The Coming War

Joseph Chambers has written an excellent commentary on the coming war of Gog-MaGog (Ezekiel 38-39):

"God's Firestorm"

The entire episode around the mosque at Ground Zero or the burning of the Koran is a precursor of prophecy. The War of Gog and Magog will be driven by the false prophecies in the Koran and its dictates for the cleansing of all Jews from Jerusalem and Israel. Ezekiel gave us a powerful timeline for this war and clearly promised that the nations in this coalition will be eliminated from the earth. A firestorm – the likes of which only Sodom and Gomorrah can compare – will erase the Islamic religion from the Middle East and portions of Europe and may affect America.

Chapters thirty-six and thirty-seven of this prophetic book, which was written by Ezekiel, promised the revival of the Nation of Israel. In chapters thirty-eight and thirty-nine he revealed this war by Israel’s enemies and their effort to cleanse Jerusalem of what they view as the nasty Jews. Immediately after this picture of God’s firestorm against Israel’s enemies, the Scripture promises Israel the rebuilding of their glorious temple and an age of indescribable peace. These Scriptures are so exact that to doubt the present movement towards God’s plans requires disbelief of the Holy Bible. Ezekiel received this prophecy while in exile from Jerusalem and living on the bank of the Kebar River in Babylon.

Some writers speak of the Islamic religion as the religion of the Antichrist, but this is misguided. The Antichrist is clearly pictured in Revelation chapter seventeen as the intimate companion of the false whore church of Christianity. At no point in the twenty-two chapters of Revelation is there one bit of evidence of an Islamic religion even existing. The Islamic religion is the religion that drives the War of Gog and Magog but the apostate religion of the false church drives the Antichrist movement. The Antichrist’s passion is to unseat the God of the Bible not the god of Islam.

The nations that Ezekiel prophesied to lead this War of Gog and Magog are in perfect alignment. The two leading nations are Russia and Iran, named by Ezekiel by their original connections – Gog and Magog and Persia. If Ezekiel was alive today he could not state the facts around the coming war better. Look at this precise statement — a little research will show its perfection. “Son of man, set thy face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him.” “Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all of them with shield and helmet: Gomer, and all his bands; the house of Togarmah of the north quarters, and all his bands: and many people with thee” (Ezekiel 38:2, 5-6).

The coalition may well embrace as many as 25-30 governments and an army of incredible numbers. They all will be driven by the Islamic fury against Israel and America. There is no date set by this prophecy, but the present storm is certainly evidence of how quickly the fury can reach the necessary pitch. What is happening may cool down or it may not, but at God’s ordained hour it will explode and the world will tremble.

Such an army will gather to march that all possibilities of defense will be eliminated. Israel will clearly see her existence as beyond human hope to survive. Some believe Israel already has a plan that they understand as “Ezekiel’s Option.” Their intent is to exhaust all their military resources and to accept whatever results. When this massive army crosses the borders in Northern Israel – stretching all the way from Russia and covering the countries that border the Promise Land – it will be God’s signal to intervene. Chills of joy run up and down my very being when I consider what our Great God of the pure faith of the Bible is going to do.

Burning the Koran is barely worth mentioning. This dark religion is an affront to God and everything He loves and will defend. The firestorm will break with a fury that only faith in God and the Bible can possibly understand. God said it like this, “And I will call for a sword against him throughout all my mountains, saith the Lord GOD: every man’s sword shall be against his brother. And I will plead against him with pestilence and with blood; and I will rain upon him, and upon his bands, and upon the many people that are with him, an overflowing rain, and great hailstones, fire, and brimstone. Thus will I magnify myself, and sanctify myself; and I will be known in the eyes of many nations, and they shall know that I am the LORD” (Ezekiel 38:21-23). When God issues this call, the angels of Heaven and Earth will move into action and Israel’s defense will no longer be human.

I believe that when the War of Gog and Magog is over, there will not be any capitols in Russia, Turkey, Germany, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Ethiopia, Libya, and on and on. The city called Mecca will be non-existent and the sands of these capitols will be melted as glass. Joel spoke of the ruins that will welcome the remnant of this army as they try to go home, “But I will remove far off from you the northern army, and will drive him into a land barren and desolate, with his face toward the east sea, and his hinder part toward the utmost sea, and his stink shall come up, and his ill savour shall come up, because he hath done great things. Fear not, O land; be glad and rejoice: for the LORD will do great things.” (Joel 2:20-21).

I have no desire to burn the Koran although I understand that this book is on the same level as the Satanic Bible. The apostate church of America is full of people that are perfectly willing to call it a “Holy Book.” To do this reveals a state of mind towards the absolute Bible that borders on blasphemy. It’s dark out there and will get darker until our God says it’s enough. That could be and probably is right at the door. To all my Bible-believing friends, “Get ready, judgment is coming.”



