Chapters 38 and 39 will take us through the time of the final battles of this earth age, and on into the Millennium age temple. These chapters will pinpoint the nations and the peoples that will take part in the final two battles, and the locations that these battles will be fought. It will describe both the battle of Hamon Gog, and the battle of Armageddon. We will see that these two battles will be fought at the same time, in different locations.
We will document that the battle of Hamon Gog will be a conflict between the United States, and Russia with her allied nations. We will see what God’s Word says about out come of the battle, and you may not believe it now, however, keep God’s Word in mind as we observe the current events leading us and the world towards the end of this earth age.
What might seem strange and impossible, is possible, as current events will draw the entire Russian Army, along with many other nations, north to a valley in Alaska. This valley will not be inhabited, and at the end of the battle, not one of God’s people will be harmed by that battle. Not one city will be harmed, and Russia will be stopped at our border, and at God’s appointed time it will all come to pass.
If you think the conflict is over between Russia and the United States, and that Communism is dead, my friend, it is time to wake up. Though the polarity seems to be moving away from Communism, and to a God fearing, free nation; God’s Word warns us differently. This illusion peddled by the “one worldism” order, that peace and prosperity is to make all men and women of the earth equal and joint citizens, is a fantasy. This is not what God’s Word teaches, and His Word always comes to pass. There is only one time that it will happen, and then it will be for only a short season; because it will be the time that the Antichrist will be on earth, and ruling.
As we watch the the daily news, it seems that all that is reported is this false sense of peace. As treaties are sign and covenants and agreements are reached, mankind simply cannot be truthful with one another, and violations come. Even within our own government, there is a large scale sell-out by our government, as the political leaders of our land daily sell the people’s freedoms away for their bowls of mush. There are violations between “We the People”, and the “Constitution of the United States” continually by all branches of our government, and this will continue to expand until we have lost our sovereignty. This will happen because God’s Word says it will, and the American people will allow it.
God’s Word, our Bible, is the only written word that has, and will stand the test of time for truth, so as we hear all these vain, void words about peace coming forth, don’t believe them. There will not be one nation that will disarm, nor keep any of it’s treaties. This is because God’s Word declares it. Though Russia says they will disarm, and never attack us, they lie. I can say this only because God’s Word declares it.
The Christians in the United States have watched our democracy, and our Republic change it’s whole nature. Today God fearing citizens have sat back and allowed Communism to stream into every fabric of our homes, schools, churches, and especially all parts of our government. The most ungodly men of our nation are voted into office, and then from the highest political positions of the land, allow all forms of filth, sodomy, and perversion to strangle our nation. Today, a man with the morals of a goat, and the pride of Satan himself, is allowing our nation to move farther left, then Russia itself. The Christian people of America have gone to sleep spiritually.
Do you think the average person has a chance of knowing the truth, and being judged by it? I think not. The child born into this world today, has his entire world turned up-side-down, with strange words like peace, love, humanism, truth, and so on; all saying one thing and meaning the opposite. My friend, don’t go to sleep yet for it is not all over. This battle between the United States and Russia will take place. Though you think there is nothing you can do; there is. You can prepare yourself with the Word of God to know the truth. Don’t be deceived by all the false prophets, for all prophecies will be fulfilled exactly as God has revealed it.
Ezekiel 38:1 “And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,”
God is letting us know that this prophecy is directly from Him.
Ezekiel 38:2 “Son of man, set thy face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him”
We are directed to set our face, or minds and attitudes against “Gog, Magog and Tubal”. These people are the Russian people; however, it seems today that it is popular to buy, sell and trade with the very people God has warned us against. The “Land of Magog” in the Hebrew manuscript, is “Rosh”, which is the “Chief Prince. It is from the Hebrew “Rosh” that we derive “Russia” in the English; that we see in Smith’s Bible dictionary, and also Strong’s Hebrew dictionary, #7218.
In Genesis 4:22; “And Zillah, she also bare Tubal-cain, and instructor of every artificer in brass and iron: and the sister of Tubal-cain was Naamah.” The people of Tubal are the offspring of Cain, which the Bible calls “Kenites”. Tubal is the physical offspring of Satan through the sexual union between Eve and Satan in the Garden of Eden. This is also the race of people that is in control of the United Nations, and is moving the nations of the world under their One World System. The “Kenites” are a hidden people, for they conduct all of their activity is secrecy and deception. Their treaties are broken, because the intent of their agreements are to fulfill their agenda of world domination.
Ezekiel 38:3 “And say, Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal:
Not only does God tell us to set our minds [face] against Russia, and the Kenites, but He says; “I am against thee”. We know that there are thousands of people being saved in Russia today, as God is drawing out His own before the Antichrist arrives on earth, however, it is the system that God is against. That Godless system of Communism is not dead, and the only reason it seems dead, is the fact that the rest of the world has swung so far to the left. The two systems appear to be similar and equal. Their system is the same system that killed millions of Christians in their takeover in 1917 and later to current times.
