GOG IDENTIFIED. It is now, in reference to Israel during these last days of Gog's people, that what Almighty God has prophesied, is to take place: "…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). Therefore, Gog is coming in upon the people of the "land" of GodIn respect of sanctifying Himself, the Sovereign Lord Jehovah says: "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… when I am sanctified among you before their eyes." (Ezek 36:22,23). Gog-like natures within many Israelis and Palestinians have invaded the land of Palestine; and is where, it says, Gog will come to his end. (Dan 11:41,45 NWT Moffatt). Jewish forefathers were given an unveiled opportunity to come to know God, unlike their Jewish descendants today (their sons). As the complete number of the anointed sons of God has been gathered from among the Gentiles, God has now promised to again extend His mercy to natural Jews to become part of His spiritual "land". (Rom 11:25-32). He will do this by giving them a "new heart" and a "new spirit", giving them clean spiritual "waters" (teachings) through servants of God. (Ezek 36:25,26). These spiritual "waters" will gather in only those Jews on "the point of coming in" to God (Ezek 36:8); symbolically their "burial places" will be opened (Ezek 37:11-14), meaning they will "come to life" by the Spirit of God in them, and will not remain in dead traditions and ordinances made obsolete by The Christ. (Heb 8:10,13. Col 2:13,14). They are to be sown with the "seed" of the Spirit of God, after they have been "cultivated". (Ezek 36:9). (1) Palestinians were invaded in June 1982.(2) A massacre of Palestinians in Lebanon took place in September 1982.(See Zech Ch.11 and Pages 883A and 883B: "flock meant for the killing"). The Sovereign Lord Jehovah is shepherding the "flock meant for the killing" on behalf of the "afflicted ones" of His "flock" (Zech 11:7); magnifying and sanctifying His Great Name that until now has been profaned among the nations by natural Jews. Gog's attacks on the undisturbed "land" of God that has no "bar and doors" (Ezek 38:8-11) triggers the anger and judgement of God. (Ezek 38:18-23). The Christ Michael shall rise to power and defends people of God enrolled in the book of life. (Dan 12:1 Moffatt). Gog and his crowd come to their end without a helper. "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." (Rom 11:26). 27/8/83. |
