Also the second MaGOG grandson of Noah and his descendants. Settled north of the Black Sea (Central Asia) containing many of the former southern Soviet Republics. Genesis 10:2 “The sons of Japheth: Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshek and Tiras.” (Genesis 10:2) Major players There will be many nations joining The Allies Russia. They include Turkey, Iran, Libya, Sudan and other countries of magog from Central Asia (Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Georgia, etc.). Some nations will protest.

Ezekiel tells us that Israel will be dwelling in security and peace. This will occur sometime shortly after the Rapture when the Anti-Christ will sign his peace treaty with Israel. Ezekiel 38:10-11 “This is what the Sovereign Lord says: On that day thoughts will come into your mind and you will devise an evil scheme. You will say, ‘I will invade a land of unwalled villages; I will attack a peaceful and unsuspecting people—all of them living without walls and without gates and bars.’” (Ezekiel 38:10-11) Why… will they invade?

This will cause a “power vacuum” that the Anti-Christ will use to solidify his global dominance. daniel 11:40-45 “At the time of the end the king of the South will engage him in battle, and the king of the North will storm out against him with chariots and cavalry and a great fleet of ships. He will invade many countries and sweep through them like a flood. He will also invade the Beautiful Land. Many countries will fall, but Edom, Moab and the leaders of Ammon will be delivered from his hand. daniel 11:40-45 He will extend his power over many countries; Egypt will not escape. He will gain control of the treasures of gold and silver and all the riches of Egypt, with the Libyans and Cushites in submission. But reports from the east and the north will alarm him, and he will set out in a great rage to destroy and annihilate many. He will pitch his royal tents between the seas at the beautiful holy mountain. Yet he will come to his end, and no one will help him.” (Daniel 11:40-45) Where… will they invade? The invasion will come to the mountains of Israel. Ezekiel 38:8 “After many days you will be called to arms.

Ezekiel 38:19-20 “In my zeal and fiery wrath I declare that at that time there shall be a great earthquake in the land of Israel. The fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, the beasts of the field, every creature that moves along the ground, and all the people on the face of the earth will tremble at my presence. The mountains will be overturned, the cliffs will crumble and every wall will fall to the ground.” (Ezekiel 38:19-20) what… is the final outcome? 1. God will cause a great earthquake. 2. In-fighting will break out between the various nations. Ezekiel 38:21 “I will summon a sword against Gog on all my mountains, declares the Sovereign Lord.

It will take 7 months to bury the dead. Ezekiel 39:11-12 “On that day I will give Gog a burial place in Israel, in the valley of those who travel east of the Sea. It will block the way of travelers, because Gog and all his hordes will be buried there. So it will be called the Valley of Hamon Gog. For seven months the Israelites will be burying them in order to cleanse the land. All the people of the land will bury them, and the day I display my glory will be a memorable day for them, declares the Sovereign Lord.” (Ezekiel 39:11-12) what… is the final outcome? 1. God will cause a great earthquake. 2. In fighting will break out between the various nations. 3. Disease and catastrophic judgments will be poured out from Heaven. 4. Following God’s destruction of the northern Military Coalitian, the Jews will gather and burn enemy weapons for 7 years. 5. It will take 7 months to bury the dead. 6.

Revelation 7:9-14 “After this I looked, and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and before the Lamb. They were wearing white robes and were holding palm branches in their hands. And they cried out in a loud voice: ‘Salvation belongs to our God, who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb.’ All the angels were standing around the throne and around the elders and the four living creatures. They fell down on their faces before the throne and worshiped God, saying: ‘Amen! Praise and glory and wisdom and thanks and honor and power and strength be to our God for ever and ever. Amen!’ Then one of the elders asked me, ‘These in white robes—who are they, and where did they come from?’ I answered, ‘Sir, you know.’ And he said, ‘These are they who have come out of the great tribulation; they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.’” (Revelation 7:9-14) It needs to be noted that this is only the first of two major battles during The End Times.

