundreds of thousands of soldiers, representing the Muslim Islamic nations come to destroy Israel and are overthrown in the Valley of Decision near the End of the Apocalyptic period in the region of the Great Mediterranean Sea. Look at your maps. Yahweh God watches over His Word to perform it, whether it is positive or negative; He ignores political correctness, but watches over His people obedient to Him even unto their death if need be! You will find the Beast’s Empire located in the Middle East! During this period of time: “There shall be a time of trouble, such as never was a nation, even to that time. And, at that time your people (Daniel), shall be delivered, every one who is found written in the Book. And many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake…some to everlasting life and some to everlasting shame and contempt. Those that are wise will shine as the stars in the firmament, and those who turn many to righteousness, shine as the stars forever more!” Notice that Michael and His angels are warring for the Apple of God’s eye…and “‘Those’ who turn many to righteousness will shine (w/God’s Shekina Glory) forever and ever!” So, this should move we Christians to turn many to the righteousness of Messiah/Christ. The battle of Gog & Magog is on its way, and it may or may not precede the battle of Armegeddon, is the message that is being herald in many circles among the evangelicals; and the many Bible Prophecy teachers. But, the one thing about this teaching, that bothers me, is the fact that no one is mentioning (except the latest Bill Salus’ quote, I sent you): that first of all the Scripture state: “that Israel is at rest and prosperous; so, keep that in Mind… An’ Gog may be the Lawless one? 7 Children, please read Ezekiel 35-39, so that I do not have to quote all the verses for you here. We see that Israel is being brought back from among all nations and has been given the Land of their forefathers: Abraham, Isaac and Jacob…thus fulfilling the Lord’s Word regarding JERUSALEM, Luke 21:24, “when the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled,” that is, completely, ruling over Jerusalem…and Romans 11:25; but also 11-25, but, immediately we read the next event that will take place, according to the Lord, is: “And there will be signs in the sun, in the moon, and in the stars (signs in the heavens), and on Earth distress of nations, with perplexity, the sea and the waves roaring, mens hearts failing them from fear and the expectation of those things which are coming on the earth, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken. Then they will “see” the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.” (Could this be what Peter is referring to…” the heavens being on fire?” is this the sign in the heavens, when His glory shines forth like lightning from east to west throughout the heavens, as was also predicted). “He not only shakes the earth, but this time, shakes the heavens as well!” Hebrews 12:25-29 The Prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal, whose name is Gog, has with him a great company of armed military: Persia (Iran, Elam, Shem’s descendant), Cush (Ham’s descendant), and Put/Phut (Libya, Ham’s descendant); including Gomer (another off-spring of Japheth) with his people; and Togarmah in the far parts of the north (also a descendant of Japheth who migrated northward & eastward from the region, which is now called Turkey, who plays a very large role in these Muslim states). These countries during Biblical times are today known as: Iran, Libya, Ethiopia (Sudan), Egypt, Turkey, all Islamic Muslim Republics and are known as Magog. Rosh, Meshech and Tubal; Refer To: Rosh, Moscow and Tobolsk, but not to Russia’s major Cities, some say; the Geneva Bible says, they are two other countries, which had the government of Greece and Italy or to Turkey, both or all Mediterranean enemies against Israel in their original setting. The Muslims will form a confederation to invade Israel in the Middle East (The Mediterranean Sea Prophecies), for the purpose of destroying Israel and their land. What they have in mind is a “religious jihad,” 8 with the prophet Mohammad’s god, Allah, proving to be the Most High, over Moses’ Yahweh God. Ezk 36:7, says, “it is the nations round Israel.” “Dwight Pentecost and John Walvoord, respected men of God, believe that Russia will lead this invasion of Muslim nations. Russia has for many years coveted a place in the Middle East, and would like to take over the oil wells of the Arabian Peninsula, and with one invasion regain her place as a world superpower and status with the big G-7, now listed as #8, (but not a member of the European Union). With this invasion the Western world will bow and plead for the energy it needs to survive, predict some. Yet it is not clear whether the Russian troops are actually involved because of research that has been found regarding Biblical times and the prophesied names of these tribal nations,” states lasthour.com. Just wait till you read “God’s