Kind of silly to think that a 200 million-man army could attack Jerusalem. Israel would just nuke 'em before they got very far.
Hi HeRose,
This is a common misconception, I believe. The size of Israel is so small that any nukes set off in Israel or even close to Israel would be like bombing yourself. The enemy is even IN Jerusalem.
And who will Israel nuke? Everybody? Russia, Iran, Syria, Lebanon, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Turkey, etc, etc, 57 nations?
This is the main point of the 200 mill, there are so many enemies that the whole of the gentile nations is against them, they are surrounded and they cannot survive the genocide.
100,000 missiles in Lebanon alone has been reported. That's a lot of missiles for a tiny country like Israel to absorb. Add to that all the other forces that I mentioned, Russia, Syria, etc. Then you begin to understand the demon forces at work.
Did you never consider that that army will be trying to attack Christ and his resurrected saints?
You are 100% right, in a way.
These forces are against Israel, the wild and natural branches, the gospel kingdom message, and Jesus.
The descriptions that are given are the spiritual attributes.The spiritual attributes described are against the gospel and the natural branches.
Basically, it it the false teachings that Israel is not God's people and the gospel kingdom is not God's kingdom. This teaching is expressed as the fire, smoke, and brimstone which indicates the origin of the teaching, which is Satan and hell. Rev 9:19 shows that they are false prophets, as seen in Isa 9:15.
This is the spirit that motivates them to attack Jerusalem restored to Israel.
The 200 mill is the entire amount of the gentile unbelieving Magog forces. Never possible until modern times.
Now the prophecies are coming true. there is nothing that can stop these things from happening. All we can do is get in the ark of Jesus.
