| The Battle of Gog and Magog is Closer Than We Think |
The books of Ezekiel and Revelation mention a horrible battle, known as the Battle of Gog
and Magog, in which Satan himself will gather a massive army that will be made from all of
the nations that immediately surround the nation of Israel. Although this battle will mainly
happen in Israel, the scriptures also teach that this army will also attack many other nations
throughout the world.
A careful review of the scriptures show not only that this great apocalyptic battle is near, but
also that each of the nations that will compose the Nation of Gog and Magog will come from
Muslim nations, something that goes hand on hand with the end time teachings and the
believes of many Muslin religious leaders, who teach that in the later days a great Muslim
Imam, will lead all of the Muslim nations into a great holy war (Jihad) against not only Israel
but also United States and every other nation that does not submit themselves under the
Islam.
Although many Christian theologists and eschatologist for the most part believe that most of
the nations that will make the great army of Gog and Magog come from the Middle East,
many of them teach that Christians will not be on earth at the time of this horrible battle;
however, the scriptures point other wise.
In fact the attack of September 11, 2001, the United States Invasion of Afghanistan and Iraq
as well as the recent Invasion of Lebanon by Israel are key events in the fulfillment of this
prophecy. Each of these events have created great deal of turmoil and animosity between
the Arab nations, the nation of Israel and United States, to the point that at various Arab
summits there have been many discussions and requests made asking all of the Muslim
nations to join forces to fight against the nations of Israel, England and United States.
How Close Are We To The Battle of Gog and Magog?
Ezekiel chapter 38:1-18 states that once God had gathered the people of Israel back on their
land, He will put hooks in the jaws of Gog and Magog so that they would bring an army
against the nation of Israel that will cover the land of Israel like a cloud. The Nation of Israel
was brought back from the sword and from many nations of the world in 1948, when Israel
was reestablished as a nation.
Ezekiel stated that at the time when the armies of Gog and Magog would attack Israel, God
will show His fury and there will be a great earthquake in the land of Israel which will cause
every living thing, every building and every mountain on the face of the earth to shake at the
presence of God so that every mountain, every high place and every wall will fall to the
ground (Ezekiel 38:18-20). God will then call a sword against Gog and Magog so that every
man’s sword will be against his brother and judgment with pestilence, bloodshed, flooding
rain, great hailstones, fire and brimstone will rain on the troops of Gog and Magog.
At that time God will offer the people of Gog and Magog as a sacrifice to the birds of prey
and to the beast of the field to be devoured. Then God would allow the people of Israel to
bury those who died in the valley of those who pass by east of the sea and this place will be
called the Valley of Hamon Gog (Ezekiel 39:1-11).
Although it is clear that God will fight for Israel, the prophet Zachariah stated that prior to
God's
intercession; He would allow the armies of Gog and Magog to take hold of the city of
Jerusalem and to take half of the people of Jerusalem back into captivity. Zachariah
expanded by saying that many houses will be broken into and many women will be raped.
The only ones who will not be taken from the City of Jerusalem will be the remnant of the
people of God (Zachariah 14:1-3).
The book of Revelation states that once Satan has been released from his prison, he will go
out to deceive all of the nations of the world and to gather the army of Gog and Magog
whose number is as the sand of the sea. The army of Gog and Magog will surround the
beloved city of Jerusalem as well as the camp of the saints, and then fire will come down
from God in heaven and will devour Satan’s army. Satan will then be cast into the lake of fire
and brimstone where the beast and the false prophet are. These will be tormented day and
night forever and ever in the lake of fire (Revelation 20:7-10).
Why is it so important that Christians know the truth about the Battle of Gog and
Magog?
The lands that were formerly known as Gog, Magog, Rosh, Meshech, Tubal, Persia,
Ethiopia, Lybia, Gomer and Tarshish are now the nations of Turkey, Syria, Jordan, Iran, Iraq,
Sudan, Egypt, Libya, Afghanistan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan and
Kazakhstan. The latter 5 were once part of the USSR, but now are seeking to create a
Muslim Union. All of these nations have in common the fact that each them practices the
Islam.
In direct relation with the prophecy of the Battle of Gog and Magog (Ezekiel 38, 39), the
teachings of many who teach the Koran said that in the latter days the People of the Islam
(Muslims) would come together under one Imam (a great Islamic religious leader) who will
lead a holy war or “jihad” against Jews, Christians and anyone who would not convert to the
religion of the Islam. During this Great War, those who refuse to be converted to the Islam
are to be killed by the sword.
