Ever
hear of Gog and Magog? I am sure that you have and that you know that the Gog
Magog alliance will be a big player in the end times. Well look what popped up
in the news the other day (HT Karen).
Russia,
through Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, has asked to enter the Cooperation
Council of Turkish-speaking countries, or "Turkish Council"…
Russia's
hegemony passes through the strategic alliance with Ankara and the elimination
of internal extremist risks…
In
other words, it controls all the 'minorities of the Turkish-born peoples'.
The
ultimate goal is to transform the "Turkish Union" into a new CIS,
Commonwealth of Independent States.
If he
doesn't enter with the right to vote then we'll be talking about a hybrid of
the "Pan-Slavic Muslim Army"

And
we have this;
On 28
and 29 October, a summit of Turkish-speaking countries took place in Baku
during which it was agreed to create the "Turan Army", the Russian
newspaper reports.
"The
Ankara plan includes a Federation extending from Turkey to Mongolia and
Siberia. This is a new Ottoman Empire," stresses a Russian analyst.

IMHO
we are looking at prophecy unfolding before our eyes—the formation of the
Gog-Magog alliance.
And
of what importance is the Gog-Magog alliance? Here is an excerpt from The Coming Epiphany about Gog-Magog and the wars they will be involved in.
War of Gog-Magog
There
is another end-times war we need to examine. This war, recorded in Ezekiel
38–39 and other parts of scripture, is often called the War of Gog-Magog. In
this war, the nations identified as Gog and Magog will attempt destroy Israel
and will suffer a terrible defeat. The identity of these nations is debated,
and ranges from Northern Egypt and Libya to Russia, but the consensus seems to
be that this will be a Muslim/Russian
attack against Israel.
When
will this war take place? This war will most likely start after the antichrist
takes over the world and will be a reigniting of WWIII after the false peace of
the antichrist breaks down. There are several verses in Ezekiel that show that
the final destruction of this war will occur on the day of the Lord. Ezekiel
38:18-20, for example, says that on the day of the destruction of Gog and
Magog, there will be a great shaking in all the earth.
And it shall come to pass at the same time when Gog shall come
against the land of Israel, saith the Lord God, that my fury shall come up in
my face. For in my jealousy and in the fire of my wrath have I spoken, surely
in that day there shall be a great shaking in the land of Israel. So
that the fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the heaven, and the beasts of the
field, and all creeping things that creep upon the earth, and all the men that are upon the face of the earth, shall shake at my
presence, and the mountains
shall be thrown down, and the steep places shall fall, and every wall shall
fall to the ground.
This
great earthquake coincides precisely with one of the events of the sixth seal
and the Day of the Lord. “And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and,
lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of
hair, and the moon became as blood” (Rev. 6:12). The passage goes on to further
describe this earthquake, which is so severe that all the mountains and islands
are moved out of their places. This coordinates precisely with the Ezekiel
passage above that says “and the mountains shall be thrown down, and the steep
places shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground.”
There
is another event listed in Ezekiel concerning the Gog – Magog war that shows
that this war culminates with the Day of the Lord event. Consider this verse
from Eze. 39:4: “Thou shalt fall upon the mountains
of Israel, thou, and all thy bands, and the people that is with thee: I will
give thee unto the ravenous birds of every sort, and to the beasts of the field
to be devoured.” This passage tells us that “ravenous birds of every
sort” will eat the defeated armies of the Gog-Magog war. Where else do we see
birds eating the flesh of dead bodies? Jesus spoke about it in Luke 17:34-37
and Matt 24:25-28 in connection with the rapture:
I tell you, in that night there shall be two men in one bed; the
one shall be taken, and the other shall be left. Two women shall be grinding
together; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Two men shall be in the
field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. And they answered and said
unto him, Where, Lord? And he said unto them, Wheresoever the body is, thither
will the eagles be gathered together.
Behold, I have told you before. Wherefore if they shall say unto
you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret
chambers; believe it not. For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and
shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. For
wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together.
