From what we have learned thus far it is apparent that before looking for the invasion of Gog from the land of Magog we should first be looking for the impending Arab invasion of Israel which is to precede it. What say the Scriptures in this respect? “Do not keep silent, O God! Do not hold your peace, and do not be still, O God! For behold, your enemies make an uproar; and those who hate you (Compare Ezek 25:15)…
Prelude to “Gog and Magog” (Some of you may have already seen some of this in our study on the war in the Middle East, but it’s still worth reviewing.) Typically when we think about the Gog and Magog incident we picture a great Russia hoard in coalition with various Arab nations coming together to do battle against Israel, but is this correct, is this truly what is going to take place or have we simply jumped to this conclusion…
As stated in our previous post we mentioned three groups of individuals living at the time who will enter the great tribulation: 1) The Great Company. 2) The nation of Israel. 3) The world of mankind.

He quotes Jeremiah as saying, “the slain of the Lord in that day shall be from one end of the Earth even to the other end” (Jer 25:33)…They’re not going to be lamented…
In this study we should like to address the following statements made by one of our forum members: “Following the Lord’s Second Advent the earth is to be destroyed, empty, darkened, silent, and devoid of all life (except for Satan and his demons).” Likewise his statement that: “All those verses like in Isaiah 24, Jeremiah 4, etc. which describe a desolate, empty, uninhabited Earth refer to the destruction that happens in “the day of the Lord” when He comes “as…