This is not a coincidence, Ezekiel prophesied saying that God Himself would place hooks in
the jaws of Gog and Magog and He will bring them to battle against the People of Israel. It is
not Satan the one who is shaking and moving things here; God is the One who is in control.
It is evident by the above scriptures that God will allow many Muslim nations to join forces as
the next world empire under the leadership of a Muslin Religious Leader. This Leader will
declare war against Jews and Christians, and will not attack only the nations of Israel and
United States but many other nations as well as many Jewish and Christian people who
currently live within in Muslim territory.
Will Christians and Messianic Jews Still be on Earth to See this Happen?
Many end time bible teachers claim that Christians will not be here at the time of the battle of
Gog and Magog stating that the rapture or gathering of the saints will happen prior to this
event; however, Revelation 20: 9 clearly states that the armies of Gog and Magog will
surround not only the City of Jerusalem but also the camp of the saints showing that both
Christians and Messianic Jewish believers will be on earth at the time of Gog and Magog.
The word saint refers to men and women who by the grace of God came to the knowledge of
Christ, and by faith in Christ these men and women were redeemed by the blood of the
Lamb.
In 2 Thessalonians 2:1-4 Paul warned us by saying that the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ
and our gathering with Him would not happen until there comes firsts a great apostasy or
rebellion and until after the manifestation of the man of sin (the false Messiah) who will sit at
the Temple of Jerusalem claiming that he is God. In other words, both the false messiah
(the Antichrist) and the Battle of Gog and Magog will happen prior to the second return of
Christ and our gathering with Him. Don't take my word for it, please read verses 1-4 on your
own bibles.
Paul also explained in 1 Corinthian 15:15 that “we,” meaning believers will be changed like
the twinkling of an eye at the last trumpet. In saying the last trumpet, Paul referred to the
seventh trumpet that is mentioned in Revelation 11:15, where John said that the seventh
angel sounded his trumpet and the kingdom of this world became the kingdom of God and of
His Christ. Unlike in the King James Version of the Bible that uses the word “kingdoms”, the
original Greek, uses the word kingdom (in singular form). This kingdom refers to the body of
believers of Christ that were called out of this world to serve Jesus in spirit and in truth.
Revelation 17: 12-14 says that ten kings, who have received no kingdom as of yet will have
one mind, meaning that they all have one religion, shall give their power and strength to
Satan, the beast and will make war against Jesus, the Lamb of God, but the Lamb shall
overcome them: for He is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are
called, and chosen, and faithful. Could these ten kings be the kings of Gog, Magog, Rosh,
Meshech, Tubal, Persia, Ethiopia, Lybia, Gomer and Tarshish.
Although many eschatologists claim that the ten kings that will fight against the lamb all come
from Europe, they often fail to realize that Revelation Chapter 13 mentions another beast,
who will come out of the earth, who had two horns like a lamb, but spoke as a dragon
(Revelation 13:11-12). This second beast will exercise all the power of the first beast (the
Empire of Rome) before him, and caused the earth and them which dwell therein to worship
the first beast (Satan) whose deadly wound was healed. Satan was wounded at the time
when Jesus ascended to heaven and was given all dominion and power, for the prophecy
specifically said that God would put enmity between Satan and the woman (Israel), and
between Satan’s seed and the seed of the woman, who would bruise the head of Satan
(Genesis 3:15).
Why do many end time bible teachers claim that Christians will not be on earth at the
time of the battle of Gog and Magog and during the reign of the false Messiah?
Part of the reason is the fact that many end time bible teachers misunderstand the passage
of Revelation 20:1-6, which states that John saw on a vision an angel coming down from
heaven with the key to the bottomless pit (the Abyss). The angel took a hold of Satan cast
him into the Abyss and bound him for 1000 years. Then John saw the souls of those who
had been beheaded (decapitated) for the witness and testimony of Jesus and for the word of
God, who had not worshipped the beast or its image nor had received their mark on their
foreheads or on their hands. These sat on thrones and judgment was committed to them and
they sat with Christ for 1000 years.
