There is on going talk and speculation that the Gog and Magog war is about to transpire. We hope to show from the following passages that that is quite impossible according to Scripture.

Ezekiel prophesied the war
between Gog and God. "And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, Son of man,
set thy face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy
against him, And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD;
Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech
and Tubal: And I will turn thee back, and put hooks
into thy jaws, and I will bring thee forth, and all thine
army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armour, even a great company with bucklers and shields,
all of them handling swords: Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all of
them with shield and helmet: Gomer, and all his
bands; the house of Togarmah of the north quarters,
and all his bands: and many people with thee. Be thou prepared, and prepare
for thyself, thou, and all thy company that are
assembled unto thee, and be thou a guard unto them. After many days thou shalt
be visited: in the latter years thou shalt come
into the land that is brought back from the sword, and is gathered out
of many people, against the mountains of Israel, which have been always
waste: but it is brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell
safely all of them. Thou shalt ascend and come
like a storm, thou shalt be like a cloud to cover
the land, thou, and all thy bands, and many people with thee. Thus saith the Lord GOD; It shall also come to pass, that at
the same time shall things come into thy mind, and thou shalt think an evil thought: And thou shalt
say, I will go up to the land of unwalled villages;
I will go to them that are at rest, that dwell safely, all of them dwelling
without walls, and having neither bars nor gates, To take a
spoil, and to take a prey; to turn thine hand upon
the desolate places that are now inhabited, and upon the people that are
gathered out of the nations, which have gotten cattle and goods, that dwell
in the midst of the land. Sheba, and Dedan, and the
merchants of Tarshish, with all the young lions
thereof, shall say unto thee, Art thou come to take a spoil? hast thou gathered thy company to take a prey? to carry away silver and gold, to take away cattle and
goods, to take a great spoil?Therefore, son of man,
prophesy and say to Gog, Thus says the Lord God; In that day when my people of |

We believe
Joel also prophesied the same war. “Proclaim ye
this among the Gentiles; Prepare war, wake up the mighty men, let all the men of war
draw near; let them come up: Beat your plowshares into swords, and your pruning hooks into spears: let the weak say, I am
strong. Assemble yourselves, and come, all ye heathen, and gather
yourselves together round about: thither cause thy mighty ones to come down,
O LORD. Let the heathen be wakened, and come up to the |
Notice from these two
Scripture passages what is transpiring. Ezekiel states that
Note also that Joel points out that

Let’s
look at one more Scripture passage to seal the deal. And I saw an
angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great
chain in his hand. And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is
the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years, And cast him into the
bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should
deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and
after that he must be loosed a little season... And when the thousand years
are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison, And shall go out to
deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and
Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand
of the sea. And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the
camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God
out of heaven, and devoured them. (Revelation 20:1-3, 7-9) |
We can know that
the Gog and Magog war is after the 1000 year kingdom age where Jesus Christ
rules and reigns upon the earth.
There is no other
time that
Indeed, after the
1000 year kingdom age a great army will compass about
This information is only to show us what Scripture prophesies comparing Scripture with Scripture. It is our hope and prayer that you are right now a member of the family of God. We pray you have turned your life over to Jesus Christ and received forgiveness of sin through His blood sacrifice for your personal sins. We pray that you are sealed by the Holy Spirit unto Salvation and that when Jesus calls His church home forever you will be gathered up with us to meet the Lord Jesus in the air.
If you have never received Jesus as your personal Savior we encourage you to do so right now. A simple prayer from a heart of faith, the Lord will hear, and you will belong to Him for all eternity. Humble yourself before the Lord and pray something like this. Heavenly Father, I realize that I’m a sinner; I know I can not save myself, and I need your forgiveness. I desire to be a member of the family of God. Jesus, thank you for dying in my place. I receive you as my one and only Savior and with the help of the Holy Spirit who has sealed me right now unto Salvation; I will live the rest of my days for you. Thank you Lord for forgiving me, and for placing me into the body of Christ. In Jesus Name I pray, amen…
Blessings to all who are In Christ Jesus…
