Do Ezekiel 38 & 39 Describe Armageddon?

It simply is all of the armies of the earth that have gathered together against Jerusalem.

Update:

Hi Gregory S,

Yes you are right. It seems to be the countries that are now called Iran, Russia, and other Islamic Allies will invade Israel..

    Which verse? Okay read most of it. 38, Verse 16 says "And you will come up against My people Israel like a cloud to cover the land. It will come about in the last days that I shall bring you against my land, in order that the nations will know Me when I shall be sanctified through you before their eyes, O Gog.

    You shall fall on the mountains of Israel, you and all your troops, and the peoples who are with you; I shall give you as food to every kind of predatory bird and beast of the field.

    You will fall on the open field; for it is I who have spoken, declares the Lord God.

    And I shall send fire upon Magog and those who inhabit the coastlands in safety; and they will know that I am the LORD. 39:4-6

    Yes, this is the Battle of Armegadon. All the people who will come against Israel will fall and be defeated and the Lord will make himself known.

    You are Right as to the Name of Nations involved, No this Battle takes place after a Seven Yr "Peace" Land for Peace" is signed by Israel and P.L.O.Then Russia -Iran-Arabs move on Israel;The battle of Armageddon takes place at the very last Of Seven YR. Trib.-----------There is a Battle just Prior to the Ezek.38&39 -----The One I am refering to is Recorded in Isaiah Ch 17 in which Damascus is Destroyed in One night--A 12 Hr battle : The Bible is the most up todate Book.----It tells of Battles before they take place and the out come;Then God Speaking thru the Prophet calls it done;Final Note,The last Seven Yrs, Have at least Three Differant Battles,all take place around Israel ---- First Damascus Destroyed a 12 hr battle;2nd Iran-Russia and Arab Nations---3Rd at end or last battle Far East Nations move to Israel Valley of Jezreel,Valley of Jehosphat,Meggido all are the same place; There are several battles in a short Time,I believe most Nations want Middle East Oil,Sadly most of the Nations think Israel is the Problem:Temple Mount , God chose it long ago:To dwell there;All this is in the Bible,People ignore it,

    No. This is not long after the millennium begins. As you read it you see that God has collected all 12 tribes of Israel from all over the world and has brought them back to the Middle East. They are living "without walls" and "without gates". The rest of the world has not been worked with by God, only the nations of Israel have. Then it is the worlds turn.

    Zec 14:16 And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall even go up from year to year to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles.

    Zec 14:17 And it shall be, that whoso will not come up of all the families of the earth unto Jerusalem to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, even upon them shall be no rain.

    Zec 14:18 And if the family of Egypt go not up, and come not, that have no rain; there shall be the plague, wherewith the LORD will smite the heathen that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles.

    Absolutely!! It is prophecy about the coming battle of Armageddon and it describes every country that will come against Israel and what will become of them. It is very important to study Ezekiel and Revelations together in order to completely understand what is going to happen during the end times. They complement each other. As for the answerer who says that no one will look up the scripture and read it, I am thankful that some will take the time to read it for themselves. If one doesn't read the Word they can't understand what the Lord has to say for us to follow. They are in darkness and lack wisdom.

    PLEASE READ ALL OF IT!!!

    Too many people get confused in believing that Armageddon is a literal physical battle involved in actual warfare. It is not. Armageddon is a spiritual battle of the wicked against God. It is not about the people in the Middle East against the West. That is what Satan would want us to think. Armageddon means "Mount of Slaughter." You can greatly liken it to the story with Elijah and the false prophets of Baal. We must first recognize the Dragon, Beast, and False Prophet of Revelation. The Dragon is Satan, the Beast is the Papacy (proof shows this), and the False Prophet is America (proof also shows this.) It is important you understand I am NOT joking when I say this. This is serious business. 2 Armies are gathered for Battle. Christ's army, as described in Rev.19:11-14; and Satan's army as described in Rev.19:19.

    How are these armies gathered?

    Satan's: throught unclean spirits working miracles. see Rev.16:13,14 and Rev.13:11-14.

    Christ's: Matt.11:28; "Come unto me all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest."

    Before we continue let us lay down some terms.

    Gadad=gathering

    Gedad=slaughter

    Har=mountain

    Megiddo=situated in the region of Carmel mountian range.

    Mt. Carmel= where Elijah had the showdown with the false prophets of Baal. (1Kings18).

    Mt. Carmel could be called "Mediddo" or "Mageddon."

    The term "Harmageddon" calls attention to Mt. Carmel where there was:

    --a gathering

    --a contest

    --a slaughter

    1 Kings 18:19-40

    gathering= Elijah and the false prophets of Baal.

    contest= The God that answers by fire, let him be God.

    slaughter= the slaying of the false prophets of Baal.

    End-time Global Contest at Mt. Megiddo

    gathering=servants of God and proponents of Mark of Beast.

    contest=all out battle for allegiance of souls or Mark of Beast.

    slaughter=proponents of Mark of the Beast.

    I hope you notice the parallel. See Rev.17:14: "These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for He is Lord of lords, and King of kings; and they that are with Him are called, chosen, and faithful." Praise God.

    Notice in Rev.13:7 that the Beast had made war wit hthe saints and overcame them. but then notice here in Rev.17:14 that the Lamb overcomes them this time. The people are with their leader. Amen. I hope this clarifies some misunderstandings. God bless.

    You do comprehend how imprecise that passage is, top? it ought to correctly be utilized to any aspect in human historic previous, the picture of the different "prophecy" contained in the bible, it really is why believers continuously say the form of tremendous number of have come genuine. this is like me affirming "some thing undesirable will take position sometime." i must be surprised if that did not come genuine a minimum of once in 2000 years.

    Hello, insert_ nickname_ here!:

    A good question, and everyone who speaks with authority here should know what those chapters speak of, That final battle!

    The nations that attack Israel who has returned to their homeland, are described using mostly names of Noah's descendants. They were once Christian under the Greco/Roman Empire, but the Bible tells us more. It tells why God gave those Christian nations to Muslim conquests.

    Let me suggest you read "The Rise, Decline, and Death of Islam in Bible Prophecy" at http://www.revelado.org/islam.htm

    Shalom, peace in Jesus, Ben Yeshua

    People really dont respond to questions to scripture where the text isnt displayed. They dont want to go hunt for the answer.

  • 1 decade ago

    No its not all the enemies of earth.

    it list the nations that will be at the fight.

    God destroys them all but one sixth of the force.

    At Armegeddon he kills them all.

    Israel will have the weapons to burn for fuel. It will last seven years. This is at the beginning of the tribulation period.