Ezekiel 38:4 “And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws, and I will bring thee forth, and all thime army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armour, even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords:”
There will be no army that fights and defeats them, but our Heavenly Father said; “I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws…” It is God that will round up their army, and lead them right into their utter defeat. Now let’s look at the nations that will side with Russia in this army of the latter days.
Ezekiel 38:5 “Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all of them with shield and helmet;”
Ezekiel 38:6 “Gomer, and all his bands; the house of Togarmah of the north quarters, and all his bands; and many people with thee.”
This is a new forming of friendships between old Communistic neighboring nations. This also draws up the sides of the battle of the “end times”. We know there will be no army to go against them on the face of the earth. The Kenites at the control of the United Nations, and also our nation, will have disarmed us and dismantled our armed forces into a small police force. This is being done in massive scale today, as the Kenites are preparing, America and the rest of the Christian World, for for the acceptance of their father Satan, the Antichrist.
After we have disarmed ourselves for the preparation of the “New World Order”, the entire world will be asleep in a false sense of security, and no nation will be in a position to block this massive army that the Russian and their allies have built. The Kenites are involved through their control of the world wide system, and it’s agencies.
God will allow the Christians to sleep, and be deceived into believing all of the “Kenites” [Tubal’s] lies and deceptions.
Ezekiel 38:7 “Be thou prepared, and prepare for thyself, thou, and thy company that are assembled unto thee, and be thou a guard unto them.”
This is a message from God to Russia and all the nations and peoples that support her. “Be thou prepared”, get ready, for it is God that will teach them a lesson that will never be forgotten.
Ezekiel 38:8 “After many days thou shalt be visited: in the latter years thou shalt come into the land that is brought back from the sword, and is gathered out of many people, against the mountains of Israel, which have been always waste: but it is brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell safely all of them.”
the United States paid seven million dollars for the land that these mighty armies of Russia and her allies will be killed. I’m talking about Seward’s Folly, and the purchase of Alaska for the United States. We are the House of Israel mentioned here, and the “mountains” are the nations and peoples of today which are the offspring from that old “House of Israel”. We are referring to the Christian nations of today.
Ezekiel 38:9 “Thou shalt ascend and come like a storm, thou shalt be like a cloud to cover the land, thou, and all thy bands, and many people with thee.”
This force will be so big and massive in force, that no earthly force anywhere could offer any resistance to it; for America, England and all Christians will have followed the Kenites instructions to disarm.
Ezekiel 38:10 “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:”
Ezekiel 38:11 “And thou shalt say, I will go 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,”
Where ever you tour in the world you will find the walls of the olden times. In fact even today the borders between most nations are very closely guarded. However, amongst the Christian nations of Western Europe and the Americas, the people dwell in safety, and enjoy the free flow of traffic and trade. This is a period of one worldism, and America is becoming totally unprepared for what is about to happen. However the elect of God will be prepared, for that knowledge will be sealed in their minds.
Ezekiel 38:12 “To take a spoil, and to take a prey; to turn thine hand upon the desolate places that are now 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.”
This verse is directed only to America, and it could not be any part of that tiny nation of Israel, in the Middle East. That nation of Arab, Jew and Kenites. America’s prosperity is not an accident, it is a blessing of God to His people. It is the fulfillment of His promises to father Abraham over 4000 years ago. Russia is planning to steal the land that God gave His people.
Ezekiel 38:13 “Sheba, and Dedan, and the merchants of Tarshish, with all the young lions thereof, shall say unto thee, Art thou come to take a spoil? hast thou gathered thy company to take a prey? to carry away silver and gold, to take away cattle and goods, to take a great spoil?”
These “merchants of Tarshish” are the Kenites. They buy low and sell high, for they are the young ruthless lions. They follow all wars and battles, to profit from the spoils of them. These offspring of Satan deal with anyone, and it is they that are compromising with the Communistic world to divide up the properties that God has bless us with. The Kenites are assuming that Russia can be trusted, and that she will win. They are playing both sides of the fence.
Ezekiel 38:14 “Therefore, son of man, prophesy and say unto Gog, Thus saith the Lord God; In that day when My People of Israel dwelleth safely, shalt thou not know it?”
This is not Judah that God is referring to; that small nation in the Middle East bound up in strife and confusion. The true “Israel is now dwelling safely in their streets of the United States, England, Canada, and everywhere those Christian nations exist in these end times. While the United States lives in peace, the Jews strive for peace under the protective shield of the United States. It is the Christian nations that is being referred to here.
