Up Next - The Gog-Magog War: It’s Time for God to Show the World He’s Involved. How Will He Do This?

Posted May 22, 2025 | End Times Watch

“And I will plead against him with pestilence and with blood; and I will rain upon him… an overflowing rain, and great hailstones, fire, and brimstone.” – Ezekiel 38:22 (KJV)

The world has forgotten about God, and the time is very soon that He will remind us all that He is involved, and will be implementing the plan as He has outlined in the end times prophecies as written in the KJV of the Bible. Are you ready to see “God’s Hand” as He reveals His supernatural response?

A Coming War That Will Shake the Earth

A storm is gathering in the Middle East—one unlike anything the world has seen. While many nations speak of peace, the Bible predicts a massive military assault on Israel in the last days. Known as the Gog-Magog War, this prophetic battle found in Ezekiel 38–39 could erupt before or early in the 7-year Tribulation.

Unlike past wars, this is not just another chapter in geopolitical tension. This one ends with God Himself stepping in—visibly and supernaturally—to defend Israel in a way that shocks the nations and reveals His glory.

Who Are the Invaders?

Ezekiel 38 gives us a list of nations that will unite under a leader called Gog, of the land of Magog:

• Magog: Widely believed to be modern-day Russia
• Persia: Modern-day Iran
• Cush and Put: Regions likely covering parts of Sudan, Libya, or Ethiopia
• Gomer and Togarmah: Parts of Turkey and Eastern Europe

These nations form a coalition of Islamic and northern powers—strikingly similar to the alliances we see forming today. Humm…that’s interesting.

Iran (Persia) continues to arm itself with nuclear ambitions.
Russia (Magog) strengthens ties with Iran and expands influence in the Middle East.
Turkey (Togarmah) grows increasingly hostile to Israel.

The stage is already being set.

Why Attack Israel?

The prophecy tells us the coalition comes to:

“…take a spoil, and to take a prey…” – Ezekiel 38:12 (KJV)

Israel, small in size but rich in innovation, resources, and strategic importance, becomes the target of greed, hatred, and spiritual rebellion.

But while the world sees a military invasion, God sees an opportunity to reveal His power.

God’s Supernatural Response

When the armies of Gog swarm into Israel like a storm, they are met not by tanks or jets—but by the hand of Almighty God:

“Surely in that day there shall be a great shaking in the land of Israel…” – Ezekiel 38:19 (KJV)
“And I will rain upon him… great hailstones, fire, and brimstone.” – Ezekiel 38:22 (KJV)

This isn’t poetic language. This is divine warfare:

• A massive earthquake shakes the entire region.
• Confusion causes the enemy armies to turn on each other.
• Fire rains from the heavens.
• God alone gets the glory.

“And the heathen shall know that I am the Lord, the Holy One in Israel.” – Ezekiel 39:7 (KJV)

This war will wake the world.

When Will It Happen?

Bible scholars debate the exact timing, but many believe the Gog-Magog War could occur just before or early in the Tribulation:

• Before the Tribulation: It sets the stage for a false peace brokered by the Antichrist (Daniel 9:27).
• Early in the Tribulation: It contributes to the rise of the Antichrist as a global peacemaker.

Either way, this war is imminent, and the signs are growing clearer each day.

Why It Matters Now

We are living in a world that is rapidly aligning with Ezekiel’s prophecy:

• Hostility toward Israel is rising.
• Russia and Iran are openly partnering.
• Global systems are being tested, reshaped, and prepared for crisis.

When this war happens, no one will be able to deny that something divine has taken place. The God of Israel will no longer be ignored.

This will be a wake-up call for many. But for the believer, it’s a reminder that our God is still in control, even when the world seems to unravel.

Final Thought: Are You Ready?

If the Gog-Magog war is near, then so is everything else the Bible foretold—including the rise of Antichrist, the Tribulation, and the return of Christ.

“Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.” – Matthew 24:42 (KJV)

Make sure you’re on the right side of prophecy—not caught unprepared, but standing firm in Christ, bold in faith, and ready to share the truth with others.

You now know exactly what is to come. God’s response will be telling to the world that He is in charge, and has a plan of His very own to defeat evil. When these events unfold, let this increase your testimony of the end times prophecies. See what God wants you to see. The end times are not just “stories in a book”, they are a gift from God to help us understand the difficult times that are in front of us, and what we can do to prepare.

If you are not already looking for Christ to return, I encourage you to make these writing a part of your study and understanding of how your life is getting ready to change in a big way. Prepare by returning to Jesus Christ. Devote your life to Him, and walk in His shadow. Study, Pray, Listen…repeat. =)
