The Sacred Zone, Copyrite 2022, Andrew M. Hayward
Continued from previous …
Ezekiel
once
again
directs
the
Word
of
God
against
Gog,
prophesying
for
the
second
time,
that
God
will
draw
this
ruler
from
the
far
north
to
the
mountains
of
Israel,
(Ez.
39:1)
.
This
time
we
are
given
much
more
details
concerning
the
destruction
of
this
alliance
and
clues
as
to
its
timing.
Previously,
Ezekiel
mentioned
that
with
this
violent
earthquake,
the
soldiers
in
this
ungodly
alliance
will
turn
on
each
other.
Now
we
learn
that
God
“
will
strike
their
bow
from
your
left
hand
and
make
your
arrows
drop
from
their
right
hand
”,
(Ez.
39:3)
.
When
it
comes
to
the
description
of
bow,
arrows,
swords
and
horses
there
are
two
differing
opinions
amongst
end
time
teachers.
The
first,
in
the
minority,
believe
that
in
the
future
man
will
negate
the
effect
of
modern
weapons.
After
much
fighting,
they
will
revert
back
to
the
basics.
However,
most
believe
that
the
nature
of
these
words
incorporate
today’s
modern
warfare
and
weapons.
In
other
words,
a
bow
with
arrows
speaks
of
long
range
abilities
which
would
include
mortars
and
missiles.
A
horse
is
the
mode
of
transport
such
as
infantry
vehicles,
tanks
and
rapid
assault
trucks.
Regardless
of
the
opinion
on
this
matter,
the
one
thing
we
can
bank
on,
is
that
during
this
violent
earthquake,
they
are
completely
disarmed,
while
turning on each other.
The reversal of the aggression
Gog’s
alliance
will
transform
in
an
instant,
from
the
aggressor
to
the
victim.
Their
armies
will
be
violently
subdued,
where
they
will
become
“
food
to
all
kinds
of
carrion
birds
and
to
the
wild
animals
”,
(Ez.
39:4)
.
Naturally
the
carrion
species
include
vultures,
crows,
rows,
vultures,
hawks,
condors
and
eagles,
while
wild
animals
would
certainly
include
hyenas,
snakes
and
coyotes
who
will
thrive
during
this
time.
Their
quest
for
booty
will
result
in
all
of
them
falling
“
in
the
open
field
”,
(Ez.
39:5)
.
Their
population
back
home
may
believe
they
are
safe
because
they
are
so
far
off
from
the
event,
but
God
assures
us
that
He
“
will
send
fire
on
Magog
and
on
those
who
live
in
safety
in
the
coastlands
”,
(Ez.
39:6)
.
The
blatant
reversal
of
roles
is
so
obvious,
that
nobody
will
be
able
to
deny
that
God
is
the
Lord
of
creation.
Israel
will
realize
that
God
is
for
them,
while
the
nations
of
the
world,
will
know
that
God
is
the
“
Holy
one
in
Israel
”,
(Ez.
39:7)
.
And
now
for
the
puzzling
statement,
not
only
does
God
assure
us
that
“
it
is
coming
”
and
“
will
surely
take
place
”,
but
he
also
tells
us
that
this
“
is
the
day
I
have
spoken
of
”,
(Ez.
39:8)
.
While
the
discussion
of
the
timing
of
events
is
discussed
later,
with
all
the
pro’’s
and
con’s
of
each
view,
the
only
day
mentioned
often
by
the
prophets,
concerning
unfulfilled
events,
is
the
infamous,
“Day
of
the
Lord”,
also
known
as
the
“Day
of
Vengeance”
and
the
“Day
of
God’s
wrath”.
Having
said
this,
one
has
to
be
careful
with
this
prophecy
as
its
events
and
after
effects
span
through
this
entire
period
of
time.
The
cataclysmic
effects
are
so
insane,
that
the
villages
of
Israel
will
go
out
and
use
all
the
weaponry
for
fuel.
All
the
weapons
of
war
will
be
burnt
up,
with
no-one
in
Israel
requiring
to
gather
wood
as
they
will
receive
their
fuel
from
burning
these
weapons.
According
to
this
prophecy,
it
will
take
an
entire
seven
year
period,
to
thoroughly
burn
all
these
weapons.
