You people are so pathetic, how can you possibly read those verses from 2000 years ago and attempt to apply them to YOU , TODAY!?? You people know nothing about the history of the early church, nothing about the timeline or history of the destruction of old covenant Israel, you all are lost, keep living in fear and doing nothing because you think it's "normal" and has to happen so you can be "raptured" out of here, not realizing IT'S A LIE TO MAKE YOU PASSIVE AND DO NOTHING WHILE EVIL DESTROYS CHRISTIAN NATIONS!
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 76203286 Well, a few questions for you then:
When did the gog magog war happen? When did we SEE it happening?
You do know it takes place before the great tribulation don't you?
If not - here's why it does...
But first - what is the Gog Magog war?
Gog Magog war (Ezekiel 38) starts with God putting a hook in the enemies (Arab Nations) jaw, drawing them down to attack Israel (in the latter days).
God supernaturally destroys these invaders.
When the world witnesses this, ALL heathen, and
Israel finally recognize God.
Ezekiel 39:21 And I will set my glory among the heathen, and
all the heathen shall see my judgment that I have executed, and my hand that I have laid upon them.
After this we're told in Ezekiel 29:25 "
NOW All Israelis will return to the Land from the 4 corners of the earth."
------
So why do I say the gog magog war takes place before the great tribulation.
Because of these 5 verses:
Daniel 8:23 And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors (Isaelis) are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up (the antichrist).
Matthew 24:15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)
Matthew 24:21... For
then shall be great tribulationEzekiel 39:22 So
the house of Israel shall know that I am the Lord their God from that day and forward. After the gog magog war....
Ezekiel 39:23 ...Israel
went into captivity for their iniquity:
because they trespassed against me, therefore hid I my face from them, and gave them into the hand of their enemies: so fell they all by the sword.
-----
Translated:
The gog magog war - was so powerful a display of God's glory - the whole nation of Israel turns to God; - thus the transgressors come to full.
After this the antichrist stands up.
According to Jesus - this is when the great tribulation will start.
Next....
What happens immediately after the great tribulation?
