Those of us, refered to as " Crazy Christians " who actually believe whole heartedly that the Bible is the 100% true, Infailible and Inspired Word of God....So then, realize that when the Bible declares something is going to happen....it's sure to happen !
One of these " situations " is the famous prophetic passage from REVELATION....
The Invasion predicted in Revelation chapter 20:9 will occur at the end of the " Millennium " time!
And when it does...
It will grab the attention of the God in heaven !
It is then that God will intervene and destroy the invading forces, that are led and inspired by Satan.
There seems to be those who would speculate about the use of nuclear weapons. How ever the bible speaks of the battle of Armageddon as being the terrible and final conflict from God and spiritual. ( Man's battle would be " nuclear " ) How ever God does not use man's methods.
So then Who all will be Involved in this ???
Many ancient sources have clearly identified Magog, as referring to the Scythians which were the ancestors of the true Russians. Hesiod, the father of Greek didactic poetry, identified Magog with the Scythians and southern Russia in the 7th century B.C. ( Hesiod was a contemporary of Ezekiel. ) Herodotus of Harlicarnassus, known as the Father of History, wrote much about the descendants of Magog by their Greek name, the Scythians, in the 5th century B.C. Archaeological discoveries have confirmed Herodotus' reports. Flavius Josephus records that the Magogians were called, Scythians by the Greeks. Philo, in the 1st century, identifies Magog with southern Russia.
Among the Allies... Ezekiel 38;1-6
The lead ally is listed as, Persia,( Iran ) Ethiopia, and Libya.
Meshech and Tubal refer to regions in ancient Anatolia,Turkey.
Many believe these are among the other Candidates
Cush=Ethiopia, Phut=North Africa/Libya, Gomer=Cimmerians, Togarmah=Armenia/Turkic Tribes,
And from Central Asia= Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan
With Russia's traditional enemies to the west and east,
they may be forced to seek out a southern
strategy ... to develop a new power base of their own.
Which leaves...The Muslim nations. Which is what the allies in this prophecy all seem to be !
The timing of this event
Oddly enough....You will have Christians on different sides of this debate. This Magog Invasion has this unique type of situation....BECAUSE....They that the prince of Gog gathers to make war on the Camp of the Saints, the Beloved City, are all of the Un-Godly people and nations left on earth...
- Daniel chapter 11
- Ezekiel chapters 38 & 39
- Revelation 20:8-9
WE think...as many do, that this Prophecy, will occur at at the end of the Millennium !
Many people concur that this episode will be very possibly around 1007 years, allowing for Daniel 70 weeks,( 7 years ) after the Rapture, and is refered to as, the " Great Tribulation, " then a 1000 years. ( Millennium ), where Satan is bound in the bottomless pit !....
The Battle of Armageddon ....Revelation 20:7,8,9 " An attempt to invade the camp of the Saints, the Beloved City "
- Led by Gog ( The Chief Prince )a.k.a. SATAN
- Attacking the ( Camp of the Saints )
- All of the Un-Godly Allies
The Aftermath results...Revelation 20:9,10 " Invaders Destroyed by Fire "
God intervenes, and comes to the Camp of the Saints rescue !
The chapter in Revelation 20:9, said: " Fire came down from God out of heaven and devoured them. "
It has all the truths of the battle as being from God and spiritual. Refered to as the " Battle of Armageddon " ( Man's battle could only be " nuclear " )God does not use man's methods.

The Battle...the terrible and final conflict. Daniel 11 & Revelation 16:13-21
" An attempt to wage war with The Lamb of God and His people ! "
- Led by the Anti-Christ as " Gog the Chief Prince "
- Gathering together in Har-Magedon,to make war with Jesus The Lamb, on the breadth of the earth, the Holy Mountain !
- Speaks of Fire out of Heaven Earthquakes with mountains and islands disappearing!
100 lb. hailstones, lightening & thunder etc.
- Main ally is Mizraim (Egypt) the King of the South, and Babylon ( Iraq ) a big player at this time also.
>Saddam has been rebuilding it for years now!The Spiritual Babylon is believed to be Rome. )
The Aftermath...Revelation 19:20-21
" The Antichrist and False Prophet Destroyed !"
The beast was seized, and the false prophet who performed the sign in his presence, by which he deceived those who had received the mark of the beast and those who worshipped his image, these two were thrown alive into the lake of fire ( Gehenna ) which burns with brimstone. And the rest were killed with the sword which came from the mouth of Him who sat upon the horse and all the birds were filled with their flesh. |
-1000 YEAR MILLENIAL REIGN-
-SATAN BOUND-
The Battle...The Grand Finale ( Revelation 20:7-9 )
Satan Freed, Trys to destroy Millenial Kingdom !
During the Millenium, Jesus will rule & reign from King David's Throne. Satan is bound for 1000 years. But then when this time is completed, he will be released for alittle while. He will then go out to deceive the nations again ! " Gog and Magog " together for war ! He gathers the nations which are in the four corners of the earth,And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city:( The Earthly Jerusalem ) and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them. ( So many are puzzled and with good reason, about how Magog, ( Russia ) Led by Gog the ( Prince ) a.ka. Satan. This is quite odd, Some say...maybe he is not a regular person but an " Alien/Nephilim " being of some sort which would explain that away I guess ? Very Strange. We have no idea. By then, I am sure God will fill us in on all these things that we can't figure out now !
The Aftermath...(Revelation 20:10)Satan was cast into the Lake of Fire Forever !
The Devil that deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and brimstone where the beast ( anti-christ ) and the false prophet ( pope of the anti-christ ) are also, and they will be tormented day and night forever and ever !
