Israel is currently under attack, but its greatest threat is yet to come. In the not-too-distant future, a coalition of overwhelming forces will soon be arrayed against it. Only God can save Israel from total annihilation. In this revealing broadcast, Carl identifies each nation seeking Israel’s destruction. Who exactly are Gog and Magog? Are they leaders, nations, or spiritual entities? Will Russia be involved in this notorious battle? The timing of this battle has been hotly debated down the years, and no-one really knows precisely when it will take place. Join Carl now for this timely broadcast…
Here is a complete transcript of the broadcast (below)…
Friend, there’s a war soon coming in the Middle East that will cause God himself to rain down hailstones and fire upon the invading armies who’ve come to take spoil from God’s beloved Israel and a great earthquake that will annihilate them in their tracks. And what if I were to tell you there are preparations being made right now for this future conflict? But as I’ve said before, we the church will never see it come to pass because this war of ‘Gog and Magog’ fits the prophetic timeline only when the church or restrainer has been removed from the earth prior to the seven year tribulation period. Yet even today, the nations are ready; the pieces on the chess board are being moved into place, causing a chain reaction that will hurl like minded nations headlong into direct conflict with Israel.
Let me now share the source text with you. I’m of course talking about the infamous War of Gog and Magog, spoken of in chapters 38-39 from the prophetic Book of Ezekiel which many of you are familiar with I’m sure. Friend, what are these terms Gog and Magog exactly and what do they represent? What on earth is a Gog and what is a Magog exactly?! Well, they are first and foremost spiritual entities not physical representatives in my opinion. I believe this war is conceived in the spiritual realm firstly and we see the manifestation of its conception in the natural realm. Remember the spiritual realm is the causal realm and the natural realm is the effectual realm. But what’s interesting, is that in my old town of London, England each year there’s a Lord Mayor’s parade ever since the reign of Henry V, in which Gog and Magog, the so called protectors of the city of London are paraded around in effigy. This tradition continues year after year.
In Revelation 20:8, Gog and Magog are identified as they fight on the side of Satan in the very final battle against God. But if you look at the text, they are sent out into the earth to gather nations after the millennial reign of Christ for one last battle just before Satan is cast into the lake of fire. So, I sincerely believe these two names represent spiritual entities that impact physical leaders on this earth and Gog and Magog are akin to the ruling principalities that perhaps the prophet Daniel encountered during his prayer time whilst in Babylonian exile. In scripture, Gog is mentioned as the leader and Magog is a people. Gog is the ruler of a people called Magog and the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal. One day this Gog will lead a coalition of nations arrayed against Israel and God will destroy them all in the process for their rebellious arrogance and misplaced allegiance. Few realize that Ezekiel’s prophecy of this coming invasion from the North of Israel was written 2500 years ago and is yet to come to pass friend, it is still a future event.
This leader Gog will lead a force from the land of Magog. So where is Magog exactly? Well, he’s mentioned in Gen 10:2 as one of the sons of Japheth and again in 1 Chronicles 1:5. Charles Ryrie notes that and I quote, “Magog was identified as the land of the Scythian’s now occupied by Russia, the Ukraine and Kazakhstan.” Now according to Mark Hitchcock the renowned end time biblical scholar, he spent time investigating historical texts, and notable commentators like Flavius Josephus who described the ancient Scythian’s as coming from the land of Magog. The Scythian’s were mentioned in the NT in Col 3:11 and were a barbaric race which inhabited the steps of Russia. Today Magog would basically cover the ‘Stan’ nations i.e. Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan and finally Afghanistan, which is another territory that Russia has sought to, conquer in recent memory.
In addition, Charles Ryrie, Arnold Fruchtenbaum and the Scofield Reference Bible, declare Magog to be the land of modern day Russia and we should not doubt their extensive research. Now most scholars conclude that Rosh is the old name for Russia. Mark Hitchcock also discovered that, the term Rosh was used in the time of the Egyptians and referenced a nation to the far north of Egypt, so people would have been very familiar with Rosh as a nation in the time of Ezekiel and knew exactly what he was talking about. As I said, many believe and I do too, that Rosh is the old name for present day Russia which will lead several armies in coalition against Israel. Regarding the term Gog, Mark goes on to explain that Gog is more likely a title like Pharaoh, rather than a direct name of someone, but this Gog is not to be confused with the Antichrist, he is separate and distinct from him. Let’s not forget friend that the Antichrist will eventually lead a Western coalition of forces but this Gog is leading an army from the north along with Magog in direct opposition to God himself, so the Antichrist and Gog are two separate leaders and not to be confused with each other.
