In
Jeremiah, God prophesied to him, but God never really told him the result because
the result was determined by the decisions of the men that Jeremiah talked too.
God’s actions were determined by rather the men repented from their evil ways
or not. Jeremiah prophesied that way, but Ezekiel didn’t. God called Ezekiel to
be a watchman for Israel, and there’s a certain process that a watchman had to
do—details in Ezekiel 3:16-21. They were to warn the people and/or person,
prepare the people and/or person, and wait to see the results of what happens.
Well, I
don’t know what it’s going to take for God’s people to wake up, and return to
Him. God desires His bride, and she needs to make herself ready for her
Husband. When will she wake up and realize this calling is still a mystery,
there’s much in-fighting and spiritual wars because we still ask the question:
“Whose the greatest?” I contend that no one is the greatest except Christ who
chose to come as a man to die for us! He chose to be a slave in the flesh to
condemn sin in the flesh—according to Paul in Philippians.
Thus, why
would God reveal the truth to us babes? Deuteronomy 29:29: “the secret things
belong unto the LORD our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto
us and to our children for ever, that we may do all the words of this law.”
God had revealed this so that His people would see, be at awe, and, most
importantly, repent! God wants His people to repent and return to the
Law of Moses, which the founders of America graciously considered to be the law
of the Republic: Liberty in Law. Not only does God want His people to repent
and keep the law of God; He wants us to return to Jesus Christ His Son: “For
the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ” (John
1:17). You cannot know the spiritual intent of the law of Moses without God
revealing that to you through Jesus Christ, the Son of God: “think not that I
am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy but to
fulfill (Give full meaning or spiritual intent)” (Matthew 5:17).
The
spiritual intent of the reason why the War of Gog and Magog has to happen in
today’s time in history can only be given to us from the LORD Jesus Christ
Himself. I can go through some scriptures to reveal the truth as the LORD
showed it to me. First is from Mathew 23:37-39:
37
“O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the one who kills the prophets and stones those who
are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, as a hen
gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing! 38 See!
Your house is left to you desolate; 39 for I say to you, you shall see Me no
more till you say, ‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the
LORD!’”
What Jesus
is saying in this passage is pretty simple. The second temple will be desolate,
and Jesus will not see Jerusalem until God’s people sing the verse from Psalm
118:26 to Him. He was speaking about Jews at the time. Notice the verse in Psalm 118:26:
“Blessed
is he that comes in the name
Of the LORD!
We have
blessed you from the house
Of
the LORD.”
Did you
notice that Jesus only quoted half the scripture when he was talking about
never seeing Jerusalem again? The other half of the same verse talked about the
house of the LORD—which is the temple. If Jesus said that the temple in the day
of his earthly ministry was to be desolate and that He would not return to
Jerusalem unless there’s God’s Jewish people in Jerusalem blessing Him from the temple
(as the rest of psalm 118:26 implies), then Jesus must have known about a third
temple that must be built before His second coming. The details and design of
the temple were laid out in Ezekiel chapters 40 – 48—Ezekiel 39 is the ending
of the War of Gog and Magog. Chapter 40 of Ezekiel must be a new beginning with
the building of the third Temple in Jerusalem.
Now, what does all this have to do with the
War of Gog and Magog? Simple, two important things must take place before His
return: 1. there must be a revival of God’s true church combined with once
blinded Jews that would bless Jesus Christ, and 2. there will be a Temple built
to bless Him from. This will come into full effect after Gog and Magog is fulfilled: Ezekiel 39:29. The first is happening in
America. There has to be a
spiritual revival in the Jewish communities of America and Israel too. There are Messianic Jews in Both countries--especially the Messianics in New Jersey. Those Messianic Jews blew the Shofar in New York city at America's Gate before 9/11 happened.
