Satan's Army prepares to attack Israel the prophecy will be [Music] fulfilled imagine this a great Army from different tribes led by Satan himself their target is the very city of God what happens next prophecy has always been a fascinating Topic in the Bible prophecies are powerful as there are God's promises of events that are yet to happen the prophecy of Satan gathering in Army into Israel is one of the most fascinating events that have not yet happened watch this video Until the End to find out why this battle happens the victor of this great battle
and where you would be during this epic and final battle explaining Satan's War involves addressing three complex puzzles let's break them down into simpler terms and discuss how they relate puzzle one if Satan is coming when will he arrive this war will take place during a Time called Satan's short season or the last days of Satan after Jesus comes back from Heaven he'll set up this whole new kingdom this is a great thing however Jesus will not Reign for eternity that comes later first Jesus will reign for a thousand years and bound the devil for
only a thousand years the Bible tells us that when Christ comes back he'll become the king in Jerusalem and sit on David's Throne then I saw an angel coming coming down from heaven holding the key of the abyss and a great chain in his hand and he took hold of the Dragon The Serpent of old who is the devil and Satan and bound him for a thousand years and he threw him into the abyss and shut it and sealed it over him so that he would not deceive the Nations any longer until the thousand years
were completed after these things he must be released for a short time Revelation 20 1-3 the angel who will defeat Satan is not named we don't know if it's Michael Gabriel or another critical Angel however it would not be surprising if this is Angel Michael is he's faced Satan successfully on two occasions the fact that it's not the father or Christ who confront Satan but an unnamed Angel shows the Lesser importance of Satan however Satan will not be shut forever it's important to understand that Satan is not God's equal or opposite God allows Satan to
exist because even in his wrongdoing he still serves God's plans in a roundabout way Satan is always lied and deceived the world and that's why he will be that he should deceive the Nations no more Satan mostly tries to get to us by using lies and tricks because of this the best way to protect ourselves and fight back is by knowing the truth from God's word it's clear that Satan is still sneaky proving that he isn't stuck like we might believe Peter warned us that Satan is free to roam around like a roaring lion looking
for those he can hurt some people wonder what kind of chain can hold the devil we don't really know but God can create a unique chain just for that purpose right now we understand that evil spirits are locked up and chained Jude 6 if God can chain them now he can undoubtedly chain Satan for a thousand years this Thousand-Year period is often called the Millennium throughout church history people have understood the Millennium in many different ways you can imagine what a villain does when given a thousand years to Stew on their thoughts this will not
lead to anything good you can imagine the gears of plans so evil and intense so catastrophic that it would shake the world and for a while the world goes on without the influence of Satan during this time Jesus Will rule but there will be a significant change during Satan's lockdown during the Millennium everyone on Earth will recognize and follow Jesus as their King it'll be a time when fairness and goodness are strongly enforced all around during this time there will be no more Wars people might still argue between countries and with each other but the
Messiah and his helpers will take care of these problems with fairness and strength it's important to remember that having the the Messiah in charge won't change how people feel inside everyone still needs to believe in Jesus and trust him for their own salvation during the Millennium but there will be no room for war or fighting at all during the Millennium animals will interact differently with each other and with people a young child will be safe and can lead a wolf leopard Young Lion or bear without fear even dangerous snakes like cobras and Vipers will no
longer pose a threat in Genesis 9 2:3 the Lord allowed Noah and everyone after him to eat meat at the same time he made animals afraid of humans so they wouldn't be easy targets but during the reign of the Messiah things will change because of this many believe that in the Millennium humans might go back to being vegetarians just like they were before Genesis 92 and 3 the power of Satan was weakened when the Gospel Kingdom was established in the World it became even weaker when the Empire adopted Christianity the defeat of mystical Babylon further
shattered his influence however Satan still has many heads and when one is struck down another remains alive the final battle after the Thousand-Year reign of Jesus Satan is released and gathers an army Revelation 207 to10 and when the thousand years are completed Satan will be be released from his prison the abyss and will come out to deceive and mislead the Nations which are in the four corners of the earth including Gog and Magog to gather them together for the war their number is like the sand of the seashore and they came up on the broad
