Summary: The Middle East is a potential power keg with chaos in Iran and the U S carrier fleet possibly involved. We look at the wrong teaching on the Gog/Magog war; the fate of Iran; what the carrier fleet might do; Israel’s restoration; the kings from the east; what does this mean for Christians?

THE GOG WAR AGAIN – THE UNITED STATES FLEET IN THE MIDDLE EAST – CURRENT HAPPENINGS IN IRAN

As I write this, the world is wondering about the United States fleet in the Middle East. The Abraham Lincoln carrier Group is positioning itself around Iran. No one knows the outcome of all that, not even the President who is doing the right thing in protecting the peaceful people of Iran who have suffered greatly under this most wicked Iranian regime. I don’t think even Donald Trump knows what the outcome will be.

There are certain facts we do know, future ones. Again I want to take you to Ezekiel 38 and 39, the Gog/Magog war.

I find it really disappointing that certain teachers of prophetic events still claim this Gog war can happen any time now or maybe early in the Tribulation. It is sad that some people take a position they can not justify and dig their toes in, and refuse to look at a wider picture. I find this to be the case with some of the American prophetic teachers.

I have spent a lot of time explaining why the Gog war can not happen until the eve of the Second Coming. I will mention that evidence that some simply refuse to take note of; nor can they explain their position in regard to the relevant verses.

Here are the relevant verses (note restored Israel in peace and godliness)–

{{Ezekiel 39:21-26 “I SHALL SET MY GLORY AMONG THE NATIONS and all the nations will see My judgment which I have executed, and My hand which I have laid on them, AND THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL WILL KNOW THAT I AM THE LORD their God FROM THAT DAY ONWARD. The nations will know that the house of Israel went into exile for their iniquity because they acted treacherously against Me, and I hid My face from them, so I gave them into the hand of their adversaries, and all of them fell by the sword. According to their uncleanness and according to their transgressions I dealt with them and I hid My face from them. Therefore thus says the Lord GOD, “Now I shall restore the fortunes of Jacob, and have mercy on the whole house of Israel and I shall be jealous for My holy name, and they shall forget their disgrace and all their treachery which they perpetrated against Me when THEY LIVE SECURELY ON THEIR OWN LAND WITH NO ONE TO MAKE THEM AFRAID.”}}

THE SETTING – THE SETTING – THE SETTING!!

The verse IMMEDIATELY BEFORE those verses above, speaks of the defeat of Gog and the passage tells of the beasts and birds feasting on the soldiers and invaders. (Also Revelation 19:17-18 which is Armageddon). The Ezekiel passage (chapters 38 and 38) is all one whole. Here are the three preceding verses before our above passage – {{Ezekiel 39:18-20 “You shall eat the flesh of mighty men, and drink the blood of the princes of the earth, as though they were rams, lambs, goats, and bulls, all of them fatlings of Bashan. You will eat fat until you are glutted, and drink blood until you are drunk, from My sacrifice which I have sacrificed for you, and you will be glutted at My table with horses and charioteers, with mighty men and all the men of war,” declares the Lord GOD.}}. That is Gog’s defeat BUT immediately upon that we have those great restoration verses Ezekiel 39:21-26. That is the proper setting for the Gog/Magog war.

Those who discount the Gog war on the eve of the Second Coming just disregard these restoration verses. You can not do that. Look at the strength of them – {{Ezekiel 39:22 “and the house of Israel will know that I am the LORD their God FROM THAT DAY ONWARD.”}} {{Ezekiel 39:26 “and they shall forget their disgrace and all their treachery which they perpetrated against Me when they live securely on their own land WITH NO ONE TO MAKE THEM AFRAID.”}} {{Ezekiel 39:29 “I will not hide My face from them any longer, FOR I SHALL HAVE POURED OUT MY SPIRIT ON THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL,” declares the Lord GOD.”}}

You prophecy teachers who say the war can be any time BUT not at the end of the Tribulation, do you not understand English? Do you not know the import of the words “FROM THAT DAY ONWARD” and the setting in which they lie?

When Israel is restored according to the verses Ezekiel 39:21-29, Israel WILL KNOW THE LORD. Tell me you who misplace the Gog war, is Israel going to be unafraid in the Tribulation and knowing the glory of the Lord, and filled with the Spirit of God, and the all will know the Lord, and God sets His glory among the nations - tell me, is this possible before the Second Coming? I see a big NO!
