#209 - Russia & The Magog Prophecy Explained

Gog

Since Russia is in the news, prophetic teachers are again making reference to the prophesies of Gog and Magog (The Scythian, Russian people). In this program, I try to clear up some of the erroneous interpretations of this prophecy. The bottom line is that the battle of Gog and Magog does not take place during the Great Tribulation period but at the end of the millennial reign of Christ. Don't expect Russian to attack Israel in the current age.

Pastor Brad, i plan to relisten to this one. i have never heard your interpretation of this prophesy but a wise man said that prophesy is not given for prophesying but for encouragement as we see it taking place we will not be caught off guard and we will not be prey to false teaching either, like the humanistic view that we can save the planet. I have never "looked" for anything prophetic...just "looking for the Lord's return because I believe with my whole heart that no one knows how or when it will all play out but God. we have always been simply witnesses and participants in His merciful and righteous work on the Earth as His Namesake! i love Him so much!

Pastor Brad, this is my third attempt to leave a comment. I have never heard an interpretation of that war like yours before. I do know one thing that prophecy is not given for prophesying but for encouragement to us who know it, so that when it does appear we will not be overcome with fear and we will be equipped. the only event that I am looking forward to is the rapture. I believe it can happen at any time. and whatever else happens in the meantime, we can recognize God's hand in it as you often show us in your expositions. after all, that is what we are on the Earth oh, we Are Witnesses of his work and his will. and when we able we are participants but always for his glory and according to his will.

I think that wise saying about prophecy came from a man called Sir Robert Anderson who wrote a book called The Coming Prince. if you don't have it in your library I highly recommend it.

  This program about Magog is complicated for those who are not thoroughly familiar with prophecy. It digs down into details which are not essential for Christian living. I wouldn't have even addressed the subject if it weren't for the fact that so many prophetic teachers are saying things about Magog that cannot be substantiated from Scripture. You are right, keep your eyes on the coming of Jesus. I will check out the book recommendation. Thanks

    Pastor Brad, I will send you a copy of the book as a thank you. It's ok if you don't have time to read it. I found it interesting on many levels , written by an investigator with Scotland Yard around the turn of the 20th century. At that time, the trend was to discredit bible prophecy especially the book of Daniel. Pretty sure you will enjoy it.

  Extreme "thank you" for sending me the book. It was great to read a 100 year old perspective on eschatology. It looks like he was already influenced by the dispensational - two coming theories of John Darby. Haven't finished it yet; but I was intrigued by his three sets of 490 theory. Have to look into it some more. Thanks again for your generosity.