plain of the earth and surrounded the camp of the Saints and the Beloved City and fire came down from heaven and devoured them and the devil who deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and brimstone where the Beast and the false prophet are also and they'll be tormented day and night forever and ever for a thousand years Jesus Will Rule directly over the Earth and during that time Satan will be locked away and unable to do anything but once those thousand years are finished he'll be let loose and will manage to gather many
people to rise up against God again if Jesus had been such a great king for a thousand years why would people still Rebel they will Rebel because God will let it happen showing once more how humans can turn away from him while everyone will have to follow jesus' rules on the outside during his Reign the choice to truly accept him as Lord will still be up to each person this is a story about the church facing troubles again and entering into another big fight it was a tough fight but it was quick and ended clearly
notice this for a long time Satan has been held back but now those limits are gone as soon as soon as Satan is released he quickly goes back to his old tricks of tricking people he deceives Nations making them angry enough to fight against God's Saints and servants they wouldn't start a war if he hadn't first fooled them these people are misled about why they're fighting they think they're fighting for a good reason when in reality it's a very bad one they also believe they'll win but they're destined to lose Satan's final attempts seem to
be the strongest the power he has now looks like it's much greater than before he has the freedom to gather volunteers from all over the world and he's created a vast Army The prominent leaders of this Army are known as Gog and Magog we don't need to worry too much about the specific Powers referred to by these names as the Army came from all over the world we can find a similar prophecy about this battle in Ezekiel Ezekiel chapters 38 and 39 contain one of the most amazing yet hard to understand predictions in the Bible
these chapters predict an invasion from the north that will come in like a storm and cover the land like a cloud at first it'll seem like Israel is finished but God will step in and help them during this attack Ezekiel 38 8-16 after many days you will be visited in the latter years you will come into the land of those brought back from The Sword and gathered from many people on the mountains of Israel which had long been desolate they were brought out of the Nations and now all of them dwell safely you will Ascend
coming like a storm covering the land like a cloud you and all your troops and many peoples with you thus says the Lord God on that day it shall come to pass that thoughts will arise in your mind and you will make an evil plan 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 having neither bars nor gates to take plunder and to take booty to stretch out your hand against the waste places that are
again inhabited and against the people gathered from the Nations who have acquired livestock and goods who dwell in the midst of the land Sheba Denon the merchants of tares and all their young Lions will say to you have you come to take plunder have you gathered your army to take booty to carry away silver and gold to take away livestock and goods to take great plunder therefore son of man prophecy and sedog thus says the Lord God on that day when my People Israel dwell safely will you not know it then you will come from
your place out of the far north you and many peoples with you all of them riding on horses a great company and a mighty Army you will come up against my People Israel like a cloud to cover the land it'll be in the latter days that I will bring you against my land so that the nations may know me when I am hallowed in you oh Gog before their eyes it's believed that the invasion of Gog will take place in the latter days possibly during the first part of the tribulation this is when the Antichrist
is expected to resolve the Middle East Conflict by signing a 7-year peace deal with Israel during this time the Jews will be able to rebuild their Temple and live safely in their land The Invasion by Gog is expected to occur after this period God had promised to restore Israel as seen in the vision Ezekiel received about the valley of dried bones while exiled in Babylon the Israelites had lost faith but God assured them that they would once again Thrive as a nation the Lord continued to convey hope and a promising future for the children of
Israel chapter 38 tells us about Gog and MOG Gog is the leader of the land called MOG the Bible tells us that these events will happen in the later days God's word says that Israel will be invaded from the north God won't invade on his own he'll have help from other nations many Bible teachers think that Gomer stands for Germany and togas stands for turkey these countries will think they're in charge of the situation but that's not the whole truth the coalition's attack according to God is meant to loot and Destroy Israel this is not