Ezekiel 38:15 “And thou shalt come from thy place out of the north parts, thou, and many people with thee, all of them riding upon horses, and great company, and a mighty army.”
“Thou” in this verse, is Russia. It is Russia that will come against “Israel” [the U.S.A., England and all Christian nations], for all of these Christian nations are trying to seek peace, and by it, they have compromised their security. They seek it through agreements, and trade and tariff treaties, which have no possibility of working, for they are created in lies and deception in secrecy. While we disarm, Russia and her allies are arming.
Yet in our blind faith, and with our foolish leaders, we continue to flaunt our strengths, destroy our treasures, and burn our arms. This foolishness was foretold some 2600 years ago by Ezekiel, as well as Joel, Jesus, and also in many other places in our Bible. We seem to be no smarter then our forefathers were at Sinai, when Aaron made the Golden calf, or in the House of Israel, following Solomon’s death; when Jeroboam made the two golden calves to worship “Balos”.
This attack upon us by Russia will be form the extreme Northern parts. It will not only be Russia, but a “company” of many nations with her. Though we believe many of the eastern block of nations favor binding ties with the Western world, “Gomer and her hoard” will not. Nor will Iran, and the Eastern Moslem nations; nor will much of northern Africa, and I also feel that many of the oriental nations.
Though English and other Christian nations have ruled the high seas and fed the world for centuries; many nations on the receiving end are envious and jealous of the blessings and prosperity God has given to us.
Ezekiel 38:16 “And thou shalt come up against My People of Israel, as a cloud to cover the land; it shall be in the latter days, and I will bring thee against My land,”
When this enormous army of Russia and her allies attack “Israel” [America] from the north, God will utterly destroy them. That is right; it will not be by the U.S., the United Nations forces, or any other earthly army. The entire free world, will be under the siege of one worldism, with all the deceptions it presents, and in weakened state of mind. They will actually believe that Russia, [Edom, Esau, Rosh or any other name they go by] will not harm us, and believe their lies.
Why should a loving God allow those untold millions of armed forces, men and women, be killed instantly? God said, that the heathen [nations] will know me when I shall be sanctified in thee. “Sanctified” means to be made known. The mountains of dead Russian [Gog] soldiers, sailors, and airmen, with all their dead comrades with them, will surely allow the world to see that God keeps His prophetic Word.
Look around us friend, the Jews have returned back to their homeland, and the false peace is now here. The United Nations has established it’s world governing body; and in fact the United States forces have fought in six major conflicts carrying the political beast’s flag. Do you think we can confront the Russian army in the future, when we simply cannot keep the peace in the back woods of Somalia. The world will see that God is in control when He destroys the Russian army.
Ezekiel 38:17 “Thus saith the Lord God; Art thou he of whom I have spoken in old time by My servents the prophets of Israel, which prophesied in those days many years that I would bring thee against them?”
There is nothing new about what God will do with Russia [Esau]. Before Jacob and esau were even born, God revealed His plan to their mother, Rebekah. Read Genesis 25:21-34 and you will see how God hated Esau from before He was even born. God hated Esau from the time of the first earth age. God told Rebekah that ” two nations are in thy womb, and two manner of people shall be separated from thy bowels.” [verse 25:23]
The Russians are the offspring of the children of Esau; while the children of Jacob are the offspring of the tribes of Israel, both the true house of Judah, and the Christian nations of today.
Ezekiel 38:18 “And it shall come to pass at the same time when Gog shall come against the land of Israel, saith the Lord God, that My fury shall come up in My face.”
When Gog [Russia] comes against the United States, it will not be the forces of any nation that stops her, but all the world will see, and know that their salvation is from God.
Ezekiel 38:19 “For in My jealousy and in fire of My wrath have I spoken, Surely in that day there shall be a great shaking in the land of Israel;”
In Deuteronomy 32, and Revelation 15, we read of God’s extreme jealousy for His children. It is important to know this, for it gives us peace of mind in these end times. We will sing the “song of Moses”, in the Millennium age, over the victory that God has given us. God says in Romans 12:19; “Vengeance is mine, I will repay saith the Lord.” God also records this response in Deuteronomy 32:25, Proverbs 24:29, and Hebrews 10:30.
Ezekiel 38:20 “So that the fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the heaven, and the beasts of the field, and all creeping things that creep upon the face of the earth, shall shake at My presence, and the mountains shall be thrown down, and the steep places shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground.”
This is the sounding of the seventh trumpet, and the return of our Lord Jesus Christ. The time of Satan’s deceptive tribulation is over, that time of the false peace, when all the world will live in their dream world. This time of deception is where the whole world destroys their weapons, and the Russians are allowed to keep their. At this time every man and women on the face of the earth will know who Jesus Christ is, and bow their knee to Him, or they just will not exist on earth. Their will be no doubts, or handicaps to hinder anyone’s understanding, for all mankind will be changed in the wink of an eye, into their incorruptible bodies.
