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.
