5.  Countries War with Israel.  

Ezekiel 38:1–6 The word of the Lord came to me: ² “Son of man, set your face against Gog, of the land of Magog… ⁵ Persia, Cush and Put will be with them, all with shields and helmets, ⁶ also Gomer with all its troops, and Beth Togarmah from the far north with all its troops—the many nations with you. (Genesis 10 – Noah had 3 sons = Shem, Ham & Japheth)

Ezekiel 38:7-8 ⁷ "'Get ready; be prepared, you and all the hordes gathered about you, and take command of them. (literally a “provider of materials”) ⁸ After many days you will be called to arms. In future years you will invade a land that has recovered from war, whose people were gathered from many nations to the mountains of Israel, which had long been desolate. They had been brought out from the nations, and now all of them live in safety… 

Ezekiel 38:18-22 ¹⁸ This is what will happen in that day: When Gog attacks the land of Israel, my hot 

anger will be aroused, declares the Sovereign LORD. ¹⁹ In my zeal and fiery wrath I declare that at 

that time there shall be a great earthquake in the land of Israel. ²⁰ … The mountains will be 

overturned, the cliffs will crumble and every wall will fall to the ground. ²¹ I will summon a sword 

against Gog on all my mountains… ²² I will execute judgment upon him with plague and bloodshed; I 

will pour down torrents of rain, hailstones and burning sulfur on him and on his troops and on the 

many nations with him.

Ezekiel 39:1-3 "Son of man, prophesy against Gog (leader of Russia) and say: …“I will bring you from the far north and send you against the mountains of Israel. ³ Then I will strike your bow from your left hand and make your arrows drop from your right hand.

Ezekiel 39:4-6 ⁴ On the mountains of Israel you will fall, you and all your troops and the nations with you… ⁶ I will send fire on Magog (Russia) and on those who live in safety in the coastlands… (“a remote distant coastland or island” where people live “In Safety” or live “carelessly” or live too self-assured)

Ezekiel 39:9-11 ⁹ " 'Then those who live in the towns of Israel will go out and use the weapons for fuel and burn them up--the small and large shields, the bows and arrows, the war clubs and spears. For seven years they will use them for fuel. ¹⁰ They will not need to gather wood from the fields or cut it from the forests, because they will use the weapons for fuel…¹¹ "'On that day I will give Gog a burial place in Israel, in the valley of those who travel east toward the Sea… 

Ezekiel 39:11-15 ¹¹ …It will block the way of travelers, because Gog and all his hordes will be buried there… ¹² " 'For seven months the house of Israel will be burying them in order to cleanse the land… ¹⁴ " 'Men will be regularly employed to cleanse the land… At the end of the seven months they will begin their search. ¹⁵ As they go through the land and one of them sees a human bone, he will set up a marker beside it until the gravediggers have buried it…”  

Zechariah 13:8–9 ⁸ In the whole land,” declares the Lord, “two-thirds will be struck down and perish; yet one-third will be left in it. ⁹ This third I will put into the fire; I will refine them like silver and test them like gold. They will call on my name and I will answer them…

Zechariah 14:12 “This is the plague with which the LORD will strike all the nations that fought against Jerusalem: Their flesh will rot while they are still standing on their feet, their eyes will rot in their sockets, and their tongues will rot in their mouths.” 

6.  10 Kings Rule New World Order 

Daniel 7:24-25 “The ten horns are ten kings who will come from this kingdom. After them another king will arise, different from the earlier ones; he will subdue three kings. He will speak against the Most High and oppress his saints and try to change the set times and the laws. The saints will be handed over to him for (3 ½ years).” 

Zechariah 8:23 This is what the Lord Almighty says: "In those days ten men from all languages and nations will take firm hold of one Jew by the hem of his robe and say, 'Let us go with you, because we have heard that God is with you.' "  

7. The Rapture of Christians into Heaven

1 Thessalonians 4:17 ¹⁷ …we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever.

Revelation 3:10 ¹⁰ Since you have kept my command to endure patiently, I will also keep you from the hour of trial that is going to come on the whole world to test the inhabitants of the earth.

1 Thessalonians 1:10 ¹⁰ …Jesus who delivers us from the wrath to come.

Zechariah 12:9–10 ⁹ And on that day I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem. ¹⁰ “And I will pour out on the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem a spirit of grace and pleas for mercy, so that, when they look on me, on him whom they have pierced, they shall mourn for him, as one mourns for an only child, and weep bitterly over him, as one weeps over a firstborn. 

Luke 12:40 ⁴⁰ …the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.”
