EZEKIEL (33-48)

1. EZEKIEL (33-48) “GOG OF MAGOG”

2. CHAPTER 33 RETURN OF THE “WATCHMAN”

3. WARN THE PEOPLE PUT A WATCHMAN OUT TO BLOW THE HORN IF HE SEE’S THE SWORD COMING AND THE PEOPLE DON’T LISTEN…THEIR BLOOD WILL BE ON THEIR OWN HEAD AND THE WATCHMAN WILL HAVE DELIVERD HIS SOUL IF THE WATCHMAN SEE THE SWORD COMING AND DOES NOT WARN THE PEOPLE AND THEIR BLOOD IS SHED, THE PEOPLE DIE FOR THEIR OWN SINS BUT THE WATCHMAN WILL BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR BLOODSHED

4. JERUSALEM REJECTING THE WAY OF THE LORD “Yet your people say, ‘The way of the Lord is not just.’ But it is their way that is not just. If a righteous person turns from their righteousness and does evil, they will die for it. And if a wicked person turns away from their wickedness and does what is just and right, they will live by doing so. Yet you Israelites say, ‘The way of the Lord is not just.’ But I will judge each of you according to your own ways.”

5. FALL OF JERUSALEM 12TH YEAR/10TH MONTH OF THEIR EXILE WORD CAME THAT JERUSALEM HAD FALLEN YOU GAVE 1 MAN (ABRAHAM) THE LAND & DID NOT TAKE IT AWAY FROM HIM THE LORD MOST DEFINITLY WON’T TAKE THE LAND FROM A LARGE GROUP OF HIS PEOPLE

6. DISOBEDIENCE DISOBEY MY LAWS DEPEND ON YOUR OWN SWORD DEPEND ON YOUR NEIGHBORS WORSHIP IDOLS AND OTHER GODS JERUSALEM WILL FALL BY THE SWORD (WAR)

7. ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS My people come to you, as they usually do, and sit before you to hear your words, but they do not put them into practice. Their mouths speak of love, but their hearts are greedy for unjust gain. Indeed, to them you are nothing more than one who sings love songs with a beautiful voice and plays an instrument well, for they hear your words but do not put them into practice. “When all this comes true—and it surely will—then they will know that a prophet has been among them.”

8. EZEKIEL 34

9. LORD AGAINST THE SHEPHERDS PROPHECY AGAINST THE SHEPHERDS OF ISRAEL WOE TO THEM! THEY DID NOT TAKE CARE OF THEIR FLOCK…LOOKED OUT FOR THEMSELVES THEY WERE LOST & SPREAD THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE EARTH & NO ONE LOOKED FOR THEM

10. LORD BECOMES THEIR SHEPHERD I myself will search for my sheep and look after them. As a shepherd looks after his scattered flock when he is with them, so will I look after my sheep. I will rescue them from all the places where they were scattered on a day of clouds and darkness. I will bring them out from the nations and gather them from the countries, and I will bring them into their own land. I will pasture them on the mountains of Israel, in the ravines and in all the settlements in the land. I will tend them in a good pasture, and the mountain heights of Israel will be their grazing land. There they will lie down in good grazing land, and there they will feed in a rich pasture on the mountains of Israel. I myself will tend my sheep and have them lie down, declares the Sovereign LORD. I will search for the lost and bring back the strays. I will bind up the injured and strengthen the weak, but the sleek and the strong I will destroy. I will shepherd the flock with justice.

11. THE LAST & FINAL SHEPHERD LORD WILL JUDGE THE FAT SHEEP FROM THE SLIM SHEEP WILL PLACE OVER THEM ONE SHEPPERD TO LOOK OVER THEM “KING DAVID” HE WILL BE A PRINCE AMONG THEM

12. COVENANT OF PEACE ISRAEL WILL LIVE IN PEACE PEACE COVENANT WITH THE LORD NO SAVAGE BEASTS (ENEMIES) EVERYTHING WILL BE PERFECT HOW THE LORD INTENDED THINGS TO BE

13. EZEKIEL 35 EDOM (JORDAN/SAUDI ARABIA)

14. AGAINST MT. SEIR PROPHECY AGAINST EDOM OR MT. SEIR THE LORD IS AGAINST EDOM AND WILL TURN IT INTO A DESOLATE LAND “‘Because you have said, “These two nations (SAMARIA/JUDEAH) and countries will be ours and we will take possession of them,” even though I the LORD was there, therefore as surely as I live, declares the Sovereign LORD, I will treat you in accordance with the anger and jealousy you showed in your hatred of them (ISRAEL) and I will make myself known among them when I judge you.

