Tribulation Age Journalists (Poem, Part 1)

Re: The 1st War of Gog and Magog

In today’s wars, journalists are now embedded,

With soldiers who into armed conflicts are headed.

On any conflict, at best, they give a one-sided slice, 

And for all involved, greatly increase risks and sacrifice.

Imagine… 

So many journalists! See them packing their bags,

To ship out with soldiers under 5 nations’ flags,

Coalition that by Russia and Iran is led. ¹

Imagine the thoughts swimming in a journalist’s head!

After nearly 3 years of massive global destructions,

Most that defy any kind of logical descriptions,

A promise land invasion was recently ordered,

By a global leader of nations by God clobbered. ²

Though coming from different nations by plagues bludgeoned,

These soldiers and journalists have one thing in common:

Each has a ‘commerce credential mark’, maybe numeric,

Enabling them to buy and sell in the world chaotic. ³

As the war begins, the journalists see up close,

The successful attacks against their Jewish foes!

On all battle fields, soldiers meet little resistance, ⁴

Thus, for a quick invasion, they have great confidence. 

Day one of the invasion, this army is quite widely spread,

Across Israel's mountains where, in the past,

much blood was shed.

The difficult mountainous terrain makes progress very slow.

Journalists chronicle their 'plunder logistics' network flow.

These soldiers and journalists, in astonishment,

Can hardly believe the pristine environment!

They wonder, ‘How on Earth was this land so well protected?!’

They see why, for invasion, Israel was selected. ⁵

¹ See: Ezekiel 38:5.

² The final anti-Christ world government’s order to invade Israel near the end of the 3½ year global, great tribulation. This 1st War of Gog and Magog, will be triggered by Gog, a chief demon, then assigned over the territory in the far north of Israel, currently Russia. He will manipulate the then global leader, the anti-Christ man, to invade Israel when the world realizes that, from tribulation plagues, Israel was protected. Desperate for food and wealth, this invasion will be launched.

³ The predicted ‘mark of the beast’.  See: Revelation 13

⁴ Ezekiel 38 predicts Israel in that day will largely be a nation of un-walled people. Here’s a likely reason why: A People Un-Walled (Series)

⁵ The plunder or booty of this war is described in Ezekiel 38:12-13. Much broader contextual insights on the significance of this plunder is unveiled in the fascinating Booty, Pre/Post Millennial Reign (Series)
