Daniel (23 May 2012)
"Timing of the Gog and Magog war  =  100 % sure after the rapture"


Timing of the Gog and Magog
      war  =  100 % sure after the rapture
 
 
          -  Proving it with the Holy Bible as the only absolute truth
    (Three key verses in the Gog and Magog text itself)
 
 
-  Conclusion I:
 
   It is much much later on God's endtime clock than
                   many sleeping christians are supposing it
  
           
        -  Conclusion II:
 
   The rapture is at the door and can take place any
                   second
 
 
           -   Conclusion III:
 
            There will be again Pentecostal in Jerusalem and
                    there will be again powerful worldwide evangelism
               like in the Acts
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Dear brethren of Five Doves
 
               This is Daniel from Switzerland. My mother tongue is Swiss German but my
           English is quite Ok and so I hope You understand very well the following
           message which I suppose to be a very importan message as well to be
           the very good news that
 
 
         Jesus will come back for His bride very soon !!!
 
 
It was in 1977 that I came to the Lord at the age of eighteen years and it was at that time 1979 ff. and when the Russian red army invaded Afghanistan with a surprising military attack at christmas 1979 that many pastors and churches were speaking a lot about the coming Gog and Magog war and that the invasion of Afghanistan is now just the first step in later invading as well Iran as the neighbour country of Afghanistan and then together with Iran to attack Israel.
 
But during the 80ies and as nothing specific happened into this direction more and more silence among most of the christians and later and especially 1989 ff. and with the mighty deliverance of the Iron Curtain, cold war and communism in Eastern Europe the christians here even started to fall asleep more and more and finally to forget about the Lord's return and changed their mind that the Gog and Magog war followed by the Lord's return would not be very soon, but "a little bit later than we first expected it in 1979..." The same happened also to me and it was especially in april 2010 and with the volcano eruption and the ashes in Iceland/Northern Europe (= almost all commercial flights in Europe cancelled and silent "ghost-airports" allover Europe within two days) that the Lord started to wake me up again concerning the imminent rapture and it was especially  in december 2011 that the Lord after more than thirty years (1979 ff.) started also to speak to me about the Gog and Magog war and this was a very great surprise to me.
 
This text in Ezekiel 37 ff. is very well known and there is also much discussion and several opinions in the "endtime literature" if this war is before/during/at the end of the Great Tribulation and as far as I know all the authors in the "endtime-literature" write more or less that it is not possible to give a definitive and clear answer to this question.
 
There is first of all the question in the "endtime-literature" if this Gog and Magog war is before/during/at the end of the Great Tribulation but there is very few in the "endtime-literature" about another question if the rapture is before/during/at the end of the Gog and Magog war.
 
And this was really a great and very positive surprise from the Lord for me that after more than thirty years (Russian occupation of Afghanistan in 1979) of silence the Lord started to speak again to me about the Gog and Magog war during december 2011/winter 2012, I red the text a lot and prayed about it during the last winter and I have now the very deep conviction and can show the very true and biblical answer if the rapture will take place befofe/during/at the end of the Gog and Magog war
 
And the answer is that the Gog and Magog war can only be after the rapture and also that today it is much much later on God's endtime clock than too many sleeping christians are supposing it  !!!
 
           And there will not only be the Gog and Magog war but there will also be
           again Pentecostal again in Jerusalem (Ezekiel 39,29) !!!
             
 
 
And I can prove this truth with three Bible verses in the Ezekiel text itself and then later on underline and confirm this biblical truth 1. with true and  interesting realities in the invisible world and in the history of a nation and  2. with the inner testimony of the two groups (= the sleeping ones and the bride souls) of christians today.
 
There was also the discussion and the letters to Five Doves from brother B. Warner on 17.04.2012 where he wrote "...therefore the first Gog and Magog war is the benchmark for the timing of our rapture. We will be raptured immediately after the shortened tribulation of these days of the Gog and Magog war in Israel..." (see letter to Five Doves 17.04.2012 B. Warner). Of course this statement is completely wrong and it is first of all against the words of Jesus Christ himself who told us very clearly in the Holy Bible  "Watch and pray always because You do not know when the Son of Man returns" (see also later in chapter III.2).
 
If this statement 17.04. of brother B. Warner was is then one does not need to watch and pray any longer but one waits now first for the start of the Gog and Magog war and as soon as this war begins then to wake up and to expect the rapture to take place within a very short time frame concerning to the probably very short duration (see chapter V) of the Gog and Magog war....
 
And those are indeed very good news that it is possible with the Holy Bible to prove that the rapture can only be before the Gog and Magog war and the fact that the Lord after more than thirty years (1979 - 2011) now exactly in december 2011 ff started to speak again to me about that war can very well also mean that it is indeed much much later on God's endtime
        clock than many sleeping christians are supposing it and that Jesus 
           comes back for His bride very soon.
          
