  2. EschatologyThe study of the ‘Last Days’What will happen?When is the Wrath?When is the Rapture?

  3. Sir Isaac Newton was a Christian, and he was a prophet. He new about us!“About the time of the end, a body of men will be raised up who will turn their attention to the prophesies, and insist on their literal interpretation, in the midst of much clamor and opposition.” Source; "The Thousand Year Reign of Christ" by West, Quote is on Page 462

  4. Are we living in the ‘Last Days’? • II Peter 3:1

  5. 1917 The British gain control of Palestine (Israel)The Balfour Declaration, November 2, 1917U.S. Congress EndorsesThe Balfour Declaration(September 21, 1922)””...the LORD will...assemble the dispersed of Israel, and gather together the scattered of Judah from the four corners of the earth.”Isaiah 11:11-12 Jewish Publication Society of America

  6. (Isaiah 11:12) And He will lift up a standard for the nations And assemble the banished ones of Israel, And will gather the dispersed of Judah From the four corners of the earth.

  7. (Isaiah 56:8) The Lord GOD, who gathers the dispersed of Israel, declares, “Yet others I will gather to them, to those already gathered.”

  8. (Jeremiah 31:10) Hear the word of the LORD, O nations, And declare in the coastlands afar off, And say, “He who scattered Israel will gather him And keep him as a shepherd keeps his flock.”

  9. (Ezekiel 11:17) “Therefore say, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD, “I will gather you from the peoples and assemble you out of the countries among which you have been scattered, and I will give you the land of Israel.”’

  10. (Ezekiel 37:21) “Say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD, “Behold, I will take the sons of Israel from among the nations where they have gone, and I will gather them from every side and bring them into their own land;

  11. 1947 ADThe UN voted to end British control of Palestine and to divide the country into a Jewish and Arab state.

  12. In Joel 3:2, the prophet said that the nations of the world will be judged for having scattered the people of Israel and for having “divided up” (or “parted” or “partitioned”) the land of Israel. On November 29, 1947, when the United Nations General Assembly approved a motion to partition the land, which at that time was called “Palestine.” The partition plan divided the land into two separate states, one for Jewish people and another for Arab people. Today, that partitioning is interlocked with many political problems as the Jews seek to reclaim the land promised to them in the Bible (see Genesis 15:18, Genesis 28:10-17 and Genesis 35:9-12), and the Arabs seek to create a homeland for “Palestinians” - Arabs who have lived in that land for many generations.

  13. In this initial declaration, Jerusalem would be an international city, belonging to no one country or people.

  14. 1948, May 14 Jews declare independence of IsraelOn May 14, 1948, the Jews declare independence for Israel. This is the first time in 2900 years that Israel is both independent and united.

  15. The US recognized the new Jewish state immediately;

  16. 1948, May 15 (The next day) Surrounding countries invade IsraelWithin hours of Israel’s declaration of independence, the surrounding Arab countries launch an invasion of Israel. 5 Countries against Israel! 1949 Israel prevails in first Arab-Israeli warIsrael prevails in the Arab-Israeli war of 1948-9. Israeli forces recapture more of the ancient Jewish homeland, expanding the size of Israel by about 50 percent.1967 Six-Day War: Jews capture holy city of JerusalemDuring the Six-Day War of 1967, Israel takes control of Jerusalem and other ancient-Jewish territories.

  17. 1968- Current Jew began to buy property from the Palestinians- This was prophesied in scripture!!!Jeremiah 32:44 Fields will be bought for silver, and deeds will be signed, sealed and witnessed in the territory of Benjamin, in the villages around Jerusalem, in the towns of Judah and in the towns of the hill country, of the western foothills and of the Negev, because I will restore their fortunes, declares the Lord.”

  18. Review Israel Nation Established Israel back in Jerusalem Israel Gathered Israel dispersed 70 AD 1917 1948 1967

  19. Damascus(Syria) could be the catalyst for it all to happen! Damascus may be the hook…Ez.38:1-4 A man arises and confirms a peace with Israel Russia and Arab states attack Israel They are destroyed Damascus Destroyed Is. 17:1 Ez. 38:15 Ez.39 Daniel 9:27 (prior to the 70th week of Daniel – see Ez. 39:9) This will be a world crisis! Zech. 12:1+

  20. Syrian Defence Minister Hassan Turkmani (L) and his Iranian counterpart Mostafa Mohammad Najjar (R) Defense ministers from close allies Iran and Syria on Thursday signed an agreement for military cooperation against what they called the "common threats" presented by Israel and the United States. In a joint press conference, Iranian Defense Minister Mostafa Mohammad Najjar and visiting Syrian counterpart Hassan Turkmani said their talks had been aimed at consolidating their defense efforts and strengthening support for one another.