So, I’m going to list for you now, all the nations that will come against Israel in these last days as part of this coalition of forces coming down from the North, described in Ezekiel chapters 38-39. I will give you the old name for the nation and the equivalent modern day version. Starting with Gog the leader of Magog (representing Ukraine and western Russia) along with Rosh, which is Russia, then Meschech and Tubal which comprises of Modern day Turkey, then Persia, also known as Iran, then Ethiopia and Cush which would be Sudan, then Put which is Libya, then Gomer which is likely Turkey or modern day Germany, and finally Beth Togarmah, which manly believe to be Turkey as well. So to summarize, the nations that will invade Israel in the coming tribulation period from the North will be, Russia, Ukraine, Turkey, Iran, Ethiopia, Sudan, and possibly Somalia too, Libya, and finally Germany. But why? Why would they even consider doing such a thing? Well one thing is for certain, Russia has had a long history of antisemitism along with the other nations I just listed for you. They all have historically harbored a supernatural hatred for Israel and that’s why Germany is included on that list as a potential invader in coalition.
Regarding Russia, have you noticed this nation has been on the rise of late? Russia has flexed its muscles recently on the world stage for sure. Firstly, Russia meddled with Georgia in 2008, then again in Crimea in 2014 where it annexed that nation and testing the boundaries of the old Soviet Union. Russia then backed separatists in 2014 in Eastern Ukraine and Russia has also been linked with the deaths of 298 people based upon a Dutch inquiry into the disappearance of a Malaysia Airlines flight over the Ukraine, three years ago. Based on cell phone records and eye witness accounts as part of the investigation, a powerful SA-11 surface to air missile was used to shoot down this plane, much to everyone’s horror.
Then in 2015, Russia sent some armed forces to Iran and then into Syria to assist the Syrian leader Bashar al Assad’s crumbling regime. To top that, for the first time, Russia has finally attained the warm water port of Tarsus in the Mediterranean Sea, which it has yearned for down the centuries. Friend, Russia has a large presence in Syria right now, taking advantage of the nation’s instability and using it to potentially establish a beachhead for further advancement in the Middle East at a time of its choosing. The trouble is Russia now has a military presence situated directly North of Israel for the first time and this is prophetically significant. If you run a straight line from Israel on any globe you will see that Moscow is directly north of it, along with Turkey which will be one of the invading nations also.
Now, some believe this war of Gog and Magog will take place in the first half of the tribulation period, while others believe it to be merely another account of the battle of Armageddon. Yet I personally believe it will occur prior to Armageddon and within the tribulation because it occurs in a time of peace when the peace treaty with Israel is in full effect. Ezekiel chapter 38 describes a time when Israel is at peace with its surrounding neighbors and this coming conflict fits the prophetic timeline of occurring during the tribulation period, once this future peace treaty is in effect.
Now one of the most intriguing aspects of this coming war in verse 4 of Ezekiel 38, is the fact that the army is riding from the north on horseback! Yes horseback! These horsemen have shields, swords and helmets. But of course today no army would fight like that. This intriguing statement infers that perhaps, due to the cataclysmic incidents in the tribulation period, man will revert back to ancient weaponry. Others believe it suggests the usage of an Electro Magnetic Pulse prior to this war, in which some of the modern weaponry would be rendered useless, leaving only ancient weaponry as the means for attack. Or could these terms simply be metaphors for modern weapons? In Ezekiel 39:9-10 it mentions that it will take seven years for the weapons to be gathered and used as fuel. Could this time frame of seven years be coincidental with the time it takes for the effects of radiation to dissipate?…We shall see.
Remember, Israel is described as a land of un-walled villages at this time, a land without walls where Israel dwells safely, without gates or bars. As you know Israel today has walls in place and some built recently for its protection against occasional terror attacks from the Palestinian territory. Based on this scripture we know this War of Gog and Magog is a future event and the walls that currently stand in Israel will be somehow removed and Israel will be living peacefully prior to this Northern invasion.
