@BrendaFowler Welcome to the club! 🤠 That's how I felt when I first heard him at my church, the Warehouse Ministries in Sacramento in 1977, so I followed him up to So Shore Lake Tahoe the following night. I still have the cassette I made that evening. It was his, "Get Right or Get Left" era message. I miss him too.
When I listen his sermons they are so appropriate , relevant also very easy to follow and listen too My wife mentioned Pastor Chuck sounds like late actor John Wayne I have to agree so similar but only in that respect , I’m to am so glad that we have this treasure trove of recorded footage Such a blessing to us all 🙏🏿
Great preacher and Bible prophecy expositor. I read his prophecy booklet in the late eighties and it still makes sense today. The fact Saudi Arabia will object to the invasion may be because of the Abraham Accords which he did not live to witness. Really the Spirit of God sees infinitely far for He foresaw this detail.
@@miketheevolutionslayer2649 thanks! He is the first one I ever heard who talked about prophecy. Who would have thought of the impact he would make, even decades later!? ♥️
Listening to Pastor Chuck it's as if he were right here, right now, speaking of all that is taking place here and now in 2023. It would be interesting if he actually were here now to hear his perspective and teaching of Bible Prophecy today. He hit the nail square on the head in all of his messages. God bless him!!
It would take him 2 hours to just say his name. This video made me fall asleep and I'm still hungry for the interpretation of Ezekiel 38-39. This guy had 10 million dollars net worth at death.. FOR WHAT ??????
some years ago serca 1990, my wife and I atended a christian convention here in the north of England called the Keswick convention. We were young in the faith and many of the speakers were bordering on legalism. By the end of the first 3 or four sessions I was about to give up, but then Pastor Chuck Smith came to the podium and spoke on ephesians, and as he spoke I could feel all the angsiety lifting, by the time he finished I was a new man. I just had to go forward and speak to him and tell him all that he had said gave me sutch encouragement that I felt born again all over. We truly are in the days now that Pastor Chuck was talking about. Maranatha come Lord Jesus. 28/10/23
My favorite pastor/teacher. I miss him because Pastor Chuck was so loving and protective of us, his flock. He was a wonderful and interesting teacher of God's word. His love and devotion to Israel was real. He encouraged us to pray for and support Isreal.
I feel so blessed to be able to listen to Pastor Chuck from the recordings made , was such a true servant in sharing God’s word , I look forward to being with him when my time is ready
First time visiting your channel. Just found this teaching. What a great promising day in the New Year of 2024. Pre-Trib Rapture is coming. Praise the Lord for His love is everlasting. Oct. 7th has kicked off. Sooner the Lion of Israel shall be waking up. 🇮🇱🕎✡️❤️
Interesting that Syria in now in a much different state. Jordan and Saudi Arabia participated in shooting down missiles aimed at Israel and there is a joint defense agreement. Saudi Arabia was in talks when the October 7th attack took place. The word of the Lord is awesome. God's people occuy until He comes in Jesus name. (I miss Pastor Chuck too!)