The world will have a new King, and that King will be our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Friend, forget about the environment, for when these event conclude, we will be in a new age. The new age is called the Millennium, and it is the time of Jesus Christ’s kingdom here on earth; not on some far away star system. When this final battle takes place, it will be over in a matter of minutes or hours, and not days. There will be no nations, or boundaries, no walls, or even fish, animals and birds that will escape God’s wrath, as He pours it out upon the earth.
This is also the time of the Battle of “Armageddon”, and God will show His fury, to set an example to all the heathen nations of the world. This wrath is to show the heathen forever, that He meant it when He told the heathen nations, “touch not mine anointed”. God will also show them that they can be part of God’s anointed.
There are three world ages that the Bible talks about. The time that was; the time that is; and a time that will be, is the reason the we must open our eyes to see beyond this current flesh age. Life really begins in the eternity, in the Millennium age, where that thousand years f teaching and discipline begins. So all may come to know our Heavenly Father.
The death of the flesh is not the death of the soul, but is the beginning of life in the span of time called the eternity, which has no end. How you conduct your flesh life will make a difference on your soul’s position in that next eternal earth age.
Ezekiel 38:21 “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.”
“Every man’s sword against his brother”, is in reference to “Jacob and Esau”, the twins. These two brothers are now nations. When God said He “hated Esau from his mother’s womb”, God is not showing hatred for a little pink baby fetus, but what He would become; Godless, unreceptive, and holding nothing dear, which our Heavenly Father has ordained.
This sword against Russia is God’s Word. Jesus said that His “tongue” is a two edged sword [Revelation 1:16]. We are not talking about weapons here, but words and threats between these two brothers [nations], Jacob and Esau. God’s truth cuts two ways.
Ezekiel 38:22 “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, and overflowing rain, and great hailstones, fire, and brimstone.”
When the Russian forces, with all their allies move against America, it will be through Alaska. Then God will destroy them there. God tells us here how He will do it; floods, hailstones, earthquakes, fire and brimstone [such a meteor, or volcanic eruption], however it will be as God sees fit. These hailstones will be “one talent” in size, or about 150 to 180 pounds each. That force is enough to crush any man-made object. God will not use atomic weapons.
Ezekiel 38:23 “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.”
God’s wrath will cover every corner of the earth, and the destruction that occurs at this time is done so that our Lord God will be magnified. God says; “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.”
Though all this destruction happens, and the entire earth is shaken, not one of God’s children [those saved, and not yielding to the Antichrist during Satan’s reign upon the earth], will be harmed.
“Final Battle.”

Ezekiel 39 reveals in detail how this battle shall be fought, and what shall transpire in the end. We saw in Ezekiel 38:2 that the “Chief prince” [Rosh] in the Hebrew text was the Russia of today, for Rosh, Esau, and Edom all have the same meaning, “red”. These people of Russia are the descendants of Esau.
The two prime nations of this end time battle to take place, are the United States, and other Christian nations [Jacob], and Russia, and her allies [Esau]. This chapter is quite descriptive of the real conflict that will come, upon the earth shortly, as we are seeing our Republic being eroded away, into a One world system. We have seen our democracy move so far to the left that we are blending with the socialistic form of government, and they both seem common place.
Today our Republic doesn’t start to resemble the democracy of our forefathers, and the government is taking over the responsibilities that were that of the parents and local authorities. This transfer of responsibility is removing God from the schools, home, work place, and even most churches.
This one world system is changing the mind of Christian America [Manasseh-Israel, of Genesis 48] and has moved so far left that there is little difference between the goals of the United States, and Russia. In fact today the difference between the two nations is not discussed in terms of our relationship to our Heavenly Father, but in terms of the “market economy” [money].
The Christian world today has become care free, infiltrated, and money oriented , and as such, has gone to sleep in their attitudes towards God’s Word. False traditions, and the release of control to taxing agencies, have allowed the doctrines and attitudes to change, whereby most churches today allow things that God’s Word teaches against, become acceptable in many denominations. Much of this change is influenced by the Kenite controlled, “World council of Churches”, and agency under the United Nations.
It is in this frame of mind that we must observe this thirty ninth chapter. As we consider these conflicts, keep in mind that God will take care of His elect regardless where they are; in the heart of America, in Russia, Africa, or the Middle East. God loves His children.
Ezekiel 39:1 “Therefore, thou son of man, prophesy against Gog, and say, Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal:”
This prophecy is not directed towards America, or the Christian people; but it is aimed against “Gog” [Russia], and “Tubal-cain” [the Kenites]. The Kenites are the physical offspring of Cain, the child of the sexual union between Satan and Eve in the garden of Eden. This is what the parable of the fig tree is all about, that Jesus told His followers to learn. For if you know who they are, and they operate, you will not allow yourself to be deceived and robbed by them.