Now, in verses 12 and 13, it states that these invading marauders have come to take a ‘spoil.’ But what spoil are they talking about? Having worked in the oil industry for nearly 20 years I may have more insight into this than most. In the past few years Israel has gone from a nation with very few oil and gas resources into one that could eventually rival Russia as an exporter of natural gas to Europe. Russia benefits greatly from its export of gas west to Europe topping the list of nations having the most natural gas reserves. But Israel recently discovered the Leviathan gas field 50 kilometers offshore having 22 TCF of gas and scheduled to come online in 2019. Then it has Tamar gas field holding 9 TCF in gas reserves. These discoveries have been described as game changers by those in the oil industry. Their discovery alongside another recent oil field having 1.4 billion barrels of oil has caused a stir on the geopolitical scene. As I’ve said, for the first time, Israel could become a competitor with Russia, vying to service the winter energy supply of the European continent. This is significant. Israel is also abundant in food, technology and other natural resources.
Could it be that Russia and the forces it’s allied with come to strip Israel of its oil and gas resources? You see, Russia is rich in gas but has hard to recover oil that’s only economic at higher oil prices. Did you also know that despite being the biggest country in the world in terms of landmass, Russia has a relatively small population of close to 150 million, yet it imports 40% of its food supply, meaning that it cannot currently produce enough food for its own people? In Ezekiel 38:4 it says that God himself will put hooks in the jaws of the invaders from the North. So friend, what do we do with our jaw primarily? We chew food…I sincerely believe that one of the spoils mentioned in Ezekiel’s passage is food and during the tribulation period crops will no doubt fail throughout Russia which is already reliant upon other countries to feed its population, and will resort to looking for food down south.
Another reason for this hook could well be the desire for Islamic Nations headed up by Russia to wipe Israel off the map. If you review the nations I mentioned earlier they are all largely Islamic and harbor an intense distrust and even hatred for Israel. Could it be that the peace treaty that the Antichrist initiatives with Israel, be thwarted by the Islamic nations at the last minute or perhaps Russia is in such dire need to ensure the survival of its people they need food so badly, justifying an invasion to the south?
Friend, we can debate all day long about what is to come in the near future but by observing Russia’s increasing presence in the Middle East, alarm bells should be going off for us, showing that we are very close to the return of Jesus Christ. The rapture my friend is imminent, meaning it could happen at any time and there are no remaining signs that need to be fulfilled in order for it to transpire. Behold our Lord comes quickly. Get ready my friend and look up, for your redemption draws nigh…

Six Frequently Asked Questions:
1. What are Gog and Magog, and what do they represent in biblical prophecy?
Gog and Magog, as described in Ezekiel 38-39, represent spiritual entities that influence physical leaders and nations. Gog is considered the leader, and Magog refers to the people he leads. In the context of the war described in Ezekiel, these names are linked to a future invasion of Israel by a coalition of nations, with Gog symbolizing the evil leader and Magog representing the region from which he originates. Some contend that Magog represents the ‘stan’ nations of the Middle East, i.e. Uzbekistan, Afghanistan etc.), others cite Russia and Ukraine combined.
2. Will Russia be involved in the Gog and Magog battle?
Yes, many scholars believe Russia is represented by the term “Magog” in biblical prophecy. According to historical and modern interpretations, Magog corresponds to the land of the Scythians, which is now part of modern-day Russia, Ukraine, and Kazakhstan. The war of Gog and Magog is thought to involve Russia as the primary power leading a coalition of nations against Israel in the last days.
3. Is Gog an individual leader or a title for a group of leaders?
Gog is likely a title, similar to “Pharaoh,” rather than the name of a specific individual. It refers to the leader who will command the northern coalition against Israel. While many speculate that this leader may be from Russia, Gog’s role is distinct from the Antichrist, who will lead a different coalition in the battle of Armageddon.
4. What nations will be involved in the Gog and Magog war according to Ezekiel 38-39?
The Bible describes a coalition of nations led by Gog (from the land of Magog, i.e., Russia) that will come against Israel. These nations include:
- Russia (Magog, Rosh)
- Turkey (Meshech, Tubal, Beth Togarmah)
- Iran (Persia)
- Sudan (Ethiopia, Cush)
- Libya (Put)
- Germany or possibly Turkey (Gomer)
- Other potential nations include Somalia and Ukraine.