         
       
 If anything in the following should be against the absolute truth of the Holy Bible I will be the first one to apologize and to humble before the Lord for it and so I am very thankful when You read carefully the following and check it with the Holy Bible and I am very interested for Your replies and reactions to the Five Doves Forum:
 
 
 
 
 
I.    The three key verses in the Holy Bible to prove the timing of the rapture before/during/at the end of the Gog and Magog war: 
 
       -  Ezekiel  38,23 B
 
       -  Ezekiel  39,29
 
       -  Ezekiel  39,28
 
 
IIa.  The faithfulness of the Lord or the disobedience to the Lord and to His Holy Spirit and the immediate consequences for the history and for the development of a nation (examples: USA, Switzerland, Russia, France, Germany) 
 
 
IIb.   USA and Russia     a) before          b) after the rapture
 
 
 
III.    Contradictions in each of the three possible variants and remaining only one possibility left = rapture before the Gog and Magog war 
 
 
 
IV.    Personal inner testimony of other christians (two groups)
 
 
V      Where is the antichrist during the Gog and Magog war and how long will be the duration of this war ? 
(remember league of nations/WW I and UNO/WW II)

 I.   The three key verses in the Holy Bible to prove the timing of the rapture before/during/at the end of the Gog and Magog war 
          ______________________________________________________________________________
 
 
 
Those are the three verses in the Gog and Magog text itself (afterwards followed by the logical interpretation) which prove for 100% sure that the rapture can only be before the Gog and Magog war:
 
 
1.    Ezekiel  38,23 B
 
      "And I will be known in the eyes of many nations and
                    they shall know that I am the Lord"
 
 
 
 
 
2.    Ezekiel 39,29
 
       "Then shall they know that I am the Lord their God..    
                       for I have poured out my spirit upon the house of
                 Israel saith the Lord God"
   
 
 
 
 
3.    Ezekiel 39,28
 
       "But I have gathered them unto their own land and
                      have left none of them anymore there"
             
 
 
 
 
There are very important truths in those three verses and with them it is very easy to prove that the Gog and Magog war can only be after the rapture and most probably the Gog and Magog war is much much nearer than many sleeping christians suppose it  !!!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
I.1  Biblical truth I  =  Pouring out the Spirit only upon Israel
 
The two verses 38,23 and 39,29 have exactly the very same words for the Gentiles/38,23 B and for the Jews/39,29 ("They shall know that I am the Lord") but only for the Jews the Holy Bible promises also "I have poured out my spirit upon the house of Israel" and to the Gentiles the Bible says "...they shall know that I am the Lord" and the very same words to the Jews but the Bible adds "they shall know that I am the Lord their God (Ezekiel 39,29).
 
Today is the time before the rapture and today and until to the day of the rapture the pouring out of the Holy Spirit is taking place allover the world among the Gentiles since the day of Pentecost but now there is nothing at all written in the whole Gog and Magog text about pouring out the Holy Spirit over the Gentiles but only upon the house of Israel and such a
combination that at the very same time (= time of the victory of Israel/end of Gog and Magog war) the Gentiles (Ezekiel 38,23 B) shall know that I am the Lord but the Jews shall know that I am the Lord their God (Ezekiel 39,29) and then only for the Jews promised "I have poured out my spirit upon the house of Israel" (Ezekiel 39,29) is only possible if the rapture at that moment took place already and so the rapture cannot be at the end of the Gog and Magog war and neither after the Gog and Magog war.
 
 
 
 
I.2a  Biblical truth II  =  Not all the Jews already in Israel
 
Here in Switzerland (and probably in the USA it is exactly the same)  I know many christians who fully agree with all the prophetic headlines and endtime doctrines like rapture, antichrist, great tribulation, Gog and Magog war but most of those people changed their mind during the last ten or twenty years and today those christians explain more or less "...well this all takes a little bit longer than we originally expected and this all takes probably another twenty or fifty or even more than fifty years until the forfillment of those prophetic endtime events and of course we are in the final years anf of course the Lord will return some day but not just today or tomorrow but "a little bit later" and so for the next months or few years I expect no greater prophetic event to happen and it will just continue as usual...."
 
And one of their main arguments is the worldwide jewish population and the geographic south of Israel/Sinai desert. There are about fourteen million jews in the whole world and since 1948 only about six millions of them have already returned to their home land Israel and that's why those christians say that Israel which was more or less like a desert in 1948 and now since 1948ff. is becoming more and more fertile and green still has much space in the south/desert of Sinai for the remaining worldwide eight million jews and that this will now take another twenty or fifty or even more than fifty years to completely repopulate Israel with all the worldwide fourteen million Jews.
 
But this verse in Ezekiel 39,28 proves exactly the opposite:
 
There are several verses in the Bible and in the prophetic books (mainly in Isaiah, Sachariah, Jeremiah and Amos) which prophecy that the Jews in the final days will be regathered and return to their home land Israel.
 
But among those several prophetic passages in the Old Testament I only found this one verse in Ezekiel 39,28 with this very important additional statement  "....left none of them any more there" !!!
 