So for a long time I couldn’t understand in the last days how Israel would be referred to as an unwalled village in Ezekiel 38:11. I thought, what are the chances that Israel would be talking about peace and safety but at the same time have no walls (which is what the Bible says will happen before sudden destruction falls on them)? I couldn’t get past that part but I reasoned that everything else happening today looks exactly like the Ezekiel 38 war. Still, I couldn’t believe it was indeed the Ezekiel 38 war because of the unwalled gates reference. Then I listened more closely to Netanyahu’s address to the UN two weeks before Oct. 7th. He said: “But today, as we tear down walls of enmity, Israel can become a bridge of peace and prosperity between these continents.” He also said: “There’s no question, the Abraham Accords heralded the dawn of a new age of peace.” Do you see what his declaration accomplished? He made a declaration to all the countries of the world that Israel has broken down the walls and ushered in a new age of peace! Wow!!! That hit me like a ton of bricks (as my dad would say). So that in effect fulfilled the prophecy of Ezekiel 38:11. And guess who is going to usher in a new age of peace? Yup, that would be Jesus (Yeshua Hamashiach). So if you take the interpretation figuratively and not literally as so often is the case when analyzing the Bible, it then applies 💯. In fact, it’s the only explanation that makes sense. I mean, do you expect Israel to have no walls or gates in the near future? Netanyahu also mentioned peace many times, speaking of the safety the Abraham Accords have produced and looking forward to strengthening bonds with Saudi Arabia. And what happened two weeks after he said that? Sudden destruction fell on Israel. I think that was the beginning of the Ezekiel 38 war because it satisfied all the requirements and the players involved are the same players in Ezekiel 38. Why? Because Russia doesn’t want high speed rail between India and Europe and a new pipeline, fiber optics, and all of the things Netanyahu was speaking of. Iran doesn’t want that either. So now the war has started and it’s not going to stop any time soon. This is prophecy unfolding. That’s what I think. I have been watching for this war to happen for over two decades and now it’s coming to pass. The world is just about to know that He is God (Ezekiel 38:23).
My take is that only the real Israelites will be save and those partyers who were in trespasses of the Holy Land has to go, all part of God strategy to purge the land before the arrival of His Majesty our Lord and Christ.
9/13/2023 wow how things have changed since this message. His message now sounds like it's from another ancient time past😮 Practically everything he has said has changed directions. Back in the year he preached this Jesus's this return was right around the corner. Well now again in 2023 it's become more evident that jesus is now right around the corner. And if it's gonna be another 20 years it's even gonna change even more with the events of Ezekiel 38. Because why would they need the Euphrates river to be dry in order to pass through it, why are they not flying in their jumbo jets to transfer Machines and men. So it's almost like reading an old history book from the 1800s Not knowing what a plane or vehicle was. now we are in 2023 and everything Has changed. It's even getting more exciting.
Why Gog of Ezekiel 38-39 is not the same as Gog of Rev. 20, Satan, or Antichrist. I believe the key to this understanding is that Gog of Ezekiel 38-39 is destroyed, with his armies, and then buried in a dirt grave for 7 months. Neither Antichrist nor Satan is ever buried in a dirt grave. In Rev. 16 & 20 Antichrist is thrown in the Lake of Fire and not buried in any dirt grave. In Rev. 20 Satan is thrown in the Lake of Fire where Antichrist and the False Prophet already are. So, I cannot logically connect how Antichrist or Satan can by Gog of Ezekiel 38-39 since they do not have the same demise. In Rev. 20 these armies that join Satan are consumed by God's hand by fire, never buried, and Satan is thrown in the Lake of Fire just after this. There is no 7-year gap here as far as I can tell. So how do they bury bodies consumed by God's hand by fire in a dirt grave for 7 months. They are just destroyed or vaporized and are never judged in the Book of Life. These beings are never judged in the Book of Life and either see eternity or the Lake of Fire and never see the 2nd death. I also do not believe that weapons will be burnt for 7 years if these armies are completely destroyed just prior to the Book of Life opening and the masses being judged. So, if Gog of Ezekiel 38-39 dies and is buried as it tells us. These armies are buried for 7 months and are flesh not spiritual. I believe once we are raptured, on the 7th Trumpet, then we are transformed into spiritual form and not flesh anymore. So, this is one reason these armies in Rev. 20 are consumed by fire by God's hand and not buried. Then the rest of the spiritual beings left are then judged in the Book of Life and either gain eternity or are thrown in the Lake of Fire. No dirt graves. This is why I believe Gog of Ezekiel 38-39 cannot be either Antichrist or Satan. In Gog of Ezekiel 38-39, we are talking about the 10 toes of clay and iron that will not mix. The Muslim radical nations at the end that go against Israel just prior to the Tribulation and the rise of the Antichrist. The 7th kingdom which is the Ottoman Empire of WWI is the last empire-kingdom prior to the beast kingdom. This kingdom was never really destroyed in WWI and will be revived by Erdogan by 2023. In Daniel 8:7-9 the destruction of the Ram (Persia-Iran) occurs; Goat ‘s horn broken (death of Gog of Ezekiel 38-39(?)), Little Horn (Antichrist) comes forth. What is this transition about? Gog of Ezekiel 38-39 is the White Horseman or Revelation or the 1st Seal and he is not Antichrist.