In a related bit of news, we see the following:


"PA: Give us a State or It's War"

Senior Palestinian Authority negotiator Nabil Shaath has announced that the PA will never accept Israel as a Jewish state


Lets repeat that one more time:

Senior Palestinian Authority negotiator Nabil Shaath has announced that the PA will never accept Israel as a Jewish state


This is the group of people who are involved in the sham "peace talks". Thats right.

In addition, he threatened war if the PA fails to obtain its demands through negotiations, saying, “A Palestinian state will arise, either through negotiations or through armed resistance.”


Unfortunately, this sentiment isn't isolated to the PA:

The Arab League voted last week to support PA Chairman Abbas' refusal to recognize Israel as Jewish.

Shaath said that recognizing Israel as Jewish state would undermine the PA's demand for the “right of return,” which would grant Israeli citizenship to the millions of descendants of Arab who fled Israel during its War of Independence.


There is more to this article, but nothing needs to be added. The above quotes say it all.

i`m almost in full agreement with joseph chambers article with a few very minor xeptions. it seemed he lumped the psalm 83 nations and isa 17 (damascus) as if its part of the same battle and i`m not sure about parts of europe being involved. (tho it may be) as far as the anti-christ religion being apostate christianity...well...either that or secular humanism.

i totally agree with his assessment on islamic religion being practically destroyed tho. here is something to ponder, the false religion rules the 1st 3.5yrs and anti-christ destroys the religion (harlot) and rules the 2nd 3.5yrs. could it be that the anti-christ (and false prophet) will start out as a "professing christian"? (not a true christian)

For the first 3.5 years of the Tribulation, I believe there will be some false "world religion" thats some kind of new age hybrid thing - where one can't declare any absolutes. Christianity will be in hiding. It may even be led by the post-rapture catholic church (for the usual reasons) - Where the AC will stand on this could be interesting.
Then that gets destroyed around the time of the AOD -
I kind of doubt the AC will ever pretend to be a Christian, because of the false "hybrid" "religion" that will be in effect early in the Trib. But having said that, who knows. I just kind of doubt it. Fortunately, we'll be too busy celebrating our fate in New Jerusalem :)

truth is i doubt it too the false religion (harlot) that rule the 1st half will possibly be post-rapture church (not limited tocatholics but possibly headed by it) with apostate christianity and other religions merged into a sin infested humanistic new age body. (counterfietinf the body of christ)

Hello Scott
I posted the following comment on ‘The Christ in Prophecy’ blog by mistake. I had no idea where I had been other than it was about the Gog war. Nathan didn’t mind and left it on an article about Marxism, bless him. Thanks to DrNofog I am back on track today – age doesn’t come alone that’s for sure.

Some time ago I discovered that Allah is a desert demon god (one of many) who was worshiped with the emblem of the crescent moon. Also known as Baal; and Israel is still plagued by her old foe. The prophets of Baal could not bring down fire, but the God of Elijah, as in 1Kings 18, will again cause His fire to fall in answer to Elijah’s call and consume Israel’s ancient enemy during the coming ME wars.

Judges 8:21 Then Zebah and Zalmunna said, Rise thou, and fall upon us: for as the man is, so is his strength. And Gideon arose, and slew Zebah and Zalmunna, and took away the ORNAMENTS that were on their camels' necks.
( Isaiah3:18)

ORNAMENTS – Saharon- meaning ‘little moons, that were ornaments worn on the necks of men, women and children. (Thayers)
1) moon, crescent
a) as ornament

If my memory serves me correctly, I think that Zebah and Zalmunna were of the ‘giant’ remnant? I suspect their ‘seed’ may still exist to oppose Jehovah today?

So DrNo got you back in line huh? He's good about
that isn't he ? :)

But thats correct about the Allah-Moon god connection - its sad that most folks don't know this fact. Its just another in a long line of false gods.

I didn't know that re- Judges 8 - VERY interesting - I want to go back and study that --- nice pick up and fascinating. I would venture a guess that there is a connection there. Hmmmmmm

I was simply sharing my understanding of Allah with EI:

MoHammered [..was well hammered on hash at the time when he...] picked Allah, the moon god because the god of war is supposed to be the strongest. They lie when they say Allah means God. It's a proper name, not a title [God]. Zola Levitt had an Arab language expert on a number of yrs ago who showed the lie when they say "Allahu akbar" means "God is great". It means "Allah is greater" [implied = "than any other god" including YHVH...]

I agree Dr No - that is exactly my understanding of "allah".