  • “Gog and Magog” Revelation 20:7-10; Ezekiel 38 & 39
    The Revelation of Jesus Christ “Gog and Magog” Revelation 20:7-10; Ezekiel 38 & 39 Introduction Revelation 20:1-6 presents the reality of Jesus Christ reigning over all the earth for 1000 years while Satan is locked up in the Abyss. In Revelation 20:7-10, John records the vision where Satan is released from the Abyss at the end of the Millennial Reign of Christ. Satan is then able to gather an army of rebels from all nations (“Gog and Magog”) to come against Christ in Jerusalem. This battle is referred to as the “Battle of Gog and Magog”. But there is also a battle of “Gog and Magog” mentioned in Ezekiel 38 & 39. Are these two battles the same? The Scripture makes it clear that there are two separate battles which carry the reference to “Gog and Magog”. Consideration of these battles will powerfully demonstrate that sinful men continue in their sinful rebellion against God, even after His glorious 1000-year reign of peace and prosperity. It is not surprising that God will judge those who reject His salvation through Jesus. I. The Historical Roots of Gog and Magog Gen. 10:2; Ez. 38:2,15; 39:3-9 A. Magog was a grandson of Noah (Genesis 10:2) B. The descendants of Magog settled in Europe and northern Asia (Ez. 38:2) referred to as "northern barbarians" C. The people of Magog were skilled warriors (Ezekiel 38:15; 39:3-9) II. Two Separate Battles of Gog and Magog Ez. 38 & 39; Rev. 20:7-10 A.

  • Rev 20 Classnotes 2020
    Revelation Notes 2020 - Laurelwood 85 "The Heart Response to a Perfect Earth" Revelation 20 After the tribulation on the earth and the return of the King to the earth to destroy all the kings of the earth, Jesus will set up His earthly kingdom and rule over the whole world in perfect conditions on the earth. JESUS CHRIST WILL REIGN ON THE EARTH FOR 1000 YEARS, 20:1-15 The transition between Revelation 19 and Revelation 20 is the transition to the fulfillment of the Abrahamic contract and the completion of the kingdom program of God. The kingdoms of this world become the kingdom of our Lord (Revelation 11:15), the King of Kings and Lord of lords (Revelation 19:16). He will reign for 1000 years and then comes the end, when He delivers the kingdom up to the Father (1 Corinthians 15:23-28) so that God may be all in all. Excursus 1: Review of Eschatological Frameworks Three theological grids: the postmillennial, the amillennial, and the premillennial take their names and point of departure from Revelation 20:1-8, where Christ is said to reign 1,000 years, a period which has been called the “millennium.” The word “millennium” comes from the Latin word for 1000. The Greek word for “1000” is χιλιοι chilioi, from which chiliasm is derived. For further study of these three different theological positions, see J. Dwight Pentecost, Things to Come, chapter 22 (XXII). A. Postmillennialism The postmillennial school interprets the millennium to be a period (may be a distinct 1000 year period) of great spiritual blessing fulfilling millennial promises accomplished through preaching the gospel to everyone.

  • The End Times
    The End Times Today, more than any other time in history, events are being played out on the world stage that will bring an end to our current times. These are more commonly referred to as The End Times or The Last Days. World events such as the rebirth of Israel in 1948 and the regathering of the Jewish people back into the land, conflicts and tensions in the Middle East, an increase of wickedness and evil, an increase of knowledge, nations that are blatantly anti-Israel and the instability of Russia as well as economic and technological advances that make possible events described in the Bible, that 100 years ago would have been inconceivable. These signs exhort us to be like the five wise virgins in (Matthew 25:1-13) that kept theirs lamps full and their wicks trimmed as they waited and watched for their Lords return. Jesus rebuked the Pharisees for not discerning the times (Matthew 16:1-3) and to the disciples He spoke the parable of the fig tree about discerning the times (Luke 21:29-33). Let’s take a closer look at some of the signs that point to the soon coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. We see leaps in technological advances such as nuclear missile strike capability and satellite technologies that allow us to see real time events halfway around the world which were impossible one-hundred years ago. Calls for a global economic system, a “world currency” and a one world government also demonstrate that we are closer to the end times then ever before.

