"When Is The Gog and Magog Attack on "Unwalled Villages"?"


 
Hello John and Doves,
 
So when is this attack on "unwalled villages" on the prophetic timeline?
 
I went to the Hebrew on biblehub.com to look at the translation of Ezekiel 38:11: "And You will say I will go up against a land of unwalled villages.  I will go to a peaceful people who dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls and bars and gates not having."
Ezekiel 38:11 Interlinear: And thou hast said: I go up against a land of unwalled villages, I go in to those at rest, dwelling confidently, All of them are dwelling without walls, And bar and doors they have not.
 
The Interlinear translation is:  "And You will say I will go up against a land of unwalled villages.  I will go to a peaceful people who dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls and bars and not having gates."
 
Since October 7, 2023, Israelis are not living in peace and safety - everyone is watchful and anxious.  Walls, gates and bars are up and watched.
 
So, how can we get to Ezekiel 38 in today's 'climate' of constant terrorist attacks on Israeli soil?
 
I was listening to Jack Hibbs and Amir Tsarfati talk the other night:  
The Beginning of The End (Ezekiel 36-38) - YouTube
 run time 1:16:09
 
Amir made the comment that Israel is not living in peace and security - so concerning the Gog and Magog War - this time is future -   He said, that when the Ezekiel war comes, it is with Israel being safe, secure and prosperous with unwalled villages and towns.  This is what is needed for the Ezekiel war to come to pass.  Israel must be strong, prosperous and safe.  And Iran can not dominate this whole thing - Iran joins Gog - Iran doesn't start the Gog war.  Iran will have to be quiet, submissive and maybe humiliated for a while and not lean on it's proxies.  
 
How would that even be possible now??
 
"Implementing the two-state solution is the best solution to break the cycle of conflict and suffering, and enforce a new reality in which the entire region, including Israel, enjoys security and coexistence..."
Saudi Arabia forms global alliance to push for Israeli-Palestinian two-state solution
 
"European, Arab and Islamic nations have launched an initiative to strengthen support for a Palestinian state and its institutions, and prepare for a future after the war in Gaza and escalating conflict in Lebanon, Norway's' foreign minister (Espen Eide) said Friday....there is a growing consensus in the international community from Western countries, from Arab countries, from the Global South, that we need to establish a Palestinian Authority, a Palestinian government, a Palestinian state - and the Palestinian state has to be recognized."
 
Eide and Saudi Arabia's foreign minister "co-chaired the session (at the U.N. meeting last week) to launch "The Global Alliance for the Implementation of a Palestinian State and a Two-State Solution."
 
They don't think this will "gain traction" with Netanyahu. Eide said that "Israel's occupation is continuing, and there are no negotiations leading to a final settlement and an independent Palestinian state...which led to Norway's decision in May to recognize a Palestinian State."
 
149 U.N. members, out of 193, have recognized a Palestinian state.
 
"EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell urged all countries to take practical measures "to bring about the free Palestine next to a secure Israel."
 
Future meetings are planned in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia and Brussels.  Eide said that "..work on this initiative will move ahead quickly."
 
How in the world could countries secure and guarantee Israel's peace and security?  Israel does not have a single country they can trust with this.  Israel no longer trusts the Biden administration.
 
Not a peep about the evil Charters of Muslim countries that cry out  "from the river to the sea".  These charters are fine with the U.N., the U.S. etc.  (What if the powerful Mexican cartels had such a charter for the U.S. - "from the Atlantic to the Pacific" and were lobbing hundreds of bombs over into Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and California?  And the U.N. wanted the U.S. to cede off those states to Mexico - in exchange for "peace and security"??  Well.... under Biden-Harris, they'd probably gladly cede those states to Mexico.  President Trump would blast them to you know where.)
 
So THEY are promising peace and security for Israel, IF Israel agrees to a two-state solution with pre-67 Israeli borders.  Netanyahu and other Jews in Israel know this is unsustainable for the survival of Israel and they know that the enemies of Israel are sworn to the destruction of Israel - Iran and the Twelvers, the Houthis, Hezbollah and Hamas.  
 