And this passage in Ezekiel 39,28 makes it very clear that  the Gog and Magog war will take place before all the Jews are regathered in Israel and those christians mentioned above ("...for the next months or years we expect nothing main prophetic event to happen and it will just continue as usual...") are wrong with their idea that the Lord will return "a little bit later".
     
And the voices of those sleeping christians are also in complete contradiction to the voice of the Lord Jesus Christ Himself who declared "They eat, they drink, they marry....and then unexpectedly the Son of Man returns".
 
Those voices of the sleeping christians I hear them again and again and I am sure You hear them too but they are completely wrong if one considers Ezekiel 39,28 and the Gog and Magog war is much nearer than many expect it and indeed it is much much later on God's endtime clock than too many sleeping christians are supposing it !!!
 
 
 
 
I. 2b   Why many Jews finally change their mind and return to Israel ?
 
The fact that today about eight of the estimated worldwide fourteen million Jews still live outside of Israel brings automatically the question why the Jews finally change their mind because concerning to Ezekiel 39,28 "Have left none of them there anymore all Jews will return back to their home land Israel but there is a very simple answer to this question and I do not find any other reasonable answer in thinking about it and
 
 
 
 
The simple answer =  the rapture  !!!!!!!
 
 
 
 
The whole remaining time from today until to the rapture there is still the ongoing pouring out and presence of the Holy Spirit in the whole world among the gentile nations and of course this presence of the Holy Spirit is the main reason that even today there is still a certain degree of good order and economical and political stability and the classical system with the several nations allover the world instead of the One World Government and it is the Holy Spirit Himself Who is still the very strong brake in the invisible world and Him trying to brake the worldwide evil as long as possible.
 
But this will immediately change once the rapture took place and the consequences of the rapture for economy, political stability, criminality, peace in the world, pollution and much more will be enormous and only to the negative and destructive direction within very short time.
 
And exactly those consequences of the rapture will the remaining Jews bring to the point to return to their home land Israel: For example why should a successfull jewish businessman leave the USA or Europe and transfer to Israel when he still makes a lot of good business among the Gentiles ? And why should a young jewish husband and father with a stable job and comfortable flat leave his stable situation among the gentiles and move to Israel when he knows that it would be very difficult to have the same stable circumstances in Israel as he has them already now living with his family in a gentile nation ?
 
And so the verse in Ezekiel 39,28 and the fact that all the worldwide remaining jews finally change their mind and  return to their homeland Israel without even one exception ("...left none of them there anymore") and the fact of the worldwide immediate rapture is the only reasonable explanation why all the remaining jews change their mind and is another very strong argument that the rapture can only be before the Gog and Magog war.
 
And there is even more to say about it if one considers the realities in the invisible world and the consequences for the development of a country like it can be seen in many examples in the history. Especially the spiritual situation of Russia and USA a) before  b) after the rapture show into the very same direction and underline completely that the Gog and Magog war can only be after the rapture:
 
 
 
 
 
 
IIa   The faithfulness of the Lord or the disobedience to the
          Lord and to His Holy Spirit and the immediate
        consequences for the history and for the development of
        a country (examples: USA, Switzerland, Russia, France,
        Germany)
        __________________________________________________
 
 
 
USA  (Example: Anno Domini 1776 and 250 years of peace)
 
The history of the USA 1776 ff. is completely different of the history of Europe which is quite "unpeaceful" (and with Switzerland as the main and very interesting exception - see later).
 
As far as I know as a non-american citizen it happened that several british
immigrants founded the USA in the year of the Lord/Anno Domini 1776
and an american pasto explained to me once that they were God fearing
 christians and they called for the help of God Almighty when they founded
the nation and that He Himself might help them not to repeat the same
              mistakes as they happened again and again in the history of Europe and
          that they declared that they wanted to found a nation in the name of the
       Lord and God Almighty and that this new nation with the help of God Almighty
       should be free and independant of the e British Empire and that this
       happened in 1776 and that until today there is the famous independance
       hall in Philadelphia.
 
And today and almost 250 years later there is the fact that the USA is number one in the world and that until today there was never any war inside of the country except of the Civil War in the 19th century.
 
And within the last 250 years since the foundation of the nation in the name of God Almighty the USA became the most powerful country of the world not only concerning military and economical power but surely also the one country with the highest percentage of apostles, evangelists and real soldiers for the kingdom of the Lord and probably also the one country with the highest percentage of financial support for the kingdom of the Lord and surely the one country with the strongest support for Israel and this all as a result 1. of the still very many faithful christians in the USA  and 2. of the call in 1776 for the help of the Almighty and the Lord always did confirm His very great faithfulness 177g ff. until today.
         
 
And how developed Europe and especially the "great" (see later Russia, France, Germany) nations in Europe since the 18th century compared to the USA 1776 ff:
 
Nothing at all stable peace within Europe like in the USA 1776 ff. and just to remind names and dates like Napoleon, dictator Franco and civil war in Spain, Hitler, World War I and II both starting in Central Europe, Civil Wars in Yougoslavia 1991 ff., Stalin and communism and dictatorship in Eastern Europe, German-French war 1870 and many other negative examples in the history of Europe 1776 ff.
 
