Ezekiel, Gog, & Armageddon: The Timing |When Does Gog’s Invasion Occur? | Ezekiel 38-39 Part VII

#ezekiel #prophecy #endtimes

Many theories have been proposed as to the timing of Gog’s invasion of Israel.

Does Ezekiel 38-39 have any relationship to Armageddon? Where does this invasion fall in relation to the return of Jesus Christ? What does John’s use of “Gog and Magog” in Revelation 21 add to the equation?

In this study we will seek to answer these questions. The verses I will cite in support of my view might surprise you!

There is also a very important textual criticism issue in Ezekiel 39:7, which will once again take us into Codex Vaticanus. I believe the correct understanding of this textual question is very important in interpreting the timing of Ezekiel’s prophecy.

Join us as we continue our study of the famous Gog and Magog prophecy!