I listened to Chuck Baldwin's sermon on Ezekiel 38-39 Gog And Magog and why it's NOT Russia. The studies he presents show this was the Seleucid Empire's invasion of Israel led by Antiochus Epiphenes IV between 175-164 BC.
@@bidenwearstrumpscrappypamp1829 yes that is right and Turkey came from the Seleucid Empire footprint. This will be the area that the Antichrist comes from when he rise in the near future.
Multiple Second Coming Visions in Revelation: (book not in chronological order ) Christ returns at the end of Revelation chapter 6, with signs in the sun, moon, and stars, as are found in the Olivet Discourse. Those at the end of the chapter are hiding from the wrath of the Lamb. Why would they be hiding if Christ is not present? The "kings", "captains", "might men", "free", and "bond" are also found in chapter 19 at the return of Christ. He returns at the 7th trumpet, which is the last trumpet in the Bible, and the time of the judgment of the dead in Revelation 11:15-18. The beginning of chapter 12 is a history lesson containing the fall of Satan, and the birth and death of Christ, who is the seed promised to crush the head of Satan in Genesis 3:15. The Second Coming is found in the "harvest" of chapter 14, which is related to the parable of the wheat and tares in Matthew chapter 13. He comes as a thief at Armageddon, and we find the greatest earthquake in history in chapter 16. This occurs when the 7th angel pours out his vial. How powerful is an earthquake which moves islands and destroys the mountains? What is happening to the planet? He comes on a horse in chapter 19. Chapter 20? Does He come with the fire, and the judgment of the dead at the end of chapter 20, which agrees with what Paul said in 2 Thessalonians 1:7-10, and 2 Timothy 4:1? (The time of the judgment of the dead is also found in Revelation 11:18.) There are no mortals left alive on the planet at the end of Matthew 25:31-46. Why does an angel come down from heaven with a key to unlock the bottomless pit in Revelation 9:1-2, if the pit was not already locked? Revelation 9:14 proves some of the angels were previously bound in some manner. Because the two witnesses were bodily resurrected from the dead in Revelation 11, the "first resurrection" at the beginning of Revelation 20 is not the first bodily resurrection in the book. The principle of "Recapitulation" means there are multiple visions of His return.
Pastor Chuck passed away in 2013 but His Channel website has Chucks most recent prophecy teachings. Don Stewart also. He is on RU-vid and took over the show on His Channel.