There must be an explanation and especially a spiritual explanation for such a different history and development between the USA and Europe and I can find no other reasonable explanation for this true fact of the history of the United States than there is just a special blessing of the Lord on the USA because 1. the Lord is always faithful and therefore also faithful to that call for His help at the foundation of the nation in 1776 and 2. the USA being that Gentile nation with always the highest support to Israel and which is automatically rewarded with the blessing of the Lord.
 
 
 
Switzerland (Example: A.D. 1291 and 500 years of piece)
 
The very interesting fact now is that the very same that happened 1776 in Philadelphia also took place 1291 on a very simple meadow in the central Alps of Europe with afterwards exactly the very same consequences (peace within the country for 500 years) like in the USA 1776 ff. (peace within the country for 250 years).
 
At that time in the 13th century the farmers and common people in Europe lived in simple wooden houses and usually were slaves of the mighty kings who lived their luxurious life and were very well protected in their strong
        fortresses made of stone.
 
But there were at the end of the 13th century about thirty farmers in the central Alps who decided not to be any longer the slaves of the king of Habsburg but to become free and independant and they met 1291 in a small mountain meadow called "Ruetli" and like the men 1776 in Philadelphia they asked as God fearing men the Lord and Almighty God to help them to become delivered and independant of any foreign king and ruler.
 
This was the foundation of small Switzerland in 1291 and there were soon some local wars in which the Habsburg king tried to take back the small region he lost and to bring those farmers and simple people in the heart of the Alps again under his dominion. But even with a minority of soldiers and weaker weapons the swiss farmers in the Alps won each battle against the mighty army of Habsburg in just defending themselves for example the famous Morgarten battle in 1315. Other neighbourhood regions in the central Alps wanted to become free too and so the new confederation of 1291 became bigger and stronger over the next centuries. And it was later in the 16th century that those farmers had now for the first time the idea to invade themselves new regions and so they started a war in the north of Italy but exactly now they lost the war in the famous battle of Marignano 1515,  after having won before more or less each defensive battle. And after Marignano battle there was again taken the decision always to be free and neutral and especially never again go abroad for a war and the commitment of 1291 to be free and independant was renewed.
 
And today 2012 there is the true fact that there was never war inside of the country of Switzerland for almost 500 years 1515 ff. except of a very short civil war between the catholics and protestants in the 19th century.
 
And this true historical fact and great miracle took place in a geographical aerea (Europe) where there were always many wars (see list above....) during the last centuries all around this small country of Switzerland in the heart of Europe but for almost 500 years never a war inside of the country itself and the small neutral and free country Switzerland was also the place
of the Zionism conference 1897 and decision to create a nation Israel
in Basel 1897.
           (see also www.wikipedia.org and articles "independance hall" "federal
               charter of 1291" canton of Schwyz" "battle of Morgarten" "battel of
           Marignano")
        
 
And the only reasonable explanation for this great miracle and the very same positive result in two completey different places (USA peace for 250 years and Switzerland peace for 500 years) is the honest call of God fearing christians to the Lord for His help and the very very strong faithfulness of the Lord and the realities in the invisible world. There is the devil and the satanic principalities in the invisible world but there are also the very mighty angels of God in the invisible world and the Lord and His army of mighty angels are much more powerful than the devil.
 
There are also three more very impressive examples concerning light and darkness in the invisible world and light and darkness in the history of a country and its consequences for the development of a country and considering all those five examples about the realities in the invisible world there can finally in IIb. only be one logical conclusion and which just underlines what was already been proved with the Holy Bible in chapter I that the Gog and Magog war for 100% sure can only be after the rapture.
 
 
 
 
Russia (Today too much power of prayer in Russia)
 
The history of Russia I do not know very well but I know that there are also dark chapters in its past like the zars, Lenin and octoberrevolution and putting into practice the atheistic ideas of Marx, communism for many decades, Stalin killing several millions of his own russian people and much more.
 
But there is also the chapter of the end of the Iron Curtain and end of communism in the years 1989/1991ff:
 
I grew up in the east of free and neutral Switzerland and not more than 200 miles away from the ancient Iron Curtain/border to Czekoslovakija. And what happened in 1968 and then later in 1979 and in 1989 was indeed very near and impressive and I will never forget it:
 
The neutral swiss army was always in highest alert of a surprising attack of the Russians to Western Europe during my whole childhood and in this small country with a population of seven milion people there was always the possibility to mobilize 600'000 soldiers (= all healthy men in the age of 20 to 45) within 24 hours and them always having their basic military equipment included the gun at home and in the swiss mountains there were many secret tunnels and hospitals with full nuclear protection and a big deposit of water and food for seven million people for one whole year.
 