Ezekiel 39:2 “And I will turn thee back, and leave but the sixth part of thee, and will cause thee to come up from the north parts, and will bring thee upon the mountains of Israel:”
God is saying, “I will turn thee back”; I will put a stop to your activities, and destroy you. Where do we look for this to happen? We must look to the north. The “Mountains” of Israel are the Nations of Israel; both in America, and the Christian nations of Europe. These are the offspring of the ten tribed ‘House of Israel. How could we be attacked in America, and in the northern parts? Remember from school history of the purchase of Alaska from Russia, called “Seward folly” When Seward purchased the entire state of Alaska for seven million dollars. Today the average office building costs more that that; the construction of one bridge, and the cost of one mile of railroad track all exceed that amount.
Seven in Biblical numerics means spiritual completeness. Now we will see where God will perform His final battle,
Ezekiel 39:3 “And I will smite thy bow out of thy left hand, and will cause thine arrows to fall out of thy right hand.”
God will disarm Russia and her hoards of allies, and her weapons will fall in the mud and snow. Though the destruction comes in the state of Alaska, God will protect His own. Remember back when President Bush was going to meet with the Russians at Malta, for the summit? Remember how the storms came, and the summit was spoiled because President Bush could not even get ashore, and thus the treaties were stalled. This storm was out of season, and God was speaking, However, the world leaders were not listening.
As the labor pains of the signs of the end times grow closer together, The Christian world just seems to sleep on. This is sort of like the humor the world must have seen in Noah’s day; when that old man took one hundred twenty years to build a huge ship to prepare for a flood, when the world had never seen rain to that day.
All signs are here that we are about to be ushered into a new age, as recorded in the Scriptures, yet most Christians choose to remain “Sottish” [stupid]. It is like the entire Christian world is nothing more then bottle sucking religious babies, taught by “one verse pastors” all running in tiny circles. It is time to wake up.
If the United States, or the NATO forces defeated Russian forces and her allies, then the world would say.” We are the most powerful force in the world.” However, God wants this battle so decisive that there can be no doubt the it is He, and not man’s forces. The demonstration of the victory will be so complete that every knee will bow to Jesus Christ as He comes on that day, to establish His kingdom.
Ezekiel 39:4 “Thou shalt fall upon the mountains of Israel, thou, and all thy bands, and the people that is with thee: I will give thee unto the ravenous birds of every sort, and to the beasts of the field to be devoured.”
To find out who these Russian bands are, go back to Ezekiel 38:5, 6. These Russian allies are Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya, along with Gomer and the house of Togarmah. They also represent China and parts of Eastern Europe, and then some. This is the time of the cleansing of all flesh.
Ezekiel 39:5 “Thou shalt fall upon the open field: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord God.”
This “open field” refers to the fact that not one of our people will be harmed. The fall of Russia, and her hoards will be monumental in loss to the communist world, yet the loss to the Christian nations of Israel will not be. That is God’s promise.
Ezekiel 39:6 “And I will send a fire on Magog, and among them that dwell carelessly in the isles: and they shall know that I am the Lord.”
Russia [Magog] may cross the isles, but there they will be stopped. When they are stopped there will be no doubt that it was God who defended His people. By this protection, every knee on the face of this earth will bow to our Lord, and know that He is God.
Ezekiel 39:7 “So will I make My holy mane known in the midst of My People Israel; and I will not let them pollute My holy name any more: and the heathen shall know that I am the Lord, the Holy One in Israel.”
This will be at the last trumpet, when Russia is destroyed, and God is using this to show He keeps His word. America and the rest of the Christian world, do not deserve this love and protection, because most all have fallen in worship to the Antichrist. they have chased after his lies and deception, and could not even tell the difference between the true and the fake Christ. They were so tied up with their rapture doctrine, that at the first man that offered one world peace, they thought he was the Christ.
God will make it known that this was done for His own Name’s sake, and for the elect’s sake that knew the truth of God’s holy Word. There will be no more false preachers on this day, for they, as well as the Antichrist will be gone.
Ezekiel 39:8 “Behold, it is come, and it is done, saith the Lord God; this is the day whereof I have spoken.”
“Behold, it is come,” God is telling us to wake up and listen, for the day of the Lord has come. On the “Lord’s day” , that last day of this earth age where man is living in their flesh bodies, all the prophecies of both the Old and New Testament warning mankind of Christ’s second coming will take place on this day. If anyone comes to you, and claims to be the Messiah, Jesus Christ, and your still in your flesh body; they are a liar, don’t believe them.
