September 8, Ezekiel 38-39
Ezekiel continued…
Ezekiel 38-39 I have intentionally placed both chapters under the same heading, as they are a unit passage. Just a heads up - this section of Scripture is highly debated and many do not agree on its meanings… The short of it - Gog & Magog represent the physical as well as the spiritual battle that will be coming. Nations will rise up against God’s people and attack the name of Christ.
The Word of the Lord came to Ezekiel and God told him to prophecy against Gog. who was the ruler of Magog. God was clearly against them. Many believe the area of Gog & Magog to be that of modern day Russia. Or Iran. Or China. Here is the big picture: Israel is going to be attacked by the people represented physically & spiritual in the demonic name of Magog. This will be a battle of monstrous proportions. This is to occur during the Messianic age (our time). God will rescue His people through Christ and restore the fortunes of His people for His names sake.
Magog is talked about in the future prophetic book of Revalation, where John the author, speaks about the 1,000 year period in the future where the enemy (Satan) is bound and Christ and His Saints will reign on earth. When the 1,000 year reign of Christ on earth is over, Satan will be released to torment for a short while & Gog & Magog will be Satan’s tools & the area they rise from…
To sum it all up:
- You need to know today who’s team you are on. No pretending. No ‘fake it till you make it’ with Jesus. Either you are on fully on His team and engaged or you are not. Know who your God is.