War In Terror!” Actually, it concerns the ancient Writings of the Assyrians (manuscripts written some 1000 yrs. before the books of Moses), which place the location of Magog in the Landmass between ancient Armenia and Media (Medes) and Turkey. They are the Republics just south of Russia, which are in the region of (Georgia and the Caucasus Mountain Range that reaches into East Asia), and north, which (starts with Lebanon & Syria) of Israel (Jerusalem being the focal point when calculating north, south, east & west). So that the invading nations in Bible times, the terms “Rosh, Meshech and Tubal” describe tribes that occupied the landmass just north of the Caucasus Mountain Range, so writes the Schaff-Herzog Encyclopedia of Religious Knowledge, citing the Ancient Assyrians. This then, would not be the “far north” where Magog has migrated! However, it is the region Daniel’s chapters 11-12…relating to the Kings of the North &South. (A dual prophecy (?)). These Republics south of Russia, and north of Jerusalem are Georgia, Azerbajian, Afghanistan, Turkestan, Chechnya, Turkey, Iran and Dagestan…East Asia…all of them Muslim nations. States LastHour.com: “Whether or not Russian troops will be taking part in the invasion, one thing is very clear. Russian weapons and advisers will certainly be involved (and already are), since Russia is heavily 9 committed to arming and training the armed forces of Egypt, Syria, Iraq (now through) Iran; Ethiopia (Sudan), and Libya, all of them military client states of Russia. Time…and not too much time…in my view, will prove which of these Rosh-Gog-Magog interpretations is correct,” end-quote. (Remember, Libya was the only state that would not sign the treaty of the “Euro-Union for the Mediterranean”). This Treaty had nothing to do with Russia who is not a member of the EU. This seems a little confusing. PSALM 83 AN AMAZING PSALM Verses 2-8) “…those who hate You, God have lifted their head. They have taken crafty counsel against your people. And consulted together against Your sheltered ones (Israel). They have said, ‘Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation, that the name of Israel may be remembered no more.’ For they have consulted together with one consent; they form a confederacy against You: (WHO?) The tents of Edom (Esau’s descendants), and the Ishmaelite; Moab (Lot’s off-spring), and the Hagarites (Hagar’s children); Gebal, Ammon; and Amalek; Philistia (Philistines) with the inhabitants of Tyre; Assyria (Syria, Aram) has also joined with them; they have helped the children of Lot (Moabites)…” Please Note: These tribal peoples at the time Asaph wrote this Psalm, were enemies all, that hated Israel, and all were Prophecies of the Great Mediterranean Sea peoples. They were not of the Islamic faith at that time. One thing for sure…they hated “The Apple of Yahweh God’s Eye.” These nations today are all Islamic Muslim …and they mean to cut Israel off from being a nation in Arab territorial lands, and, remove completely the name, Israel! It will never happen, never! Bible scholars tells us there is absolutely no evidence that such a massive regional conspiracy to destroy Israel ever came into power and successfully fulfilled this effort in ancient times…but, it is because Yahweh forbade it. But now, it is Yahweh who is moving the angelic powers in the heavenlies…fulfilling His predicted Word, “Hath God said!” These could be, and seems to be, the Ancient Magog nations mentioned above. 10 Here is another quote from LastHour.com: “Though Israel’s enemies will enjoy massive numerical superiority, the Bible clearly tells us that by the power of God, Tiny Israel will utterly devastate the invading armies and her Allies in this war, a war that historians of the day may likely call World War III.” (It is on the lips of today’s News Casters). LastHour goes on to say: “When the invading armies move across Israel’s borders ‘TO TAKE A SPOIL,’ what will the rest of the world do to stop the slaughter? They will not even lift a finger beyond shouting empty words, according to Ezekiel 38:13. (Please note however, that according to the same Scriptures, Israel is dwelling peacefully…she is at rest and prosperous…therefore the words, “have you come to take a spoil?” seems, to call up the question: “when then, is Israel found at rest and at peace?” which, so far, has not been answered; therefore, is there to be another Treaty of some kind? Or, is Psalm 83 war, first fought and won as Bill Salus is teaching in his new released book Isralestine 342 pages? “Here is how the Prophet describes it, ‘Sheba, and Dedan (in Saudi Arabia’s Yemen, or Ethiopia), and the Merchants of Tarshish with all the young lions thereof.” (Ancient World Map shows Tarshish close by the tip of Spain bordering the coastline of the Great Sea at the mouth of the Atlantic Ocean, the Straits of Gibralter, and across from Northern Africa, at that time named Phut, and other descendants of Ham; which (they, the merchants), called the Great Sea, the Sea of Tarshish (it, being the Trading Route). Also, the map shows that Spain, France, Italy (which had the government of Greece) and the entire northwestern region colonized by the descendants of Gomer (?)