This message is the first of a number of messages looking at the Future Of The Land Of Israel. Between now and when Jesus physically returns to earth, Israel will take part in three wars.
Psalm 83 in verses 2-4 says, "For behold, Your enemies make a tumult; and those who hate You have lifted up their head. They have taken crafty counsel against Your people and consulted together against Your sheltered ones. They have said, 'come, and let us cut them off from being a nation, that the name of Israel may be remembered no more.'" This is a very clear indication that the enemies of Israel are working together to destroy Israel. Verse 6 actually identifies some of these nations to include Jordan, Syria, Lebanon and Gaza.
The Battle of Gog and Magog will be an invasion of the Mountains of Israel and it is believed it will take place before the seven year Tribulation Period. Our Lord God talks to Gog, who is believed to be the leader of Russia in Ezekiel 38:15-16 saying, "Then you will come from your place out of the far north, you and many peoples with you . . . You will come up against My People Israel like a cloud." Gog will lead a coalition of nations surrounding Israel in an attempt to destroy Israel. However, Jehovah God responds to this invasion saying in verses 21 and 23, "I will call for a sword against Gog . . . Thus I will Magnify Myself and Sanctify Myself."
The final battle for Israel happens at the end of the Tribulation Period and is called The Battle of Armageddon. However, this battle centers on Jerusalem but will happen throughout Israel. Armies from around the world will gather in the Valley of Megiddo which is Armageddon in Hebrew. Once again, Jehovah God intervenes and wins this final battle for Israel but also for all the peoples of the earth. {Zechariah 14:3}
What A Mighty God We Serve!

Heaven And Earth Adore Him,
What A Mighty God We Serve!
