" Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling/ burdensome stone for all people around about, when they see the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem". Zachariah 12:2
"THE GOG AND MAGOG ALIGNMENT OF THE NATIONS:
Which countries are ancient Gog and Magog? The answer is given in a variety of Old Testament passages. It is also confirmed by historians. So, let us discover the answer.
Ezekiel 38-39 describes the battle that is commonly called the battle of Gog and Magog. The question is, will the battle occur at beginning, in the middle at the great tribulation? or at the end of the great tribulation? and then at the end of Jesus Christ's millennium reign (Rev 20), the battle of Armageddon. But who are Gog and Magog? Ezekiel 38:2 and Ezekiel 39:1 reveal that Gog is the leader of a nation referred to as Magog. In Ezekiel 38:2-3, we are told that Gog is “of the land of Magog.”
Son of man, set your face toward Gog of the land of Magog, the prince of Rosh, Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him and say, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD, “Behold, I am against you, O Gog, prince of Rosh, Meshech and Tubal.” Ezekiel 38:2-3 (NASB)
That is, Gog is the leader of the land of Magog. We are also told that Gog is the “prince of Rosh, Meshech and Tubal. Once again we are told that Gog is a person. In Ezekiel 39:1-2, we discover again that Gog is a prince or a leader.
And you, son of man, prophesy against Gog and say, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD, “Behold, I am against you, O Gog, prince of Rosh, Meshech and Tubal; and I will turn you around, drive you on, take you up from the remotest parts of the north and bring you against the mountains of Israel. Ezekiel 39:1-2 (NASB)
Then God declares that He will drive Gog into the mountains of Israel. So, Gog is the leader of the land of Magog. When Gog moves against Israel, God will destroy him and his army (Daniel 11:44-45)
So, which nation or nations today occupy the ancient lands of Magog? Genesis 10:2 tells us that Magog was a son of Japheth.
The sons of Japheth were Gomer and Magog and Madai and Javan and Tubal and Meshech and Tiras. Genesis 10:2 (NASB)
The descendants of Magog were scattered away from the Tower of Babel in Genesis 11. So, where did they go? Ancient historical records reveal the descendants of Magog scattered into various regions of the world. Flavius Josephus reports the Scythians were descendants of Magog.1 The Scythians had a reputation for being anti-religion.2 That agrees with Russia’s reputation today. In addition, the church father Jerome writes,
“Scythian nations, fierce and innumerable, who live beyond the Caucasus and the lake Maeotis, and near the Caspian Sea, and spread out even onward to India.”3
Some historians indicate the descendants of Magog include the Goths.4 Bill Copper provides evidence that the descendants of Magog also include the Russians, Ukrainians, Hungarians, Finns, Siberians, Yugoslavians, Croatians, Bosnians, Serbians, Slovenians, Slovakians, Bulgarians, Poles, Czechs.5 Bodie Hodge reports that the descendants of Magog also arrived in Sweden, Finland, Germany, Ireland and Scotland.6 Additionally, the descendants of Magog intermarried with the people in Turkey.7 After intermarrying with people in Russia, they may have moved into Siberia and then North America.8 Some conjecture the Magogites intermingled with people in China.9 The picture is that the descendants of Magog spread to modern day Turkey, and ancient Scythia. They also migrated northwest into Europe, north into Russia, and eastward across Asia.
The battle of Gog and Magog is described in detail in Ezekiel 38-39. A careful comparison of Ezekiel 38-39 with Revelation 6-19 reveals that the battle occurs , but at God's appointed time the exact placement of this prophecy come to pass. Some believes it is at the end of the tribulation, others believe it is before the tribulation or during the first half of the tribulation. then after the millennial kingdom. Gog is a person, the evil entity that rises up against God's people; He shows up in the time of the tribulation and then at the end of Jesus Christ 1000 yrs reign when the devil is loosed from hell for a season to tempt all mankind on earth. This leads me to believe, this gog person is satan manifesting himself throughout history as supreme leader of the sinful rebellion that begun in heaven described in Isaiah 14 in time past. There must be A GREAT WAR AND REBELLION in the fulfillment of prophecy of gog and magog" (Neverthirsty)
What we are witnessing in the earth today is the precursors and signs of this event coming to pass. God will allow this to happen in fulfillment of His retribution and manifestation to the world and particularly to the children of Israel whom they have rejected. Matt 24 signs of the end times are raging; We must all remember to repent and believe on the Lord Jesus Christ for the saving of our souls. Yes, we are living in end times.
