Mankind
-- a waring species, there’s no doubt.
Our ubiquitous
questions are: Peace, for how long?
When, where and why will the next
war breakout?!
When will there be lasting peace
for which we all long??
Possibly
the first war that was recorded,
Was started
by angels whom lucifer jawboned,
To
depose God, an act highly misguided!
Thus, war
in God’s creation was ‘heaven grown!’
1
But
thank God, there’ll be an end to this mayhem,
Not like World War 1, the so-called ‘war to end all wars!’
Since
then, war has been mankind’s key stratagem:
Much money is made when by wars, lands and
lives are scarred.
Since war
in all God’s creation was ‘heaven grown’,
Then
know that all wars will end by Him and Him alone. 2
But by His
stratagem, many minds will be blown:
By Him,
seeds of two end-times wars, not one, have been sown!
Named
for evil spirits who over key lands are assigned.
Across
Israel, these wars will be sprawled,
Fought
by armies who, against God Almighty, are aligned. 3
The 1st Gog and Magog war, armies in destitution,
Will be
triggered by a severe shortage of goods and food,
The results
of God’s judgments in the Great Tribulation. 4
Seeking food & goods, armies themselves
will become
good food! 5
A thousand-plus years later, armies multi-national,
A thousand-plus years later, armies multi-national,
Will gather
for the last war, history to replay!
Again, seeking hordes of booty, they’ll
attack Israel,
But again food they’ll become for fowl and
beasts of prey. 6
Between
these wars, the final world power will rule,
Jesus
Christ reigning on Earth as The Lord.
Then Earth
will have her rest. From sin’s weight she’ll refuel, 7
For a
thousand years, sinfulness outlawed!
It’s for
power and booty that wars today are fought,
And thus
it will be in the Wars of Gog and Magog.
But booty
in these wars are today’s Gordian knot!
Stay
tuned as we ponder their cloaked messages
from God.

1 See: Isaiah 14:12-15
2 ‘I
form the light and create darkness, I make peace and create calamity;
I, The Lord, do all these things.’ (Isaiah 45:7) This theme is iterated throughout The Bible, e.g., in Amos 3:6, Isaiah 48:10, Jeremiah 31:35, Ezekiel 14:13, and many more such verses.
I, The Lord, do all these things.’ (Isaiah 45:7) This theme is iterated throughout The Bible, e.g., in Amos 3:6, Isaiah 48:10, Jeremiah 31:35, Ezekiel 14:13, and many more such verses.
3 See:
Ezekiel 38 and 39, Zechariah 14 and Revelation 16
4 A
predicted time of global persecution, trial and great distress before the
arrival of Jesus Christ to rule the world for a millennium
5 Food for birds and animals of prey. See:
Isaiah 18:4-7 which address Ethiopia, predicted to be in the multi-national coalition in
the 1st War of Gog and Magog, but the nation’s remnants will bow
before The Lord during His reign.

Isaiah 60 and Zechariah 14:14 describe the great wealth that will be
accumulated in Israel as nations bring their wealth to The Lord in Jerusalem. Ezekiel
39 and Revelation 20 describe the fate of the attacking armies.
7 Isaiah
24 describes impacts from the weight of sins on Earth. To you, do they resemble
what’s in the news of our day?