And it was in august 1968 - I can remember that day like it was just yesterday - that my mother came home from "shopping" and she and all the other housewifes and mothers in the neighbourhood were crying a lot  and there was immediate and very strong fear that World War III would break out very soon because the Russian army invaded Praha to destroy from the very beginning the new democracy movement in Czekoslovakija and this was too much near and only 300 miles away and everybody bought as much food as possible  and my mother could buy nothing at all and told us children that there was no more food in the supermarket within few hours.
 
Eleven years later in 1979 the Russians invaded Afghanistan on christmas and many pastors started to explain this being step I for the forfillment of the Gog and Magog prophecy and that there would happen now as step II within the coming years the Russian invasion of Iran and then together with Iran and several more nations finally invade as Gog and Magog Israel and that this all would probably happen within few years and with the expected return of the Lord Jesus Christ more or less around the year +/- 2000.
 
But what the pastors were preaching did not happen but instead of it there was the deliverance of communism and the end of the Iron Curtain 1989 and this brings up the question if the end of communism was the light and freedom of the Gospel and deliverance from above or just something like a grey illusion ?
 
And as far as I felt and experienced this all - first a small boy and having the mercy of God to grow up in a free and very stable and democratic country but this always very near the Iron Curtain  and later a born-again christian when the Russians invaded Afghanistan but afterwards Russia itself delivered from communism - I really felt that this was a certain degree of deliverance and the Lord Himself brought a certain deliverance and light and freedom to the communist countries in Eastern Europe and for the main purpose of more freedom to preach the Gospel as it was prophecied by the Lord Jesus Christ Himself in Matthew 24,14 "...and this Gospel shall be preached unto the whole world....and then the end will come" and indeed I think there was a change in the invisible world in the Eastern Europeen countries 1989 ff. In April 1992 I just felt to make a car trip to Praha/Czekoslovakija and then I was in Czekoslovakija for the first time in my life and I  really felt great peace and joy of the Lord for the mighty deliverance He brought but I had also the strong feeling that this would probably only be temporary and that someday the open doors will close again.
 
In Russia there is probably not the same true fact like in the USA or Switzerland with a nation founded in the name of God (and with the visible consequences and blessings as mentioned above) but there is indeed to take note that the deliverance of the satanic spirit and atheistic idea of marxism and communism took place and that there are today many born again christians in Russia too.
 
And many christians here in Switzerland are indeed lukewarm and lazy and have the "blessing" of a too much comfortable country where there is very low struggling for life and surviving and so I even guess that the plain truth today is that in Russia the percentage of christians really in the spirit and in the light of the Lord and as real bride souls might even be higher than so many lazy christians and lukewarm churches here in Switzerland.
 
And I just cannot imagine that today with this light of the Lord and the power of prayer inside of the country Russia the attack of Gog and Magog against Israel will start - see also IIb.
 
The realities of the invisible world (mighty angels of God and demons and principalities against God) the foundation of a nation in the name of the Lord (see USA and Switzerland) the behaviour of a government and of a country towards Israel have always immediate consequences  for the benefit and blessing or for the curse and destruction of a country.
 
It is easy to find many more examples in history and this is important to consider and so later taking the logical conclusion if it is possible or not that under the actual situation of the invisible world in Russia and USA before the rapture to expect the Gog and Magog war against Israel to start or not.
 
Just two more short and very impressive examples (France and Germany) to underline the importance of the invisible world and of the disobedience to the Holy Spirit:
 
 
 
 
France (example: 20'000 christians killed in one night)
 
France is in Europe a great nation like Germany or England. Many great men of God are coming from England (William Booth, Hudson Taylor, John Wesley, Smith Wigglesworth, Charles Spurgeon, Isaac Newton and many more) but this is nothing at all the case in the direct neighbour nation France.
 
France was always a catholic country and never in its history for the last 2000 years there was something like a real spiritual awakening or revival anywhere in France and today France is in Western Europe the one country with the highest percentage of Muslims.
 
But it is also a well known true historical fact that there was in the Middle Age in the capital of Paris a horrible massacre against christians and about 20'000 killed in one night by the catholics and the Lord Himself indeed wanted to bring revival also to this great nation France but this was refused by its leaders from the very beginning and until today there has never been in France a real spiritual breakthrough (see also www.wikipedia.org "St. Bartholomew's Day Massacre")
 
 
 
 
 
Germany   (Examples: Luther, Illuminati 1776, Goethe,
                                      Berlin declaration against the Holy Spirit 1909)
 
Germany is the country where the reformation under Martin Luther took place in the 16th century and surely this new theology was an important step back to the true Gospel of the mercy of the Lord Jesus Christ and a very important step of deliverance of the horrible errors in the doctrine of the catholic church.
 
But Martin Luther was probably not a man filled with the Holy Spirit like Stephanus and other men of God and only very few know that the "great" reformer M. Luther was much against the Jews in his theology and how can a real man of God be at the same time being full of Holy Spirit and as well be against the Jews ? And Luther was also very aggressive and violent to his
wife.
 