  21. Syria is also threatening Israel and supporting the terrorists who are waging Jihad on them.Amos 1:3-5 States that Syria will come against Israel four times, and then will be made desolate. These occurred in: 1948 (1st) 1967(2nd) 1973(3rd) and the 4th appears that it could happen at any time!Damascus is the capital of Syria. It is the oldest perpetual city in the world! It is over 5000 years old!

  22. Is. 17:1 States that Damascus will be taken away from being a city and become a ruinous heap - this has not happened yet, but will very soon!!Isa 17:3 "The fortified city will disappear from Ephraim, And sovereignty from Damascus And the remnant of Aram; They will be like the glory of the sons of Israel," Declares the LORD of hosts.

  23. In 1973, Israel came with 20 kilometers of Damascus - Russia stepped in and informed the world that if they continue, it willbe world war three. If Israel had destroyed Damascus then, this prophecy could not have been fulfilled!Additionally, Russia is backing Damascus - when Damascus attacks Israel again, it will be destroyed, and it will cause theprophecies in Ez. 38 and 39 to be fulfilled - Russia, the bear of the north along with Muslim nations will be forced to attack Israel, but God will intervene!

  24. AP News ServiceISRAEL HEADS FOR WAR WITH SYRIATEL AVIV [MENL] -- Israel's military has been preparing for the increasing prospect of a war with Syria in a confrontation expected to include Iran and Hizbullah. The General Staff has discussed an assessment by the military's Northern Command of an emerging threat from Syria and Hizbullah over the next year. Northern Command said a weakened Syria, under pressure from the United States to withdraw from Lebanon, was likely to approve an Iranian-Hizbullah campaign against Israel. Military sources said this assessment was the latest by several senior officers who envision a major war with Syria by 2007.

  25. Gog and Non-Arab Allies Attack IsraelEzekiel 38:1-3Now the word of the Lord came to me, saying, 2 "Son of man, set your face against Gog, of the land of Magog, *the prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal, and prophesy against him, 3 and say, 'Thus says the Lord God: "Behold, I am against you, O Gog, the prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal. 4 I will turn you around, put hooks into your jaws, and lead you out, with all your army, horses, and horsemen, all splendidly clothed, a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords. 5 Persia (Iran), *Ethiopia, and *Libya are with them, all of them with shield and helmet; 6 Gomer and all its troops; the house of Togarmahfrom the far north and all its troops--many people are with you.

  26. "The sons of Japheth: Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshech and Tiras." Genesis 10:2

  27. Joseph Flavius, clearly identifies Magog: "Magog founded the Magogians, thus named after him, but who were by the Greeks called Scythians." Another reliable source comes from Herodotus, known as the "Father of History." Herodotus writes of the bizarre and savage practices of the descendents of Magog known as the Scythians.

  28. We know that the descendants of Magog by their Greek name, Scythians. In Greek mythology the Scythians descended from Scythes, the youngest of the three sons of Hercules, from sleeping with a half viper and half woman. The name Scythian covers a number of nomadic tribes from the Russian steppes, a fertile area of the Ukraine north of the Black Sea.

  29. Arab writers confirm that in the Arabic language their name for the Great Wall of China is called "the wall of Al Magog" because the Great Wall was built to keep out the invading armies from Magog.

  30. So, who then is Gog.? Gog is obviously the leader of Magog,  he is the "Prince of Rosh, Meshech and Tubal." So Gog will be the leader of this Russian led military horde.

  31. Amos 7:1 reads as follows:"Thus hath the Lord God shewed unto me; and, behold, he informed grasshoppers in the beginning of the shooting up of the latter growth; and, lo, it was the latter growth after the king's mowings." Amos 7:1 (KJV)Our English Bible takes its translation from the Masoretic text, a 9th century source. However, an earlier translation of the Old Testament into Greek, known as the Septuagint, embodies a different rending of Amos 7:1:"Thus the Lord showed me, and behold a swarm of locusts were coming, and behold, one of the young devastating locusts was Gog, the King." Amos 7:1 (LXX)

  32. Gog, ruler of the land of Magog (Russia),  king of the many peoples like locust, leader of the Russian led in invasion of Israel, associated with the angel-prince of hell, Satan! So clearly this Russian led invasion is actually another attempt by Satan to thwart the plan of God.