On that day also, all prophecy dealing with the Russians will be over also. Friend when you see this occur it will be to late for you, for before you have time to think, at the wink of an eye, you will be out of your flesh body, and living in the Kingdom of our Lord Jesus Christ. You will live in your incorruptible [soul] body for the next thousand years.
The teaching will now shift from conflict, to rebuilding and clean-up. Christ will be here on earth and His temple is about to be rebuilt. Because of all the false prophets, very few will know the truth, and most will be taught to know the truth, and disciplined for a thousand years, prior to the next testing. There is no second chance, for most Christians will have never heard the truth of God’s love and mercy, and that is what the Millennium age is all about.
II Peter 3:9 “The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some men count slackness, but is longsuffering to usward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.” Though God wills your love, obedience and worship, many willingly ignore God’s call to repentance. It is your choice.
Ezekiel 39:9 And they that dwell in the cities of Israel shall go forth, and shall set on fire and burn the weapons, both the shields and the bucklers, the bows and the arrows, and the handstaves, and the spears, and they shall burn them with fire seven years:”
Were it reads; “and they shall burn them with fire seven years.”; in the text it should read; “and they shall burn them for seven times”. This is in reference to the seventh dispensation. That dispensation is the Millennium age, and at that time all things of war, and those things that offend will be covered over by the our Lord Jesus Christ, and His followers.
They come out of their cities, because the cities were left untouched by Russian forces, or any of the Antichrist’s rule, which is ended and over forever. All people are now in Jesus Christ’s kingdom, in the Millennium age. This age is over, and Satan and all false prophets are gone.
The apostle Paul in I Corinthians 15:50; “Now this I say, Brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.” The subject of this verse is your human “flesh and blood body”, and the discussion is over the presents of the flesh and blood body existing in the Kingdom of God. The “kingdom of God [Jesus Christ]” is the location that Jesus Christ rules.
When you are in your flesh body, you are in a decaying body, that is what “corruption” means here, while the incorruption is your soul body, does not age, get sick or die. For when the flesh and blood body dies, the soul body goes immediately to the presents of the Lord, as recorded in Ecclesiastes 12:7.
Then in I Corinthians 15:51; “Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,” Paul is showing us a mystery, which is something that is unknown. He is telling us that we are not all going to die [“all sleep”], but we will be changed from one form to another. Why? Because the bodies we are in cannot exist in the kingdom of God, or where ever our Lord Jesus Christ is.
I Corinthians 15:52; “In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.”
The time that all this changing takes place is given, and there can be no confusion over when it shall be: is “At the last trump”, the seventh trumpet, which is when our Lord Jesus Christ returns to this earth. That is not difficult to understand, so now we know the meaning of Paul’s mystery. The “mystery” is that flesh and blood cannot exist in Jesus Christ’s kingdom, and the time that kingdom starts is at the sounding of the seventh and last trumpet. Then when the change comes to “all” people left on this earth alive, it will be instant, “in the twinkling of an eye”, and that is the time it take you to blink.
We read in Ezekiel 39:8 that we are now in the Millennium age, for our Lord has returned and it is He that has destroyed the Russian forces, and putting an end to all war machinery. So these people that are coming out of their cities, in the land of Israel have been changed, and that is why they will do what they will do.
Ezekiel 39:10 “So that they shall take no wood out of the field, neither cut down any out of the forests; for they shall burn the weapons with fire: and they shall spoil those that spoiled them, and rob those that robbed them, saith the Lord God.”
There will be no business, sickness, or anything that will hinder them. All men [women] will learn about God and His ways for the next thousand years, regardless of their desire to do so. there will be no one hindered by any handicap, for as we saw in I Corinthians 15:50-52 they will “all have changed” into their incorruptible [soul] bodies. Jesus Christ’s kingdom is at time for teaching and discipline.
At the completion of the thousand years of teaching and discipline comes the judgment, and this is where you will be judged by your works, and what you did with the knowledge you were taught. It is only God that can destroy your soul. Hebrews 12:29 tells us, “For our God is a consuming fire”, and that fire is the only thing that can destroy a living soul.
Ezekiel 39:11 “And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will give unto Gog a place there of graves in Israel, the valley of the passengers on the east side of the sea: and it shall stop the noses of the passengers: and there shall they bury Gog and all his multitude: and they shall call it The valley of Hamon-gog.”
Remember, this is taking place on the Lord’s day; the trumpet has sounded, and all people left on this earth have changed. The Lord’s day is the first day of the Millennium, when Jesus Christ will now rule as King and Lord of this earth. “In that day” the Russians and their allies will be in their graves in a valley in Alaska, in the land of the “true “House of Israel”. this valley has a name in the Scripture, and will be called “the valley of Hamon Gog”, which is translated, “the valley of the multitude of Gog” [Russia].
