God describes for Ezekiel an epic invasion of Israel which does not require a response from Israel. God
does all of the “protecting” that is needed.
What I began to focus on was God’s sovereignty
in all of this:
“The Lord God says this:
‘I am against you, Gog … I
will turn you around and put hooks in your jaws. And I
will bring you out … you will be called
for service … I bring you
against My land. Gog, then the nations will know Me when they see Me prove how holy
I am in what I do through you … Then
I will call for a war against Gog …
Everyone’s sword will attack the soldier
next to him. I will punish Gog with disease and death. I will send a heavy rain with hailstones and
burning sulfur on Gog, his army, and the many nations with him. Then
I will show how great I am. I will show
My holiness, and I will make myself known to the many nations
that watch. Then they will know that I am the Lord.’”
God will call a Gentile
nation to invade Israel, yet then soundly defeat them with no army from Israel involved.
All this is done so that the nations
will know that God is Lord!
Father, thank You for reaching out to help us know You – even those who would not want to acknowledge You. You are powerful and You are wise. Through Your actions, the nations will come
to know You. Let it be so, Father!
Your Brother In Christ,
Gary Ford
