"RE: Chance & Nansings & Donna Danna: 05.04.26: Ezekiel 38 & 39"


Wow, the three of you really have brought out a lot of very interesting information, answers, and conclusions!
Clearly you have been studying this very deeply.

Not sure, if you may remember, but a few years back, I was asking some questions regarding Ezekiel 38 & 39.
I had wondered if parts of what Ezekiel wrote, were prophetic of things just before the second advent of Jesus.
Then, if some parts of what Ezekiel wrote, were prophetic of things at the end of the kingdom age.
Then, if some parts described things happening at both times, i.e. dual fulfillment (e.g. Gog, the chief prince, apparently a celestial being, being the key player in both battles)
What had intrigued me almost as much as those possibilities, was that all three of these things were interspersed throughout what Ezekiel wrote in those two chapters.
To Ezekiel, as well as those in captivity with him, and then the Jews who returned to the land, up to the time Jesus came, the chapters looked like a single campaign in the future.
But now, some 2500 years after the time Ezekiel wrote, and after the Jews are back in the land, again, after their second captivity, it may not necessarily describe a single campaign.
If we are in the last days preceding the tribulation, then there are some things in Ezekiel 38 & 39 that don't seem to line squarely with current conditions, without stretching an interpretation.
e.g. Israel is currently quite far from the very peaceful conditions described by Ezekiel.
Or the question of horses, which doesn't describe the way some of Israel's enemies are preparing for invading.

btw - there have been some stretched interpretations, where the horses are described as what they imagine what Ezekiel, in his time, would think of a futuristic vision of the battle.
That would be similar to how some prophecy teachers of the previous generation also described the horses in Revelation 9, with one saying they might be Chinese soldiers on motorcycles.
I won't go as far as totally dismissing stretched interpretations, as I don't know for sure, but I do think that they are much less likely.
