Ezekiel 38 - The Gog - Magog War

THE WAR OF EZEKIEL 38 IS NEAR!

The prophecies in Ezekiel 38 & 39 were written over 2,500 years ago. They detail an attempted surprise attack on the nation of Israel. As if torn from today's headlines, these passages detail who is involved, what they will do, why they will do it and how they will be defeated.

Iranian Video Declares The Return of the Madhi Is Near

"Iranian Video Declares The Return of the Madhi Is Near"

The entire Middle East is exploding.  Revolutions have swept Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, Yemen, Bahrain, Syria, Egypt and many other Arabic countries.  Radical Islam is working on restoring the "Caliphate," the uniting of all Islamic nations under one rule.  Radical Islamists believe that the current upheaval is a prophetic sign that the Caliphate and its anointed ruler is at hand.  That ruler is the long-awaited "Madhi" or 12th Imman.  The Madhi, a descendant of Mohammed, is the Islamic messiah whom Muslims believe will enable Islam to destroy Israel, the United States and conquer the world.  

The leaders of Iran believe that it is the destiny of their nation to usher in the Madhi.  They believe that his coming will be preceded by great war and bloodshed.  Their goal is not to seek peace but to foment war and conflict.  That is the reason for their mad drive to acquire nuclear weapons.  They are convinced that bloodshed and world-wide war will hasten the Madhi's arrival. To spread this insane ideology, the Iranian leaders are releasing a video entitled, "The Coming Is Near."  This video is being distributed throughout the Islamic Middle East and to Muslims around the world.  Their hope is to accelerate the conflict world-wide, which will usher in their messiah.  This is a very dangerous and deadly development!   

Yet, this is Biblical prophecy being fulfilled.  The Prophet Obadiah foretold this long ago.  He prophesied that a confederation of nations, descended from Esau, would come together in the last days and attack Israel.  These nations are the Islamic Arabic nations of the Middle East.  Like Esau, his descendants have been consumed by a perpetual hatred for the descendants of Jacob (Israel).  Throughout their history, great atrocities have been committed by them against the nation of Israel.  Their goal has been to destroy Israel and to possess her national birthright, which is the land of Israel.  The prophet Obadiah declared that God will bring the descendants of Esau into judgment for their evil.  

The restored "Caliphate," spurred on by Iran, will attack Israel in the near future.  Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Lebanon, Syria and other Arabic nations will suddenly strike Israel.  The odds will seem overwhelming in favor of these Islamic nations.  However, they have not taken into account the God of Israel!  He declared through the prophet Obadiah...

 "The house of Jacob will be a fire and the house of Joseph a flame; the house of Esau will be stubble, and they will set it on fire and consume it. There will be no survivors from the house of Esau." The LORD has spoken. (Obadiah 1:18)

The entire Caliphate will be destroyed!  Not one survivor of the Islamic Arabic nations will survive.  They will be destroyed by fire.  Israel now possesses a powerful weapon of fire called "Fuel Air Explosive" or FAE.  This weapon almost equals a nuclear blast in its destructiveness, but without the fallout. Israel will unleash her incredible arsenal on her attackers and annihilate them.  Psalms 83 and Isaiah 17 state that Syria will cease to be a nation and Damascus completely destroyed.  Ezekiel 29 and Isaiah 19 foretell the collapse and demise of Egypt as a nation.  Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and Gaza will be completely destroyed also.   


 Obadiah 1:15 says, " The Day of the Lord is near.  As you have done, it will be done unto you.  Your deeds will return upon your own head."


As a result, Israel will possess her possessions, from the Euphrates to the Nile River.  This war will be swift and decisive. This will set the stage for the next war in the Middle East, the War of Ezekiel 38 with the invasion of Russia and her allies. 

The End Times are upon us!  The Return of the True Messiah, the Son of God, IS at hand!  Are you ready to meet Him?  Even so come Lord Jesus, come quickly!

Prophesied destruction of Damascus Imminent?

Prophesied Destruction of Damascus Imminent??

