Dear Doves,
 
Who is it that is being warned here in Scripture if it is not His Church of believers? Of course, it is His Church/bride of Christian believers! Why would God expect the un-believers to be reading the New Testament? This is a message from God to His Church/bride:
 
Luke 21:20-24
"But when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies (Gog-Magog), then know that its desolation is near. Then let those (Christian believers) who are in Judea flee to the mountains. Let those (Christian believers) who are in the midst of her depart, and let not those (Christian believers) who are in the country enter her. For these are the days of (My) vengeance (on Israel), that all things which are written (in Matthew 24:27-28 and Ezekiel 39 ) may be fulfilled.........For there will be great tribulation in the land (of Israel) and (My) wrath upon this people (of Israel). And Jerusalem will be trampled by (Muslim) Gentiles until the times (age of grace) of the Gentiles are fulfilled."
 
So you see, His Church/bride will be right here on earth to see the Gog-Magog War happen in Israel, which is God's vengeance upon the land and the people of Israel. But on the Day of the coming of the Lord to rapture His Church/bride He will "shorten the tribulation" of the Gog-Magog War in Israel "for the sake of the elect" by killing the Gog-Magog army in Israel. Then AFTER THE RAPTURE the left-behind unbelievers will be burying the dead bodies of the Gog-Magog army for seven-months as they are also being devoured by the eagles and vultures and all sorts of birds of prey.
 
Luke 21:31
"So you also, when you see these things happening (when the Gog-Magog War begins), know that the Kingdom of God is near." "RIGHT AT THE DOOR!"
 
According to Your Word, come Lord Jesus!
