This book addresses the Bible prophecy of Gog and Magog that Bible teachers seem to have struggled to explain even from times of old. Primary questions the book explores are as follows: What is the link of Gog and Magog, if any, with the Battle of Armageddon? What is the relationship of the end time "man of sin," if any, with Gog, Magog, and Armageddon? Where are the occurrence(s) of these things in human history? The Book of Genesis, prophecies of Isaiah, Ezekiel, Daniel, and Revelation are primary sources used to address and explore answers to these questions.
This book addresses the Bible prophecy of Gog and Magog that Bible teachers seem to have struggled to explain even from times of old. Primary questions the book explores are as follows: What is the relationship of Gog and Magog, if any, with the Battle of Armageddon? What is the link of the end time "man of sin", if any, with Gog, Magog, and Armageddon? Where are the occurrence(s) of these things in human history? The Book of Genesis, prophecies of Isaiah, Ezekiel, Daniel, and Revelation are key sources used to address and explore answers to these questions. The prophecy of Ezekiel Chapter 38 and 39 (Gog & Magog) intersects heavily with the prophecies of Daniel's beasts of Daniel Chapters 2, 7, and 8; Daniel Chapter 9 of 70-weeks; Daniel Chapter 12; Revelation's Chapter 16:16 of Armageddon; and Revelation's Chapter 20:8 of Gog and Magog! The primary focus is about battles that shall occur, and shall be more destructive than any others known to man, until the time of these battles. Daniel's 70-weeks let us see that it shall be the time of the second appearing of Jesus to complete the final 1/2 week, (or 3 1/2years) of His Ministry with the National Jews (or Judah of Israel), since they rejected and helped the Romans crucify Him during His first Ministry and Salvation appearing (about 34 A.D.). Daniel's prophecy about the beast of Daniel Chapters 2; 7; 8 let us see the involvements of world leaders (or the fourth beast along with his ten (10) subordinate beasts) during the seasons of these battles (Ezekiel's Gog & Magog; Revelation's Armageddon; and Revelations Gog & Magog). Revelation Chapter 20 let us see the distinction in Ezekiel's prophecy of God & Magog's defeat, and the Gog & Magog defeated after the 1000 years of righteousness and peaceful reign of Jesus. Daniel Chapter 12 serves as a "Summary" of what should be expected concerning end time prophecies fulfilled in Revelation. The Book of Revelation, taken as a whole, provides us with final words from God; revealing result of what is to come, when He takes away the authority given the man to rule from the time of the Garden in Genesis! I am persuaded, the most obvious of all the reasons for taking man's ruling authority is that the man fell into sin! Therefore, Jesus being our redeemer "man without sin", and God also; shall reign on earth as in heaven for the Godhead! And the redeemed from sin by the Lord Jesus Christ; shall be Saints of God, forever! Hallelujah; Hallelujah; Hallelujah ...
Whereas most students of the Bible have long held that some form of humanism or universalist religion would catapult the Antichrist to world power, this book systematically proves the biblical case for an Islamic Antichrist.
The final book of the Bible, Revelation prophesies the ultimate judgement of mankind in a series of allegorical visions, grisly images and numerological predictions. According to these, empires will fall, the "Beast" will be destroyed and Christ will rule a new Jerusalem. With an introduction by Will Self.
Many Christians think of end times prophecy as a gigantic, intimidating puzzle -- difficult to piece together and impossible to figure out. But every puzzle can be solved if you approach it the right way. Paul Benware compares prophecy to a picture puzzle. Putting the edge pieces together first builds the 'framework' that makes it easier to fit the other pieces in their place. According to Benware, the framework for eschatology is the biblical covenants. He begins his comprehensive survey by explaining the major covenants. Then he discusses several different interpretations of end times prophecy. Benware digs into the details of the Rapture, the Great Tribulation, the judgements and resurrections, and the millennial kingdom. But he also adds a unique, personal element to the study, answering questions as: -Why study bible prophecy? -What difference does it make if I'm premillenial or amillenial? If what the Bible says about the future puzzles you, Understanding End Times Prophecy will help you put together the pieces and see the big picture.
The world seems to be on the brink as tensions in the Middle East are escalating daily. Russia is strengthening its ties with China, North Korea, Syria and Iran arming them with sophisticated military weaponry. Russia is building up its armed forces, returning to Cold War military tactics, including reopening ports used by the former Soviet Union. Tensions between Israel and Iran have never been higher with each nation poised to strike against the other in a moment's notice. Iran's nuclear ambition is well documented and is becoming a menace on the International stage. With Israel's very existence at stake, a preemptive strike against Iran's Russian built nuclear facilities is not out of the realm of possibility. A preemptive strike by Israel could provoke a retaliatory response by Russia and her allies. It seems that in a moment's notice the events described in Ezekiel 38 & 39 could break out right before our eyes...or is it? For many years, contemporary prophecy writers have been telling us that we are living in the last days and the Gog and Magog alliance is one sure sign that the Rapture and the Second Coming of Christ are near. However, there is strong biblical evidence that the candidate often identified as Gog, Russia, may not in fact be the candidate that Ezekiel was referring too. Using the Bible as a guide, we can figure out who this obscure person is instead of using today's newspapers. With a long history of well documented failed predictions by contemporary prophecy writers, maybe it's time that we begin to reevaluate today's popular interpretation of Ezekiel 38 & 39 in light of the Bible.

The last great war is all about end-time prophecy. There is a reason why the beast and false prophet are not mentioned in Ezekiel 38 and 39; it is because of the time period. Who will the leader of this great war be? Where will he come from? Know the warning signs before the Rapture what will they be? The Tribulation period will last seven years, and then what will happen? Satan was cast into the lake of fire, the White Throne Judgment. When does the Antichrist appear, and how long does he last? When does Armageddon start? What is the millennium like? It is not like we have been led to believe. There is no war. Where will Christ be at that time? The Earth scorched by fire, the new heaven and new Earth, the Jews (God's chosen people). The Antichrist comes with his massive, incredible 200 million man army. Revelation 9:15 16 says this is Armageddon. There has never been such an army before. But wait until you hear about Gog and Magog. You will find news here that you will find nowhere else but in the Bible.