This coalition will certainly invade Israel in these last days, most likely during the Tribulation period, following the much anticipated peace treaty (Dan 9:27).
5. When is the Gog and Magog battle supposed to occur?
The exact timing of the Gog and Magog battle is hotly debated amongst scholars. However, most believe it will occur before the Battle of Armageddon, during the seven year Tribulation period, specifically after a peace treaty is established with Israel. It is described as occurring in a time when Israel is living in relative peace and security, which makes the invasion even more surprising.
6. Why do Gog and Magog come against Israel?
The motivation behind this invasion is multifaceted. In Ezekiel 38, it is stated that the invading nations are coming to ‘take spoil’ from Israel, particularly Israel’s vast natural resources, including its oil and gas reserves and agriculture. Another reason may be the long-standing animosity and hatred towards Israel, especially from Russia and Islamic nations, which are key players in the Gog and Magog alliance. Additionally, some believe that the invasion is part of a broader desire by these nations to undermine Israel’s sovereignty and to stop God’s plan for the nation.

Question: why does Corinthians say at the last trump the dead in Christ will rise? Also the trumpets of revelation convey great distress on the earth by the last trump? We can not forget the three gospel records all declare immediately after the tribulation Christ shall appear and gather his elect from the 4 corners of the earth.
Please help me to see from the scriptures how Christ gathers his church pre tribulation.
I do acknowledge the church is saved from the wrath to come, but it doesn’t say we are saved from tribulation. What do you see that I can not see. Please help.
Thanks for caring about God’s Word and wanting to go deeper, Cindy. I don’t pretend to have all the answers, but are you willing to do some homework? I’m not sure you are aware of all my other teachings on the rapture , and there are quite a few (Episodes 77-80).
https://carljosephministries.com/podcast/the-last-trump-a-call-to-rapture/
This podcast should answer your very question. There is a difference between the Trump of God, 1st Cor 15 and the trumpet of the angel mentioned in Revelation.
I greatly enjoyed your podcast. Though posted last year, you have been prophetically on point with current affairs. I give God glory for your life and ministry and totally admire your thorough teaching. May God continue to bless you immensely🙏🏽
Cindy, let me see if i can explain alittle maybe this will help…Just as God warned Noah in time yo build the ark before he destroyed all in the world..He will also warn his church …As he sent the angel to tell lot to take his family and sarah. to Run and not look back, He slso will warn us…to run dont look back, dont go home, dont gather nothing, you wont have that time to worry or grab things, …as the bible teaches us that God will provide gir us…He will not send us in the dessert to starve, or thirst, or not be clothed…but we sre to be prepared…By having our ears, and eyes, as well as our hearts snd mind open so we will hear the trumpets, and see the changes of the Antichrist, and our mind open to know when its time to run……i really pray this is a correct way to help you understand…i pray that our lord and savior be with all ehen this time comes….
saludos Lee Mateo 24, los dolores de parto, Mateo 25 parabola de las virgenes, la parabola de los invitados a las bodas, Juan 14 donde dice que Jesús vendra por los suyos y se los llevará consigo, Apocalipsis 4 donde Jesus le dice a Juan sube aca (al cielo), es una figura del rapto de la iglesia-Juan el apostol amado representa a la Iglesia y se lo dice antes de que empiece al tribulación y la gran tribulación, es posible que ya estan los 4 jinetes del apocalipsis (que son los 4 primeros sellos) es causando estragos en la tierra los 4 caballos, es una visión celestial con consecuencias en la tierra, que se estan reuniendo las almas de los martires bajo el altar de templo de Dios en el cieloque es el 5o sello, porque hay una persecusión de Cristianos muertyos por toda Africa, Asia y Europa y es muy probable que estan juntandose las condiciones para que suceda (visión celestial que ocurre en el cielo no en la tierra), la profecía de una guerra de Ezequiel 38 y 39 y Apocalipsis 6:12-17 respecto al sexto sello. Lee con calma y pide al Espíritu Santo de Dios te revele su palabra. Ante todo lo que esta sucediendo en el mundo el caos que se esta viviendo con las guerras militares y políticas y económicas, nacion vs nación y reino vs. reino, Jesús no dejará que l iglesia pase por toda esta tribulación, asi qué Jesús El Salvador y Resucitado), está próimo a llamar a su iglesía para que suba al cielo (será gente que haya creido en el y haya echo a Jesus su Señor y Salvador, que se ha preparado y consagrado para él….) , eso se llama el Rapto Bíblico, muchas bendiciones
