We are in the middle of a series of messages entitled "Then They Shall Know That I Am The Lord." We have learned that Jehovah God uses this phrase repeatedly in Ezekiel 36-39. In last week's message we also started studying Ezekiel 38-39 that illustrates the Battle of Gog and Magog showing a collation of nations invading the Mountains of Israel.
Possibly answering why God would allow this war against Israel, Ezekiel 38:17-23 is entitled "Judgement of God." Verse 18 shows the Lord God saying, "And it will come to pass at the same time, when Gog comes against the land of Israel," says The Lord God, "That My fury will show in My face." Remembering that Gog is the leader of the nations that will invade Israel, Jehovah God says when this invasion takes place, "Fury will show in My face." He is going to react to this attack upon His People!
Ezekiel 38:19 says, "For in My jealously and in the fire of My wrath I have spoken: 'Surely in that day there shall be a great earthquake in the land of Israel.'" Jehovah God will bring about a great earthquake in Israel. In reality, verse 20 says this earthquake will be so extensive it will affect all people on earth who will shake at His presence.
What A Mighty God We Serve
What A Mighty God We Serve
Angels Bow Before Him
Heaven And Earth Adore Him
What A Mighty God We Serve
However, Almighty God is not done! He continues to say in Ezekiel 38:21-22, "I will call for a sword against Gog throughout all My mountains . . . And I will bring him to judgement with pestilence and bloodshed."
In conclusion, we raise the question - Why will Jehovah God allow this war to take place and then judge and defeat Israel's enemies:
Then They Shall Know That I Am The Lord . . . Amen And Amen!
May The Lord Bless You Each And Every Day,