  • The Sixteen Grandsons of Noah (H. Hunt with R
    The Sixteen Grandsons of Noah (H. Hunt with R. Grigg) Secular history gives much evidence to show that the survivors of Noah’s Flood were real historical figures, whose names were indelibly carved on much of the ancient world… When Noah and his family stepped out of the Ark, they were the only people on Earth. It fell to Noah’s three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth, and their wives, to repopulate the earth through the children that were born to them after the Flood. Of Noah’s grandchildren, 16 grandsons are named in Genesis chapter 10. God has left us ample evidence to confirm that these 16 grandsons of Noah really lived, that the names the Bible gives were their exact names, and that after the Babel dispersion (Genesis 11) their descendants fanned out over the earth and established the various nations of the ancient world. The first generations after the Flood lived to be very old, with some men outliving their children, grandchildren, and great- grandchildren. This set them apart. The 16 grandsons of Noah were the heads of their family clans, which became large populations in their respective areas. Several things happened: a) Various areas called themselves by the name of the man who was their common ancestor. b) They called their land, and often their major city and major river, by his name. c) Sometimes the various nations fell off into ancestor worship. When this happened, it was natural for them to name their god after the man who was ancestor of all of them, or to claim their long-living ancestor as their god.

  • Premillennialism in the New Testament: Five Biblically Doctrinal Truths
    MSJ 29/2 (Fall 2018) 177–205 PREMILLENNIALISM IN THE NEW TESTAMENT: FIVE BIBLICALLY DOCTRINAL TRUTHS Gregory H. Harris Professor of Bible Exposition The Master’s Seminary Many scholars hold that premillennial statements are found only in Revelation 20:1–10. Although these verses are extremely important in supporting the premillen- nial doctrine, many other verses throughout the New Testament also offer support for premillennialism. Our study limits itself to five biblically doctrinal premillennial truths from the New Testament that seamlessly blend throughout the Bible with the person and work—and reign—of Jesus the Messiah on earth after His Second Com- ing. * * * * * Introduction Whenever discussions between premillennialists and amillennialists occur, Revelation 19 and 20 is usually the section of Scripture on which many base their argumentation, especially Revelation 20:1–10. Before we examine these specific pas- sages, we know that God has already made several prophecies elsewhere. And how one interprets these passages has been determined long before by how those other related futuristic biblical texts have already been interpreted, before ever approaching certain crucial biblical passages such as Revelation 20:1–10. So, as we shall see, one should actually end the argumentation for this important component of eschatological theology in Revelation 19–20, not start there. In setting forth the New Testament case for premillennialism we will present the following: (1) a presentation of three of the five premillennial biblical truths

  • Gog and Magog Battle Israel
    ISRAEL IN PROPHECY LESSON 5 GOG AND MAGOG BATTLE ISRAEL The “latter days” battle against Israel described in Ezekiel is applied by dispensationalists to a coming battle against the modern nation of Israel in Palestine. The majority of popular Bible commentators try to map out this battle and even name nations that will take part in it. In this lesson you will see that this prophecy in Ezekiel chapters 36 and 37 does not apply to the modern nation of Israel at all. You will study how the book of Revelation gives us insights into how this prophecy will be applied to God’s people, spiritual Israel (the church) in the last days. You will also see a clear parallel between the events described in Ezekiel’s prophecy and John’s description of the seven last plagues in Revelation. This prophecy of Ezekiel gives you another opportunity to learn how the “Three Fold Application” applies to Old Testament prophecy. This lesson lays out how Ezekiel’s prophecy was originally given to the literal nation of Israel at the time of the Babylonian captivity, and would have met a victorious fulfillment if they had remained faithful to God and accepted their Messiah, Jesus Christ. However, because of Israel’s failure this prophecy is being fulfilled today to “spiritual Israel”, the church in a worldwide setting. The battle in Ezekiel describes Satan’s last efforts to destroy God’s remnant people. It will intensify as we near the second coming of Christ. Ezekiel’s battle will culminate and reach it’s “literal worldwide in glory” fulfillment at the end of the 1000 years as described in Revelation chapter 20.