How were they stopped? It was the Coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by His methods were they destroyed. God used His control over natural forces to stop their army.
The purpose of God’s wrath was to show all the heathen nations that God keeps His word.
Ezekiel 39:12 “And seven months shall the house of Israel be burying of them, that they may cleanse the land.”
Though it talks of the cleanup of dead bodies in a battlefield. The cleansing is in the minds of all people, to give hope and understanding of God’s love.
Ezekiel 39:13 “Yea, all the People of the land shall bury them; and it shall be to them a renown the day that I shall be glorified, saith the Lord God.”
The object lesson that God is giving to the world, is His faithfulness to His Word. That will remain fresh in the minds of of all people, and God will be glorified by it.
Ezekiel 39:14 “And they shall sever out men of continual employment, passing through the land to bury with the passengers those that remain upon the face of the earth, to cleanse it: after the end of seven months shall they search.”
Though you may relate this to this flesh age, the only employment is that of teachers. This is a time of learning, and discipline, and there will be nothing to hinder that process. The “passengers” are all those souls that are left here on earth to do the work, to cleans it [to be taught]. These souls are those souls that went whoring after the Antichrist, for they did not know the difference between the fifth trumpet, and the seventh trumpet. They thought they would see Jesus Christ in their flesh bodies.
They listened to their false prophets tell them how they were going to fly away, and they believed them. Well their false prophets are not around anymore, neither are the Kenites, neither is Satan; there is no one that can confuse them through this time of learning. The “seven months” again refers to the “seventh dispensation” which is the Millennium age. It is in this Millennium age that all souls will keep all the laws, ordinances, and feast days of the Lord.
Ezekiel 39:15 “And the passengers that pass through the land, when any seeth a man’s bone, then shall he set up a sign by it, till the buriers have buried it in the valley af Hamon-gog.”
Ezekiel 39:16 “And also the name of the city shall be Hamonah. Thus shall they cleanse the land.”
“Hamonah” means “to the multitude”.
Ezekiel 39:17 “And, thou son of man, thus saith the Lord God; Speak unto every feathered fowl, and to every beast of the field, Assemble yourselves, and come; gather yourselves on every side to My sacrifice that I do sacrifice for you, even a great sacrifice upon the mountains of Israel, that ye may eat flesh, and drink blood.”
Ezekiel 39:18 “Ye shall eat the flesh of the mighty, and drink blood of the princes of the earth, of rams, of lambs, and of goats, of bullocks, all of them fatlings of Bashan.”
this cleanup is also addressed in Amos 4:1; “Hear this word, ye kine of Bashan, that are in the mountain of Samaria, which oppress the poor, which crush the needy, which say to their masters, Bring, let us drink.” “Samaria” is the old House of Israel, not the Jews. This should not be a time of surprise when it comes to pass in the near future, it will be exactly as it is written.
the “Lambs and rams” are the symbols of Israel, and the goats that are mixed with the lams and rams are non-Israelites. They are the ones that are living in the Christian nations and enjoying the blessings and protection that God is giving to them.
Yet, even some of the lambs and rams will depart with the goats, following the judgment at the end of the Millennium age. They will enter into the lake of fire.
Ezekiel 39:19 “And ye shall eat fat till ye be full, and drink blood till ye be drunken, of My sacrifice which I have sacrificed for you.”
This sacrifice feast is given for the Glory of God. It is talking about the putting off of the flesh body, and living now in the spiritual [soul] body. Each of us will partake of Christ, for He will be with us. Remember in the communion, we take of the wine and the broken bead, Luke 22:19, 20; “And He took bread, and gave thanks and brake it, and gave it to them saying, This is My body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of Me. [verse 20] Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in My blood, which is shed for you.”
As long as we are in the flesh and blood body we are to continue to take communion, and the purpose is so that we remember the broken body of Jesus Christ that was shed for each of us. Luke 22:16; “For I say unto you, I will not any more eat thereof, until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God.” The kingdom of God is fulfilled when Jesus Christ returns to earth at the seventh trumpet, and all are changed into the spiritual bodies. Then we are no longer flesh and blood, and we do not take the sacrifice to remember Christ, because He will be with us.
This brings up another question presented in Luke 36:24-48. Jesus appeared to His disciples and talked with them, just following His death and resurrection. When He came and left, He passed right through the wall, which substance was real, the wall, or Christ’s body? Remember that at the last trumpet, all people will be in their spiritual, or soul bodies.
We saw in verse seventeen that the animal world, the beasts of the field, fish and fowl were all brought in to devour the flesh, however living man will not exist in the in the flesh at this time. Prophecy is hard to understand by most people today, because they have the mind of reason, and the evolutionist. They deal in the flesh world as the observe it, and then limit God to their understanding of what they have observed. Any change, or possibility of change must conform to the logic of their physical observations.
