The Diaspora breaks in 1948 and Jews seemingly spring from the boneyards of Eastern Europe to a national sovereignty denied them for 2000 years. What next? I think Ezekiel 38 and 39 tell that tale. The earth has a new center and it's not us, folks!

5. Ezekiel 38 + 39 describe an invasion of Israel by an entity
called “Gog of the land of Magog . . .” The descriptions
are powerful, graphic, compelling and they attract lots of
attention from people like me: End-Times prophecy
addicts/nerds/students/obsessives and etc.
A key question:
Just WHEN does/did this invasion occur?
Way, way back in
time. Think Antiochus
Epiphanes
C’mon, Gog is the
AntiChrist and this is all
about Armageddon, you
know, post-Trib
No, gotta be
just before the 70th
Week, you know,
pre-Trib!
What??? This is
definitely mid-Trib,
buster!
Nope! Check out
Revelation 20-that’s where you’ll find
your Gog and Magog, end of the
Millennium!

6. There are direct statements
and strong implications in Ezekiel 38
and 39 you can use to get a picture of:
1. THE SITUATION: Pre-existing economic and
geopolitical fortunes of Israel and her neighbors.
2.THE PLAYERS: What groups or countries are
involved in Gog’s attack? Which are not?
3.THEIR MOTIVES: Why-and why not!-do the
attackers invade?
4.THE OUTCOME: What happens as
a result of this invasion?
With this information in hand, we can see which
time period, if any, best suits Gog’s invasion and
which times, if any, cannot play host to it!

This verse gives us our one time reference. The phrasing
(after many days . . . latter years . . . land restored . . .
gathered from many nations . . . had been a continual
waste) would rule out any deep, historical fulfillment.
Conversely, a post-1948 time frame reflects precisely
each and every element in the verse.
Way, deep back in time.
Think Antiochus Epiphanes

8. THE ECONOMIC
SITUATION:

a land worth plunderin
g for silver and gold, c
attle and
goods and great spoil
. . . (38:13)
This material states clearly that the inhabitants of the land have
amassed great wealth. In a word, Israel on the eve of Gog’s invasion
has existed in the land productively enough to have become very
RICH

9. THE GEOPOLITICAL
SITUATION:
)

living securely,
a land of unwalled villages . . . people at rest, living
securely . . . without walls and having no bars or gates.
(38:11)
the center of the world
. . . (38:13)
This suite of references depicts an Israel so used to peace that it has allowed its
defenses to lapse on the eve of Gog’s invasion . Perhaps in connection with its
great wealth, our Jewish ‘the center of the world’ has become very . . .
PEACEFUL

12. THE INVASION FORCE

13. THE INVASION FORCE
There exist way too many attempts to map out just who the players are here. Gog
and Magog can represent a Russian confederacy or Turkey or the EU or . . .
sheesh! Beth-Togarmah and Gomer are Eastern Europe or the remnants of the
Scythians or the Duke Lacrosse Team. I have my favorite and wildly speculative
designations but do not want to bother you with them right now.
I want you to notice something else of possibly deeper interest.
1. Notice who’s NOT listed as attackers and where they lie in relation to Israel.
2. Notice the attackers’ relative distance away from Israel.

14. THE INVASION FORCE
WHO IS LISTED:
1. Libya (Put)

17. MOTIVATION OF THE
INVADERS:
the villages are unwalled and people are at rest . . .(38:11)
to capture spoil and seize plunder . . . (38:12)
Have you come to capture spoil . . . carry away gold
and silver . . . cattle and goods (38:13)
Greed motivates this invasion force-nothing remotely religious occurs to their
minds!! They do not contest God or seek revenge or land or the conquest of a
powerful antagonist. God inflames their imaginations with the thought of how easy
it will to be to get insanely rich by plundering an unprepared and unsuspecting Israel
GREED