WHAT DOES THE WAR OF IRAN, ISRAEL, AND AMERICA MEANS?
What we are seeing in the earth with nations against nations, wars and rumors of wars, earthquakes, pestilences, divisions of countries, famine, etc... ALL THESE THINGS ARE WARNING SIGNS...that WE ARE HEADED TO THE END.
Nobody knows the exact day or hour when the rapture will take place; Nor when the TRIBULATION will start; but what we do know it is, at the appointed time, it will happen! and when it does, our prayer is we all will be on the right side of eternity. The bible says, on the day of judgement, there will be a long line headed to hell/ lake of fire; And there will another long line headed to heaven. What line we are in is determined by how we live and in whom we believe today. Choose wisely.
THERE SHALL BE WAR BEFORE THE COMING OF THE LORD JESUS!
GOD SAID, "I will also gather all nations, and bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat: Joel here describes the final gathering of the nations in rebellion against God at the battle of Armageddon (Revelation 16:12-16). There is no place in Israel known as the Valley of Jehoshaphat but the name Jehoshaphat means, “The LORD Judges.” It describes God’s place of judgment. “There is no such valley in the land of Judea; and hence the name must be symbolical. It signifies the judgment of God, or Jehovah judgeth.” (Clarke)
ii. This is a judgment of all nations. Joel was written at a time when a terrible plague of locusts brought the judgment of God upon the people of God. At a time like that, it is easy to think “God, You are dealing harshly with us, but what about the ungodly nations? We may be bad, but they are worse. Don’t you care about them?” God used Joel 3 to assure His people that the nations will be dealt with.
d. I will enter into judgment with them there on account of My people: God’s complaint against the nations is that they have mistreated His people. Primarily, this has in view the way the nations treat Israel, but also extends to how the nations treat the church. When God’s people are mistreated, God takes it personally and will avenge it.
i. In the judgment of the nations that Jesus described in Matthew 25:31-46, the criteria is not faith in Jesus Christ but how the nations have treated the people of Israel – the brethren of Jesus. Held on the earth after His return in glory, this judgment determines who is allowed to enter into the Millennial Earth, and who goes straight to judgment.
ii. They have cast lots for My people: It is bad enough for man to regard any human life as cheap; it is worse to regard the people of God as cheap. God remembers and will repay. (enduringword.org)
In other words, the mistreating of Israel , the dividing of the land, will put any nation, people, king, leader, president, and yes, America in direct" cross -hairs" of God. God will bring judgements- a direct hit- to our nation. The last time Trump signed the Abraham Accords, dividing the land with surrounding nations, God brought the judgment of covid 19; THIS TIME JUDGEMENT WILL BE GREATER because warnings have been given , scriptures have been shared, so AMERICA IS without excuse.
THE BEAST IS RISING: ANTI CHRIST SPIRIT/ THE END TIME KINGDOM & KING:
"And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition. And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.
These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.
These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.
And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues. And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire. For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled. And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth"( Rev 17:11-18)
In Revelation 13 John sees a nightmarish vision of a dragon and two beasts. The first beast comes out of the sea and receives power from the dragon, or Satan. This beast is a true monstrosity: “It had ten horns and seven heads, with ten crowns on its horns, and on each head a blasphemous name. The beast I saw resembled a leopard, but had feet like those of a bear and a mouth like that of a lion” (Revelation 13:1–2). Daniel’s vision of the beast is similar in many ways to John’s (Daniel 7:7–8, 19–27). Studying both Daniel and Revelation in tandem is profitable.
In Revelation, the term beast refers to two related entities. Sometimes “the beast” refers to the end-times’ empire. The seven heads and ten horns indicate that the beast will be a coalition of nations that rises to power to subdue the earth under Satan’s control. Later references to “the beast” in Revelation picture an individual—the man who is the political leader and head of the beastly empire.
The beast will receive a deadly wound and be healed of it (Revelation 13:3). He will exert authority over the whole world and demand worship (verses 7–8). He will wage war against God’s people, and he will prevail against them for a time (Revelation 13:7; Daniel 7:21). However, the beast’s time is short: according to Revelation 13:5 and Daniel 7:25, he will only be permitted absolute authority for forty-two months (three-and-a-half years).
We believe that the beast in Revelation is the Antichrist, the one who will “oppose and will exalt himself over everything that is called God or is worshiped, so that he sets himself up in God’s temple, proclaiming himself to be God” (2 Thessalonians 2:4). He is also called “the man of lawlessness” and “the man doomed to destruction” (2 Thessalonians 2:3). In Daniel’s vision, the Antichrist is the “little horn” that rises from the head of the terrifying beast (Daniel 7:8).