I must point out that Revelation 20, verse 4 specifically says that the believers who went to
be with Christ were beheaded or killed for the testimony of Christ. We must honestly
question our selves the following question; if these were killed for the testimony of Christ,
how could they have been gathered at the rapture? How many Christians do we know today
that are willing to give their lives for the testimony of Christ? Not many!
Again I must ask, “who was the first man beheaded for the testimony of Christ?” Of course,
John the Baptist, who has decapitated by Herod. The next Christians who died for the
testimony of Christ were the apostles of Christ. The other question is; who are those who
went with the Lord who were also given thrones and authority to judge? In Mathews 19:27-
29, Jesus specifically said to His disciples that in the regeneration, when the Son of Man sat
on the throne of His glory, the apostles who followed him would also sit on twelve thrones,
judging the twelve tribes of Israel. The regeneration refers to the time that Jesus ascended
to heaven and to His throne.
Those who were beheaded for the testimony of Christ who sat on thrones and received
authority to judge are none other than His apostles. The beast that they did not worship, nor
received its mark on their foreheads or on their hands referred to the beast known as the
Empire of Rome. Revelation chapter 13 mentions a beast that rose out of the sea having
seven heads and ten horns, which looked like a leopard, a lion, a bear and was terrible. This
vision was very much like the vision of Daniel in Daniel chapter 7: 1-7. At the time of John,
four beasts had risen over Israel since the time of Babylon. The fourth beast of Daniel 7:7
was none other than the Empire of Rome.
When was Satan Cast out from Heaven and Bound?
According to Jesus, Satan the prince of the world was cast out at the time that Jesus was
lifted up on the cross (John 12: 28-32). This is clearly explained in Revelation 12: 1-9,
where John states that He saw the vision of a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon
under her feet and on hear head a garland of 12 stars. When we read the dream of Joseph
on Genesis 37: 9-11, we quickly understand that the woman refers to the nation of Israel.
According to Revelation 12:1-9, Israel is the woman who was ready to deliver a male child
who was to rule all nations. Before the woman, stood a dragon that wanted to devour the
child as soon as the child was born. The child was born then caught up to God and to His
throne. Of course we know that this child was Jesus, who now sits in heaven at the right
hand of God His Father.
Revelation 12:7-9 clearly states that War broke out in heaven where Michael and His angels
fought Satan and his angels. Satan and his angels lost the war and no place was found in
heaven any longer for them. As a result of this Satan and his angels were cast out from
heaven to the earth.
I must explain that the word “bottomless pit” which appears in Revelation 20:3, where Satan
was cast and bound into is the Greek word “abussos,” meaning the abyss, which properly
translate to “a habitation of demons.” According to Revelation 12: 7-8, Satan was cast into
the earth. The abyss or habitation of demons is not a hole in the center of the earth, but a
spiritual dimension here on earth. This is confirmed by Paul, who states that our battle is not
against flesh and blood but against principalities, powers, rulers of darkness and spiritual
wickedness in the heavenly places (Ephesians 6:12).
In 2 Thessalonians 2:5-8 Paul confirmed that Satan was already restrained or bound. He
further stated that the man of sin (Satan) would be revealed at the time when the one who
now restrains him lets loose of him. Then Satan will be consumed and destroyed by the
breath of the mouth and the brightness of Jesus’ return (2 Thessalonians 2:5-8).
Dear friend who reads these words, we are getting close to a time of trouble that the world
has not seen since the creation of the world. I saw in a vision a horrible beast roaming the
earth, who with its tail and wings caused great trouble to the world. The beats had
something like a cage on its head that prevented the beast from swallowing its pray. The
beast was about to be released and I knew the great harm that this beast would cause not
only to Jews and Christians alike, but to all of the systems, the governments and the
religious institutions of this world even the institutionalized church that persecutes those who
speak the truth. The bible clearly says that the wrath of God is not for those who are in
Christ, but clearly states that we will be persecuted, tried and even killed for His Name
sake.
Although the word of God clearly states that God will stand and fight against the nations of
Gog and Magog, the word of God clearly shows that God will not intervene until the power of
the Holy People has been broken so that He would have rendered full judgment to those
who have been disobedient to His words (both Jews and Gentiles). Through the battle of
Gog and Magog, God will remove all the leaven from Israel and will only keep the remnant of
those who will serve Him in spirit and in truth. According to Zachariah 14:3-5, it will be after
the battle of Gog and Magog that the Lord will come and all the saints with Him.