Pastor Chuck was a fine man. One of the best. But his eschatology was incorrect. You may already know this, but it's called Dispensationalism. This doctrinal system uses a hyper-literal method of Bible interpretation (called hermeneutics), and takes most all of its teaching from already fulfilled Bible prophecies from the old testament, particularly concerning Israel, and puts them all in the future. It is a highly Israel focused teaching. Even when the new testament is used or quoted, it is done so with the same Israel-centricity, and hyper-literal hermeneutic, even from the book of Revelation, which is a highly symbolic book. It's basic doctrines are as follows: A "secret rapture" of both living & dead saints, and a judgment of them for rewards. This is followed by a 7 year tribulation on earth for those who are unsaved, during which time Jews will be saved en masse, although 2/3 will be killed. Those Jews will be evangelists to all those on earth. At the end (some say the middle) of the tribulation, there will be a literal anti-Christ figure that Christ will defeat, when He comes back a second time to earth, to Jerusalem to set up an earthly kingdom for a literal 1,000 years and rule all the nations from Jerusalem. After this there will be another resurrection and a judgment of the wicked, and finally the eternal state with the new heavens and new earth will begin. (Some add additional resurrections & judgments.) This doctrine teaches that most of the prophecies are all in the future, and do not have any past fulfillment. It was invented by a man named John Nelson Darby in 1830 in Plymouth, England. He came to America around the time of the Civil War and a young man named Cyrus Ingerson Scofield was a student of his. Scofield took Darby's ideas and added to them, and published their ideas into the KJV Bible, which came out first in 1909. This Bible with Scofield's notes on the pages was used by a few preachers at various prophecy conferences and later was promoted heavily by an evangelist named Dwight L. Moody, a Baptist preacher who started Moody Bible Institute in Chicago. The doctrine of Dispensationalism caught on in early 20th century America, so much so that Dallas Theological Seminary (Dallas, TX) was formed in order to teach it. They began training ministers who would become pastors in fundamentalist evangelical circles, like Baptists, Pentecostals, some Methodists, etc. It is still popular today, even though scores of people have left it, having been shown by the Lord it is unbiblical. You can verify everything I'm saying online. I hope you will look into what I'm saying because Dispensationalism is a terrible heresy that needs to be exposed, which is what I am trying to do. Blessings in Christ to you.
Ezek 38 breakdown is: "in the latter days" is Ezek 38:1-8a, 16-23 and concerns the end of this age. "in the latter years" is Ezek 38:8b-16a and concerns the end of the Millennium.
I disagree, Revelation 20 is clearly after the millennium. It is also a different event than Ezekiel 38 which is happening before the tribulation of 7 years. Look at what is happening in Israel now. It is literally Zephaniah 2 being fulfilled. I believe shortly Ezekiel 38 and 39 will also be fulfilled.
Will other countries like turkey get involved? Turkey had a early christian following, in the days of the apostle Paul, Antioch was where followers of christ were first named christians, Antioch was part of Turkey, but Turkey today is sadly muslim. In the book of Acts, chapter 27, verse 2, turkey was called Adramyttium, in the book of Genesis turkey was referred to as Haran, in the book of Ezekiel, chapter 38, verse 6, Turkey is referred to as Tagormah, and if you read the whole chapter of 38 of Ezekiel, you will see that Gog, and magog, Russia, ( and by the way, Russia has these names on the outside of some of their submarines, the names of Gog and magog), you will see by reading the whole chaper of 38 of Ezekiel, it will tell you all the countries that are going to join in with Russia to go up against Israel in the last days before Messiah Christ returns with believers to rule and reign with him with a rod of iron for 1000 years. To fully understand what i have just stated requires a lot more teaching, but for now, read all of chapter 38 of Ezekiel following to see what the future holds. God knows what is going to happen before it does, i admonish all readers to read the book of Enoch if you want to know what the future holds in detail. Chapter 38 of Ezekiel : 2 Son of man, set thy face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him, 3 And say, Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal: 4 And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws, and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armour, even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords: 5 Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all of them with shield and helmet: 6 Gomer, and all his bands; the house of Togarmah of the north quarters, and all his bands: and many people with thee. 7 Be thou prepared, and prepare for thyself, thou, and all thy company that are assembled unto thee, and be thou a guard unto them. 8 After many days thou shalt be visited: in the latter years thou shalt come into the land that is brought back from the sword, and is gathered out of many people, against the mountains of Israel, which have been always waste: but it is brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell safely all of them. 9 Thou shalt ascend and come like a storm, thou shalt be like a cloud to cover the land, thou, and all thy bands, and many people with thee. 10 Thus saith the Lord God; It shall also come to pass, that at the same time shall things come into thy mind, and thou shalt think an evil thought: 11 And thou shalt say, I will go up to the land of unwalled villages; I will go to them that are at rest, that dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates, 12 To take a spoil, and to take a prey; to turn thine hand upon the desolate places that are now inhabited, and upon the people that are gathered out of the nations, which have gotten cattle and goods, that dwell in the midst of the land. 13 Sheba, and Dedan, and the merchants of Tarshish, with all the young lions thereof, shall say unto thee, Art thou come to take a spoil? hast thou gathered thy company to take a prey? to carry away silver and gold, to take away cattle and goods, to take a great spoil? 14 Therefore, son of man, prophesy and say unto Gog, Thus saith the Lord God; In that day when my people of Israel dwelleth safely, shalt thou not know it? 15 And thou shalt come from thy place out of the north parts, thou, and many people with thee, all of them riding upon horses, a great company, and a mighty army: 16 And thou shalt come up against my people of Israel, as a cloud to cover the land; it shall be in the latter days, and I will bring thee against my land, that the heathen may know me, when I shall be sanctified in thee, O Gog, before their eyes. 17 Thus saith the Lord God; Art thou he of whom I have spoken in old time by my servants the prophets of Israel, which prophesied in those days many years that I would bring thee against them? 18 And it shall come to pass at the same time when Gog shall come against the land of Israel, saith the Lord God, that my fury shall come up in my face. 19 For in my jealousy and in the fire of my wrath have I spoken, Surely in that day there shall be a great shaking in the land of Israel; 20 So that the fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the heaven, and the beasts of the field, and all creeping things that creep upon the earth, and all the men that are upon the face of the earth, shall shake at my presence, and the mountains shall be thrown down, and the steep places shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground. 21 And I will call for a sword against him throughout all my mountains, saith the Lord God: every man's sword shall be against his brother. 22 And I will plead against him with pestilence and with blood; and I will rain upon him, and upon his bands, and upon the many people that are with him, an overflowing rain, and great hailstones, fire, and brimstone. 23 Thus will I magnify myself, and sanctify myself; and I will be known in the eyes of many nations, and they shall know that I am the Lord.
Pre-Millenial Dispensationalism is another gospel. For the testimony of Jesus is the Spirit of prophesy (Rev 19 :10) not testimony of political Israel.
New Covenant Whole Gospel: Let us now share the Old Testament Gospel found below with the whole world. On the road to Emmaus He said the Old Testament is about Him. He is the very Word of God in John 1:1, 14. Awaken Church to this truth. Jer 31:31 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah: Jer 31:32 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the LORD: Jer 31:33 But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people. Jer 31:34 And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more. Is the most important genealogy in the Bible found in Matthew 1:1 (Gal. 3:16)? Is God's Son the ultimate fulfillment of Israel (John 1:49)? Why has the modern Church done a pitiful job of sharing the Gospel with modern Orthodox Jews? Why would someone tell them they are God's chosen people and then fail to share the Gospel with them? Who is the seed of the woman promised in Genesis 3:15? Who is the "son" in Psalm 2? Who is the "suffering servant" of Isaiah 53? Who would fulfill the New Covenant promised in Jeremiah 31:31-34? Who would fulfill the timeline of Daniel chapter 9 before the second temple was destroyed? Why have we not heard this simple Old Testament Gospel preached on Christian television in the United States on a regular basis? Once a person comes to understand the New Covenant promised to Israel and Judah in Jeremiah 31:31-34, which is found fulfilled by Christ during the first century in Hebrews 8:6-13, and Hebrews 10:16-18, and specifically applied to the Church in 2 Corinthians 3:6-8, and Hebrews 12:22-24, man-made Bible doctrines fall apart. Let us now learn to preach the whole Gospel until He comes back. The King of Israel is risen from the dead! (Acts 2:36) Watch the RU-vid video “The New Covenant” by Bob George.
22:23 Saudi Arabia and Israel are on the brink of a major economic agreement before the recent attack on Israel in early October 2023. Very interesting to watch this in light of current events. I'm not sure what year this was recorded but I am assuming pre 2001.
@@IsraelFernance he took the church in a very different direction. He is friends with Rick Warren who was a world economic forum player. He fired James kaddis and others who speak truth. There are still videos out there about the split when church smith died. He doesn’t believe in teaching Bible prophecy or even the Old Testament. There are a lot of things.