! These young lions (at that time) were not Britain and the U.S.! but, represented the trading routes of the nations of the Great Mediterranean Sea (Mediterranean Peoples); therefore, Scripture speaks of the “ships of Tarshish.” The map shows too, that the far northern nations that migrated are descendants of Magog originally in Turkey, addressed as Scythians; and, several other eastern nations are children of Magog, son of Japheth, including Pakistan and Eastern India. But, remember, the prophecy of Ezekiel 38 & 39 relates to the Gentile nations who came against Israel in ancient times, which Ezekiel names. In Ancient times, Russia proper, is not one, they are the ones “in Israel’s kingdom time.” 11 of them…but some of her descendants were. But Ezekiel’ s words are: “In the latter days…” If, Gog is the Prince of Russia, he will find his burial place in Israel! In fact, it will be east of the shores of the “Mediterranean Sea” in Israel. “And, the people who pass by will call it “Valley of Hamon Gog,” for there Israel will bury Gog and all his multitude, which will take seven months for the House of Israel to bury them, in order to cleanse the land!” Hamon Gog means: The Multitude of Gog or Hordes of Gog! Ezekiel 39:11-16…v. 13 “Indeed all the people of the land will be burying, and they (Israel) will ‘gain renown’ for it on the day that I am glorified,” says the Lord God. (This Gog cannot be the “Man of Sin & the False Prophet,” can he? for these two are not buried on the Mountains of Israel, but cast into the “lake of fire,” at Messiah’s Second Coming. Yahweh God declares: v. 4 “You (Gog & Magog) shall fall upon the mountains of Israel, you (Gog) and all your troops and the peoples who are with you; I will give you to the birds of prey of every sort and to the beasts of the field to be devoured.” V. 6 “And I will send fire on Magog and those who live in security (securely or confidently) in the coastlands.” Who are the coastlands, Isles? Does Gog seat himself in the Temple of God? Are they Britain and her lion cubs, America? No! The nations of the Mediterranean Peoples, the home- country coastlands of the invading armies, which surround Israel! What kind of fire is God describing, Nuclear? (Study Zechariah) Ezekiel 38:21-23 “I will call for a sword against Gog throughout all My holy mountains (Israel),” says the Lord God. “Every man’s sword will be against his brother (as radical Islamic jihadists are doing today, for example). “And I will bring him (Gog) to judgment with pestilence and bloodshed; I will rain down on him, on his troops, and on the many peoples with him, great hailstones, fire, and brimstone. Thus I will magnify Myself and sanctify Myself, and I will be known in the eyes of many nations. Then they shall know that I Am the Lord.” The only way Americans will be part of this destruction is… “To be enlisted as one of the troops/armies in this battle against Israel!” Israel will win this War and because of winning it, will gain renown. 12 “EXCEEDING GREAT ARMY THAT EXPLOITS ARAB RESOURCES…” TRUE OR FALSE? Could this be the “mo’ed, “time and season,” “that Israel is at rest and prosperous?” She is prosperous now, but certainly not at rest! The time that they will expand territorially, become regionally superior, take prisoners of war, and exploit the resources of the conquered Arab nations? as Bill Salus predicts. He, quotes Psalm 83, stating, “it is destiny’s design for this great army confrontation with an Arab (only) confederacy consisting of Palestinians, Lebanese, Syria, Jordanians, Saudis, Egyptians, and terrorists groups like Hamas, Hezbollah, and Al-Quada. In that condition they will become one of, if not the wealthiest nation on earth. It is from that position of empowerment that the Jews will dwell securely in the Middle East.” According to Bill Salus, “In that position, subsequently, the world stage is set for Russian-Iranian led coalition of nations, which will form against Israel as prophesied in Ezekiel 38 & 39,” End Quote. So, Brother Bill Salus is saying, first of all, the war of Psalm’s 83 takes place, without Russia’s Magog’s involvement. And, that perhaps this Psalm 83 sets the stage for the Prince! “This Psalm could be one rocket away!” Salus says. “And this non-fiction thriller is carefully designed to automatically navigate the reader through the end-time calendar.” End quote. This does answer our question concerning Israel at rest and prosperous…before the question is put to Prince Gog, by the Merchants of Tarshish, Sheba and Dedan and all their young lions, “Have you come to take a spoil? Have you gathered to take booty, to carry away silver and gold, to take away livestock and goods…to take great plunder? (From who? Israel). Therefore, son of man, prophesy and say to Gog, ‘Thus saith the Lord God; “on that day when My people Israel dwell