We
are
not
told
if
these
weapons
are
burnt
because
they
are
conducive
to
fire
or
whether
it
is
required
as
they
are
contaminated.
As
the
roles
reverse,
so
it
is
Israel
who
during
this
seven
year
period,
will
plunder
and
loot
all
those
nations
who
plundered
and
looted
them,
(Ez. 39:9-10)
.
.
The cleansing of the land
The
sheer
quantities
of
human
corpses
will
be
so
vast,
that
a
special
burial
site
will
be
established
between
the
Mediterranean
Sea
and
the
mountains
of
Israel.
The
site
will
be
visible
to
anyone
passing
through.
It
is
even
given
a
name,
“
the
valley
of
Hamon
Gog
”,
(Ez.
39:11)
.
The
name
literally
means
“
the
valley
of
the
multitudes
of
Gog
”.
Six
scriptures
are
dedicated
to
describing
how
the
dead
are
buried,
which
should
peek
our
interest
and
attention.
Especially
significant,
since
this
method
of
burying
the
dead
has
only
become
relevant
in
our
modern
day
and
age.
We
are
firstly
told
that
it
will
take
an
initial
“
seven
months
”
for
the
Israelites
to
bury
the
dead,
(Ez.
39:12)
.
It
suggests
that
the
bodies
are
contaminated
as
a
special
burial
routine
and
method
is
established
in
preparing
these
bodies
before
burial.
Also
interestingly,
it
is
only
the
Israelites
who
bury
the
dead
and
it
is
not
just
some
who
are
involved,
but
“
all
the
people
of
the
land
”,
(Ez.
39:13)
.
There
is
also
a
special
day
reserved
for
those
who
cleanse
the
land,
a
memorable
day,
when
all
those
involved
will
see
a
“
display
of
the
glory
of
God
”,
(Ez.
39:14)
.
The
burial
of
the
hordes
will
be
facilitated
by
people
whose
sole
and
continuous
job
will
be
to
cleanse
the
land
of
the
dead,
first
focusing
on
all
the
bodies
lying
on
the surface of the land.
Now
we
learn
from
the
details
supplied
through
Ezekiel,
that
it
actually
takes
considerably
longer
to
cleanse
the
land
of
the
dead.
After
the
seven
month
period,
a
more
detailed
search
will
be
carried
out.
A
special
search
party
will
be
established
and
as
soon
as
they
find
a
human
bone,
they
will
place
a
marker
next
to
it.
A
team
of
grave
diggers
will
then
find
the
marker
and
retrieve
the
bone,
burying
it
in
the
valley
of
Hammon
Gog,
which
we
are
now
told
is
near
a
town
named
“
Hamonah
”,
(Ez.
39:15-
16)
.
There
are
many
different
opinions
as
to
where
the
burial
site
is
physically
located
today.
Some
believe
it
is
in
a
desolated
place
known
as
Abarim,
while
others
suggest
a
place
in
the
Transjordan,
east
of
Jerusalem.
There
are
also
other
suggestions
which
is
partially
dependent
on
how
the
scholars
view
the
timing
of
all
these
events
including
the
Jezreel
valley,
the
site
of
Armageddon
or
a
valley
known
as
the Hinnom valley.
The Great Feast
We
can
see
that
the
initial
carnage
takes
place
in
a
literal
day,
but
the
extended
carnage
takes
place
over
months
and
years
as
indicated
by
the
burning
of
weapons
and
burial
of
the
dead.
It
ultimately
culminates
in
a
another
“
great
sacrifice
on
the
mountains
of
Israel
”.
Since
this
feast
correlates
with
a
great
feast
which
occurs
at
Armageddon
towards
the
end
of
Revelation,
Gog
has
become
the
symbol
of
all
enemies
of
God.
Ezekiel
describes
this
feast
as
another
great
gathering,
prepared
as
a
final
sacrifice.
All
the
wild
animals
and
birds
are
summonsed
to
the
mountains
of
Israel
to
eat
the
flesh
and
drink
the
blood
of
the
final
slaughter
of
those
who
oppose
God.
According
to
the
word
given
to
Ezekiel,
they
“
will
eat
fat
till
they
are
gutted
and
drink
blood,
till
they
are
drunk
”,
(Ez.