a recent concept even now many Middle Eastern countries openly oppose Israel any country that's a friend of Israel is viewed as a foe by these countries Ezekiel 381 19-23 for in my jealousy and in the fire of my wrath I have spoken surely in that day there shall be a great earthquake in the land of Israel so that the fish of the sea the birds of the heavens the beasts of the field all creeping things that creep on the earth and all men who are on the face of of the Earth shall shake at my
presence the mountain shall be thrown down the Steep places shall fall and every wall shall fall to the ground I will call for a sword against God throughout all my mountains says the Lord God every man's sword will be against his brother and I will bring him to judgment with pestilence and bloodshed I will rain down upon him on his troops and on the many peoples who are with them flooding rain great hailstones fire and brimstone thus I will magnify myself and sanctify myself I will be known in the eyes of many nations then they
shall know that I am the Lord God informs us that he'll allow this Invasion so that the nations of the world will be compelled to realize who he is when he intervenes and Exhibits his righteousness the Lord expresses his rage at this Invasion the phrasing in verse 19 is reminiscent of an earthquake or maybe a nuclear bomb in verse 20 we observe of the aftermath of the disaster natural calamities confusion and Terror will be used by God to kill these Invaders when he is done with Gog and his Coalition everyone will know that God is
in power gog's Annihilation Ezekiel 39 1-6 and you son of man prophecy against Gog and say thus says the Lord God behold I am against you oh Gog the prince of Raj me and tubble and I will turn you around and lead you on bringing you up from the far north and bring you against the mountains of Israel then I will knock the bow out of your left hand and cause the arrows to fall out of your right hand you shall fall upon the mountains of Israel you and all your troops and the peoples who
are with you I will give you the birds of prey of every sort and the beasts of the field to be devoured you shall fall on the open field for I have spoken says the Lord God and I will send fire on Magog and on those who live in Security in the coastlands then they shall know that I am the Lord in chapter 39 we learn about the destruction of the alliance of countries with a focus on Gog and his land of mog the Lord emphasizes his opposition to Gog and displays the total annihilation of
the Coalition 56ths of gog's invading Army will be defeated and their weapons will be powerless against the Lord the invading Army will be annihilated in Israel and God will also send fire on gog's heart land of mog destroying it as well Ezekiel 39 7-15 so I will make my Holy Name known in the midst of My People Israel and I will not let them profane my Holy Name anymore then the Nations shall know that I am the Lord the Holy One in Israel surely it's coming and it shall be done says the Lord God this
is the day of which I have spoken then those those who dwell in the cities of Israel will go out and set on fire and burn the weapons both the Shields and bucklers the bows and arrows the javelins and Spears and they will make fires with them for seven years they will not take wood from the field nor cut down any from the forests because they will make fires with the weapons and they will plunder those who plundered them and pillage those who pillage them says the Lord God the burial of Gog it will come
to pass in that day that I will give Gog a IAL place there in Israel the valley of those who pass by east of the sea and it will obstruct Travelers because there they will bury Gog and all his multitude therefore they will call it the valley of hamon Gog for seven months the house of Israel will be bearing them in order to cleanse the land indeed all the people of the land will be bearing and they will gain Renown for it on the day that I am glorified says the Lord God they will set
apart men regularly employed with the help of a search part party to pass through the land and bury those bodies remaining on the ground in order to cleanse it at the end of 7 months they will make a search the search party will pass through the land and when anyone sees a man's bone he shall set up a marker by it till the barriers have buried it in the valley of Haman go the prediction in Ezekiel is a lot like the one in Revelation 19 17 and 18 but these are different events Revelation talks about
the battle of Armageddon while Revelation 289 mentions Gog and Magog Gathering their armies from all over the world in Ezekiel the armies come from the north also the Gog and Magog events in Revelation happen after the Millennium while the one in Ezekiel takes place before the Millennium even though they sound similar they are separate events the devil our great enemy faces doom and Punishment he is thrown into hell along with his two primary helpers the Beast and the false prophet who represent tyranny and idolatry they're not going there just for a little while instead they'll
