Gog-Magog Confab?

 Gog-Magog Confab? – Terry James - https://terryjamesprophecyline.com/2024/03/03/gog-magog-confab/ A question that is more and more asked of me these days is: “Will the Gog-Magog war take place before the Rapture?” It is, I think, a well-put question considering currentdevelopments surrounding Israel, the number one signal of where this generation stands on God’s Prophetic Timeline. We have gone over a number of times that Jerusalem and Israel are becoming something akin to the burdensome stone and cup of trembling to the world, as the Prophet Zechariahput it. That nation and people, the Jews, are becoming further alienated from many of Earth’s other nations day by day – this despite that it was the vilest anti-Semite people on the planet who attacked Israel in the worst assault on Jews since the holocaustof Hitler’s time. Supposedly, the brightest among us, intellectually –the greatest thinkers—that is, the brilliant scholars and academicians at the top universities— are inculcating their studentswith hatred for the Jewish Race. They do this under the guise of claiming that Israel is the occupier of Palestinian land. Thus they further fuel the lies that Hamas and other terrorist organizations of the Arabic-Muslim sort are righteous in their murdering,raping Jewish women, even young girls, and burning Jewish babies alive. And many of the top nations and their leaderships in the West are either agreeing with the notion of illegitimate Jewish occupation or outright agreeing with the anti-Semitesof Earth that Israel, not the terrorists, should be marginalized. These are saying Israel must be punished for declaring the intention to eradicate Hamas and other murderous such organizations no matter what it takes. This American presidential administration, thus our nation’s governmental entities, demonstrate daily that America wants Israel to stop its war on Hamas and other terrorists.Our State Department issues dictates, notes of protest, and even warnings that Israel must negotiate for a cessation of fighting. They seem almost to want to spare particularly the terrorist leaders from punishment. All the while, these same governmental sorts want the killing to continue in Ukraine while they incessantly hit up Congress to provide Ukraine with many billions of dollarsfor munitions. This they do even though there is absolutely no way Ukraine could ever defeat Russia’s massive military. A negotiated peace settlement is just not on the minds of the American military-industrial complex –as President Dwight D. Eisenhower named it based upon the evil he saw withinthat cabal. And with all this surrounding the number one signal that indicates that we are at the end of this age of Grace, another profound signal, in my view, arises to consider. Itlooks as if the current leader of the chief nation that will be involved in the Ezekiel 38-39 Gog Magog attack against Israel is up to some interesting interaction with the Jewish state’s Middle Eastern antagonists. The following news item further explains. i24 News – Russia has extended invitations to various Palestinian factions, including Hamas and Fatah, for discussions on the Israel-Hamas conflict and broader issues in theMiddle East. Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Bogdanov announced the initiative on Friday, highlighting Moscow’s desire to engage with all major players in the region amid heightened tensions. The invitation included a dozen Palestinian groups and is slated for “inter-Palestinian” talks scheduled to commence on February 29. Bogdanov, serving as President Vladimir Putin’s special envoy for the Middle East, emphasized the inclusivity of the invitation, stating, “We invited all Palestinian representatives — all political forces that have their positions in different countries, including Syria, Lebanon, and other countries in the region.” Among the invitees are Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, alongside representatives of Fatah and the broader Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO). The invitation comes at a critical juncture as the Israel-Hamas conflict continues to escalate, drawing international attention and concern. Russia’s proactive stance in conveningdiscussions reflects its growing criticism of Israel and its Western allies, underscoring Moscow’s efforts to assert its influence in the region.

It isn’t out of the realm of rational thought to wonder whether this or other such meetings might be convened, which might bring to Gog’s mind the evil thought that God will allow him to think. “Thus saith the Lord GOD; It shall also come to pass, that at the same time shall things come into thy mind, and thou shalt think an evil thought: And thou shalt say, I willgo 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, To take a spoil, and to take a prey; to turn thine hand upon the desolate places that arenow 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” (Ezekiel 38:10-12). My own much-studied view is that the Gog-Magog attack will take place sometime after the Rapture of the Church (all born-again believers in Christ for salvation). The attackwill bring the Lord’s instant Vengeance upon those attacking His Chosen people and nation. Only one-sixth of these attackers will be left when God is through with them. And I believe that Judgment will include all such anti-Semites, perhaps around the world. Suchan action by God will, I’m convinced, be catastrophic on a global scale. This means, following that catastrophic action, it will not be business as usual, as Jesus foretells about the moment He will next Intervene, as He described as recorded in Luke 17:26-30. So, the Gog-Magog attack against Israel must take place sometime following Christ’s calling the Church to Himself, I believe. Make sure you go to be with the Lord when He calls believers in the Rapture. You will be Forever Safe in His Loving Arms while God’s Righteous Judgment and Wrath fall uponthe rebels of Earth. Here again is the Way –the Only Way to go to Jesus, either through the portal of death or in the Rapture. (My phraseology of the scripture.) “That if you will confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and will believe in your heart that God has raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart man believesunto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation” (Romans 10:9-10).