15. THE WHOLE EARTH REJOICES This is what the Sovereign LORD says: While the whole earth rejoices, I will make you desolate. Because you rejoiced when the inheritance of Israel became desolate, that is how I will treat you. You will be desolate, Mount Seir, you and all of Edom. Then they will know that I am the LORD.’”

16. EZEKIEL 36

17. PROPHESY TO ISRAEL Because they have made you desolate, and swallowed you up on every side, that ye might be a possession unto the residue of the heathen, and ye are taken up in the lips of talkers, and are an infamy of the people: LORD IS AGAINST IDUMEA (ARABIA/EDOM) AND ALL THE HEATHEN NATIONS THAT FOLLOW

18. ISRAEL RESTORED ISRAEL WILL PRODUCE BRANCHES AND FRUIT FOR MY PEOPLE MANY PEOPLE WILL LIVE IN ISRAEL TOWNS WILL BE REBUILT AND INHABITED They will possess you, and you will be their inheritance; you will never again deprive them of their children. NO LONGER WILL YOU HEAR THE TAUNTS OF THE NATIONS NOR WILL YOU SUFFER FROM THOSE NATIONS THAT HAVE DONE YOU WRONG

19. FOR THE SAKE OF HIS NAME THE LORD WILL BRING BACK AND RESTORE THE NATION OF ISRAEL NOT FOR THEIR SAKE; BUT FOR THE SAKE OF HIS NAME

20. JEWISH ENCYCLOPEDIA The shepherds hitherto placed over Israel have thriven, but have neglected their flock, which God will now take under His protection, appointing a new David as a shepherd over it. The Edomites, who have seized certain portions of the Holy Land, will be annihilated; Israel will be restored; that is, Judah and Joseph will be merged into one. The last on-slaught of the pagan world against the newly established kingdom of God will be victoriously repelled by the Almighty Himself, who will manifest His sanctity among the nations. The final division, embodying the celebrated vision of the new Temple and the new Jerusalem, contains a description of the future era of salvation with its ordinances and conditions, which are epitomized in the final sentence: "And the name of the city from that day shall be, The Lord is there".

21. EZEKIEL 37“DRY BONES”

22. TAKEN TO A VALLEY OF BONES LORD TAKES EZEKIEL TO A VALLEY FULL OF BONES HE PASSED BY THEM AND SAW THEY WERE VERY DRY And He said unto me: 'Son of man, can these bones live?' And I answered: 'O Lord GOD, You know. 'Prophesy over these bones, and say unto them: O ye dry bones, hear the word of the LORD: Thus says the Lord GOD unto these bones: Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and you shall live. And I will lay strength upon you, and will bring up flesh upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and you shall live; and you shall know that I am the LORD.‘

23. BONES COME ALIVE So I prophesied as I was commanded; and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and behold a commotion, and the bones came together, bone to its bone. And I beheld, there were strength upon them, and flesh came up, and skin covered them above; but there was no breath in them. Then said He unto me: 'Prophesy unto the breath, prophesy, son of man, and say to the breath: Thus says the Lord GOD: Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe upon these slain, that they may live.' So I prophesied as He commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great host.

24. THE BONES EXPLAINED: EZEKIEL 37:10THESE BONES ARE THE WHOLE HOUSE OF ISRAEL They say: Our bones are dried up, and our hope is lost; we are clean cut off. Behold, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves, O My people; and I will bring you into the land of Israel. And ye shall know that I am the LORD, when I have opened your graves, and caused you to come up out of your graves, O My people. And I will put My spirit in you, and you shall live, and I will place you in your own land; and you shall know that I the LORD have spoken, and performed it, says the LORD.'

25. 2 STICKS BECOMING 1 Take a stick of wood and write on it, ‘Belonging to Judah and the Israelites associated with him.’ Then take another stick of wood, and write on it, ‘Belonging to Joseph (that is, to Ephraim) and all the Israelites associated with him.’ Join them together into one stick so that they will become one in your hand.

26. ISRAEL RETURNS AS ONE ‘Won’t you tell us what you mean by this?’ I am going to take the stick of Joseph—which is in Ephraim’s hand—and of the Israelite tribes associated with him, and join it to Judah’s stick. I will make them into a single stick of wood, and they will become one in my hand.’ I will take the Israelites out of the nations where they have gone. I will gather them from all around and bring them back into their own land. I will make them one nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel. THEY WILL NEVER BE DIVIDED IN 2 KINGDOMS AGAIN I will save them from all their sinful backsliding, and I will cleanse them.

