Daniel 9:24-25 is a primary key to prophecy. It gives meaning to the church age and an understanding of the end times. Another important passage is Ezekiel 38. As you read this passage and relate these ancient lands to those of today, you will see that Israel is surrounded by those who would like to see her disappear. Magog seems to be Central Asia. Gog is probably the prince. Others include: Rosh as Russia, Meshech is Turkey, Tubal is Turkey and southern Russia and Iran, Persia is Iran, Ethiopia is Sudan, Put is Egypt, Gomer is Turkey, Beth-togarmah is Turkey and the ‘many peoples’ may well include other Islamic nations.1
Iran’s president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said yesterday [Sunday] that the U.S. intelligence report saying Iran had halted a nuclear weapons program in 2003 amounted to Washington’s “declaration of surrender” to Tehran. He was obviously pleased with the report.
This is the same man who said Israel should be wiped from the face of the earth. In my recent blog, I shared Philemon’s thoughts on the dangers facing the U.S and the world from the deceptions and practices of Islam. The National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) said Iran shut down its nuclear weapons program in 2003 but started it a year later. Their equipment was dispersed to hinder the work of international inspectors.

Israel had its beginning in 1948 after a six day war. Jewish people continue to move into Israel today in spite of the continuing attacks by their neighbors. Russia has even changed her position. Once they were anxious for the Israelis to leave, now they are offering incentives for them to return. They encourage Iran in their nuclear endeavors.
Some day, and I believe sooner than later, a peace deal will be made with Israel ushering in what appears to be a lasting peace. This peace will occur at the time of the rapture and the man accomplishing this amazing feat will be none other than the Antichrist. Then when peace seems to be firmly established, the treaty will be broken and the Islamic nations will rise up to wipe Israel from the face of the earth. Ezekiel 38:8 sets the time: “After many days you will be visited. In the latter years you will come into the land of those brought back from the sword and gathered from many people on the mountains of Israel, which had long been desolate; they were brought out of the nations, and now all of them dwell safely.”
The Battle of Armageddon (Rev 16:16, 19:17-21) will take place at the end of the seven years of tribulation and the beginning of the 1000 years or the Millenium. The battle of Gog and Magog referred to in Rev 20:8 will take place at the end of the 1000 years. The battle in Ezekiel occurs before the Millenium, since the writer describes the Millenium in chapetrs 40-48. This battle may well take place in the middle of the 7 years of tribulation. There may be two battles with Gog and Magog.
The conflict of the ages began when Satan was cast out of heaven. He continues his battle as a “roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.” That battle continues today between the descendants of Isaac and Ishmael.
These Islamic countries are ageless and intent on destroying (Gen. 16:11-12) Israel and anyone in the way, even US. Ezekiel 38 indicates these countries will form an alliance to bring an end to Israel but not before a peace treaty is brokered by the Antichrist. Then they (the Islamic nations) shall be defeated (Ezek. 38:21-23) and the peace treaty signed by the Antichrist will be broken. Then comes the last 3 ½ years—“the Great Tribulation.”
In spite of all the efforts of the United States to broker a peace treaty, it seems like things will get worse before they get better. Israel longs for this peace, but it won’t last very long. The peace of Christmas initiated by the birth of Christ is an everlasting peace available to one and all thereby assuring a ringside seat from the battlements of Heaven. Hey! We’re out of here, don’t ya know?.
Merry Christmas