Translation from Spanish to English…
Greetings. Read Matthew 24—the birth pains—and Matthew 25—the Parable of the Ten Virgins and the Parable of the Wedding Guests. Read John 14, where it states that Jesus will come for His own and take them with Him. Read Revelation 4, where Jesus tells John, “Come up here” (to heaven); this serves as a picture of the Rapture of the Church—John, the Beloved Apostle, represents the Church, and Jesus speaks these words to him *before* the Tribulation and the Great Tribulation begin. It is possible that the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse (which constitute the first four seals) are already present, with their four horses wreaking havoc upon the earth; this is a heavenly vision with earthly consequences. It appears that the souls of the martyrs are gathering beneath the altar in God’s temple in heaven—this constitutes the fifth seal—because a persecution of Christians is resulting in deaths across Africa, Asia, and Europe; it is highly probable that the conditions for this event are currently converging (a heavenly vision that takes place in heaven, not on earth). Also, consider the prophecy of war in Ezekiel 38 and 39, and Revelation 6:12–17 regarding the sixth seal. Read these passages calmly, and ask the Holy Spirit of God to reveal His Word to you. In light of everything currently unfolding in the world—the chaos being experienced through military, political, and economic conflicts, with “nation rising against nation, and kingdom against kingdom”—Jesus will not allow the Church to endure the entirety of this Tribulation. Therefore, Jesus (our Savior and the Risen One) is imminent in calling His Church to ascend to heaven (this will consist of those who have believed in Him, accepted Jesus as their Lord and Savior, and prepared and consecrated themselves for Him). This event is known as the Biblical Rapture. Many blessings to you.
Hello,
I am MUSOMBWA Michel, from D. R. Congo, in Central Africa.
This article is interresting. I would like to be updated regularly on how current events fulfill Bibles prophecy.
What you ignore – ONLY THOSE WHO OBEY GOD ARE FOLLOWERS OF GOD!! God has never given Israel a free pass to do as it wishes. You all have just taken Zionism by its claim that it is exacting the will of God in the Holy Land. HAVE DISCERNMENT!! Has Zionism obeyed God? Ever? NO! Zionists, have never obeyed the laws enacted after the horrors of the Holocaust AND have never obeyed the explicit instructions and terms of God in the Holy Land. Zionists have rejected their Jewish traditions of exemplifying God’s goodness and righteousness to the world to instead follow their barbaric EASTERN EUROPEAN AND RUSSIAN TRADITIONS to declare themselves superior, above the law, claim everything for themselves, slaughter, steal, torment, mutilate, and sadisticly oppress the Holy Land for decades!! All the lawless, arrogant Western powers join and support Zionists in their brutality and terrorism of the poor, sojourners, widows, and fatherless that God loves. Zionists are GOG OF MAGOG!! Modern Babylon, the Western nations led by the USA, have funded and supported Gog in its brutalization of the vulnerable people that God required for the Hebrews to care and protect. Zionists have led Christians and Jewish people into complete rebellion against God. “Thus says the Lord: Do justice and righteousness, and deliver from the hand of the oppressor him who has been robbed. And do no wrong or violence to the resident alien, the fatherless, or the widow, nor shed innocent blood in this place.. but if you will not hear these words, I swear by myself, saith the Lord, that this house shall become a desolation.” JEREMIAH 22:3-5. DESOLATION IS COMING TO ZIONISTS. Promised by God. Should’ve obeyed God rather than follow Israeli fascism and terrorism. Repent!! Follow God rather than Gog!!
Jessica,
You are obviously knowledgeable regarding the current situation surrounding ‘zionism’ as you put it, but we must concern ourselves with what God says about Israel in his Holy Word, above all other viewpoints.
Starting with Genesis 15:18, God gave Isreal a land grant from the river Nile to the Euphrates, which He will fulfill during the 1000 yr Millennial reign of Christ. Just to be clear, to be on the side opposing Isreal, is to oppose God himself, (Jehovah that is). Not every decision made by the Israeli government is the right one either. But remember who started the conflict…Hamas.