Everything they see, and they reason, must have always occurred as it is, and as such, has always been the exact the way they see it. They assume that no catastrophic events have occurred world wide, and from this they finely tune their theories of evolution, and others. Friend, all of their theories will be shattered shortly, for at the coming of Christ things will be changed.
Ezekiel 39:20 “Thus ye shall be filled at My table with horses and chariots, with mighty men, and with all men of war, saith the Lord God.”
“Chariots” here should be “Riders”, from the Hebrew text. These mighty men of war, are spiritual warriors who stood against the Antichrist while in their physical bodies, and were not deceived by Him.
Ezekiel 39:21 “And I will set My glory among the heathen, and all the heathen shall see My judgment that I have executed, and My hand that I have laid upon them.”
In the Millennium age, all heathen nations will come to know God, and be glorified by our Lord. They will be taught, and tested. This will all be done in our spiritual bodies, so the hang ups we now have in the flesh body will not hinder anyone’s learning and understanding. All minds will be at 100 per cent capacity, with no body frailties.
Why? So they may love Him.
Ezekiel 39:22 “So the house of Israel shall know that I am the Lord their God from that day and forward.”
Ezekiel 39:23 “And the heathen shall know that the house of Israel went into captivity for their iniquity: because they trespassed against Me, therefore hid I My face from them, and gave them into the hand of their enemies: so fell they all by the sword.”
Israel’s captivity was because of their sins. Israel took other gods, and idols and the punishment by God was, and is an example to the heathen nations. God will correct His own, and in His love He sill bring them back to Himself.
Ezekiel 39:24 “According to their uncleanness and according to their transgressions have I done unto them, and hid My face from them.”
This is not only talking about the ancient “House of Israel” that fell in 722 B.C., but also all modern day Christian nations, with their fly away “rapture doctrine”, that went whoring after the Antichrist. God will turn them over to their own abominations, so if you desire to whore after the Antichrist in ignorance, God is saying He will let you go. He said; “I will hide My face from them.”
Ezekiel 39:25 “Therefore thus saith the Lord God; Now will I bring again the captivity of Jacob, and have mercy upon the whole house of Israel, and will be jealous for My holy name;”
God only allowed Israel to have what was coming to them. Though Israel speaks on the national sense, it also applies to each person individually. We must repent when we sin, then not allow others to put us on a guilt trip.
This captivity of Israel is not a confinement, but a reclaiming of all the tribes of both houses, as we read about in Ezekiel 37. God will do this, not because of who or what they are, but because of His holy Name. God keeps His word. He spoke through the prophets, and made His covenants with Abraham, Jacob, Moses, David, Jeremiah and so on, and He will stand behind every promise.
The Christian Church world is blind, for from all the blessings and protection we have received from God in America, They still can not relate these blessings to the promises He gave our forefathers. How many times a day, or week, or even in a year do we say; “Thank you Father for our blessings.” Have you told Him that you loved Him. Friend, that is why He created you, “To love Him, and to Worship Him.”
Ezekiel 39:26 “After that they have borne their shame, and all their trespasses whereby they have trespassed against Me, when they dwelt safely in their land, and none made them afraid.”
Ezekiel 39:27 “When I have brought them again from the people, and gathered them out of their enemies’ lands, and am sanctified in them in the sight of many nations;”
This will be done exactly as worded; “In the sight of many nations”. All people of this earth will see God gathering His own from every nation. He will do this so that He will be “sanctified [made known] to all the heathen nations, that God keeps His word. This is done right at the beginning of the Millennium age, and will establish trust in our Lord Jesus Christ from the start. They will know that God loves His own.
Ezekiel 39:28 “Then shall they know that I am the Lord their God, which caused them to be led into captivity among the heathen: but I have gathered them unto their own land, and have left none of them any more there.”
As Israel sinned against God, their punishment received was exactly as God forewarned that it would be. That warning was given by Moses, and instructions God gave to them was given in detail. God is telling Israel in this twenty eighth verse, that it was I that led you into captivity amongst the heathen nations. I did this to let you know that I am your God, and to show you that I will bring you our and give you your own land. The sole reason is to let them know that God is in control, and that He loves His people.
Ezekiel 39:29 “Neither will I hide My face any more from them: for I have poured out My spirit upon the house of Israel, saith the Lord God.”
All of God’s people will be sifted from every nation on earth. they will be gathered together in their own lands, and then God will pour out His spirit upon the whole “House of Israel. This represents the entire Christian world; though for centuries, the House of Israel did not know who they were, because God divorced them, as we read in Hosea; He took them back and gave them identity. That identity is “sons of the living God” [Christians], for Jesus Christ is the Living God. {Hosea 1:10}
