The war of Gog & Magog from the book of Ezekiel and Psalms 83. Who,   Where,  How

WHO

Ezekiel tell us the war is fought with the people of MAGOG.  Above is a map showing MAGOG, Persia (king of the east, Iran), Tubal(upper Euphrates), Meshech(the Muscovs), Gomer(the Crimea), Libya and Ethiopia and Togarmah ( a colony of Tyre, off the north African coast.)  The consolidation has begun, as Russia  annexed the Crimea to restore it to the area of Meshech.  Iran is taking over Syria, Lebanen, Iraq to restore the area of Persia, and the African nations are falling under the control if ISIS.  Interesting!

Note in Ezekiel 38:2 the “Chief Prince” – The Leader is Meshesh – Moscow and Tubal ( the upper Euphrates, Far eastern Turkey and Armenia) so look for Turkey to continue to become more and more and advisory and align with Russia.  Turkey will  most likely leave NATO. Probably over the Turks.

Out of the disaster of the Syrian war will come a coalition among these players.  We are seeing it happen before our eyes every day in the news.

They attack who?  They attack  ” Israel” in “the latter days”.  This is the HOUSE OF ISRAEL God is speaking to, Not the house of Juda, which today carries the POLITICAL NAME of Israel.  The house of Israel in the end times is the United States.  Russia and its allies will attack the United States directly, on our soil, and it’s not far off!

Where

Ezek 38:11-16
And thou shalt say, I will go up to the land of unwalled villages; I will go to them that are at rest, that dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates,

12 To take a spoil, and to take a prey; to turn thine hand upon the desolate places that are now inhabited, and upon the people that are gathered out of the nations, which have gotten cattle and goods, that dwell in the midst of the land.

13 Sheba, and Dedan, and the merchants of Tarshish, with all the young lions thereof, shall say unto thee, Art thou come to take a spoil? hast thou gathered thy company to take a prey? to carry away silver and gold, to take away cattle and goods, to take a great spoil?

14 Therefore, son of man, prophesy and say unto Gog, Thus saith the Lord God; In that day when my people of Israel dwelleth safely, shalt thou not know it?

15 And thou shalt come from thy place out of the north parts, thou, and many people with thee, all of them riding upon horses, a great company, and a mighty army:

16 And thou shalt come up against my people of Israel, as a cloud to cover the land; it shall be in the latter days, and I will bring thee against my land, that the heathen may know me, when I shall be sanctified in thee, O Gog, before their eyes.
KJV

This, I believe, is Alaska.  My guess is the attack will occur at Bethel, on the coast.( Bethel means God’s House). Where they come from the north, which is where Russia lies. What is the “Spoil”?  The return of their land, sold by the Czar, and all its oil and gold and mineral resource.  Also, the prestige of defeating “The Great Satan”.

HOW

I believe Russia will develop the ability to completely disable our internet and computer infrastructure, there by making us blind and incapable of responding to their aggression.  It will not be a nuclear attack.

GOD’S Response

Ezek 38:21-23
And I will call for a sword against him throughout all my mountains, saith the Lord God: every man’s sword shall be against his brother.

22 And I will plead against him with pestilence and with blood; and I will rain upon him, and upon his bands, and upon the many people that are with him, an overflowing rain, and great hailstones, fire, and brimstone.

23 Thus will I magnify myself, and sanctify myself; and I will be known in the eyes of many nations, and they shall know that I am the Lord.
KJV

God will destroy their attack with a great rain of hailstones, fire and brimstone.  This could be  a volcano eruption(ps 83:14).  God protects the House of Israel with His hand of Nature. Why does this happen?  So GOD my show the world HE is in control over all things.

Ps 83
Keep not thou silence, O God: hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God.

2 For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee have lifted up the head.

3 They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and consulted against thy hidden ones.

4 They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.

5 For they have consulted together with one consent: they are confederate against thee:

6 The tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites; of Moab, and the Hagarenes;

7 Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; the Philistines with the inhabitants of Tyre;

8 Assur also is joined with them: they have holpen the children of Lot. Selah.

9 Do unto them as unto the Midianites; as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the brook of Kison:

10 Which perished at Endor: they became as dung for the earth.

11 Make their nobles like Oreb, and like Zeeb: yea, all their princes as Zebah, and as Zalmunna:

12 Who said, Let us take to ourselves the houses of God in possession.

13 O my God, make them like a wheel; as the stubble before the wind.

14 As the fire burneth a wood, and as the flame setteth the mountains on fire;

15 So persecute them with thy tempest, and make them afraid with thy storm.

16 Fill their faces with shame; that they may seek thy name, O Lord.

17 Let them be confounded and troubled for ever; yea, let them be put to shame, and perish:

18 That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art the most high over all the earth.
KJV

So, as we watch current events unfold, keep in mind these events must happen to fulfill the event to come, about which GOD has forewarned us, and it will explain why the events must happen.

Rest easy, GOD is in control.