The
three passages above describing the birds eating the flesh of dead bodies links
the end of the Gog – Magog war, the rapture, and the Day of the Lord all
together. Thus, after the antichrist takes control of the world and begins
ruling from Jerusalem, WWIII will be reignited and he will be involved in a
great war that will leave his enemies totally defeated. This is how the people
on earth respond to his victory. “And they worshipped the dragon which gave
power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto
the beast? who is able to make war with him?” (Rev. 13:4) As already discussed
his defeat over these nations is probably recorded in scripture as the three
horns that will be plucked up. This is most likely when America/Babylon will
also suffer her first destruction. Revelation 17:16 gives us some very
pertinent information about this. “And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the
beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and
shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.” This passage tells us that the
whore (end-times Babylon as identified in Rev. 17:5) is destroyed by the 10
horns, or the 10 spheres of influence of the New World Order. These 10 spheres
of influence have to be established, and in power when the destruction takes
place.
Here
are some more verses that help us narrow down the timing of the destruction of
end-times Babylon.
And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and
with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with
great admiration. (Rev.
17:6)
And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and
of all that were slain upon the earth. (Rev. 18:24)
These
verses tell us that one of the reasons that end-times Babylon is destroyed is
because it is guilty of causing the persecution and martyrdom of believers. The
worldwide persecution and martyrdom of believers starts after the opening of
the fifth seal. “And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord,
holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on
the earth?” (Rev. 7:10) Thus, these verses suggest that end-times Babylon will
be destroyed after the fifth seal begins. Jeremiah 50:13 gives us another clue
as to the timing of the destruction of America.
Your mother shall be sore confounded; she that bare you shall be
ashamed: behold, the hindermost of the nations shall be a wilderness, a dry
land, and a desert. Because of the wrath
of the Lord it shall not be inhabited, but it shall be wholly desolate:
every one that goeth by Babylon shall be astonished, and hiss at all her
plagues. Put yourselves in array against Babylon round about: all ye that bend
the bow, shoot at her, spare no arrows: for she hath sinned against the Lord.
These
verses tell us that the destruction of end times Babylon will occur as part of
the wrath of God. Jeremiah 51, a chapter regarding the destruction of end-times
Babylon, tells us that one of the reasons that end times Babylon is destroyed
is because strangers have entered the sanctuary, even the most holy place. “We
are confounded, because we have heard reproach: shame hath covered our faces:
for strangers are come into the sanctuaries of the Lord's house.” (Jer 51:51)
Of course we know that will happen at the Abomination of Desolation. Thus this
places the destruction of America to occur after the Abomination of Desolation.
Isaiah 13 narrows the timing down farther and shows us that the destruction to
end times Babylon will occur after the opening of the sixth seal.
The burden of Babylon, which Isaiah the son of Amoz did see…They
come from a far country, from the end of heaven, even the Lord, and the weapons
of his indignation, to destroy the whole land. Howl ye; for the day of the Lord
is at hand; it shall come as a destruction from the Almighty. Therefore shall
all hands be faint, and every man's heart shall melt: And they shall be afraid:
pangs and sorrows shall take hold of them; they shall be in pain as a woman
that travaileth: they shall be amazed one at another; their faces shall be as
flames. Behold, the day of the Lord cometh, cruel both with wrath and fierce
anger, to lay the land desolate: and he shall destroy the sinners thereof out
of it. For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall not give
their light: the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall
not cause her light to shine. And I will punish the world for their evil, and
the wicked for their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to
cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible. I will make a man more
precious than fine gold; even a man than the golden wedge of Ophir. Therefore I
will shake the heavens, and the earth shall remove out of her place, in the
wrath of the Lord of hosts, and in the day of his fierce anger… And Babylon,
the glory of kingdoms, the beauty of the Chaldees' excellency, shall be as when
God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah. It shall never be inhabited, neither shall it
be dwelt in from generation to generation: neither shall the Arabian pitch tent
there; neither shall the shepherds make their fold there. But wild beasts of
the desert shall lie there; and their houses shall be full of doleful
creatures; and owls shall dwell there, and Satyrs shall dance there. And the
wild beasts of the islands shall cry in their desolate houses, and dragons in
their pleasant palaces: and her time is near to come, and her days shall not be
prolonged.
