A Goodrick (9 May 2021)
"Mt. Hermon, Magog War"


 
John and Doves,

The Magog war will most likely occur this year, 2021. I don't say this for sure, but because the time seems ripe.

Ezekiel tells us in Chapter 38 where the location of the Russian invasion will take place...on the Mountains of Israel.
verses 9,15,16, 21.

The highest mountain in Israel is north along the Lebanese and Syrian borders, and is Mount Herman, meaning
 "Holy Mountain".

This is where Jesus took
Peter, James and John for His glorious Transfiguration.
Luke 9:28-36.
And it is also where
Moses and Elijah appeared, confirming that Jesus was the fulfillment of both the Law and the Prophets; and where the Father audibly said,
 "This is my beloved Son. 
Hear Him".
To me, this is why it is called the 
"Holy Mountain".

Let's take a look at it's majesty:

You will see the I D F military  outpost up there.
Israel calls it it's
 "Northern Front" where daily there is warfare going on against the attacks from Hezzbolah and the Iranian proxy armies of Russia, Syria and Turkey. The proxy armies attack our U.S. bases in Iraq. Let's keep praying for their safety.

Just below Mt. Hermon is the Hula Valley where the Jordan River begins.
And there is a Nature Reserve there called
 "Banyas."
(pronounced
 "Ban knee us")

My husband Jim and I were fortunate to be in this area in September of 1980.
Banyas is also called 
"Caesarea Philippi" and this is where Jesus asked Peter "but who do you say that I am?"
And Peter answered "Thou art the Christ (Messiah), the Son of the Living God."
John 6:69

Caesarea Philippi is a very beautiful meditative area with waterfalls.
It is special.

Our hosts in Israel were Menashe and Harii and 
their children are named Golan, Gilead, and Yonot.(meaning 'Dove of Peace').

For the Rosh Hoshanna holiday, they invited us North to have dinner at their relative's kibbutz,
Kiryat Shmona.

While there, we had apples for dessert. As Jim and I were enjoying the very good apples, we realized the flavor was extraordinarily tasty, and asked them why their apples were more flavorable than any we had eaten before, and they told us that the farming area surrounding them had volcanic soil, and that the lava-basalt gave them their special flavor.

Putting it Together in 2021

We have identified the location of the Magog war as being upon Mt. Hermon with the Hula Valley below.
The field below was originally called 
"The Valley of Tears" where many had died in a battle years ago.

Today it is my opinion that in 2021 that same location will be where modern militaries will be 
dying for 5 months from chemical warfare from drone-swarms, 
( Rev. 9:5, 6) and it will take 7 months to bury the dead. Ezekiel 39:15
There will also be overwhelming radiation. 

The "valley of tears" will then be called
"Hamon-Gog"...the names of Israel's
first arch-enemy ( Hamon, in the Book of Esther) and "Gog", their last arch-enemy, the leader of modern Russia.
Their cemetery will be in the city of Hamonah, meaning "warring multitude".

Yes, Magog and her allies will lose big time in that war. Yet it will not be an Israeli military victory. 
By that I mean that Israel's weapons and skills will not count in the final assessment.

For too long, Israel has trusted in man, and in U.S. protection and treaties,  politics and diplomacy....
leaning upon a reed.

God is a jealous God and He abhors Israel trusting in anyone but Almighty God Himself to protect them. Certainly not
trusting in technology as a god (A I).

And just like Jehosophat, God fights the battle for them. He *alone* gets the glory of Victory in the Magog war.
Ez.38:23;  
Ez.39:6,7; 22, 28.
" And they shall know that I am the LORD", a phrase most used in Exodus.

How will God get the victory that Israel cannot claim? By his weapons of warfare in the heavens and on the earth.

First, He will have an *unprecedented earthquake* felt by everything in the air, land and sea ( Ez. 38 :20)

Hebrews 12:26-28
The Lord tells us that He will not only shake the earth, but heaven also.
Have you noticed all the sky phenomonom?

He tells us His motive...so that He might get us to let go of the unstable things in our lives, and cleave solely to the stable priorities in our lives.

Remember those apples?
Well it is my belief that the long ago "extinct" Mt. Bentel volcano in the Mt . Hermon range, will come alive again and will explode with a great force, erupting with brimstone and fire. ( EZ. 38:22).

Actually there are 7 "extinct" volcanoes in the Eastern section of Mt. Hermon range, alongside the Syrian border, near the Golan Heights.

Verse 22 of Ez. 38 tells us also that God will rain down great hailstones...
asteroids???
God lists all his natural phenomenon of war in Job 38.

Commanders in battle often tell of how *weather*  determines the victories of war.

When Jim and I were in Nazareth at the ancient synagogue that Jesus attended, we could see the black basalt in the limestone constructed synagogue....proof of the long ago explosions of 
Mt. Bentel.

Exodus 15:3
"The LORD is a man of war".

Psalm 20:7, 8
"Some trust in chariots, and some in horses.
But we will remember the name of the LORD our God."
"They are brought down and fallen, but we are risen, and stand upright."

Psalm 144:5
"Bow the heavens, O LORD, and come down.
Touch the mountains, and they shall smoke."

Thank you God, for the coming Victory--against all odds-- You will give to your people.Amen.
