J. Harbuck posted this: What do you think? Psalm 83 and Ezekiel 38 Wars Compared As we get closer to the end, we more clearly understand the ancient prophecies of the last days. There are three great wars spoken of in the last days. The final war is of course Armageddon in which the God of Israel brings into the great and final judgment all the nations who opposed Him in his restoration of the nation of Israel. The other war is the great war of Ezekiel 38 in which God judges specific nations led by Russia (Magog) and Iran (Persia). Its astounding how the prophet Ezekiel, over 2,400 years ago was able to state which countries would be specifically allied against Israel in the last days. What has only been revealed in recent years, however, is that there is another war that will precede both of these. Bible scholars noticed that in the lineup of nations listed in the Ezekiel 38 war, none of Israels immediate neighbors are listed. This is especially interesting in light of the fact that at the present, the violence being perpetrated against Israel is coming from those immediate neighbors, the so-called Palestinians. If the chief trouble-makers of today are NOT listed in the great Ezekiel 38 war, why not? scholars have asked. The reason is obvious. The Lord is going to judge those immediate neighbors of Israel BEFORE the great war of Ezekiel 38. Lets take a look at the nations listed. Ezekiel 38: Russia, Iran, Turkey, Libya, Sudan Breakdown: Gog of the uttermost parts of the north, is Russia. If you take a ruler and start at Jerusalem going north, the line goes right through Moscow The land of Magog: Southern Russia near the Black Sea Meshech: the area where the borders of Russia, Iran, and Turkey merge Tubal: central Turkey Persia: Iran Ethiopia of that day is now called Sudan Libya: present-day Libya Gomer and Togarmah: parts of Turkey The north Africa nations: Cush: Sudan and Ethiopia Put: part of Libya, Algeria, Tunisia Many peoples with you: most likely the other Islamic nations Psalm 83 The present-day Palestinians, the immediate neighbors of Israel: Lebanon, Jordan, Syria, Saudi Arabia, Egypt Breakdown: The tents of Edom: Palestinians of the West Bank and southern Jordan The Ishmaelites: Saudi Arabia, Syria Moab: central Jordan The Hagarites: Egypt Gebal: northern Lebanon Ammon: northern Jordan and part of Syria Amaleks descendants are in Egypt, Syria, Saudi Arabia Philistia: Palestinians from Gaza, south into Egypt Tyre: southern Lebanon (which Hezbollah controls now) Assyria: Syria and northern Iraq Lot’s descendants: Jordan Its amazing that the Bible was able to state with such accuracy the alliances that would be formed thousands of years later.
