ATTACKS BY HOUSES OF GOG:
THE PHYSICAL AND SPIRITUAL FULFILMENT. BUT FIRST, AN EXPLANATION OF THE SCRIPTURE:
.
"...all of
them dwelling without wall, and they do
not have even bar and doors."
(Ezekiel 38:11).
At the time of the Lord's prophecy
to Ezekiel, inhabitants of the cities of Israel lived within the confines of
high protective walls. In the entrances of these confines were hung strongly
made doors, which were barred across if the people came under attack. Jews
living in Israel today do not have this arrangement, and are building many new
settlements in "open rural country". (38:11).
THE
PHYSICAL FULFILMENT.
In the final part
of the days, being the last days of those of the tribal houses, ancestry and
disposition of Gog, it is prophesied that Gog will think up an injurious scheme
and come up against those dwelling in "open rural country". (Ezek
38:10,11). Of Gog, it says he will attack "devastated places
reinhabited and upon a people gathered together out of the nations".
(38:12). Hundreds of thousands of Jews gathered out of many nations have
been flooding back to Israel their homeland. But people with ancestry dating
back to ancient Persia, Ethiopia, Put, Gomer, Armenia (the house of Togarmah),
and all its bands, will soon attack those living in new settlements occupying
"open rural country" in Israel, as prophesied. (38:5,6).
THE
SPIRITUAL FULFILMENT.
The evil
hostility of nations against the spiritual activities of Jehovah within
spiritual "Jews" and members of the "other sheep" of
Gentile origin, is akin to the evil hostility being expressed by nations against
natural born Jews returning to their homeland. (Rom 2:28,29. John 10:14-16).
This is for the reason that Jehovah is about to "graft" back into
His spiritual "land" a remnant of natural born Jews. (Please
read Romans 11:19-32). Jehovah in His mercy has promised to forgive the sins
of these Jews and conclude a covenant with them leading to their sanctification:
"And they will no longer defile themselves with their dungy idols and with
their disgusting things and with all their transgressions; and I shall certainly
save them from all their dwelling places (apostasies) in which they have
sinned, and I will cleanse them, and they must become My people, and I Myself
shall become their God." (Ezek 37:23. Please read 37:21-28).
CURRENT EVENTS.
Hostility among
people descended from the ancient tribal houses of Gog is increasing against
natural born Jews, particularly in nations opposed to Jewish settlements in the
vicinity of the West Bank and Gaza Strip, for they inhabit "the land of
open rural country". Very soon we will witness the evil scheme of Gog
(satan) expressed through his people against the land of Israel. But will
spiritual "Jews" of the "Israel" of God be schemed
against in the same manner? No. For Jehovah shall begin His
spiritual 'grafting' of natural born Jews into His beloved people
of the "new earth" by means of His anointed sanctuary class of
spiritual "Jews" in heaven. (Rev 21:1 4).
People of God have already
experienced hostilities from local police officers and Godless neighbours with
Gog like dispositions. Descendants with the ancestral dispositions of
Gomer*
have proven hostile to God's Kingdom developments and have persecuted His
beloved people residing in Wales. Among them are those who on occasion use
"large shield and buckler", even against those they claim to protect.
They are police officers. (38:4).
After destructive "fire and
sulphur" from the Sovereign Lord Jehovah has rained down to destroy
Gog's crowd, a burial ground shall be assigned to Gog's crowd east of the Dead
Sea. (38:22,23
& 39:11).
