BLOG 6 – Current and Prophesied Biblical Chronological Events

What is Happening Now and What is Likely to Begin Between 2008 and 2012!
Ezekiel 39:6,7 – And I will send a fire on Magog, and among them that
dwell carelessly in the isles: and they shall know that I am
the Lord. [7] So will I make my holy name known in the midst of my people Israel; and I will not let them pollute my holy name any more: and the heathen shall know that I am the Lord, the Holy One in Israel.
The land of Magog has long been identified by a bevy of writers as the land we call Russia today. The antichrist is not the chief prince of Magog.
He is the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal. The event in verse six occurs at the final battle of Armageddon, which is the great battle that follows the initial Jihad attack against Israel, which occurred some 3 and ½ years prior to Armageddon. China and Russia will not be directly involved in the initial attack that drives Israel into the Negev, but will both come down at the final battle of Armageddon.
China and Russia have been supplying Iran and other Islamic nations with all sorts of high tech training by their experts, and a wide range of sophisticated weaponry for a long, long time because it was, and is, in their national interest, both economically and politically, and the two recent articles, which follow, show the ongoing practice of such activity. Both China and Russia have either sold high tech weaponry to Iran, or sent their weaponry experts to Iran to train them how to build their own. As I indicated in previous Blogs, it is probable that all the new “miraculous” weapons Iran used in its recent Revolutionary Guard exercises actually were purchased from Russia with oil revenues and Iran’s claims are, in reality, blown out of proportion. However, these weapons are high tech, and could sink enough oil tankers to block the narrowest portion of the Persian Gulf.
It will simply be too tempting for China and Russia to get a piece of the Middle East oil pie, to refrain from coming down at the final battle of Armageddon to help the antichrist finish off Israel, but they will lose millions in the battle by the unleashing of the power of God.
Revelation 16:16 – And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.
Daniel 12:1 – And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that
shall be found written in the book.
Ezekiel 39:6-10 – And I will send a fire on Magog, and among them that dwell carelessly in the isles: and they shall know that I am the Lord. [7] So will I make my holy name known in the midst of my people Israel; and I will not let them pollute my holy name any more: and the heathen shall know that I am the Lord, the Holy One in Israel. [8] Behold, it is come, and it is done, saith the Lord God; this is the day whereof I have spoken. [9] And they that dwell in the cities of Israel shall go forth, and shall set on fire and burn the weapons, both the shields and the bucklers, the bows and the arrows, and the handstaves, and the spears, and they shall burn them with fire seven years: [10] So that they shall take no wood out of the field, neither cut down any out of the forests; for they shall burn the weapons with fire: and they shall spoil those that spoiled them, and rob those that robbed them, saith the Lord God.

Iran Tests 2nd Radar-Avoiding Missile
Associated Press, THE JERUSALEM POST
April 4, 2006
Iran said Tuesday it has tested a second new radar-avoiding missile, the latest weapon to be unveiled during war games in the Gulf that the military says are aimed at preparing the country’s defenses against the United States.
The new surface-to-sea missile is equipped with remote-control and searching systems, the state-run television reported Tuesday.
On Friday, the country tested the Fajr-3, a missile that it said can avoid radars and hit several targets simultaneously using multiple warheads. Since the war games began Friday, the country also has tested what it calls two new torpedoes.
The Revolutionary Guards, the elite branch of Iran’s military, have been holding their maneuvers – codenamed the “Great Prophet” – since Friday, touting what they call domestically built technological advances in their armed forces.
The United States and France have accused Iran of seeking enrichment as a part of a secret program to build nuclear weapons. Iran denies the charge, saying its nuclear ambitions are confined to the generation of electricity.
Iran’s first nuclear reactor, built with Russian assistance at Bushehr in southwestern Iran, is due to come on stream later this year.