safely, will you not know it? Then you will come from your place out of the “far north,” (this would be Russia (?)), you and many peoples with you, all of them riding horses, a great company, and a mighty army. You will come up against My people Israel like a cloud, to cover the land. It will be in the latter days that I will bring you against 13 My land, so that nations may know Me, when I am hallowed in you, O Gog, before their eyes.” Please notice, Who is in control!!! ‘Thus says the Lord God: “Are you he of whom I have spoken in former days by My servants the prophets of Israel, who prophesied for years in those days that I would bring you against them?” (Actually Children, you should begin reading in Ezekiel chapters 35-39. God’s realignment of ancient-enemy-nations against Israel is being set, today! This is the very reason, the Jewish disciples of Yeshua, knowing these ancient prophetic Scriptures, and that Israel was to be restored, to the Land of their fathers, before the end would come, asked the Lord: “Will You at this time restore the Kingdom to Israel?” And He said to them, “It is not for you to know times or seasons which the Father has put in His own authority,” Acts 1:6b-7. As we have said before, the times & seasons have come, this and other prophecies of God’s WORD, are to be fulfilled; thus we see, the Authority of Father God’s realignment of nations! This was the purpose, at least one of them, which moved President Bush to invade Iraq! Our God is in control! The Book of Revelation, as we call it, although, the Lord Jesus addressed it to John as The Apocalypse. Which, Apocalyspe, is revealing the last seven-year- battle to the Seven Lampstand Churches, Israel, and the two Jewish Lampstand prophets witnessing to the world, the Kingdom of God! The Lord revealed to me Sunday past, “that as the Lord is our Attorney (Advocate), seated at the right hand of the Father, He has the right, the authority to recall any witness to the Witness Stand. He showed me, He has recalled Israel as a witness before all nations, which will fulfill OT prophecies, glorifying His name, all this was revealed to the Church & Israel in the “Seven Trumpet” Apocalypse, of the Apostle John.” It has 404 verses with over 800 references to the OT, according to Khouse.com I was stunned! I have never heard this before, nor heard, Jesus say that to me. An amazing revelation flooded my mind lasting a second or two, that a recalling, to anyone who has fallen away, like myself, can 14 also be recalled to his or her first calling. He made me to understand in that instant of revelation, if true repentance is made, He forgives, He reminded me of this word; “for the gifts and calling of God are without repentance,” Romans 11:29 in Paul’s revelation relating to Israel! They have fallen … but only till the Gentiles have been grafted in … not raptured out! Read it again, Children. I have been mentally distressed over some teachings I have heard and read, that even my sleep took leave. But now, I am asking the Lord, “If perhaps, Israel enters the Millennium as a nation, after the battle with “the Man of Sin,” as the “Camp of the Saints?” which is recorded in Revelation 20:7-10. I am not sure if that is true or not … but my ear is beginning to burn as I stated that!!! Indicating that that assumption is true, to me! And so, with Gog & Magog coming upon the breath of the earth, their count being as the sand of the sea, surrounding the city, Jerusalem, the Camp of the Saints; this could not possibly mean the entire population of saved saints being stationed in Israel’s land. The Lord did say, to the Disciples, “That their portion in the “regeneration” when the Son of Man sits on the throne of His glory; You (the disciples) who have followed Me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel,” Matthew 19:23-29. Selah! (Please note: the subject of the question was, mainly riches)! But according to v. 29 everyone else who has left houses, or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or lands, for My name’s sake, shall receive a hundredfold and inherit eternal life (in the regeneration).” Therefore, it seems that the regeneration begins with the Millennium, don’t you think? WHERE DOES ANTICHRIST FIT IN? According to LastHour.com, “Israel will have one ally (during the Gog & Magog War)…No less than the Antichrist! This teaching really throws me! According to Daniel 11-12, LastHour teaches: the assault against Israel will be launched by Egypt (bordering the Great Mediterranean 15 Sea), known Biblically as the ‘the King of the South,’ (against the King of the North), Antichrist (which, is Syria’ s king, not Russia’s Gog).” End-Quote. This would cause Syria, somehow, to come to the aid of Israel, who is warring against Gog & Magog, not the king of Egypt. (?) How confused can we get? However, after the war with Magog, it does lead to a Treaty in the Middle East with the AntiChrist Empire, involving the same regional lands of the Babylonians, Persians, Greeks and (now) Italy’s European