Israel's Next War?

For the last  four and a half years these messages each week have encouraged people to pray for God's love and protection for Israel and the Jewish people worldwide. Over and over again we see our Lord God receiving and answering our prayers as we witness Him bringing Israel and the Jewish people through difficult and challenging situations. However, we absolutely must continue these prayers since we know Israel must be involved in at least two more wars and one appears to be very close! 

I am referring to what is known as The Battle of Gog and Magog as explained in Ezekiel 38 and 39. The chapters show Israel being invaded by a number of nations led by the "Land of Magog" that is Russia. The leader of Magog is called Gog, a dictator and we certainly can put Russian President Putin in that category. Russia currently has troops in Syria which is on the doorstep of Israel. 

Who are some of the other countries mentioned in Ezekiel as part of the invading forces? Persia is modern day Iran plus Gomer is believed to be Turkey and both currently have troops in Syria. Do we see a pattern developing?

Let us develop this pattern even further. The invading forces must pass through Lebanon or Syria to reach Israel. There should not be much difficultly passing through current day Syria but what about Lebanon? Hezbollah, a powerful terrorist group bent on destroying Israel, is headquartered in Lebanon. Need I say anymore? 

Most disturbing are the following events that have just taken place in Syria:

May 14, 2017 - United States, Britain and Jordanian troops have

taken up positions in Syria along the border with Israel. 

May 16, 2017 - Hezbollah has also positioned 1,000 troops nearby.

May 18, 2017 - A convoy of Syrian, Iranian and Hezbollah troops

and weapons were attacked by United States jets in the same area. 

May 20, 2017 - The remainder of these same troops advanced

and took over valuable territory.

All of the above illustrations again show the extreme importance of all of our prayers. Praise The Lord we know the end of the story! Our Lord God intervenes and wins this battle for His people Israel. Ezekiel 38:21-23.

Keep Praying, God's People, Keep Praying!

May The Lord Bless You This Day And Every Day,