27. 1 KING WILL RULE THE LAND THEY WILL BE RULED BY 1 KING FOREVER (KING DAVID) YOU WILL FOLLOW MY LAWS & DECREES They will live in the land I gave to my servant Jacob, the land where your ancestors lived. They and their children and their children’s children will live there forever, David my servant will be their prince forever. I will make a covenant of peace with them; it will be an everlasting covenant. I will establish them and increase their numbers, and I will put my sanctuary among them forever. My dwelling place will be with them; I will be their God, and they will be my people. Then the nations will know that I the LORD make Israel holy, when my sanctuary is among them forever.’”

28. EZEKIEL 38“THE BATTLE”

29. GOG OF MAGOG Set your face toward Gog, of the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him, I am against you, Gog, chief prince of Meshek and Tubal. I will turn you around, put hooks in your jaws and bring you out with your whole army—your horses, your horsemen fully armed, and a great horde with large and small shields, all of them brandishing their swords. Persia, Cush and Put will be with them, all with shields and helmets, also Gomer with all its troops, and Beth Togarmah from the far north with all its troops—the many nations with you.

32. WHO IS GOG? TERM FROM GYGES OR GUGU A KING FROM LYDIA (TURKEY) AROUND 660 BC (SAME PERIOD AS EZEKIEL) WORSHIPPED “MEN” OR MOON “GOG” IS A TITLE SUCH AS KING OR PHARAOH

33. IS GOG THE ANTICHRIST? EZEKIEL 38:17 “Are you (Gog) he of whom I have spoken in former days by My servants the prophets of Israel, who prophesied for years in those days that I would bring you against them? REVELATION 20:8 “GOG” RETURNS AFTER THE MILLENIAL REIGN---JUST LIKE SATAN REVELATION 2:13 “I know your works, and where you dwell, where Satan’s throneis…My faithful martyr, who was killed among you, where Satan dwells.(Pergamos/Turkey) EZEKIEL 39:3 Then I will knock the bow out of your left hand

34. WARNING TO GOG THE LORD TELLS GOG AND HIS PEOPLE TO BE PREPARED you and all the hordes gathered about you, and take command of them. After many days you will be called to arms. In latter years you will invade a land that has recovered from war, whose people were gathered from many nations to the mountains of Israel, which had long been desolate. They had been brought out from the nations, and now all of them live in safety. You and all your troops and the many nations with you will go up, advancing like a storm; you will be like a cloud covering the land.

35. THE LORD ATTACKS Surely in that day there shall be a great shaking in the land of Israel; so that the fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the heaven, and the beasts of the field and all creeping things that creep upon the ground, and all the men that are upon the face of the earth, shall shake at My presence, and the mountains (Kingdoms) shall be thrown down, and the steep places shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground. And I will call for a sword against him throughout all my mountains (Kingdoms), says the Lord GOD; every man's sword shall be against his brother. And I will plead against him with pestilence and with blood; and I will cause to rain upon him, and upon his bands, and upon the many peoples that are with him, an overflowing shower, and great hailstones, fire, and brimstone. Thus will I magnify Myself, and sanctify Myself, and I will make Myself known in the eyes of many nations; and they shall know that I am the LORD.

36. SWORD AGAINST BROTHER ISAIAH 19:2LORD HIMSELF SAYS “I will stir up Egyptian against Egyptian— brother will fight against brother, neighbor against neighbor, city against city, kingdom against kingdom. The Egyptians will lose heart, and I will bring their plans to nothing JUDGES 7:22 And they blew the three hundred horns, and the LORD set every man's sword a against his fellow(GIDEON’S WAR) MATTHEW 10:34 “Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I have come to turn “‘a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law— a man’s enemies will be the members of his own household.’ GENESIS 16:12 You shall name him Ishmael for the LORD has heard of your misery. He will be a wild donkey of a man; his hand will be against everyone and everyone’s hand against him, and he will live in hostility toward all his brothers.”

39. HIS NAME WILL BE KNOWN So will I make my holy name known in the midst of my people Israel; and I will not let them pollute my holy name any more: and the heathen shall know that I am the LORD, the Holy One in Israel.