(2) LIKELY TO BEGIN BETWEEN 2008 AND 2012 AND LAST 1260 DAYS THEREAFTER
Events 1 to 5 were covered in Blogs 1 through 5
Event Number 6 – How Many Attacks and Wars Are There
?
By the close of Blog 5, we had seen an attack by the antichrist eliminate two-thirds of the Jewish population, and drive the remaining third into the Negev Wilderness, where they will remain for some 1260 days. It is there that Israel will finally turn to its God by accepting His Son as their Messiah.
Zechariah 13:8,9 – And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, saith the Lord, two parts therein shall be cut off and die; but the third shall be left therein. [9] And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people: and they shall say, The Lord is my God.
Revelation 12:6 – And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days.
In the middle of
the 19th century the perception, that there was only one war associated with the time of the antichrist, and that it culminated with the final battle of Armageddon, began to change. By the middle of the 20th century a teaching of more than one war had risen to be the majority view, and the antichrist was to arise out of the first war, bring peace to Israel, and then later break the peace and attack Israel to start a second war. To make this change it was necessary to change the identification of the antichrist in some of the prophetic writings of Daniel, Micah, Ezekiel, and others. I still hold to the old viewpoints of the 18th and 19th centuries in my understanding and interpretations of the antichrist, the war, and the final battle. I believe there is only one war, and that the final battle in it is the
battle of Armageddon.
You will find verse by verse, line by line, point by point expositions of Ezekiel Chapters 37, 38, & 39, Daniel 2:31-45, 7:20-27, 9:24-27, 11:40 through 12:1, Micah 5:1-9, and Revelation 12:1-17 in the Archives of our Prophecy and Birth Pang Updates. In all of these expositions I weave a case to prove there is only one war, and the same man, the antichrist is manifested in all of the listed scriptures.
I believe that the following scriptures are all talking about the same man, who is the antichrist, and that the war associated with him is a single war, which begins, lasts 1260 days, and ends with the battle of what we refer to as Armageddon.
Ezekiel 38:3 – And say, Thus saith the Lord God; Behold I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal:
Gog = The Chief Prince of Meshech and Tubal = Antichrist
Meshech and Tubal = Their descendants were settled in what we call the land of Syria today at the time Ezekiel wrote his prophecies.
Ezekiel 38:14,15 – The War Begins – Therefore, son of man, prophesy and say unto Gog, Thus saith the Lord God; In that day when my people of Israel dwelleth safely, shalt thou not know it? [15] And thou shalt come from thy place out of the north parts, thou, and many people with thee, all of them riding upon horses, a great company, and a mighty army:
Ezekiel 39:1,2 – The Final Battle in the War (5/6 of his army destroyed) – Therefore, thou son of man, prophesy against Gog, and say, Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal: [2] And I will turn thee back, and leave but the sixth part of thee, and will cause thee to come up from the north parts, and will bring thee upon the mountains of Israel:
Daniel 7:21,25 + 11:36,40,41,45 to 12:1 – [21] I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them; [25] And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time. [36] And the king shall do according to his will; and he shall exalt himself, and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak marvellous things against the God of gods, and shall prosper till the indignation be accomplished: for that that is determined shall be done. [40] And at the time of the end shall the king of the south push at him: and the king of the north shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall enter into the countries, and shall overflow and pass over. [41] He shall enter also into the glorious land, and many countries shall be overthrown: but these shall escape out of his hand, even Edom, and Moab, and the chief of the children of Ammon. [45] And he shall plant the tabernacles of his palace between the seas in the glorious holy mountain; yet he shall come to his end, and none shall help him. [1] And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.
Antichrist = The Same Horn = The 11th Horn = The Willful King = The King of the North
The Saints in Daniel’s Day = Believing Jews
Time and Times and the Dividing of Times = 1260 days = 42 months
The War = Daniel 11:40 to 44
The Final Battle in the War = Daniel 11:45 to 12:1 = Armageddon
Micah 5:5,6 – And THIS MAN shall be the peace, when the Assyrian shall come into our land: and when he shall tread in our palaces, then shall we raise against him seven shepherds, and eight principal men. [6] And they shall waste the land of Assyria with the sword, and the land of Nimrod in the entrances thereof: thus shall HE deliver us from the Assyrian, when he cometh into our land, and when he treadeth within our borders.
Jesus Christ = THIS MAN of Verse 5 and HE in Verse 6
Antichrist = The Assyrian
The Initial Attack 3 and ½ Years Before Armageddon = Micah 5:5
The Final Battle 3 and ½ Years Later = Micah 5:6 = Armageddon
Revelation 13:4,5 – The Beast = Antichrist The War = 42 Months – And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him
? [5] And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.
Revelation 19:19-21 – The Final Battle of the War = Armageddon – And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army. [20] And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image.
These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone. [21] And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh.
Antichrist = Daniel’s 11th Horn and King of the North = Ezekiel’s Chief Prince of Meshech and Tubal = Micah’s Assyrian = John’s Beast = Paul’s Man of Sin (They Are All the Same Man)
II Thessalonians 2:3,4 – Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; [4] Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
The initial attack, that starts the final war, occurs 1260 days before the final battle in the war, the battle of Armageddon, which ends the war.