18. OUTCOME OF THE
INVASION:

I will strike your bow fr

arrows from your righ

You will fall down on the mountains of Israel (38:13)
God supernaturally defends His people. Earthquakes and hail and brimstone and
blood! God has summoned Gog and company for judgment by putting visions of the
plunder of a rich, undefended Israel in their greedy minds.
DEFEAT FOR GOG AND HIS ALLIES

the people of the land will bury them . . . They will set apart
men who will constantly pass through, even those left on the
surface of the ground, in order to cleanse it . . . So they will
cleanse the land. (39:11-16)
Ezekiel spends 6 verses describing the elaborate and thorough process by which the
land will be cleansed of corpses. God wants the land thoroughly cleansed of bodies!!
RITUAL BURIAL FOR THE AGGRESSORS

(39:7)
God makes Himself known in the world, establishes Israel in security for evermore.
GOD SANCTIFIES HIMSELF AMONG THE
NATIONS AND IN ISRAEL

23. In locating the ev
e of Gog’s invasio
n, we’re looking
when the Bible p
for a time
ictures Israel as:
1. RESTORED T
O THE LAND
2. RICH AND EC
O
NOMICALLY PO
WERFUL
3. AT PEACE WI
TH HER NEIGH
BORS,
4. AT ODDS WIT
H MORE DISTA
NT NATIONS

24. In identifying a b
iblical parallel fo
r God’s invasion,
looking for a pro
we’re
phecy passage th
at depicts Israel
as:
5. ATTACKED B

THE
9. RECEIVING, A
T GOD’S HAND,
AN EXPERIENC
PERPETUAL PE
E OF
ACE AND SPIRI
TUAL PURITY.

25. I think we’ve scratched-with reason!-the possibility of
some historical fulfillment for this prophecy.
The question still remains:
Just when DOES this invasion occur?
Way, way back in
time. Think Antiochus
Epiphanes
C’mon, Gog is the
AntiChrist and this is all
about Armageddon, you
know, post-Trib
No, gotta be
just before the 70th
Week, you know,
pre-Trib!
What??? This is
definitely mid-Trib,
buster!
Nope! Check out
Revelation 20-that’s where you’ll find
your Gog and Magog, end of the
Millennium!

26. MY DILEMMA HERE:
Items 1-8 work together to
ELIMINATE any 70th Week
time slot for Ezekiel 38+39.
Item 9 locates the vision’s
only possible fulfillment
AFTER Armageddon at the
end of the 70th Week.
WUWT?

3. Neighbors remain

NO-Egypt immediately goes to war against the

4. Aggressors nonneighbors
NO-there’s no record of non-neighbor conflict here
at this time acc. to Daniel 11
5. Motivated by greed
6. God defeats

Daniel’s despicable person uses greed as a tool but
not necessarily as a reason for international conflict
No-this ‘king’ does as he pleases-for this period of

7. Aggressors ritually

No mention of this-no aggressors defeated, just
random piles of combatants here and there
8. Israel plunders foes

No.

No way! Israel stumbles into the Time of Jacob’s

39. MY SOLUTION HERE:
Majority rules. Items 1-8
WILL guide my choice of
any time slot.
Item 9 I will treat as
separate. It FORECASTS
Israel’s ultimate (and
somewhat later) spiritual
restoration.
Let me illustrate this way:

40. Ezekiel 38+39
1. Israel at Peace
SOONER THAN YOU THINK
3. Neighbors remain
peaceful
Islam crumbles if/when Mecca falls. Neighbors
pacified as Jehovah seems to dominate Allah.
Huge off-shore gas reserves, Arab labor/markets
merge with Jewish managerial/technical expertise
Commercial allegiance cemented by spiritual
superiority of Jehovah.
4. Aggressors nonneighbors
Second tier of nations, those at distance watch,
jealously as Israel/neighbors prosper
5. Motivated by greed
Naturally! Outlying nations want what Israel has
6. God defeats
aggressors
Yes, big time!
7. Aggressors ritually
buried
A natural consequence of this conflict
8. Israel plunders foes
weapons for 7 years
No problem-if such an event occurs when I think it
might
9. God blesses Israel
with perpetual peace
This aspect serves as a post-script, a forecast, a look
forward a la Luke 4:21’s use of Isaiah 61:1
2. Israel Rich

47. A supremely confident Israel foolishly signs a seven
year covenant with the “prince who is to come.” This
despicable political figure will metastasize into what
we call the AntiChrist half way through this covenant’s
run. What can Israelis expect of their evil shepherd?