When the Lord returns in judgment, He will defeat the beast and destroy his empire (Revelation 19:19–20; cf. Daniel 7:11). The beast will be cast alive into the lake of fire. The identity of the individual who will become the beast of Revelation is not yet known. According to 2 Thessalonians 2:7, this man will be revealed only when God removes the restraining influence of the Holy Spirit/church/ born again believers from the earth.
It is interesting to compare the differing biblical visions of the kingdoms of the world. In Daniel 2, King Nebuchadnezzar dreams of the kingdoms of the world as “a large statue—an enormous, dazzling statue, awesome in appearance” (Daniel 2:31). The prophet Daniel later sees a vision of the same kingdoms, except he sees them as hideous beasts (Daniel 7). In John’s vision of the final worldly kingdom, the empire is portrayed as a grotesque and misshapen beast. These passages present two very different perspectives on the kingdoms mankind builds. Man sees his creations as imposing monuments and works of art fashioned of valuable metals. However, God’s view of the same kingdoms is that they are unnatural monsters. And the beast of Revelation will be the worst of them all. (gotquestion.org)
WHAT ARE WE SEEING IN THE EARTH?
(1 John 4:2-4), for everything evil, rebellion, apostasy, idols, sex immortality.
TODAY, ISRAEL IS AT WAR with all her surrounding neighbors; It won't get any better, but eventually there must be some type of peace deal to come forth. THE ABRAHAM ACCORDS is believed to be a possibility? If this deal is done for seven years, then everything many have been waiting will begin; You won't need anything for your journey-the rapture will happen at the appointed time -then we will be forever with our Lord and savior Jesus for all eternity. Praise the Lord!
What we are seeing in the earth is the spirit of the anti-christ, spirit of hypocrisy, spirit of deception. In Rev 16: 13-14 it says, "And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon (satan), and out of the mouth of the beast (anti-christ), and out of the mouth of the false prophet. For they are the spirits of devils working miracles/deceptions/lies, that goes forth unto the kings of the earth". The devil is the father of all lies and deception, he never tells the truth. His sole purpose to deceive, kill, and destroy all who worship and believe in God our father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Deception is in the earth today, the world is calling good evil and evil good; The deception of sexual perversion, LGBTQ movement influence is tearing down God's mandate for family and marriage.
Many will fall to the "strong delusion" that is coming, God will preserve His saints, but in the coming tribulation, so many will fall away due to the great lies of the devil.
SAINTS, BEHOLD, the alignment in the prophetic signs are pointing towards Daniel's 70th week, 7 YEARS of tribulation, called Jacob's trouble (Dan 7:15--27/ 9:23-27/Rev 3:10/Rev 12-13) the changing of the season, a time of trials and testing, but God will protect and preserve His children/saints who are saved and born again, the blood of Jesus covering them. WE HAVE SEEN GREAT CALMAITY IN THE EARTH, BUT GREATER IS COMING!
THERE'S COMING A 3RD TEMPLE: THE TEMPLE MOUNT WILL BE GROUND ZERO!
"And he (anti-christ) shall make a strong covenant with many for one week (7yrs), and for half of the week he shall put an end of sacrifice and offering. And on the wing of abomination shall come one who makes desolate, until decreed end is poured out on desolate (anti-Christ)"Dan 9:27. Bible teaches a week is considered 7 years, this one will is the final piece to the puzzle in the 70 week prophecy in Daniel. This last week of great pain and suffering on earth will be focused on the nation of Israel. It will impact the world, but God will focus His wrath on Israel for their abominations, Idol worship, and their failure to believe and accept the true messiah Jesus Christ. God will save a remnant of His people, Israel the nation will be saved, for Jesus must reign and rule on earth and in Jerusalem for a thousand years. Yes, we have so much to come in prophecy. My friends, accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and savior; You do not want to be left behind in this season.
MANY IN THE CHURCH WILL FALL AWAY TO DECEPTION, SIN, APOSTASY, FLESH FEEDING SERVICES AND MOTIVES. The great falling away described in 2 Timothy 3:1-17/ 2 Timothy 4:3-4, says, " in the coming perilous times men will do every sin under the sun, giving in to seducing spirts, turn from truth to fables and doctrines of devils"
The birth of the" Red Heifers" is one of the most significant and prerequisite of building the coming 3rd temple in Jerusalem. The bible clearly teaches that a new temple, the 3rd temple, will be built at some point in the coming tribulation period. The enemy/satan will hate those who love God, and do everything in his power to destroy them.