The real conflict of antiquity commenced, when Ishmael was cast out of the camp, when Jacob grabbed the heel of Esau, when the Jordanians under the Moabites and Ammonites, dealt harshly with their distant cousins Israel, and on and on. This has been going on for thousands of years and will soon end. Here is God’s promise:
Genesis 15:18–21
“18 In the same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates:
19 The Kenites, and the Kenizzites, and the Kadmonites,
20 And the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Rephaims,
21 And the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Girgashites, and the Jebusites.”
All the ‘ite’ boys mentioned therein, comprise of those who still presently occupy the region of Palestine, which is a term given by Brits, for that region, albeit was never an historical moniker for that region, which is largely known as the land of the Philistines. Gaza meaning strong city is the land of the Philistines, who originally hailed from Crete. Their abdominal practices resulted in God judging their city several times in the Old Testament. Their remnant is still there along with the remnant of Israel.
On Oct. 7, 2023, a barrage of rockets ricocheted as Hamas militants stormed Gaza and other nearby Israeli towns, killing dozens and abducting others in a surprise attack. The Hamas’ cross-border attack in the Gaza Strip killed 1,200 Israelis and took 250 others hostage. The Hamas-led militants killed some 1,200 people, mostly civilians, in an attack in southern Israel and took around 250 hostage. Some 100 are still held, around 65 of whom are believed to be alive, according to AP.
Hamas is a terrorist organization which does not represent the people of Palestine, especially when Hamas sends rockets from civilian locations, knowing full well, they will slaughter innocents when the Israelis respond in like kind.
Jessica, I am praying for you, that your eyes would be opened to ‘both sides’ of the argument, which incorporates the word of God.
I wish you all the very best in your pursuit for truth.
Sincerely,
Couple od problems. Romans named Judea “palestine” 136 Ad after a revolt to wipe their name from memory.
And Germany aligned with Russia?
Thats never going to happen.
Remember. Even so, come
Read Revelation 3:9. If you truly believe that current day Israel are God’s people, I’m going to pray for you.
CJ,
You ask a great question, but unfortunately you have not honored the basic aspect of biblical interpretation, which is context, context, context.
The mention of Jews in Revelation 3:9, refers to Jews in the CHURCH age, or Jews persecuting the church of Philadelphia at that time, specifically (1st and 2nd century AD). This phrase (Synagogue of Satan) was granted to Jews who opposed the church in its infancy and at the time it was penned. Their misguided zeal and love of the law of Moses was Satanically inspired as the dispensation of the church age and Grace, was well underway, in a post-cross world, thanks to Christ’s atoning sacrifice.
The Philadelphia church was praised by Christ, with no condemnation. They suffered persecution from Judaizers no doubt. The church at Smyrna also suffered similar persecution. The 10 tribes of Israel have been lost to time, but the Jewish remnant has certainly not. It is alive and well in present day Israel, a direct fulfillment of prophecy.
https://carljosephministries.com/podcast/the-dangers-of-judaism/
The rapture door is opened in Rev 4, and the church is no longer mentioned, after the Apostle John (a church member) is called to ‘Come up hither”. Some scholars portend the Philadelphia church to be that of (1798-1866 A.D.) and they equate the letters to the seven churches as ‘ages’ or ‘time periods’ of church dispensation. This is something man has placed in to scripture as the Book of Revelation does not explicitly infer letters to churches in time periods, nonetheless there are some interesting parallels if we accept the epoch view.
It is wrong to presume that all Jews in Israel today are of the ‘Synagogue of Satan.’ This is an antisemitic claim and frankly disturbing. Satan is the author of confusion, dissension and division. This false claim has his fingerprints all over it. Satan hates Israel and he hates the church.
God restoring Israel is a direct fulfillment of scripture outlined in Ezekiel 36 and 37 and His promise to return his people to the Levant. Particularly Ezekiel 36:8-15. Jesus is coming soon! And I pray the eyes of your understanding be enlightened (Eph 1:18).
https://carljosephministries.com/12-signs-of-christs-return/
Sincerely,
As we who were implanted after the plucking out of isreal need to.interceed for the salvation of Israel than being part of the cartel that wishes evil for Israel however,the starving people in Gaza need mercy just as God had compassion on Hagar with his son ismael when they were starving to the blink of death
Jimmy,
I wasn’t sure what your point is?
