Ezekiel's War-Not Armageddon


Bible Questions Answered: 
“With Iran, attempting to shut down the strait of Hormuz, many think Armageddon cannot be far away what do you think?”
Warren/ New York, New York

Bible Answer:

No country walks alone today, for all have alliances and pacts with others much larger than themselves. This is true of Iran, her big brother is without doubt Russia, who has supplied not only atomic supplies to her but most of her weaponry.

Standoffs between Iran and the U.S. have happened before in 1988, 2007-2008 (Iranian speed boats vs. U.S. Naval warships.

Is this a serious situation, yes. Is this Armageddon, no!

There are two upcoming wars, predicted by the Word of God. One is the “war of Ezekiel,” and the other is the battle of “Armageddon,” and they are “not,” the same. And if you hear some one speaking about Armageddon and using Ezekiel scriptures, …..time to listen to some one else!

So many ram, every scripture describing latter day wars into one pot. This is wrong, and without any merit at all.

What is next on God's prophetic clock?
The war predicted and described by the prophet Ezekiel, some 2,599 years ago!
This war is “not,” in any way shape or form the Armageddon war!

All Bible prophecy, has but one object in mind, and that is Jerusalem, and or the area of Palestine.
The prophecy in Ezekiel, regards Jerusalem and the enemy to the north.

Ezekiel 38/39 Be sure to take the time to read.

Ezekiel 38:1-6 KJV
1 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
2 Son of man, set thy face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him,
3 And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal:
4 And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws, and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armor, even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords:
5 Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all of them with shield and helmet:
6 Gomer, and all his bands; the house of Togarmah of the north quarters, and all his bands: and many people with thee.


Ezekiel 38:2 KJV
Gog is a symbolic name, representing the leader of the world powers antagonistic to God (see also Rev. 20:8).
Meshech and Tubal are understood to have been the same as the Moschi and Tibareni of the Greeks--tribes that inhabited regions in the Caucasus.

Rosh, which some would identify with Russia, must have designated a land and people somewhere in the same area. And therefore the Gog of Ezekiel must be viewed as in some sense the head of the high regions in the northwest of Asia.

Patrick Fairbairn, The Imperial Bible-dictionary.

Many interpret Meshech as Rosh, which means bear, and which of course is the emblem of (Moscow) Russia. Gomer, Germany, Togarmah, as being the Ukraine.

DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE EZEKIEL WAR AND THE BATTLE OF ARMAGEDDON:

1) Battle of Armageddon has no division of nations/ and nation will not be against nations. In Armageddon, nations will be gathered against Jerusalem (Zechariah 14:1-9/ Joel 3).
2) In Ezekiel's war, Russia is aligned with five other nations against Israel (Ezekiel 38:5,6), whereas in the battle of Armageddon the kings of the earth and all the world is gathered together to battle against Christ (Revelation 13:7,8).
3) The Ezekiel war is fought on the mountains of Israel (Ezekiel 38:8,20,21/ 39:2,4,17). The battle of Armageddon is fought in the “valley of Jehoshaphat,” (Joel 3:2, 12), Megiddo.
4) Ezekiel's war is  for “Ezekiel 38:16 KJV"... I will bring thee against My land, that the heathen may know Me...". Armageddon's war is Anti-Christ's war leading the kings of the earth, against Christ.
5) In Ezekiel 39:2, we read that one sixth of the invading army escapes/ but in the battle of Armageddon no one escapes Revelation 19:15,21.
6) Armageddon is a battle to end all battles, ending with the second coming of Christ, with His church, but if the battle of Armageddon is next, the Anti-Christ, has “not,” yet even been on the scene (Revelation 13:7).
7) Ezekiel's war is from the north (Ezekiel 38:15/39:2)/ while Armageddon's war is from three divisions of the Roman Empire (Daniel 7:8,24,26).
8) The war with Israel, is but a stage for the greatest opportunist, deceiver yet, a leader who  will desperately sympathizes with desolate Israel, and who will want to help her, including rebuilding her temple (Because Ezekiel's war will have removed the Dome of the Rock.). And his evil reasons will be, so that he may be worshiped, himself, as god (Matthew 24:15,16). That person will be none other than the deceiver the Anti-Christ (Daniel 11:36-39).

Ezekiel's war may be WWIII but it is not Armageddon. Russia and her allies, Iran, Libya, Germany, Ethiopia, and (Togarmah) the Ukraine, will invade Israel. Russia will come upon horseback.

In the 21st Century, this army of horsemen could only mean one thing, Cossacks are employed, because of  a Magnetic Pulse Bomb, rendering electronics in any form, useless, or a huge solar flare, which would do the same thing.

This will be a devastating nuclear war, read Ezekiel 38:19-23/ 39:1-8), a time of God's fiery wrath.

This of course is not a full discourse on the subject but clearly one can see that the Ezekiel war, which could happen at any time, is “not,” the battle of Armageddon.

Friends, what is the end of the matter?
It's time to know the Lord, if you do not know Him, ask Him into your heart and life today!
It's time to warn everyone of the hour in which we find our selves.
The rapture of the church of Jesus Christ, could happen at any moment.
It is time to pray, and to have a confessing life that is pleasing to the Lord!