Yes he is correct. The order of conflicts yet to come are: #1 Dan 7:7,19-20a,23-24a, #2 Dan 11:21-28, #3 Dan 11:40b-44, #4 Dan 11:45. #1 conflict is pre 1st Seal, #2 conflict is the plucking up of 3 kings, #3 conflict is Ezek 38, Ps 83 WAR, #4 conflict is the Battle of the Great Day of God Almighty after Jesus appears.
Excellent pastor however ISRAEL has not been restored yet: they were not brought back to the land from the four corners of the earth: and are not in the land of promise
@@Bethiah54 Amos9:14&15 Fulfilled since 1948 and we are observing this now just like Isaiah 17 Ezekiel 38&39 Matthew 24 Christ list of major world events all happening today won't be long now 😎👍
Sir your time-line in this prophecy of Ezekiel 38 is not correct you said that the Jews came back into their land first in 1948 when Israel became a nation again and now you are declaring that there will be an Attack on Israel in these latter days. When Jerusalem and the temple was destroyed in 70Ad that was the Last days which means the Last days of the Jewish Messianic Age from the observance of the Mosaic law because we now have Christ a Priest forever after the order of Melchezedek. But getting back to the Jews time-line of when they first returned back to Jerusalem from the city of Pella. The Jews went back to Jerusalem from Pella ! According to Eusebius and Hegesippus (AD 110-180), the person who led them to Pella and then back to Jerusalem was Symeon the son of Clopas. So the correct time-line is 110ad when they went back to Jerusalem from Pella and then the wars in Jerusalem commenced from 115ad through 1967ad the six day war these wars were the great tribulation that Jesus spoke of in Matthew chapter 24 these wars were the Gog from the land of Magog Wars these wars in Jerusalem were Ten wars which coincides with ( Rev.17:12-17 ) in the book of Ezekiel 38 Gog could not be identified because they were not alive yet the scriptures say that it will be in the Latter days and the ten wars represents the ten kings ( Gog ) And in Revelation chapter 17 when John had his vision these Ten kings were not alive yet and this is why God said Gog but they shall make war with the Lamb and the Lamb shall overcome them and God used the Ten kings according to his will and the Ten kings will hate the whore and make her desolate and naked and burn her with fire and the whore was Jerusalem because Jerusalem was charged with the shedding of the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias and all the innocent blood within the Earth Naked and fire means that the judgment of God will be poured out upon Jerusalem until God's Anger and fury has been accomplished and God's fury was accomplished in the six day war in 1967 The War of Armageddon it occurred in 1918ad Brief Introduction to the Palestinian Problem In 1516, the Ottoman Turks invaded and occupied Palestine, an occupation that lasted for 402 years (1516-1918), except for the 9 years between 1831 and 1840, when the Egyptian Governor Muhammad Ali sent his troops to capture Palestine under the command of his son Ibrahim Pasha. The Ottoman occupation of Palestine ended by the end of World War I, after the Ottoman Empire along with the other 'Central Powers' lost the war to the 'Allies'. In 1917, the British forces entered Palestine, and by 1918, the Ottoman rule over Palestine was ended following the defeat of its forces at the Battle of Megiddo in September 1918. Under the 'Sykes-Picot Agreement of 1916', it was envisioned that most of Palestine, after ending the Ottoman control over it, would become an international zone not under direct French or British colonial control. However, after the war, Palestine was left under British Military Occupation from 1917 until 1920, where a British Civil Administration was established in anticipation of the granting of a formal League of Nations Mandate to the United Kingdom, which was approved in July 1922 and came into effect in September 1923. During the period Palestine was under British occupation, the Zionists were putting pressure on the British Government to facilitate the establishment of a 'Jewish Homeland' on the 'Land of Palestine'. On the 2nd November 1917, the British responded to the Zionist demands through what became to be known as the 'Balfour Declaration'. Arthur Balfour, the British Foreign Secretary at the time, handed a letter to Lord Rothschild (a leader of the British Jewish community) for transmission to the Zionist Federation (a private Zionist organization), that declared the support of His Majesty's Government to the Zionists' plans of establishing a Jewish 'national home' in Palestine, 'with the