39:19)
.
Very
similar
words
are
recorded
just
before
the
Second
Coming
of
Christ
at
the
end
of
this
period
by
John
the
Apostle.
He
says
that
all
the
birds
are
summonsed:
“C
ome.
Be
gathered
together
to
the
great
supper
of
God,
that
you
may
eat
the
flesh
of
kings,
the
flesh
of
captains,
the
flesh
of
mighty
men,
and
the
flesh
of
horses
and
of
those
who
sit
on
them,
and
the
flesh
of
all
men,
both
free
and
slave,
and
small
and
great’
“,
(Rv.
19:17-18)
.
This
great
feast
supper
is
different
from
any
general
celebration,
as
the
guests
are
the
ones
who
actually
become
the
meal.
Another
parallel
prophecy
is
also
fulfilled
with
Jesus
message
regarding
His
Second
Coming,
where
He
said:
“
Wherever
there
is
a
carcass,
there
the
vultures
will
gather
”,
(Mt.
24:27)
.
According
to
His
message
in
the
Olivet
Discourse,
this
great
feast
of
nature
occurs
just
before
the
world
is
cast
into
complete
darkness
before
His
return
with
all
the
Saints.
This
feast
and
scene
may
be
revolting
to
you,
but
consider
that
those
who
oppose
God, are revolting in His eyes.
The
reason
and
effect
of
this
judgment
We
are
left
under
no
allusion
that
God
brings
about
this
catastrophe,
so
that
everyone
on
earth
can
see
His
glory.
“From
this
day
forward,
“
Israel
will
know
that
I
am
the
Lord,
their
God
”.
Not
only
will
Israel
know
this,
but
“
all
the
nations
will
know
”
the
reason
for
Israel’s
exile
was
due
to
their
unfaithfulness
towards
God,
(Ez.
39:21-23).
This
conflict
serves
as
an
indication
that
when
this
day
begins,
God
will
no
longer
“
hide
His
face
from
the
Israelites
”,
but
will
reveal
Himself
to
them,
(Ez.
39:23-24).
What
does
this
mean?
It
is
spelled
out
for
us
in
the
Lord’s
final
words
to
Ezekiel
on
this
matter:
“
I
will
no
longer
hide
my
face
from
them,
for
I
will
pour
out
my
Spirit
on
the
people
of
Israel
”,
(Ez.
39:29).
In
relation
to
the
prophecy
of
the
valley
of
the
dry
bones,
(Ezekiel,
chapter
37),
the
Spirit
of
God
is
poured
out
on
the
Jewish
race,
when
Gog
decides
to
lead
a
horde
of
Israel’s
enemies to its mountains.
What
happens
after
the
Great
Feast?
It
is
only
with
this
final
great
feast
that
the
Jews
are
reconciled
with
God
and
the
“
fortunes
of
Jacob
”,
(Israel),
are
restored.
Also
from
this
day
forward,
God
will
be
zealous
for
His
holy
name,
(Ez.
39:25)
.
This
means
that
God
will
no
longer
allow
His
name
to
be
profaned
anymore.
There
will
be
an
immediate
and
swift
response
for
bad
behavior
and
justice
will
be
swift.
As
for
the
Jewish
race,
“
they
will
forget
their
shame
”
and
they
will
have
no
natural
enemies,
(Ez.
39:26)
.
The
nations
of
the
world
will
be
a
witness
that
He
is
“the
Lord,
their
God”.
The
proof
of
the
pudding
is
that
not
only
will
He
regather
all
Jews
back
to
their
homeland,
leaving
not
one
behind,
but
God
will
“
pour
out
His
Spirit
on
the
people
of
Israel
”,
(Ez.
39:28-29)
.
It
is
abundantly
clear
that
this
summonsing
of
Gog
and
his
allies
to
the
mountains
of
Israel,
leads
to
the
complete
restoration
of
the
Jewish
race
and
ultimately
God
being
in
their
presence,
with
the
rebellious
nations
of
the
world,
being completely subdued.

Magog - Part 2
Ancient, thrilling and
down right chilling. Join us in exploring
what we believe is the humbling of
Russia. It is at a location which takes the
world by complete surprise.
