From: Marilyn AgeeRe: Paul Synder (30 Dec 2008) "RAPTURE"Hi:> > Ezekiel 38 was tied to the raptureI think Ezekiel 38 is about attacking Israel, not about the Rapture..Eze 38:14-16 says, "Therefore, son of man, prophesy and say unto Gog, Thus saith the Lord GOD; In that day when my people of ISRAEL dwelleth safely, shalt thou not know it? And thou shalt come from thy place out of the north (Moscow is due north of Israel, not the USA) parts, thou, and many people with thee, all of them riding upon horses, a great company, and a mighty army: And thou shalt come up against my people of ISRAEL, as a cloud to cover the land; it shall be in the latter days, and I will bring thee against MY LAND, that the heathen may know me, when I shall be sanctified in thee, O Gog, before their eyes".The time is the Day of God's Wrath, when the asteroid of Rev. 8:8,9 impacts the Mediterranean Sea, and the asteroid called Wormwood in Rev. 8:10,11 will destroy Babylon.Eze. 38:18-20 says, "And it shall come to pass at the same time WHEN GOG SHALL COME AGAINST THE LAND OF ISRAEL, SAITH THE LORD GOD, THAT MY FURY SHALL COME UP IN MY FACE. For in my jealousy and in the fire of MY WRATH have I spoken, 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 earth, and all the men that are upon the face of the earth, shall shake at my presence (paniym, face, i.e., the Sign of the Son of Man will be seen in the sky; Mt. 24:30), and the mountains (i.e., 2 asteroids; Rev. 8:8-11) shall be thrown down, and the steep places shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground." .The asteroid called Wormwood, which means bitterness, is Satan's present home. Isa. 22:16-19 says, "What hast thou here? (Babylon, Iraq) and whom hast thou here (the Satan-possessed False Prophet), that thou hast hewed thee out a sepulchre here, as he (Satan) that heweth him out a sepulchre on high, and that graveth an habitation for himself in a rock? Behold, the LORD will carry thee away with a mighty captivity, and will surely cover thee. HE WILL SURELY VIOLENTLY TURN AND TOSS THEE LIKE A BALL INTO A LARGE COUNTRY: there shalt thou die, and there the chariots of thy glory shall be the shame of thy lord's house. And I will drive thee from thy station, and from thy state shall he pull thee down."