How in the world, does the U.S., the U.N. - Norway, Saudi Arabia - believe there can be peace and security for Israel when the charters of Hezbollah, Hamas, and other anti-Israel groups hold a genocidal ideology against Israel/Jews?
Hamas’s Genocidal Intentions Were Never a Secret - The Atlantic
 
There is no doubt, these 'organizations' will never stop until Israel is destroyed and the Jewish people are annihilated from the land.
 
Hamas:
 
Hamas "will strive to raise the banner of Allah over every inch of Palestine."  
 
"Only under the shadow of Islam could the members of all regions coexist in safety and security for their lives, properties and rights..the Global Islamic Message is "the house of war and the house of Islam "My way or no way".  "In the abasence of Islam, conflict arises, oppression reigns, corruption is rampant and struggles and wars prevail....When the Faith wanes, there is no security....Those who wish to live their life without religion have made annihilation the equivalent of life."
 
Hezbollah:
 
Hezbollah exists for the elimination of the State of Israel.  This is their primary goal.  "..our struggle will end only when this entity (Israel) is obliterated."  They pledge to "fight until the Zionist entity was destroyed."
 
 Hezbollah is a radicalized Shiia ideology. 
 
"Nasrallah has spend much of the past eighteen years in fortified bunkers, surrounded by guards.  He has been largely in hiding since the last war between Israel and Hezbollah, in 2006 - a thirty-four day spasm of violence that left Lebanon in ruins."  The IAF "targeted Nasrallah twice, missing both times.  "The third time, we won't miss" an Israeli official said.
 
The clerics in Iran control Hezbollah - "Tehran is ultimately in charge of his (Hezbollah's) troops; Iranians operatives were working alongside Hezbollah in southern Lebanon.  "The Iranians control every bullet we have."
 
A Hezbollah commander said, when asked if the "war between Hezbollah and the Israelis could ever be resolved, and he replied "When they leave on the same boat they came in on."
 
Peace and Security?:
 
How can any country secure 'peace and security' surrounded by enemies sworn to your destruction?  And it's not just with the Houthi, Hamas, and Hezbollah - there are many, many more:  Palestinian Islamic Jihad, Al Quds Brigades, the Popular Resistance Committees, Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, Abu Ali Mustafa Brigades, Jihad Jibril Brigades, Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine, the National Resistance Brigades, Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, the Palestinian Mujahideen Movement, add the anti-Israel/Jew organizations in Syria, Turkey, Iraq, Yemen, etc.  Add to this list those in the U.S. Congress, Biden administration, U.S. military, the E.U., the U.N.....  Who does unconditionally support Israel??
 
Iran:
 
And Iran's leadership is Twelvers.  I've written about them before.  And Hezbollah is Iranian Shiia.  The Twelvers are wanting an apocalypse to bring back their Mahdi who will then set up a world caliphate.  How would these Twelvers ever become "quiet, submissive, and maybe humiliated" and not use their proxies? They want and apocalypse.  They want nuclear war with Israel.
 
Iran has sunk billions into building up and arming Hezbollah and it's Revolutionary Guard and others - all to use against their enemy Israel.  I don't see Iran as stopping their aggression towards Israel.  (Maybe a pause for Israel to pull back to the pre-67 borders? - but only a 'pause'.  Then who could stop Iran and her proxies moving in to destroy Israel??)
 
All of the Muslim countries in the Middle East know exactly where Iran stands...and so does Israel.
 
Seems the West - the U.N., the U.S., the E.U. - are either in denial about this or spiritually blinded or know it and don't care....they 'blindly' think that if Israel just goes back to pre-67 borders and the "Palestinians" have their state, all will be well.  The two-sides can live in peace.  How absolutely naive!  .
 
There is absolutely NO WAY the impotent U.N. or even the U.S. or any of the Arab countries could protect Israel from the Muslim hordes, if Israel pulled back to the pre-67 borders.
 