And for sure the great reformer - and mostly unknown - and much more in the light of the Lord than Martin Luther was Jan Hus, a catholic priest from Praha/Czekoslovakija who travelled to Konstanz/South of Germany in the 15th century to translate the Wycliff Bible and within short time he made "very nervous" the whole catholic church including the Pope and was soon put into prison but he continued to insist on the truth of the Bible and finally he was accused either to change his theology or to die on the fire and he decided for the truth and he had the very same death as apostle Stephanus and even on the fire he worshipped the Lord and asked Him to forgive to those who burnt him. The grave of Jan Hus is only 20 miles away from my home and there is until today special athmosphere and Heavenly peace there.
 
But Germany is not only the country of M. Luther or Jan Hus, Germany is also the country with the Berlin declaration or of the Illuminati or of the satanic poet Goethe.
 
In the same year of the foundation of the USA was founded in 1776 the Illuminati in Germany  and the most famous poet of Germany is Johann Wolfgang von Goethe but his most famous book "Faust" is very satanic and about the devil and how a soul makes a contract with the devil and Goethe lived more or less in the same time when Illuminati were founded and it is told that the most famous german poet Goethe had a horrible death.
         
 
And in Germany happened also the Berlin declaration of 1909. After the
              Azusa street revival 1906 in Los Angel there was the declaration of               
          Lutherans and evangelicals theologians in Berlin 1909 and they declared
          that the new pentecostal movement in America was not from above but
          from the devil and an official statement to the Holy Spirit that He was not
          welcome in Germany.
 
And what happened shortly after that Berlin declaration 1909: two world wars started both in Germany, WW I Germany attacking France after few days of local conflicts between Austria and Serbija and WW II Germany attacking Poland.
 
Is this just a coincidence or could it not even much more be the immediate consequence of disobedience against the Lord and the refusal of His Holy Spirit ? (see also in www.wikipedia.org "Berlin declaration" "Jan Hus" "Illuminati" "Goethe Faust")
 
                                                              __________
 
 
It is easily possible to find many more of such examples in the history and among all nations and they all show the realities in the invisible world and as well both the Faithfulness and the Holiness of the Lord and of His Holy Spirit Who is God Himself.
 
And considering as well those realities in the invisible world and the actual spiritual situation in the USA and Russia today (before the rapture) there can be only one logical conclusion that the Gog and Magog war can only be after the rapture and so IIb will underline now what was already proved with the Holy Bible in chapter I.
 
 
 
 
 
 
IIb    USA and Russia  a) before    b) after the rapture
 
 
 
A  USA and Russia before the rapture
 
Today it is still the time before the rapture and actually the USA as worldwide Nr 1 with the most powerful army and strongest economy worldwide and the USA still being a lot blessed (surely of all the nations USA mostly supporting Israel + many christian missionaries allover the world + many born-again christians in the USA and among them still many bride souls really walking in the light and spirit of the Lord)  by the Lord because of those true facts and as well blessed by the Lord because of the call for His help in 1776.
 
And there is Russia before the rapture also with many bride souls and the light of the Lord in the country too and actually the leaders of Russia surely too much afraid to start a military attack against Israel also because of the too strong military power of the USA.
 
 
 
B  USA and Russia after the rapture
 
But this constellation will immediately change with the rapture:
 
The USA will fall in a horrible chaos and will be very quickly with a much weaker and desorientated army and economy because of the disorganisation and chaos after the rapture and no more light of the Holy Spirit in the USA as a long time very blessed nation before.
 
And at the very same time when the light of the Holy Spirit and the bride souls will leave the USA by the imminent rapture there will also Russia fall back in its evil days as it was already before under Stalin, communism and the zars.
 
No more light of the Holy Spirit in Russia and no more power of prayer in Russia immediately after the rapture.
 
And exactly this future constellation will easily bring the evil thought to the leader of Gog and Magog to attack Israel and Ezekiel states clearly that the Gog and Magog war starts with the evil thought of the leader of Gog to attack Israel "Thou shalt think an evil thought" Ezekiel 38,10.
 
And considering the spiritual realities today with all the christians in Russia and in the USA it seems indeed impossible today such an evil thougth starting in the mind of the leader of Gog and Magog and also being confronted with the actual circumstances of the USA and Russia today before the rapture and being (unknowingly) influenced by the power of prayer of the christians in Russia walking in the spirit and practicing their authority being given from the Lord and as well practicing the authoritiy of intercession and prayer.
 
The three Bible verses in chapter I prove for 100% sure that the Gog and Magog war can only be after the rapture and now the spiritual realities today in the invisible world in Russia and in the USA as they were explained in details in that whole chapter II just underline and confirm that the Gog and Magog war can only be after the rapture !!!
 
 
 
 
 
 
III.  Contradictions in each of the three possible variants and leaving only variant left = rapture before the Gog and Magog war
           ________________________________________________________________________________
 
 
 
 
This question "Rapture before/during/at the end of Gog and Magog war" can also be tried to answer if coming from the other side around and looking at all possible contradictions in each of the three variants and then only one variant left:
 
 
 
III.1  Contradictions if the rapture is at the end of Gog and Magog war
 
The Bible declares clearly that the Holy Spirit is poured out only in Israel at the end of the Gog and Magog war but declares also that during that war the nations too shall know and see the power of the Lord but nothing mentioned about pouring out the Holy Spirit on the nations.
 