  33. Meshech: Meshech was the sixth son of Japheth, the son of Noah. He is identified with the ancient Mushki of the Assyrians and the Muschoi of the classical Greek writers. Assyrian inscriptions describe them as inhabiting Phrygia in northern Anatolia (modern Turkey).

  34. Put, the next ally of Magog in Ezekiel 38. Put was the third son of Ham, the son of Noah. Josephus identifies him as the founder of Libya, whose inhabitants were called Putites. Put is associated with North Africa, populated by the Berbers and tribes distinct from Cush. Put encompassed the area from present day Libya to Mauritania and the Mahgreb: Algeria, Tunisia, and Morocco. So we have Libya, Algeria, Tunisia and Morocco.

  35. Togarmah is one of the sons of Gomer. The Assyrians called them Til-Garimmu, a name derived from the Hittite city Tegarama and carried into classical times as Gauraema, presently known as Gurun, 70 miles west of Mylayta. The city was destroyed by Sennacherib in 695 B.C. The Armenians still refer to themselves as "The House of Togarmah" even to this day. So Togarmah is the present day area that covers Turkey and Turkestan.

  36. Gomer is referring to the nations of the north of Israel. This includes Lebanon, Syria, Turkey, and Russia.

  37. "Fight and slay the pagans (infidels) wherever you find them, and seize them, beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them in every stratagem of war". - Koran, Sura 9:5"Believers (Muslims), take neither Jews nor Christians to be your friends: they are friends with one another. Whoever of you seeks their friendship shall become one of their number, and God does not guide (those Jewish and Christian) wrongdoers." - Koran, Sura 5:51-5:74

  38. All the allies of Magog (Russia) are very well defined and one thing that they all have in common is that they are Muslim. The intense hatred of Muslims towards Israel will unite them in a common cause, to completely annihilate Israel off the face of the earth.

  39. Josephus also identifies the descendants of Meshech as dwelling in eastern Turkey. Some also link the Muschkoi with Mushkovi, the ancient name for Russia.

  40. Why is the timing right for Russia to pursue their interests in the Mideast? What does the world economy have to do with it? They have come to understand how market economies work from first-hand experience.

  41. Why is the timing right for Russia to pursue their interests in the Mideast? They have come to understand how market economies work from first-hand experience. How can the world’s economy be brought to its knees? The key to dominating the world is to control the oil that market economies need to flourish.

The key to dominating the world is to control the oil that market economies need to flourish. What does Iraq have to do with it? US success in Iraq means that the US will soon be freed from this entanglement.

The key to dominating the world is to control the oil that market economies need to flourish. US success in Iraq means that the US will soon be freed from this entanglement. What does Iran & Israel have to do with it? Israel threatening Iran's nuclear weapon production capacity may give them enough legitimacy to catch the world by surprise.

  44. Why did Russia invade Georgia? What does the timing have to do with it? The timing was right with the world (and especially China) being distracted by the Olympics.

  45. Why did Russia invade Georgia? The timing was right with the world (and especially China) being distracted by the Olympics. What does Georgia’s location have to do with it? Logistically, Georgia is a key land-barrier between Russia and their Mideastern allies.

  46. Why did Russia invade Georgia? The timing was right with the world (and especially China) being distracted by the Olympics. Logistically, Georgia is a key land-barrier between Russia and their Mideastern allies. What does testing the world’s response have to do with it? • They needed a test of the US resolve… • if the US response lacks substance, they’ll have confidence to press on into the Mideast.

  47. Why did Russia invade Georgia? • The timing was right with the world (and especially China) being distracted by the Olympics. • Logistically, Georgia is a key land-barrier between Russia and their Mideastern allies. • They needed a test of the US resolve… • if the US response lacks substance, they’ll have confidence to press on into the Mideast. What does revealing the nature of God have to do with it? Georgia must be assimilated into The Russian alliance to fulfill Bible prophecy.