These prophecies are WARNING SIGNS that the second coming of Jesus Christ is approaching. The first temple was built -called Solomon's temple -was destroyed in 586 BC. The second temple (516-70ad) came after the Jews return from Babylon captivity. This temple was destroy around 70ad-all sacrifices and temple rituals stop because the church age begun and Christ fulfilled all requirements of the promised Messiah, scriptures, our atonement for sin, cleansing, and securing salvation to those who repent and believes in Him.
( Hebrews 8-10 chapters). Hebrews 9:11-15.
Scriptures clearly tells us, there's coming a day where /when a temple will be built and, in this temple, the anti-Christ/satan will set up an abomination (statue of himself) to mandate all to worship him, ( Rev 13) and those who do not will be persecuted, killed, and imprisoned. BEFORE THIS temple can be built; As TORAH teaches, as giving to Moses by God, there first MUST BE A RED HEIFER (holy cows) IN PEPERATION TO CLEAN AND PREPARE the priest, the furniture, and the place, and all the people before this third temple can stand and worship cam be administered. All the required priests and preparation are completed. All the world is waiting for is the Lord God to grant permission to move to the next phase of prophecy. It will happen, and when it does, the world will remember the church attempted to warn them and prepare them of the time coming that has never been witnessed nor experienced.
WELL , BELIEVE IT OR NOT, THE TEMPLE IS READY TO BE BUILT! EVERYTHING IS READY TO GO, and the temple institute is waiting on President -elect Donald Trump " peace covenant/ Abraham Accords to be finalize and they can start building. Many prophetic teachers believe the "TEMPLE MOUNT" area will be ground zero for the next raging wars. THERE MUST BE THE HOLY COWS-RED HEIFERS to implement the the start of the fulfillment of this prophecy. ISRAEL CURRENTLY HAVE 4 RED HEIFERS/RED COWS IN WAITING FOR THE COMING PASSOVER-APRIL 22-30, 2025? to sacrifice their first animal in over 2000yrs! Tell me we are not living in prophetic times??! (2 Thess 2:3-4)... We are at the door, are you ready to meet the king Jesus Christ, the Son of God?
Isaiah the prophet, John the Apostle, and Daniel all saw the same thing- satan's RISE, his KINGDOM, his WAR, AND ultimately his FALL! Though their revelation was hundreds/thousands of years apart, GOD/Jesus reveal this truth to His servants/ prophets. WHY? Was it because it wasn't true? Was it because it was not needed? Or was it because God wanted to reveal His truth, to give mankind warnings, and tell us, " There's more to this life then what meets the natural eyes!" We are in a spiritual warfare for our souls. Our eternal destiny is hanging in the balance, we can live eternity in heaven with Jesus Christ the Son of God, or with satan/ lucifer in hell, in the lake of fire-for all eternity. the choice is ours. The scriptures/ Bible shall be fulfilled,, every word and every promise.
Everything we are witnessing is the world are the "beginning of Sorrows" as Jesus said in Matt 24. These are the signs of the coming tribulation, Jacob's Trouble/Israel, and the beast from the bottomless pit, satan, anti -christ, false prophet, and the demonic kingdom is rising-. we need to be ready...Jesus is coming again.
The Eternal Father God, and Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, is called King of kings and Lord of lords. The bible says, at the name of Jesus every knee shall bow, and every tongue shall confess, that Jesus is Lord to the glory of the father. What we are experiencing are called the "birth pangs" as a woman beginning to give birth to a child. God is sounding the alarm, blowing the trumpet, giving us signs to wake us up; He is coming again. Repent and confess that Jesus is the Son of God and be saved from the wrath to come. Please read : John 3, Roman 10:9, Romans 5
These scriptures provides us with insight that there will be WAR AMONG THE NATIONS, blood shed, and conflicts led by an anti-god, false god like , empowered by satan-called the anti-christ, lawless one, and the beast in Rev 12-13. UKRAINE- RUSSIA, TURKEY, CHINA- ISRAEL-PALESTINIANS, IRAN, ISLAMIC CONFEDERATION NATIONS, will all engage in the conflict of wars. There must be war, before there can be peace. God is going to allow this because, they will come against ISRAEL, but God will bear witness of His power by protecting and delivering ISRAEL. The HOOK in gog's mouth that brings him down against ISRAEL, is God's plan not mans.(Ezekiel 38-39). THIS IS WHERE WE SEEM TO BE ON PROPHETIC TIMELINE. The war in UKRAINE/Israel is just the beginning, God has to fulfil His word...There will be war, Pestilence, Famine, death, and great distress before the coming of our Lord and savior Jesus Christ.