Rome, all countries that ring the Mediterranean Peoples, as they are called, and perhaps this is where the Union for the Euro-Mediterranean, may come in? The pattern, which is established in the visions of Daniel 11-12, shows us that Antiochus, a type of AntiChrist, rises-up in regional land of the Syrians, king of the north, which was one (of 7) of Alexander the Great’ s Greecian General’s descendants. And the king of the south is Egypt, a descendant of another General of Alexander, Pharaoh Ptolemy lll. (God identifying Countries that will war against Israel in the last days.) This will lead it seems, to a seven-year peace agreement with Israel, which, will be broken in the middle-half of the seven-years. Thus leading into the Great Tribulation of the final three and one-half years of Daniel’s seventieth week. We see, seemingly, the exact same confederacy of nations in the Anti-Messiah/Christ’s Empire. How can this be, if Gog & Magog are buried on the mountains of Israel? So, is the LastHour teaching, that Israel is in war with Gog & Magog, when suddenly the King of the South comes up from Egypt, making war with the King of the North, Gog? Which, LastHour says is, “AntiChrist.” But, we have been taught that the Prince/King of the far North is none other than, Gog of Russia! How then, does this AntiChrist, who is not Gog, come to the aid of Israel from the north in Syria, and not the far north, according to Daniel 11-12? As a matter of fact, Daniel does not mention the Prince of a “far northern land of Gog,” in his prophecy of the “four beasts he saw rising out of the Great Sea; and, that these four, in the latter days, form a confederacy called “The Beast that Was, in Revelation 13; 17; and this 16 Beast, with the help of 10 horns (kingdoms), all compose the Anti-Messiah/Christ’s kingdom! WHAT IS THE BEAST DOING WITH WORLD GOVERNMENTS? The Beast’s Target is Israel & Messiah’s Saints! “Most people today are looking for a: “One World Government,” and, there are certainly many forces at work trying to bring this to pass. Many Christians point to these verses of Revelation 13; &17:11-14 to supply the idea,” (but not all), says theendtimesproject.com. However, they go on to say, “As you read, notice that when it speaks about the beast that makes war against the Lamb, the beast is not reigning but stamping, breaking and devouring.” (But, the rest of that sentence is: “that the Beast is stamping, etc., the residue (of what is left) with his feet;” so, who are the feet of this beast? the Bear! Medes and Persians, ShSd). “This suggests that he will draw the world into a world war type of conflict. Just as the Nazi Germany was the base from which Hitler launched his destruction, so will the Beast and the ten-nation (horns) coalition MIDDLE EAST Empire of the beast… that the Bible repeatedly mentions be a base of destruction for the Anti-Messiah/Christ. Hitler never controlled the world but he certainly did control what was happening on the whole face of the earth for many years. Any nation that clings to righteousness (God’s kind of righteousness) will be a primary target for the Anti-Christ. There are scriptures that suggest there will be good nations and then those that God will judge even beyond just the time of God’s wrath. Jesus said, “That no flesh would be saved if the time was not shortened,” End Quote. (But for the elects sake that time will be shortened, finishes the words of Jesus, Matthew 24:22. Jesus is speaking of the “tribulation period” in Jerusalem’s Judea, ShSd. SUMMARY We have studied in our Lessons, that there is nearly always a primary fulfillment to all prophecy. As I researched this Lesson, I discovered why we as Christians, are so confused regarding our beliefs, and doctrinal ideas. 1. The Geneva Bible 1559’s “notes”: almost always replaces the prophecies relating to National Israel in the Book of Ezekiel 17 chapters 35-39, to the Church, that is, spiritualizing it to Christian enemies, when the word literally says “Israel” …there could not possibly be a misconception! It is prophecies of Israel’s Restoration to their Land! But other notes are very, very good. A lot of good history! 2. In the Book of Revelation the Geneva Bible’s notes are from the Preterists theology. I may run that view down to you sometime. 3. Then, we have the teachings of Hippolytus of the Anti-Nicene Fathers. He also has good teaching…but he believes that the Anti-Chirst is the nation of Israel! And that the 10-horns of whom 3 are completely uprooted, are: Egypt, Libya, and Ethiopia by the “little horn” who is Anti-Messiah, Jews/Israel! Well, I don’t know about that! However, his teachings were, hailed by the then living Christians, at least some, and found them to be very good in many instances. I have rewritten them for you to judge for yourself. They will be sent in a separate lesson. 4. All of these men, and other manuscripts, are centered round the “Great Mediterranean Sea!” So, direct your eyes to the Middle East and Israel’s Jerusalem AND WORLDWIDE ECONOMY!