condition that nothing be done which might prejudice the rights of existing communities there'. Since that date, Jewish immigration to Palestine, which started around 1882, increased rapidly. Conflicts erupted between the new Jewish settlers and the local Palestinian people, each fought for their survival. At the beginning they fought over land, water, habitat, religious rights, etc., but later on it developed into a conflict of 'national identity' that led to brutal fighting. The Palestinian people rebelled against the British Mandate and its policies of settling foreigners on their land; meanwhile, the Jewish gangs continued to carry attacks on the Palestinian people as well as on the British mandate forces. So, the United Nations on the 29th November 1947 agreed upon a 'Partition Plan of Palestine' [see map], which would divide Palestine into two independent States; one for the Jews and another for the Palestinians, while keeping Jerusalem under international administration, by declaring it a 'Corpus Separatum'. However, the Plan was not implemented. The British Mandate of Palestine was coming towards its end in 1948. On the 14th May 1948, the day before the British withdrawal, the Jewish leaders declared 'The Independent State of Israel'. Soon after the withdrawal took place on the 15th May 1948, war erupted between the newly established Israeli State and the neighboring Arab countries. The war ended with the establishment of the 'Armistice Lines of 1949', also called 'Green Line'[see map]. Palestine was divided into three parts, the land that the Jews occupied during the war, which constitute the current Israeli State, and the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, was left to the Jordanian Administration, and the Gaza Strip was left to the Egyptian Administration. The 1948-war has significant meaning for both the Israelis and the Palestinians. For the Israeli Jews, the war marks the successful establishment of the Israeli State, but for the Palestinians, it signifies the events referred to as 'Al Nakba' (the Catastrophe). For during and after the 1948-war, at least 418 Palestinian villages were depopulated and demolished, and about 80% of the Palestinian population were expelled from the newly created State of Israel, and were banned by Israel to return to their homes and lands And now God's fury and anger has been accomplished Israel is protected and Jesus said in Matthew 24:21 that it will be great tribulation such as was since the beginning of the creation of the world to this time : And No Nor Ever shall be There will be no more catastrophic attacks of war on Israel. Ezekiel 5:12-13 12 A third part of thee shall die with the pestilence, and with famine shall they be consumed in the midst of thee: and a third part shall fall by the sword round about thee; and I will scatter a third part into all the winds, and I will draw out a sword after them. 13 Thus shall mine anger be accomplished, and I will cause my fury to rest upon them, and I will be comforted: and they shall know that I the Lord have spoken it in my zeal, when I have accomplished my fury in them. Amen 🙏
Question: *who* is Gog? This is the final 'prophesy against' in the book of Ezekiel. Son of man, set thy face against Gog H1463 ["mountain"], the land of Magog, the chief prince H5387 ["one lifted up"] of Meshech H4902 ["drawing out"] and Tubal H8422 ["thou shall be brought"], and prophesy against *him* [satan] (Thine heart was *lifted up* because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee. Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffick; therefore will *I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee* it shall devour thee, and *I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth* in the sight of all them that behold thee. {Ezekiel 28:17-18}) ... And say, Thus saith the Lord YHWH; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal: {Ezekiel 38:2-3} (Behold, I am against thee, O *destroying mountain* [symbolic of a kingdom] saith the LORD, which destroyest all the earth: and I will stretch out mine hand upon thee, and roll thee down from the rocks, and will make thee a burnt mountain. {Jeremiah 51:25}) .... After many days thou shalt be visited: in the latter years thou shalt come into the land that is *brought back from the sword* and is gathered out of many people, *against the mountains of Israel* [mountain against mountain] which have been always waste: but it is brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell safely all of them. Thou shalt ascend and come like a storm, thou shalt be like a cloud to cover the land, thou, and all thy bands [fallen