be tormented day and night Forever and Ever In this passage we learn about an important reason God has for the millennial Kingdom and allowing one final Rebellion throughout history people have often blamed their bad choices on their surroundings they might say I turned out this way because of my family or the neighborhood I grew up in but during the Millennium Kingdom of Jesus God will provide a perfect environment for a thousand years there will be no Satan no crime no violence and no evil however after these thousand years when given a chance people will still
choose to rebel against God this shows us that the real problem lies within us not just in our surroundings it will be clear again that no matter how great things seem without God's grace and a changed heart people will always choose to do wrong and go against God Satan had gathered them for a fight who are these Rebels they're the ones who will make it through the Great Tribulation and enter the millennial Kingdom with their children some have suggested that this event represents a mock perusia or second coming of Satan if so in God's providings
it merely becomes a stage for Satan's final defeat we read fire came down from God out of heaven and devoured them fire is come down from heaven many times throughout history the Bible tells us about at least six of these times for example fire fell in the form of burning sulfur and destroyed the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah God also used fire from heaven to judge the soldiers sent by the wicked King aesia to capture Elijah this happened two times in Deuteronomy 4 God is first called a consuming fire God shows his anger judgment Holiness
and power through fire from heaven in many stories one important example is when Aaron's sons abiu and nadab were killed by fire because they offered a sacrifice that God did not accept which is called Strange Fire this event showed their lack of respect for God's holiness and the need to honor him with deep respect God is called a consuming fire because his Holiness burns up everything that's not pure his Holiness sets him apart from sinful people as the prophet Isaiah tells us the wicked shake with fear here in his presence he asks who Among Us
can survive this consuming fire who can stay in the presence of everlasting burning Isaiah answers that only those who are righteous can withstand God's intense anger and sin because sin goes against his Holiness he also reminds us that no matter how hard we try to be good our own efforts still fall short it can be confusing to think of this as a final battle because there's no real fight the outcome is already decided with God ultimately defeating the devil and his followers once and for all after this confrontation Satan along with the Beast and the
false prophet will face punishment and torment forever is this punishment genuinely Eternal yes it is the words mean exactly what they say then all unbelievers will be judged before the great white Throne Revelation 2015 States and if anyone's name was not found written in the Book of Life he was thrown into the Lake of Fire in the next chapter Revelation 218 adds but as for the cowards and the unbelieving and abominable who are devoid of character and personal integrity and practice or tolerate immorality and murderers and Sorcerers with intoxicating drugs and idolators and occultists who
practice and teach false religions and all the Liars who knowingly deceive and twist truth their part will be in the lake that blazes with fire and brimstone which is the second death hell exists in a realm beyond our present realm the Lake of Fire is mentioned only a few times in the Book of Revelation near the end in the Bible the Lake of Fire represents the second death this means being completely separated from God which is the worst punishment for sin the Lake of Fire will be a place where there's constant pain and sadness the
Bible tell tells us that anyone whose name is not found in the book of life will be thrown into the Lake of Fire the Bible also says that both death and Hades which is where people who haven't accepted God go temporarily will be thrown into the Lake of Fire too according to what Jesus taught hell does not have a set amount of time but rather exists forever those who are tormented in hell are doomed to an eternity of Torment Jesus was quoted as saying the fire never goes out the word word hell is an ancient
Greek translation of the Hebrew word for valley of henm this was a site outside of Jerusalem's walls that had been defiled by the worship of Malik and the sacrifice of humans and as a result it was turned into a dump where garbage and refu were burned it was a visual and Powerful depiction of the end that was in store for those who were doomed thanks to the Raging fires and the festering worms a child with a spoon May sooner empty the sea than the Damned accomplish their misery a river of Brimstone is not consumed by
burning Jesus sent a very straightforward message which was that given how Dreadful hell is it's better to give up anything than to go there because of this it's not sufficient to consider the kingdom of God only in terms of reward instead we must also feel it in terms of sacrifice there's no way out of hell and neither is there any relief from it nor any Solace to be found there Luke 6 1626 and besides all this between us and you people a great Chasm has been fixed so that those who want to come over from
