This was an indictment against Gog, the king of Magog. God was against him and his country and He will use a hook in the jaw like someone dragging a dead carcass from one spot to the next to show the dominance and the futility of its struggle. While Gog prepares for war and for plunder, God will prepare those that He loves and cherishes. Again the holiness of God is in the forefront of the action (v16) but also His justice and His protection. He will turn His wrath upon this vile king and then He will let the nations know that He is God.
The significance is that this war will not be fought for thousands of years as this will happen in Rev 20:8-9. It will happen when Israel is a nation once again and when they least expect it. The timing could be after the 1000 years mentioned in Revelation. Still God will prevail and all will know that He is the King of Kings and the Great I AM.
So glad to have finished my sermon yesterday and flipped it to the wifey for corrections. Then David and my friend Judy can put some ppts on it to spice it up a little. Glad I was able to download a bunch of pics that I had in my camera for the last few events into FB. Looking forward to this weekend, especially with minimal laundry and a lot going on.
Praise for today: He is my Strong Tower!
