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.