here to you will not be able and none may cross over from there to us to our great Good Fortune there's a route Out of Hell before one even enters it God extends to us the possibility of restoring our relationship with them so that we may avoid ever having to go to hell this reconciliation was made possible by the Cru crucifixion of his son Jesus Christ and his subsequent Resurrection Jesus the one who frequently cautioned us about hell is the one who rescues us from that place of eternal torment reconciliation with God is possible for
anyone who believes in Jesus Christ regardless of the amount of personal Merit or virtue they possess Jesus fulfills the covenant's requirements for the father judges no one but is given all judgment that is the prerogative of judging to the son placing it entirely into his hands so that all will give honor reverence homage to the son just as they give honor to the father in fact the one who does not honor the son does not honor the father who has sent him I assure you and most solemnly say to you the person who hears my
word the one who heeds my message and believes and trusts in him who sent me has possesses now eternal life that is eternal life actually begins the believer is transformed and does not come into judgment and condemnation but has passed over from death into life I assure you and most solemnly say to you a time is coming and is here now when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God and those who hear it will live John 5 22-25 if you haven't put your trust in him yet now is not the time
to put it off any longer it's not too late to turn to God right now but someday it will be too late as we read these verses we might ask why does God let Satan Go free at the end of Jesus Christ's Thousand-Year Reign first we need to recognize that there are some questions in the Bible we can't fully answer until we reach heaven God has chosen to keep some mysteries for himself however as Believers even if we don't understand everything about God's word his will or his ways we can always trust that he is
faithful accurate and reliable our task is to obey what we understand as best as we can while we may not know precisely why God releases Satan we can offer some possible reasons based on a complete understanding of the Bible the individuals who go through the tribulation will still be human they will live and help to repopulate the Earth during the Thousand-Year reign of Christ without the effects of sin causing problems we can think about how much the population will grow during this time almost beyond what we can understand everyone born during this period will get
to experience the blessings and goodness of Christ's rule on Earth but they will still be born with a nature that leans toward sin each person will need to choose to repent and believe in the gospel making the decision to follow Christ for themselves additionally God wants us to understand something important about his character during the Thousand Years known as the Millennium his grace and goodness will be visible all the time but at the end of this Thousand-Year period he will not tolerate any Rebellion when Rebellion happens he will not show Mercy or give any second
chances at that time he'll act quickly to judge and the final rebellion led by Satan and sinful people will be ended in an instant with fire after this the last judgment of the Dead will take place the great white Throne judgment Revelation 20 11-15 then eternity can begin free from all sin forever finally God wants to teach us some very important lessons about Satan especially for those who believe in him first we need to know that Satan has always been and always will be our enemy while God loves us deeply Satan holds a strong hatred
for us since Satan's fall Isaiah 14 Ezekiel 28 he's been a constant enemy of Believers and he's rightly called the greatest deceiver of all people all he can give or promised man is death and destruction John 1010 the thief comes only in order to steal kill and destroy I came that they may have and enjoy life and have it in abundance to the full till it overflows Satan is clearly shown here to be a defeated enemy and he's definitely going to face Doom just like everyone who follows him God wants to remind us that Satan
is a created being who has no power against him this should encourage us as Believers today to trust God's word about our position in Christ when it comes to the devil we should keep in mind this important truth no temptation regardless of its source has overtaken or enticed you that is not common to Human Experience nor is any Temptation unusual or Beyond human resistance but God is faithful to his word he is compassionate and trustworthy and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability to resist but all Ong with the Temptation he has
in the past and now and will always provide the way out as well so that you will be able to endure it without yielding and will overcome Temptation many seem to be confused because they do not understand the Book of Revelation however what if there was an animation showing the entire book well we created that and to watch that click here [Music]