angels], and *many people with thee* {Ezekiel 38:8-9} .... And *thou shalt come up against my people of Israel* as a cloud to cover the land; it shall be in the latter days, and I will bring thee against my land, that the heathen may know me, when I shall be sanctified in thee, O Gog, before their eyes. Thus saith the Lord YHWH; *Art thou he of whom I have spoken in old time by my servants the prophets of Israel* which prophesied in those days many years that I would bring thee against them? And it shall come to pass at the same time when Gog shall come against the land of Israel, saith the Lord GOD, that my fury shall come up in my face. For in my jealousy and in *the fire of my wrath* have I spoken, Surely in that day there shall be a great shaking in the land of Israel; {Ezekiel 38:16-19} And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will give unto Gog a place there of graves in Israel, the valley of the passengers on the east of the sea: and it shall stop the noses of the passengers: and *there shall they bury Gog* and all *his* multitude: and they shall call it The valley of *Hamongog* [multitude of Gog] {Ezekiel 39:11} Parallel scriptures: And *when the thousand years are expired* satan shall be loosed out of his prison, And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, *Gog and Magog* to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea. And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them. {Revelation 20:7-9} Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the (new Jerusalem) city. For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie. {Revelation 22:14-15} in the last days it shall come to pass, that the mountain of the house of the LORD shall be established in the top of the mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills; and people shall flow unto it. .... And he [Jesus Christ] shall judge among many people, and rebuke strong nations afar off; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up a sword against nation, *neither shall they learn war any more* {Micah 4:1&3} ^ A contrasting verse concerning the battle of Armageddon. Beat your plowshares into swords, and your pruninghooks into spears: let the weak say, I am strong. Assemble yourselves, and come, all ye heathen, and gather yourselves together round about: thither cause thy mighty ones to come down, O LORD. Let the heathen [unbelievers] be wakened, and come up to the valley of Jehoshaphat: for there will I sit to judge all the heathen round about. {Joel 3:10-12}
It says the land will be like Eden. Israel is not that. It says that ALL Jews will be IN the land. They are not. Israel living "confident" instead of in peace? That's dumb. These things will not be fully fulfilled until after millennial reign Rev 20:7-10.
@@whopua How much technology will be left after the Tribulation? Will there be electricity? Do you think Jesus is going to rebuild power plants to run the world during the Millennial Reign? Sin will be controlled and too much tech breeds sin. It won't be allowed to grow or flourish. Christ is Creator and restores a righteous environment again -like Eden. Swords are beaten into plowshares in the Millennium, no one makes weapons anymore. There is true peace. But after satan and Gog rebel, God destroys them. Israel collects all the leftover wood (primitive armor) that's just lying in the battle ground, instead of harvesting a forest for fuel. It's easy work, a pleasure that provides a need for 7 years. This reveals how big of a rebellion it was. The new heaven and earth come but there is no immediate time requirement. Only that it comes in the end, after Gog Magog invasion, satan into lake of fire and White Throne Judgment, and when the Son hands over the Kingdom to the Father (1Cor 15:24). Don't ignore, dismiss or over symbolize any part of Ezekiel 33-39. All 7 chapters are one vision referring to the Kingdom millennial period. Chuck makes this error and so the Bible proves him very wrong on the Magog timing. Respectfully speaking, study more intently with a broader scope. Remember Who wrote every verse. Be open to learning spiritually rather than agreeing with what sounds good in passing. God's Word is not obligated to meet your imagination. It seems if you can't make sense of insight on prophetic scripture, you call it ridiculous. But because you've been directed to a greater truth beyond your current discernment, don't just sinfully reject it.
The new covenant "Israel of God" is the church. Galatians 6:16. The people/nation in the middle east are antichrists. 1 John 2:22-23. All believers in Jesus Christ (both J.e.w.s. & Gentiles) are the "Israel of God".
