The Ezekiel War Connection - Part Three

             If you read the last two blogs and took the time to read through Ezekiel 38 and 39, then you have a pretty good idea of what the final world war looks like. Unlike the previous two world wars, this one truly is the war that ends all wars.
            We continue to rule as the heavenly court during the rest of the last 1,000 years from above, with Israel being the natural government on the earth. It is a time of relative rest on the earth. The end of the first 3½ years of the Day of the Lord brings the end of the times of the Gentiles. The statue of the empires that Nebuchadnezzar saw in his dream is destroyed.
            “You watched while a Stone was cut out without hands, which struck the image on its feet of iron and clay, and broke them in pieces. Then the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver, and the gold were crushed together, and became like chaff from the summer threshing floors; the wind carried them away so that no trace of them was found. And the Stone that struck the image became a great mountain and filled the whole earth” Daniel 2:34-35.
            In case you’re wondering, the seated heavenly court is the Stone that crushes the image. The Stone is the rule of Christ that fills the whole earth. We are the living stones, “built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief cornerstone, in whom the whole building, being fitted together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord, in whom you also are being built together for a dwelling place of God in the Spirit” (Eph. 2:20-21).
            The so-called one-world order, the counterfeit kingdom of the lawless one, is brought down at the end of the 3½-year war at the start of the Day of the Lord. It wasn’t done politically by invading seven mountains that men have determined, by believers whose spirits have been made new, yet still see only in part and are not yet perfected.
            It shall be done literally by the perfected Body of Christ finally united as One New Man with Christ the Head. It will be fought simply by speaking the predetermined will of the Father, God Almighty, the Most High God. Only He, and He alone, determines the times and the seasons, and raises up and brings  down the kings.
            Ezekiel 38 and 39 also tell us the state of the world after this war for Jerusalem. To make sure we get the point, there are 8 verses. Eight is the number of new beginnings and regeneration in the Bible.
 

1. “It will 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, O Gog, before their eyes.” (Ezek. 38:16)
2. “Thus I will magnify Myself and sanctify Myself, and I will be known in the eyes of many nations. Then they shall know that I am the Lord.” ’ (Ezek. 38:23)
3. “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.” (Ezek. 39:6)
4. “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.” (Ezek. 39:7)
5. “I will set My glory among the nations; all the nations shall see My judgment which I have executed, and My hand which I have laid on them.” (Ezekiel 39:21)
6.  “So the house of Israel shall know that I am the Lord their God from that day forward. The Gentiles shall know that the house of Israel went into captivity for their iniquity; because they were unfaithful to Me, therefore I hid My face from them. I gave them into the hand of their enemies, and they all fell by the sword.”  (Ezek. 39:22-23)
7.  “Then they shall know that I am the Lord their God, who sent them into captivity among the nations, but also brought them back to their land, and left none of them captive any longer.” (Ezek. 39:28)
8. “And I will not hide My face from them anymore; for I shall have poured out My Spirit on the house of Israel,’ says the Lord God.” (Ezek. 39:29)

 
In short, the nations see how God delivered Israel against all odds and raised them up to be the head and not the tail. There is no God like our Father God!
