THE PHYSICAL AND THE SPIRITUAL FULFILMENT OF THE ATTACKERS FROM
THE "HOUSES" OF GOG. BUT FIRSTLY, AN EXPLANATION OF THE SCRIPTURE:
THE PHYSICAL FULFILMENT.
At the time of the Lord's prophecy to Ezekiel, nations lived within the confines of high surrounding walls. In the entrances/exits were hung strongly made doors, which were barred across if the people were under attack. The Jews do not have this arrangement anymore. They are now building many settlements in open country.
In the final part of the days, being the last days of existence of the people of the tribal houses of Gog, of their ancestry and disposition, it is prophesied that Gog will scheme and come up against natural Jews dwelling in open rural country, as they are now doing. Of Gog, it says he will turn his hand "back upon devastated places reinhabited and upon a people gathered together out of the nations". (Ezek 38:12 NWT). Hundreds of thousands of Jews are now flooding back to their homeland of Israel, gathered by God out of many nations. Nations with ancestry from the lands of Persia, Ethiopia, Put, Gomer, and those of the house of Togarmah, and all its bands, will soon attack those living in the new dwellings that have been built in Israel.
THE SPIRITUAL OUTCOME OF THE PROPHECY.
As respects the remnant of God's Kingdom heirs and other servants being 'harvested', the dominant spirit in other parts of the earth just before and during the attack from many nations against the spiritual activities of God, will be the same hostility toward natural Jews as spiritual Jews of Gentile origin. This is for the reason that God will now be in the process of grafting back into His Kingdom a final remnant of natural Jews. At this juncture, it is advisable to read Romans 11:19-32 to understand all the implications. God in His mercy has promised to forgive the transgressions of the Jews, and will sanctify them and conclude His covenant with them. "They will no longer defile themselves with their dungy idols". (Ezek 37:23 NWT).
At the present time, ferment among Gog's people descended from the aforementioned tribal "houses" of the past, is increasing against the Jews; from peoples within nations opposed to the new Jewish settlements in Israel, the re-inhabiting of their land of open rural country. Very soon we will witness the thought-up scheme from Gog (satan) through his people. Will we also be schemed against in the same way? No, not unless we are then living in open country in Israel. For that is where God will begin His work of the "new earth" by means of His tabernacle. However, we have already experienced local hostilities from the police and neighbours with Gog-like dispositions.
GOMER:
'A name still in use apparently for the Welsh (Cymry).' (See: 'Aid to Bible Understanding'. Pg.676)Descendants with ancestral dispositions of Gomer, who are protagonists against God's Kingdom developments and persecutors of God's people residing in Wales, and who are also horsemen on occasion using "large shield and buckler" against those they falsely claim to protect -- ARE POLICEMEN.
After the destructive "fire and sulphur" from God, a mass burial place for Gog's crowd will be located east of the sea, in Israel.
