aww but you have too look at another passage in revelation and daniel, and even What Christ said.

1. the abomination which makes desolate. Spoke of by Daniel, Warned of by Christ,
2. As Christ said, run to the hills, As daniel and revelation says, God will protect them (the roman hourde powered by satan can not touch them, so he goes after her offspring)

so while I agree Israel is not fully restored in her land before Ez 38, She is protected.


again, it is at the end of Ez 39 that she is fully restored. which would be the beginning of the 1000 years

The AOD that Jesus referred to when He said to look at what Daniel said has not happened yet.
This is brought on by the man of sin ( antichrist ), and he has not come into power yet. It also is not what happened back in 70 AD.

You people have IgnoretheOPosis. BUT, okay, Israel is dwelling safely before Gog and Magog, not protected, with the occasional slip-up by God when the rockets rain down. Israel is not wondering everyday when the next war comes, where Ezekiel 38 per-Gog begins. Israel is at rest and safe. You gots me repeatin' mahself!

lol.. That can not be so, Israel is still in sin.

Ez 39 makes it clear. that Israel repents BECAUSE of God and Magog (that particular war) It also says the gentiles now know God is the God of Israel, because he restores them to the nation, and takes them from the hand of the gentiles.

That is why it can not be a complete restoration. Most likely (like today) there are still alot of jews in gentile control because of her sin.

Ezek 39: [SUP]22 [/SUP]So the house of Israel shall know that I am the Lord their God from that day forward. [SUP]23 [/SUP]The Gentiles shall know that the house of Israel went into captivity for their iniquity; because they were unfaithful to Me, therefore I hid My face from them. I gave them into the hand of their enemies, and they all fell by the sword. [SUP]24 [/SUP]According to their uncleanness and according to their transgressions I have dealt with them, and hidden My face from them.”’

[SUP]25 [/SUP]“Therefore thus says the Lord God: ‘Now I will bring back the captives of Jacob, and have mercy on the whole house of Israel; and I will be jealous for My holy name— [SUP]26 [/SUP]after they have borne their shame, and all their unfaithfulness in which they were unfaithful to Me, when they dwelt safely in their own land and no one made them afraid. [SUP]27 [/SUP]When I have brought them back from the peoples and gathered them out of their enemies’ lands, and I am hallowed in them in the sight of many nations, [SUP]28 [/SUP]then they shall know that I am the Lord their God, who sent them into captivity among the nations, but also brought them back to their land, and left none of them captive any longer.

That does not fit either because the prince is in reference to the man of sin ( antichrist ).
The reason being is because Titus did not want the temple destroyed, his men disobeyed him in destroying it, so if Titus was the prince prophesied about then he would have ordered the destruction but he did not.

The prince is the future leader of rome,

And daniel says he will destroy the city and sanctuary, What titus wanted does not matter, He did it, and fulfilled the prophesy, Titus and his army was the people, the prince who is to come is antichrist.

Then the flood of wars and desolation (or as Jesus called them, wars and rumors of wars) will continue until a time determined.

THEN someone confirms a covenant with many for one week, only to break that covenant in the middle with the abomination of desolation jesus spoke of.

Alright, then, the geography thing. If that best selling paperback book you can get for only $15 that says Gog and Magog is upon us, because Russia invaded Crimea, where are Israel's Muslim near neighbors in the Gog coalition? Could it possibly be that, with the millennium, Islam is done dead, period, not your Daddy's map, either, at the time of Gog and Magog?

It is the ONLY explanation that deals with both peace and safety, as well as the weapons issue! But it seems to have its problems, then again, not the huge warts of the Christian pop culture explanations.

(I'm grogged in Gog! We should maybe not even talk about animal sacrifice in Ezekiel's temple...)
why not talk about animal sacrifice in "Ezekiel's temple"? if anyone is placing this Armageddon after a "millennium" they have a problem. don't they. they have double trouble.

it's actually so simple. but it can't be explained to someone with their mind made up by someone else (false teachers). Revelation simply retells the same story over and over.

It was just copying and pasting some website, touting a pet theory of some sensational Christian book I was mentioning, not prohibiting copy and paste, in principle. You see, the OP is about those theories being dubious, for reasons stated. So, a rehash of this shows nothing, if it doesn't overcome specific objections in the OP. In addition, a lot of these long, bloviating posts you see, swipes from websites where the authors can't spell exegesis, rarely address by precise use of scripture, long winded because somebody is trying to force the square peg into a round hole, actually to overcome Bible meanings. People with knowledge have their own ideas they can briefly comment on, like, "It can't be the end of the millennium, because it would break the chronology of Ezekiel," which I could then gleefully shoot down and have a little fun around here, for a change.
i haven't made my way through the thread.
do you proceed to shoot down the pet theories?

what does the Bible actually say?
just keep it simple if possible.

Ok First I should be in bed, so I will try to make this brief.

First of all, there will only be 1 battle after the 1000 year rule, Armageddon.

There is an issue that the vast majority of Jews today do not beleive in God, therefore we have a slight problem, as Israel needs to be a nation of beleivers in order to accept "The Messiah" or in other words the anti-christ claiming to be the Messiah.
where is the part about Israel needs to be a nation of beleivers in order to accept "The Messiah" or in other words the anti-christ claiming to be the Messiah?

where?

I would merely ask, then, when did this battle occur, leaving God's name honored all over the planet and Israel in a state of Holy Spirit redemption, with God present?
It is not as though God's word had failed. For not all who are descended from Israel are Israel.

what does this mean to you? no, let me rephrase that - what does God mean? the answer is in the following verses.

Gog gets hooks put into it's jaws and is pulled into a conflict with Israel that the Muslims will not be able to win (Gather ALL nations against Jerusalem to battle) so that God can pour out his wrath upon them..note that Gog is coming back from somewhere.....the destruction of the WEST!

Post tribulation/pre-wrath battle!
are all the nations on earth muslim?
where is islam mentioned in the bible?
Gog is coming back from somewhere? where can i find that?

Already mentioned the New Jerusalem and the presence of God statements in both Revelation and Ezekiel 39. It is impossible to see the following as not being a statement of tranquil peace and rest over the land of Israel, prior to Gog,

Ezekiel 38:11-12 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.

In fact, in our pre-tribulation times, Israel is building walls, the constant restlessness of a high state of security exists, missile attacks, Iran threatening genocide, riots, no need to go further, this for now and the foreseeable future. But the end of the millennium? Safety and rest, for a long time, unwalled villages, no bars or gates, no security cares.

and:

- who is Gog
- what is time sequence (past or future)

truly. if you can read ezekiel and use only portions of his prophecies for 2014 or 3015 instead of during his lifetime and/or shortly afterward PLUS or MINUS the added prophecy of eternity like every other single prophet in scripture, please do it.

show who is Gog today.
