Publisher's Synopsis
This book addresses the Bible prophecy of Gog and Magog that Bible teachers seem to have struggled to explain even from times of old. Primary questions the book explores are as follows: What is the relationship of Gog and Magog, if any, with the Battle of Armageddon? What is the link of the end time "man of sin", if any, with Gog, Magog, and Armageddon? Where are the occurrence(s) of these things in human history? The Book of Genesis, prophecies of Isaiah, Ezekiel, Daniel, and Revelation are key sources used to address and explore answers to these questions.
The prophecy of Ezekiel Chapter 38 and 39 (Gog & Magog) intersects heavily with the prophecies of Daniel's beasts of Daniel Chapters 2, 7, and 8; Daniel Chapter 9 of 70-weeks; Daniel Chapter 12; Revelation's Chapter 16:16 of Armageddon; and Revelation's Chapter 20:8 of Gog and Magog!
The primary focus is about battles that shall occur, and shall be more destructive than any others known to man, until the time of these battles.
Daniel's 70-weeks let us see that it shall be the time of the second appearing of Jesus to complete the final 1/2 week, (or 3 1/2years) of His Ministry with the National Jews (or Judah of Israel), since they rejected and helped the Romans crucify Him during His first Ministry and Salvation appearing (about 34 A.D.).
Daniel's prophecy about the beast of Daniel Chapters 2; 7; 8 let us see the involvements of world leaders (or the fourth beast along with his ten (10) subordinate beasts) during the seasons of these battles (Ezekiel's Gog & Magog; Revelation's Armageddon; and Revelations Gog & Magog).
Revelation Chapter 20 let us see the distinction in Ezekiel's prophecy of God & Magog's defeat, and the Gog & Magog defeated after the 1000 years of righteousness and peaceful reign of Jesus.
Daniel Chapter 12 serves as a "Summary" of what should be expected concerning end time prophecies fulfilled in Revelation.
The Book of Revelation, taken as a whole, provides us with final words from God; revealing result of what is to come, when He takes away the authority given the man to rule from the time of the Garden in Genesis! I am persuaded, the most obvious of all the reasons for taking man's ruling authority is that the man fell into sin! Therefore, Jesus being our redeemer "man without sin", and God also; shall reign on earth as in heaven for the Godhead! And the redeemed from sin by the Lord Jesus Christ; shall be Saints of God, forever! Hallelujah; Hallelujah; Hallelujah ...