40. WEAPONS BURNED Behold, it is come, and it is done, says the Lord GOD; this is the day whereof I have spoken. 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”

41. GOG’S ENDING HE WILL BE BURIED ALONG WITH HIS FOLLOWERS IN THE VALLEY OF HAMMON-GOG (HAMONAH) EASTERN PART OF DEAD SEA (SODOM & GOMMORAH)

42. CLEAN UP JOB IT WILL TAKE THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL 7 MONTHS TO BURY EVERYONE WILL BE A DAY IN WHICH THE LORD WILL BE GLORIFIED MEN WILL WALK BY WHEN THEY SEE A BONE PUT A SIGN BESIDE IT FOR CLEANUP (COULD THEY BE CONTAMINATED?)

43. EZEKIEL VS. REVELATION EZEKIEL 39:17-20 “And as for you, son of man, thus says the Lord GOD, ‘Speak to every sort of bird and to every beast of the field: “ Assemble yourselves and come; Gather together from all sides to My sacrificial meal Which I am sacrificing for you, A great sacrificial meal on the mountains of Israel, That you may eat flesh and drink blood. You shall eat the flesh of the mighty, Drink the blood of the princes of the earth, Of rams and lambs, Of goats and bulls, All of them fatlings of Bashan. You shall eat fat till you are full, And drink blood till you are drunk, At My sacrificial meal Which I am sacrificing for you. You shall be filled at My table With horses and riders, With mighty men And with all the men of war,” says the Lord GOD. And I will set My glory among the nations, and all the nations shall see My judgment that I have executed, and My hand that I have laid upon them. So the house of Israel shall know that I am the LORD their God, from that day and forward. REVELATION 19:17-18Then I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with aloud voice, saying to all the birdsthat fly in the midst of heaven, “Come andgather togetherfor thesupper of the great God, that you mayeat the flesh of kings, the flesh of captains, theflesh of mighty men, the flesh ofhorses and of those who sit onthem, and the flesh of all people, free and slave, both small and great.”

44. JESUS RETURNS REVELATION 19:11-16I saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse, whose rider is called Faithful and True. With justice he judges and wages war. His eyes are like blazing fire, and on his head are many crowns. He has a name written on him that no one knows but he himself. He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and his name is the Word of God. The armies of heaven were following him, riding on white horses and dressed in fine linen, white and clean. Coming out of his mouth is a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations. “He will rule them with an iron scepter.” He treads the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God Almighty. On his robe and on his thigh he has this name written:    KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.

45. NATIONS WILL KNOW THE LORD And I will set My glory among the nations, and all the nations shall see My judgment that I have executed, and My hand that I have laid upon them. So the house of Israel shall know that I am the LORD their God, from that day and forward. And the nations shall know that the house of Israel went into captivity for their iniquity, because they broke faith with Me, and I hid My face from them; so I gave them into the hand of their adversaries, andthey fell all of them by the sword.

46. ISRAEL WILL DWELL SAFELY Now will I bring back the captivity of Jacob, and have compassion upon the whole house of Israel; and I will be jealous for My holy name. And they shall bear their shame, and all their breach of faith which they have committed against Me, when they shall dwell safely in their land, and none shall make them afraid; when I have brought them back from the peoples, and gathered them out of their enemies' lands, and am sanctified in them in the sight of many nations. And they shall know that I am the LORD their God, in that I caused them to go into captivity among the nations, and have gathered them unto their own land; and I will leave none of them any more there; neither will I hide My face any more from them; for I have poured out My spirit upon the house of Israel

47. PSALM 83:3-5 With cunning they conspire against your people; they plot against those you cherish. “Come,” they say, “let us destroy them as a nation, so that Israel’s name is remembered no more.” With one mind they plot together; they form an alliance against you

48. THE ALLIANCE NATIONS INVOLVED Edom-Jordan/Arabia Moab & Ammon —Jordan Amalek- Jordan Gebal/Tyre- Lebanon (Hezbollah’s Headquarters) Philistia-Gaza (Hamas Headquarters) Ishmaelites & Hagarites- Arabs in General Assyria-Iraq Syria & Turkey

49. GIDEON—WAR MESSIAH DO UNTO THEM AS YOU DID TO THE MIDIANITES LIKE GIDEON DID TO ZEBA & ZALMUNNA IN MEGIDDO DEFEATED THEM AND TOOK THE CRESCENT ORNAMENTS FROM THE CAMELS NECKS THEY WILL BE PUT TO SHAME AND PUNISHED FOREVER COMPARED TO STUBBLE BEFORE THE WIND

50. WHEN IS THIS BATTLE? WHY DO MANY SCHOLARS CLAIM THIS WAR TO BE BEFORE “THE DAY OF THE LORD”? IT DOESN’T FIT THEIR THEORY OF THE ANTICHRIST COMING FROM EUROPE