Will A Two State Solution Bring Peace?
 
At present, under the conditions we see now, there is absolutely no way peace and security can come to Israel now or anytime in the near future.  Netanyahu sees this. 
 
I do not see Persia - Iran - as being added to the armies  of Gog - I see them as willing partners with Turkey, Russia, Ethiopia, etc.  I see them in this together.  Something they have all planned to do.  I don't think anything needs to change with Iran.
 
A few weeks ago, I wrote a letter about what a friend told me recently - that he believes the Gog war beginnings were on Oct 7, 2023 - Israel was peacefully co-existing with their guard down - then whammo!  And this will be the last time Israel will be "unwalled, without bars and gates".  That appears to make sense, with what I see now.
 
October 7, 2023 was "Shemini Atzeret" - the 'last great day'.  The anniversary of the day Jesus said "If any man thirst, let him come unto me and drink...out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water."  John 7:37/38.  This day was not a coincidence.  A year later takes us to the time of Rosh Hashanah/Feast of Trumpets 2024.  Lots going on in the sky in October:

Timing Of The Gog War:
 
Jack said that there are some that say the Gog war comes before the Rapture and some say after the Rapture - either way, he believes it will be near to the time of the Rapture.  And some believe the Gog war occurs before the final battles in The Revelation or during the messianic age.
 
The timing I lean towards is a Gog war right before the Rapture or immediately following the Rapture.  That Israel has already been in "peace and safety" and that time is over and not coming back...there are just too many enemies, too much hate/evil...and Netanyahu et al will not cede any more Jewish land and will not approve a Palestinian State or two-state solution.  Even though the U.N. hopes to move quickly on this - dividing Israel won't sit well with The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
 
My thoughts could change on this if Netanyahu is removed as Prime Minister  Or Israel is black-mailed into a two-state solution (running them out of bombs/munitions in exchange for a two-state solution, or something similar) - or Harris become president (I've heard she is even more hard lined against Israel and Netanyahu)  or some other unforeseen 'complication'.  
 
Jack said that Israel did not tell the U.S. of it's planned attack on Nasrallah's hiding place.  (Lots of clapping from Jack's congregation!)  It's good that Israel sees that this Biden-Harris administration hates the Jewish state and wants it gone.  Obama-Biden have sided with Iran from the get-go.  And Biden announced that the U.S. will not share anymore intelligence with Israel.  And many countries, including the U.S., are using the 'Israeli is committing genocide and causing a humanitarian crisis' laws to 'pause' their military weapons, assistance to Israel now.  If they continue this boycott, Israel will be hard pressed to continue any wars.....
 
These people wanting a two-state solution have no clue what God has said about all of this. And they don't care.  And I really can't see much time between now and the Rapture.  Jews who read The Bible know what Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Isaiah, Daniel, etc have said about Israel and the end times.. and the Torah readers are aware of the land that God has promised Abraham.  And they know that God delivers Israel from her enemies.  But too many Jews aren't reading The Bible or Torah or interested in what God has planned.  They are relying on 'man'.  Hopefully soon, that will all change.
 
 And my finite mind sees through a dark glass.
 
It's pretty bad over there...The Israeli military isn't letting up on Lebanon, calling on Lebanese to evacuate certain buildings and massive explosions still happening in Beirut 9/30 and the U.S. is sending a few thousand more troops to the Middle East along with squadrons of F-15E Strike Eagle, A-10, F-16 and F-22. and Hamas announced another senior leader taken out by Israel.  And Israel has announced an invasion of southern Lebanon to begin.  Israeli Defense Minister Gallant said the next stage of the war will start soon.  Israel isn't done.  IF they continue - this war will take them to Damascus and Tehran.
 
God has this all planned out - nothing will happen outside of His will.  We are just trying to fit the pieces together- studying His Word and watching Israel.  The Rapture must be soon.
 
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem!
 
Maranatha~