Putting
all of these verses together tell us that the destruction of end-times Babylon
will occur after the Abomination of Desolation, after the sixth seal is opened,
and as part of the wrath of God. We know that God’s wrath starts after the
rapture at the Day of the Lord. Therefore we can place the destruction of
end-times Babylon/America to occur after the rapture. It is possible that this
destruction occurs at the same time that Gog and Magog are destroyed.
Another
interesting verse that we should consider, which may connect the Gog-Magog war
with the destruction of end-times Babylon, is Eze. 39:6. It says: “And I will
send a fire on Magog, and among them that dwell carelessly in the isles: and
they shall know that I am the Lord.” This verse indicates that God will not
only allow Gog and Magog to be destroyed by fire, but also those that dwell
carelessly in the isles.
Isaiah
47:1-9 also talks about the destruction to end-times Babylon and makes the
connection with the “careless dwellers.”
Come down, and sit in the dust, O virgin daughter of Babylon,
sit on the ground: there is no throne, O daughter of the Chaldeans: for thou
shalt no more be called tender and delicate…for thou shalt no more be called,
The lady of kingdoms…And thou saidst, I shall be a lady for ever: so that thou
didst not lay these things to thy heart, neither didst remember the latter end
of it. Therefore hear now this, thou that art given to pleasures, that dwellest carelessly, that sayest in
thine heart, I am, and none else beside me; I shall not sit as a widow, neither
shall I know the loss of children: But these two things shall come to thee in a moment in one day, the loss of
children, and widowhood: they shall come upon thee in their perfection for the
multitude of thy sorceries, and for the great abundance of thine enchantments.
This
passage refers to the inhabitants of end-times Babylon as those “that dwell
carelessly.” This may connect the destruction that end-times Babylon/America
will receive after the rapture, with the Gog/Magog war.
Putting It All
Together
Let’s
put all the pieces of the puzzle together and come up with a comprehensive
“most probable” picture of major end times events. The 70th Week of
Daniel may begin silently—without the occurrence of a major event—or it may
begin with the signing of the peace treaty. The first four seals will be opened
sometime during the 70th Week before the abomination of desolation.
With the opening of the first seal the NWO starts to take over the world, seals
2, 3, and 4 unleash WWIII, economic collapse, famine, death, etc. on the world.
As a result of these tribulations the world will lay in ruins with ¼ of its
population now dead. The antichrist/false Messiah comes onto the scene with the
solutions to the world’s problems, including a peace treaty, and if the
Illuminati plan is followed, this will occur 91 days after WWIII starts. He
will then perform the Abomination of Desolation, at which Israel is commanded
to flee. He will then take over the world on day 1260 and institute the mark of
the beast, and begin persecuting Jews and Christians (Seal 5). A short time
later the temporary peace will break down and WWIII will be reignited and the
Gog-Magog war will begin. The rapture will occur just prior to the end of this
war, which will begin the Day of the Lord period. This war will destroy three
of the 10 spheres of influence — namely, Russia and her allies (the king of the
North), Egypt and her allies (the king of the South), and America/Babylon. The
antichrist will then be the supreme ruler of the world, with no one to stand in
the way of his dictatorship. See the chart entitled “The Afflictions of the 70th Week” for a pictorial
representation of this data…
Concerning
the topics of WWIII, the Gog-Magog war, and the destruction of end-times
Babylon and associated events: putting them in a timeline has been one of the
most challenging things that I have wrestled with so far. There are many
theories regarding these future events. Am I confident that I have put all the
pieces of this part of the end-times puzzle together correctly? No, I am not,
for as scripture says “For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to
face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known” (1
Cor. 13:12). There will be many events that will come into play during the end-times,
to put them all together correctly is a daunting task that has bewildered many
a more scholarly man than myself for years. What I have tried to do is take an
honest and hard look at what all the scriptures teach—not just a select few—and
come up with a scenario in which none of the many scriptures are contradicted.
What I have just outlined before you is the result.
