Ezekiel 38 Commentary

Ezekiel 38 Commentary

FOJ Analysis: Could it be that the Ezekiel 38 war involving Russia and Persia (Iran) is about to happen? 

Yes; It is becoming a very real possibility and now more than ever looms as a deadly concern! 

Prophecy Scholars differ as to the timing of the Russia/Magog invasion of Israel. Some tend to prefer a pre tribulation scenario and still others specify a post Rapture and late Tribulation scenario for the Ezekiel 37 war. 

Personally; I am convinced that Ezekiel’s Russian led invasion will occur after the mid Tribulation events; as Russia and Iran will invest themselves in an all out war on Israel; after the Antichrist confirms the land covenant with Israel and her many Arab neighbors! (Dan 9:27)

Ezekiel 38:18-19 holds the key as to my reasoning for placing the timing of Russia’s invasion on Israel during the Armageddon scenario.

“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.

19 For in my jealousy and in the fire of my wrath have I spoken, Surely in that day there shall be a great shaking in the land of Israel;

Russia is aligned very closely with Iran & the other nations noted in Ezekiel’s prophecy right now! So the time is near.

Russia is also very heavily involved in Syria, wherein the city of Damascus is involved in a cataclysmic prophecy! Russia has lately taken the side of Hamas against Israel in the current Gaza war!

I am convinced that the “last phase” of the Psalms 83 type wars against Israel are being played out right now; which in all likelihood will end with Damascus being destroyed.

The ancient prophecies of Ezekiel foretell that Russia will be instrumental as an enabling agent of Iran’s covert pursuit of nuclear technology and also in its terrorist adventures against Israel! 

Ezekiel 38:7 Be thou (Russia) prepared, and prepare for thyself, thou, and all thy company (Iran, Turkey, etc.) that are assembled unto thee, and be thou a GUARD unto them.

The Solution to the Land Conflict

The Solution to the Land Conflict 

The only real Solution to the Land Conflict between Israel and the Palestinians doesn’t even involve the Land! It involves a person! 

The Solution is Jesus Christ! 

Unfortunately, Satan has blinded the eyes & minds of far too many people to the Truth about how God is using the Land for his providential purposes!

Regarding the Land; God is presently engaged in forcing the nations of this world to make their choice between the Blessings that come through honoring the covenant that God made with Israel, or to align themselves with the Antichrist and thereafter to suffer the Lord’s Vengeance for cursing the nation that He built in the Land of promise; and through which He chose to give us Jesus Christ; the only hope for Peace in the world!

Jesus accomplished Six wonderful things in his first visitation to this world. We enjoy the benefits of all of those today!

But there are still two things remaining for Jesus to employ upon his Second Coming to this world! (Vengeance & Comfort for Zion) 

Isaiah 61:1-2 The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;

2 To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the Day of Vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn; in Zion!

Yes! The “Day of the Lord’s Vengeance” is on the Lord’s agenda when he returns! It is known throughout scripture as the “Day of the Lord” or the great day of his Wrath!

Rev 6:16 And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb: For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?

After the Day of Vengeance, and the judgment of the nations, the Lord will establish his long awaited kingdom in Jerusalem! There will then be Comfort and Peace for Jerusalem when the Prince of Peace returns!

Psalms 122:6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee.