And such a constellation is only possible if the rapture took place already before the end of the Gog and Magog war because otherwise there would of course also being poured out the Holy Spirit upon the nations and not only upon  Israel as the Bible declares in Ezekiel 38,23 and Ezekiel 39,29
 
 
 
 
 
III.2  Contradictions if the rapture is during the Gog and Magog war
 
Jesus himself told us "Watch and pray always for You do not know when the Lord comes back" and "as in the days of Noah... they eat, they drink, they marry....and then the Son of Man comes back  unexpectedly"
 
Of course the Lord spoke also about more and more wars and earthquakes before His return but He did not say specifically that He comes back exactly during an ongoing war but that He returns completely unexpectedly when there is just "business as usual".
 
The ones who teach that the Gog and Magog war must first happen before the rapture so declare too that there can be no imminent rapture anytime now which is a strong contradiction to the teaching of the Lord Jesus Christ Himself and in this case we could immediately stop now to watch and pray and now first only to wait for the beginning of the Gog and Magog war and then very quickly spiritually wake up knowing that the rapture must take place now exactly during that war because at the end of that war the rapture must already have taken place for sure and so the  rapture would be put into a very narrow time frame (probably the Gog and Magog war will be a very short war see chapter V !) and so doctrine III.2 is not logical at all first to exclude the rapture at least until to the beginning of the Gog and Magog war but then surely the rapture must take place now within the very narrow time frame of the duration of the war (later not possible because of contradiction III.1) and so possibility III.2 is first of all a complete contradiction to the teaching of the Lord Jesus Christ Himself.
 
And the second contradiction for possibility III.2 are the realities in the invisible world and mainly in the two countries USA and Russia before and after the rapture and actually before the rapture there is too much light of the Lord and the power of prayer is too much strong not only in the USA but also in Russia until to the day of the rapture and only after the
rapture that evil  thought to start a war against Israel can come up in the mind of the leader ofGog.
 
   
 
 III.3. Contradictions if the rapture is before the Gog and Magog war
      
 
Because of the contradictions in III.1 and III.2 there is only one possibility left and compared to III.1 (rapture at the end of the Gog and Magog war) and to III.2 (rapture during the Gog and Magog war) there are no contradictions at all if the rapture takes place before the Gog and Magog war:
 
 
 
 
 
And the following now is indeed 100% biblically true and 100% logical as well:
 
 
 
  -  No more prophecy in the whole Bible that must compulsory
              still be forfilled before the rapture can take place
         
 
 
  -  The rapture as the next main prophetic event and can 
              take place any second
 
 
       -   The rapture as a complete surprise and as a very
           very powerful message of the Lord (graves opening,
           millions of people and all small children disappearing)
           to the whole world
 
 
   -  No more pouring out of the Holy Spirit to the Gentiles
               after the rapture
 
 
   -  Very quickly economical chaos and military weakness in
               the USA
 
 
          -   Spiritual hoplessness and desperation allover the world
           among the nations and nobody worldwide able to answer
           the cries and and questions of all the desperated persons
           
 
 
   -  No more light of the Lord and no more power of prayer
           in Russia, in the USA and in all other nations
 
 
         - The evil thought to start a war and to attack Israel now
            very easily coming up in the mind of the leader of Gog
 
 
   -  Russia and its allies attacking Israel in the Gog and
           Magog war and this for 100% sure at a time before
           all the wordlwide remaining Jews went back to Israel
 
 
   - During that war the desperate nations see the power of
               the Lord again but no pouring out of the Holy Spirit to
           the nations promised
 
 
   -  Overwhelming victory of Israel against Gog and Magog
               by God Almighty Himself and all nations see this miracle
             
 
   -  Pouring out the Holy Spirit upon Israel (Ezekiel 39,25)
 
 
   -  Worldwide evangelism during the Great Tribulation with
               powerful Jewish Evangelists filled with the Holy Spirit
           same as Stephanus and the other apostles in the Acts
           and Israel and Jerusalem as the worldwide main center
           of evangelism during the Great Tribulation
 
           
 
 
There are strong contradictions in III.1 and III.2 but there are no contradictions at all in III.3. and so I believe and I am convinced for 100% sure that
 
  
  - The rapture can only be before
                   the Gog and Magog war
   
 
  - The rapture can take place any
                  second by now
 
 
 
  - It is much much later on God's
                  endstime clock than too many
       christians are thinking
 
 
 
 
 
 
Another very interesting thought is that there was already Pentecostal in Jerusalem 2000 years ago and the consequence was  the very powerful evangelistic ministry of Peter, Paul and all the other apostles concerning to the book of Acts and the fact that Israel wins the Gog and Magog war and that at the end of the war the Holy Spirit is poured out only upon Israel means that there will be again
 
