"THE VALLEY OF GOG-MOB!"
(Ezekiel Ch.38 & 39 NWT & Moffatt).

THE FULFILMENT AND FUTURE OF "GOG-MOB".
Those who use "large shield and buckler" are fulfilling the prophecy of God through the prophet Ezekiel. Police and military forces employed to physically intimidate and spiritually persecute people, are ultimately used to implement "injurious scheme(s)" against beloved people of God. (38:4,10). The protection these forces provide for the instigators of such scheme(s) (chiefly political leaders with satan's authority) also creates civil unrest, leading to demonstrations by the mob.* (39:11 Moffatt). This is evident by the many injuries and deaths they have incurred worldwide. But when they come up against the "mountains of Israel" (faithful anointed members of His spiritual "land" who have no visible protection) it brings the fury of God upon earth. (38:18,19. 39:1-4). (*"Gog mob": Gog's crowd).

EVIDENCE OF THE FURY OF GOD AGAINST GOG.
Already Gog's crowd in Persia (Iran/Iraq), Ethiopia (Cush), North Africa (Put) and Armenia have been brought to God's Judgement with "pestilence and bloodshed" as prophesied in Ezekiel 38:22 (NEB).

As each new calamity breaks out upon them, the question that should be asked is: Why do their "injurious scheme (s)" expose them to the Judgement of God? The answer: Because Gog's forces have harassed and attacked (with their "jaws". 38:4) those under the "new covenant" of God by His Christ who are still on earth of His 144,000 anointed sons! (Rev 7:4. Heb 8:7 13).

Whether these "injurious scheme(s)" are of their own devising and carried out directly by them, or are in response to injurious schemes of other unGodly organizations, congregations or neighbours: False accusations made by enemies of God against His people are given false credibility in the U.K. when 'Emergency 999' is called to employ the forces of Gog to harass and attack His beloved people, described as putting "hooks in [Gog's] jaws". (38:4). (The number upturned from 666 to 999 has three "hooks"). 666 signifies the political "wild beast" of satan that has "hooks" in its "jaws", is "caught while still alive", and is being turned around to face the Judgement of God. (Rev 19:20). 666 are the years that passed since the inception of Gog's demoncratic "wild beast" rule over all kingly authority on earth. Through the "image" of the "wild beast", dictatorships and demoncracies by the authority of satan "wage war" upon the holy ones. (Rev 13:4-8).

But Almighty God Jehovah intervenes: "And I shall certainly turn you around and put hooks in your jaws and bring you forth with all your military force, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed in perfect taste, a numerous congregation, with large shield and buckler". (38:4). He brings them forth against the beloved people of His spiritual "land" in order to expose them to His Judgement. There is another reason: That He may sanctify His Holy Name and prove His holiness at Gog's expense before the eyes of the nations. (38:16 NEB). Finally, at the end of the "thousand years", Gog (satan) and Magog ('houses' of Gog) will attack and persecute descendants of the beloved people of God to test their faith. Then Gog and Magog will be disposed of: "And the devil who was misleading them was hurled into the lake of fire and sulphur, where both the wild beast and the false prophet already were; and they will be tormented day and night forever and ever." (Rev 20:7 10).