Our ministry is not wishing evil on Israel. We do not advocate Replacement Theology, either. In addition, not every decision the Israeli administration makes today is righteous or godly. The starving people in Gaza need to be helped and interceded for and thank God ministries are helping those people. And yes, God is compassionate on Ishmael’s lineage, no doubt.
However, if the leaders of Ishmael send rockets from civilian homes to hide their nefarious agenda, and Israel fires back, what then? War is a tricky business, and the common man is always the innocent casualty.
The current conflict began when Hamas attacked a music festival and killed innocent Jews in cold blood. Many were taken hostage and killed at point-blank range. Doesn’t Israel have the right to retaliate when its children are slain? Ishmael would likely say yes.
Keep up the good work in Uganda!

. Muy interesante el artículo que claramente nos dice quien es Magog y Og y que naciones aglutinan para invadir AL AMADO Y BENDECIDO PUEBLO DE ISRAEL… Según las profecías de Ezequiel, no podrán detener el Plan de Dios sobre Israel y el. Mundo Cristiano…
Oswaldo,
Estoy totalmente de acuerdo. Dios tiene un plan especial para Israel; es la niña de sus ojos (Lam 2:18). El Libro de Ezequiel, en efecto, garantiza el legado de Israel a lo largo de todo el período de la gran tribulación de siete años, perseverando hasta el final y presenciando la segunda venida de Cristo. Lamentablemente, Israel deberá soportar el tiempo de la angustia de Jacob (Jer 30:7), pero a pesar de aceptar al Anticristo por un breve período, finalmente reconocerá que aquel a quien traspasaron es verdaderamente su Mesías (Cristo).
¿Podría decirme en qué país reside actualmente?
Que Dios le bendiga y gracias por su aportación.
As at Saturday 21 March 2026, amid Israel-US Iran war escalation when Korea’s President was calling the middle east nations to form an alliance with his country, and as Iran’s President was pleading with the middle east nations for cooperation and alliance, it means we are much nearer than ever before to rapture and the fulfillment of the prophecies in Ezekiel 38 & 39.
Yes Doctor Mukaila, I agree. This conflict could well be the pre-cursor to the allegiant nation states in opposition to Israel in the absence of the United States as a major player on the world scene, due to its marginalization by the rapture of the church. We are closer to Christ’s return than many realize. Thanks for sharing. May I kindly ask which part of the world you reside?
God Bless.
All what i could have said is ‘May Allah Guide you to the right bath of Islam’
Abdi, although you may claim to be an honest man, you are in fact deceived. Allah or al-Ilah can be traced to llah the South Arabian moon god. Is it any coincidence that a crescent moon is depicted on all nations which serve this deity, demanding others to ‘submit’ to Islam, which is the Arabic term for submission (Islam). Islam is effectively worship of the creation, not the creator.
Have you read the Qur’an yourself? In your own religious text, Allah is described as the ‘god of this world,’ or ‘lord of worlds’ (Qur’an 1:1) which correlates with 2nd Corinthians 4:4, describing Satan, as the god of this world.
Qur’an 3:54 also describes Allah as a deceiver: “And they deceived, and Allah deceived. And Allah is the best deceiver.”
Qur’an 35:8 states it is Allah’s pleasure to lead people astray…”…So surely Allah leads astray whom he wills and guides whom he wills.” This is surely wicked.
Qur’an 38:85 and 11:119 both state that Allah desires to fill hell with people:
85…”surely I will fill hell from you and from those who followed you from among them together. 119 …“I will surely fill hell with the jinn and the people together.”
Further passages in the Qur’an go on to describe Allah as spreading hate, a schemer, randomly wrathful, and a seducer. This is NOT the god of the Bible but Lucifer, the god of this world.
Rev 20:10 describes the devil as a deceiver, he is a father of lies and was a liar from the beginning.
If by the off chance you are inferring my response claims Allah to be Satan, then you are one hundred percent correct.

It’s very much awaking to the children of God that there is no other time and time is not on anyone’s side be it if they still want to play around. It may seems or sound political bit as a children of God we know that this is a spiritual battle signaling the end of time.
Extremely interesting!