ALWAYS REMEMBER...
"No man knows the day nor the hour when these things will happen, but Jesus said when you "see" these things, signs of wars and rumor of wars, apostasy in the churches, departing from the truth of Jesus Christ, hearts becoming cold, many calling evil good, and good evil, earthquakes, fires, failing of governments, divisions among families and societies, Jesus said, "When you "see" these things, know that my return is near, the rapture of His church will happen soon, be ready my friends...Jesus is coming...the last days is upon us! Are you born again? Have repented of your sins, and believed in your heart and confess with your mouth Jesus is the Son of God? Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the Life; no man can come to the father or have everlasting life but through me".
My friends, repent and believe in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior and you shall be saved.... We are living in the last days. Be ready. Jesus said unto Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews, "Verily, verily, I say unto thee, unless a man is born again (saved), he cannot see the kingdom of God". (John 3:16/ Romans 10;9-10/ 1 Cor 15:1-4/ )

Adam & Eve's disobedience by eating the forbidden fruit caused sin to be inherited into all mankind. So, after sin was birthed by their disobedience, sin was passed down to all men, as well as death. (Romans 5:12) So by this disobedience, it birthed what God calls sin, which led us all to death, and ultimately leading many to judgment and condemnation of an eternal hell. In the court room of God, we are guilty and destined for a devil's hell. It's by the blood of His only son Jesus Christ atonement that, covers repentant sinners, that will satisfy God's righteous judgment for sin. Any man or woman who stands before God as a sinner, must be damn to a devil's Hell, separated from God for all eternality. This is why Jesus Christ salvation is so important to this lost and dying world. He died, but was resurrected three days later in victory. His victory over satan, sin, death, and the grave, provided us with the only opportunity to be saved from the wrath and penalty of sin. We all can have eternal life with God, we can all be saved by blood of Jesus Christ. All we have to do is repent, and believe the good news; Jesus, the Son of God, is able save us abundantly! Romans 5:19-21, John 3:16, Romans 6:23. Call on Jesus now, and thou shall be saved, "For with the heart man believes, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation"
Abba father, The eternal God, loves us so much, He sent his only Son-Jesus Christ to save everyone. Jesus said " I am the way, the truth, and the life, no man comes to the father but by me". See the only way to be saved, is to accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. Jesus, sacrificed His life on the cross of a tree, His shed blood was placed on the mercy seat in heaven, so we can come before God and say we are sinners, we repented, and believe in Jesus Christ as the Son of God. Jesus shed blood cries "mercy" upon us and for us. The blood of Christ covers the multitude of our sins,. There is no sin God can not forgive. Repent, turn from your sins, and believe in Jesus Christ, and you shall be save. Hebrews 9:12, Matt 27:27-44, Mark 15:16-32, Luke 23
Matt 24:32, " Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and put forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh (near). Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till these things be fulfilled". First we must understand Israel is identified as the "fig tree" in Joel 2:22, Luke 13:6-9. In 70 AD, Israel's temple and nation was destroy by Titus from Roman, and took the Jewish people into captivity.. From 70 AD till 1948, there was not "an nation" or "state" called Israel. Israel's people wonder throughout the world for over 2000 years without a nation. In 1948, according God's promised in Isaiah 66:8 ,Israel would be reborn, and Israel fulfilled his prophesy "a nation will be born in one day" in May 14,1948. The prophet Isaiah said, "Who has heard such a thing? Who has seen such things? Shall the earth be made to give birth in one day? or shall a nation be born at once? For as soon as Zion was in labor, she gave birth to her children". In 1948, God kept His promise, Israel was re- born in one day. Since 1948 till today, it's been 73 years, Israel has continued to blossom, grow, and be restored in her own country. God has blessed them and placed His name in Jerusalem forever, and they are called " the apple of His eye". All prophesy, from Dan 9:24-27, Psalms 83, Revelation, Joel, the prophets, and one-third of the entire bible is dealing with prophesy, the return of Jesus, His kingdom, and God's plan of salvation /restoration for mankind. But the truth of it all is that it all begun, centers, and ends in Israel-Jerusalem. Israel is God's time piece for all prophesy, end times truths, Jesus is coming again, Are you saved? Are you ready? Are you born again?.
