When's the War?

The War of Gog and Magog continued from my previous post:

When will the the War of Gog and Magog happen? God's word tells us when Russia and her allies will attack Israel. Judging from current world events it is obvious this could take place at any time. However, scripture says that Israel's enemies will strike "On that day when My people Israel dwell safely..." (Ezekiel 38:14). This war will happen when Israel is in a state of safety. When will this time come? The only time Israel is going to be in a state of security and safety is when the Antichrist makes a peace treaty with Israel (this treaty is what will begin the seven year Tribulation).

So will these armies wipe Israel off the map? Nope! God is going to display His glory to the world by protecting Israel. God will use a devastating earthquake (Ezekiel 38:19-20), the armies will end up killing each other (Ezekiel 38:21), disease will be spread among the armies (Ezekiel 38:22), and devastation from above--flooding, rain, hail, fire and brimstone (Ezekiel 38:22), destroying Israel's attackers.

This will be yet another prophecy fulfilled from scripture. It is amazing the amount of prophecy given in scripture that has already been fulfilled. When I read and study all of the fulfilled prophecy in the Bible (especially about Jesus), I wonder--how can people not believe? And then I remember, one of the enemy's greatest tactics is keeping those Bibles shut. If you never open your Bible, you will never see the evidence. Believe me, I know. I was that way for 23 years.
