Will Israel-Iran War Lead To Gog & Magog War?
All Israel News:
On The Rosenberg Report, host Joel Rosenberg reports on Israel’s campaign against the Islamic Republic of Iran, dismantling its military leadership and striking its nuclear sites. Are current events setting the stage for the prophetic Ezekiel 38 & 39 Gog & Magog War and Jeremiah 49?
Opinion: Joel Rosenberg is one of my go-to Bible teachers. But, like other Israel analysts, there is one word in Ezekiel 38:8 that Joel and others do not speak about. See if you can spot it.
“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 word is sword. Israel will be brought back from the sword.
AI: the Hebrew word ḥereḇ (חֶרֶב) primarily means sword and is frequently used in the Bible to denote a weapon of war.
There is only one prophesied (potential) war that I can find that will involve the defeat of ALL of Israel neighbors, and it is found in Psalm 83. Take a look at the participants.
The tents of Edom – (Edom is Esau Gen 36:1) originally Mt. Seir (southern Jordan) until the 6th century BC when Esau’s descendants were forced to change locations by a Nabatean tribe. Edom today is represented by the Palestinians of the West Bank
Moab and Ammon – Palestinians of central and northern Jordan also called the children of Lot (Gen. 19:30-38)
The Ishmaelites – Ishmael settled in the Arabian Peninsula or modern-day Saudi Arabia
The Hagrites – Hagar, mother of Ishmael, was from Egypt
Amalek – Eternal enemy of the Israelites (Ex. 17:16) Arabs of the Sinai (ISIS)
Gebal – Northern Lebanon
Philistia – Palestinians of Gaza (Hamas)
The inhabitants of Tyre – Southern Lebanon (Hezbollah)
Assyria – Syria and northern Iraq
If all of them are defeated, it would stand to reason that Israel would ‘dwell safely’ setting up the Russian led invasion of Ezekiel 38.
