The Shaking of Nations - A Harvest Tsunami Is On Its Way....
time work of God and His church. With that in mind, l et’s look
at the details of this war and its impact on the world.
The timing is very clear. Israel will have been restored as a
nation for some time. It will have become very prosperous and
rich. The nation is also described as one having cities with “no
walls, gates, or bars.” Such a description points to a time when
the nation will be at peace and will be vulnerable to any attack.
Ezekiel continues to describe this future Israel as a people who
have been regathered from the various nations, after having
been destroyed in the past and scattered to various parts of the
earth (Ezek. 38:10-13).
We know that many of God’s people at the time of Ezekiel’s
prophecy would have been thinking of Jeremiah’s promise of
the restoration of Israel after 70 years of captivity (Jer. 2 9:9).
But when Israel was again destroyed in 70 A . D ., God did not
protect the nation against the Roman army that came to
decimate it. Nor was the Roman army an alliance of nations
from the far north.
Only with the restoration of Israel as a nation in 1948, and the
rise of powerful nations in the far northern regions of Euro-Asia,
did the possibility emerge of such an alliance coming against
Israel.