 
  -  Pentecostal in Jerusalem
     concerning to Ezekiel 39,29
     = pouring out the Holy Spirit
                  upon Israel
 
     -  And the consequences of that
        pouring out of the Holy Spirit
        upon Israel will be the very
        same like 2000 years ago at
        Pentecostal = very powerful
        apostolic ministry of the Jews
        during the Great Tribulation
 
 
    
 
 
 
 
 
IV. Personal inner testimony of other christians
 
 
 
        Compared to 1979 most of the christians here have fallen asleep and do not
        expect any longer the Lord's return very soon but that the Lord will come back
        "a little bit later" than originally expected  when those souls still were in
        the first love to Jesus  but as it should also continue to be concerning to
        Revelation 2,4 "I have somewhat against thee because thou hast left
        thy first love".
          
Trying to discuss such things as the Gog and Magog war, timing of the rapture those sleeping christians always answer more or less the very same as "....it is probably not possible to find out with the scripture the exact timing and the Lord anyhow seems now to return "a little bit later" than originally expected and He will for sure not yet return today or tomorrow".
 
But there is also the second group of christians who are still expecting the return of the Lord and the rapture on a daily basis.
 
And discussing the very same endtime questions like timing of the rapture this second group now answers  completely different than the sleeping ones/group I and the brethren of the second group usually answer more or less "... Even that I do not so much understand about endtime prophecy like others or like our pastor, I just have in my spirit the strong feeling that the rapture is before the Gog and Magog war".
 
Chapter I proves with three Bible verses that the rapture can only be before the Gog and Magog war and now not only chapter II (realities of the invisible world) but also chapter IV (the inner testimony of other awakened christians and brethren who still are in the first love) underline once more and finally that
the rapture can only be before the Gog and Magog war.
 
The most important for a bride is that the bride is in first love with the bridegroom (Revelation 2,4) and the very same it is with the church and with the soon wedding of the lamb - there are today the bride souls who continue to expect the Lord and they remain in the first love but there are also the other ones who have left the first love and those souls will probably also miss the rapture.
 
 
 
 
 
 
V.  Where is the Antichrist during the Gog and Magog War
       and how long will be the duration of that war ?
(Remember League of Nations/WW I and UNO/WW II)
       __________________________________________________
 
 
Probably the Gog and Magog war will be a very short war of not more than a few weeks or even much shorter. Because it is not a normal war between two nations but the Lord and God Almighty Himself will finish this war !
 
And the One Who created Heaven and Earth in seven days was also able to finish the war for Israel in six days (1967).
 
And of course the One Who created Heaven and Earth in seven days is easily able to finish the Gog and Magog war even within five days and again with Israel as the winner.
 
And now the Bible also writes that the Antichrist makes a peace contract with Israel.
 
And the classical situation for a peace contract is that usually a peace contract is always made with the winner of a war. A loser of a war usually not receives a peace contract but only must sign a complete capitulation contract.
 
The Gog and Magog will be a war including the use of nuclear weapons and this will war will shock and paralyze the whole world. But God Himself will finish the war very quickly.
 
And at the end of the Gog and Magog war there will be exactly the same situation like at the end of World War I and World War II:
 
At the end of WW I and WW II the whole world was weakened and with the only one loud cry to never let it happen again such a war like WW I and WW II. And at the end of Gog and Magog war it will be exactly the same again like in 1918 and 1945.
 
And what were the political leaders and the nations doing after 1918 and 1945:
 
At the end of WW I there was founded the League of Nations 1920 in Geneva/Switzerland and after WW II the UNO 1945 in New York.
 
And the very same can very well happen again at the end of Gog and Magog war and this is indeed very interesting that the Bible writes that the Antichrist makes a peace contract with Israel and so it could very well exactly just happen like this immediately after the rapture the Gog and Magog war with a very short duration and with the victory of Israel and exactly then the Antichrist appears on the scene and makes a peace contract with Israel and so this would be very biblical too that the Antichrist appears on the scene soon after the rapture.
 
And of course the whole world will welcome this man because he is the one who brings back again to the whole world stability and peace and people will even be much more blind than for example in 1918 or 1945 because then at that time the Holy Spirit is being taken off by the rapture - and so the Antichrist has a "very easy game to play" to win the whole world for him (with of course one exception = Israel becaus of the pouring out of the Holy Spirit upon Israel).

The fact that the Lord after many years of silence immediately spoke again to me about the Gog and Magog war during last winter 2012 was indeed a very great and positive surprise and can only mean
 
 
 
 
 
   -   The rapture is at the door
 
 
 
 -    It is much much later on God's
                     endtime clock than too many
         are supposing it
 
 
 
 
 
 
If anything should be wrong in my argumentation that the rapture for 100% sure only can be before the Gog and Magog war then I would be the first one to humble and to apologize but of course I can accept as the only
correction only the Holy Bible.
 
Hope You feel encouraged and blessed and meet us soon in Heaven.