Isaiah 17:1

This message came to me concerning Damascus:

“Look, the city of Damascus will disappear!

It will become a heap of ruins."

A stunning report published by Jane's Defense Weekly confirms rumors of a July explosion at a Syrian military base at al-Safir, near Aleppo, in which reportedly"dozens" of Iranian engineers were killed along with their Syrian counterparts. 

Syria had originally dismissed reports of the explosion by saying the blast was generated by the desert heat causing the accidental detonation of a stockpile of explosives.

Jane's reported that the explosion was actually triggered while the engineers were fitting a chemical warhead onto a Scud-C missile. The explosion and fire released containers of the deadly nerve agents VX and sarin gas, as well as a mustard gas blistering agent. 

Israeli Internal Security Minister Avi Dichter told reporters this week, "Iran has entered into strategic cooperation with Syria on conventional and nonconventional weapons development," adding, "The Iranians are very big in Syria."

Iran's Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is preparing Syria to cover his flank, should war break out between Israel and Iran over Tehran's nuclear arsenal. Ahmadinejad is evidently gambling on Syria taking out Israel while Iran squares off against the United States. Were Iran and Israel to face each other head-to-head, one or the other would inevitably cease to exist. Israel would have no choice but to annihilate Iran before Iran annihilated Israel.

Israel's "Samson Option" is named after the biblical judge who sacrificed himself in order to take his enemies with him. In the event of its impending destruction, Israel's retaliatory plan involves taking the Middle East along with it. 

As the Iraq experience has proved, war with the United States is survivable. The terms of Israel's "Samson Option" mean war with Israel involving first-use weapons of mass destruction is not.

To Ahmadinejad's way of thinking, if somebody has to be martyred to the Mahdi's cause, why not Syria? Twenty-five hundred odd years ago, the Hebrew prophet Isaiah prophesied of the destruction of Damascus. This prophecy is made more fascinating by the fact it remains unfulfilled in history.

Damascus is the oldest continually inhabited city on earth. Although conquered many times, its status as an economic and cultural center of antiquity preserved it intact to this day.

But Isaiah predicted Damascus would one day face utter destruction: "Behold, Damascus is about to be removed from being a city and it will become a fallen ruin," he writes in Isaiah 17:1.

The prophet also predicts Damascus' destruction will come at a time when "the glory of Jacob" had begun to fade (verse 4), at a time when Israel is in great peril of being "shaken like an olive tree," leaving only a few "on the topmost bough." 

Isaiah prophesies that, when Damascus' destruction comes, there will be "an uproar of many peoples" and "the rumbling of nations" but that they will flee at God's rebuke. 

It seems clear from recent events that Syria is preparing chemical and biological weapons, and possibly some form of nuclear weapon for use in some future war against Israel. Syria and Iran have been outfitting Hezbollah with the latest in offensive weaponry since the war of June 2006.

Israel is unlikely to sit back and wait for a first-use chemical or gas attack from Damascus. Neither is it likely to wait until Ahmadinejad can use Syria to flank them in the event of conflict with Iran. So the number of Israeli raids against Syrian targets is likely to escalate until either Israel has destroyed the threat or Syria responds militarily. If Syria attacks with weapons of mass destruction, it can expect a massive, in-kind Israeli response.

Bible prophecy doesn't make allowances for a full-scale unconventional war of annihilation of Israel by Iran, however. Ezekiel predicts Iran's participation of the Gog-Magog invasion as part of a Russian-led alliance, not a regional alliance with Syria. Both Iran and Israel are listed as participants in that future conflict. 

But Syria isn't.

Syria isn't numbered among any of the various protagonists prophesied to participate in the conflicts of the last days.

Isaiah describes the destruction of Damascus in much the same terms that would be used today to describe the effects of all-out, no-holds-barred Israeli retaliatory strike against a Syrian gas attack.

"At evening time, behold, there is terror! Before morning, they are no more" (Isaiah 17:13-14).

Assad had better reconsider his options – while he still has some.
