GOG IDENTIFIED.

With reference to Israel, this is what Almighty God has prophesied to take place during the last days of Gog's people: "…and I shall certainly bring you against My land, for the purpose that the nations may know Me when I sanctify Myself in you before their eyes, O Gog." (Ezek 38:16). Gog is coming in upon prospective members of the "land" of God living in Israel by inciting demonstrations among those with Gog-like dispositions. Police and military forces of Gog with "large shield and buckler" are then called upon to control these Gog-mob demonstrators. (38:4). So Palestinians and Israelis with Gog-like dispositions are already invading the land of Decoration; but they are also where Gog will come to his end. (Dan 11:41,45 NWT & Moffatt).

(1)  In September 1982 the massacre of 800 Palestinians civilians was carried out by
       Lebanese Phalangist forces in Beirut. Their way in was facilitated by the Israeli army.
       (See Pages 883A and 883B: "flock meant for the killing").

(2)  Immediately after that massacre in Lebanon, demonstrations took place in the streets
      of Judah. The unity of "brotherhood" between Judah and Israel was certainly broken.
      (Zech 11:7-14).

The Sovereign Lord Jehovah has shepherded the "flock meant for the killing" on behalf of the "afflicted ones" of His "flock". (Zech 11:7). Now He will magnify and sanctify His Great Name that has been profaned among the nations by natural Jews, just as it is written: "Therefore say to the house of Israel, 'This is what the Sovereign Lord Jehovah has said: "Not for your sakes am I doing it, O house of Israel, but for My Holy Name, which you have profaned among the nations where you have come in." And I shall certainly sanctify My Great Name, which was being profaned among the nations, which you profaned in the midst of them; and the nations will have to know that I am Jehovah,' is the utterance of the Sovereign Lord Jehovah, 'when I am sanctified among you before their eyes.'" (36:22,23).

Attacks by Gog upon the undisturbed "land" of God that has no "bar and doors" will instigate the anger and Judgement of God. (38:8-11 & 18-23). The Christ Michael will rise to power and deliver people of God enrolled in the book of life. (Dan 12:1 Moffatt). But Gog (satan) and his crowd will all come to their end without a helper. (Dan 11:45).

THE JEWS HAVE DRAWN "NEAR TO THE POINT OF COMING IN".
Unlike their Jewish descendants, ancient Israel was given the opportunity to come to know God. Now that the complete number of anointed sons of God has been gathered from among the nations, God has promised to again extend His mercy to natural Jews that they may become part of His spiritual "land" as it is written: "The deliverer will come out of Zion and turn away unGodly practices from Jacob. And this is the covenant on My part with them, when I take their sins away." (See Rom 11:25-32). Almighty God will give them "new heart" and "new spirit" that they may learn how to keep His judicial decisions and carry them out. They will receive the Spirit of God and the "clean water" of spiritual teachings of The Christ through anointed sons of God to spiritually cleanse them of their "dungy idols". (36:25 27). These spiritual "waters" will gather Jews on "the point of coming in" to God. (36:8). By the Spirit of God within them their "burial places" will be opened and they will "come to life" and become part of "the whole house of Israel". (37:11-14). They will no longer remain in "the Law of commandments consisting in decrees" made obsolete by The Christ. (Eph 2:13-16. Col 2:13,14). They will be spiritually "cultivated" and sown with the "seed" by the Spirit of God. (36:9).
