problem is right after the Rev 20 event is the White Throne Judgment whereas in Ezek 7 months are spent burying the dead.
Also in Rev 20 the armies com from the whole earth but in Ezek mainly from the North.
But it also says they will burn their weapons for 7 years in Ezekiel 39:9 "And they that dwell in the cities of Israel shall go forth, and shall set on fire and burn the weapons, both the shields and the bucklers, the
bows and the
arrows, and the
handstaves, and the
spears, and they shall burn them with fire seven years:"
I don't think Russia is coming with bows, arrows, handstaves and spears either. LOL!
But I do believe in dual prophecies, like history repeating itself. Even in scripture the Lord confirms the same....
Ecclesiastes 3:15
That which hath been is now; and that which is to be hath already been; and
God requireth that which is past.
So it could that the battle of Armageddon prior to the millennium will be a reflection of the battle of Gog and Magog after the millennium.
Revelation 16:13-16
