The Shaking of Nations - A Harvest Tsunami Is On Its Way....

Kiel and Delitzsch see that these Gentile believers (formerly

adversaries) are now able to be priests to God, illustrative now

of the “priesthood” of every believer (1 Peter 2:5,9).

So, what war is Isaiah referring to? There is no way can we see

this war referring to the Antichrist war with Jesus, or the final

war of Satan with God. There is no way Antichrist would allow

his soldiers to evade getting his mark; and no survivor bearing

the mark of the beast could be used by God to finish the Great

Commission (Rev. 14:11). Plus, the main emphasis here is that

this war and its supernatural sign would “lead to” the fulfillment

of the Great Commission and the eventual inclusion of Israel

into the new covenant. The only war that meets these criteria

would be the war of Gog.

Zechariah 12 and 14

Let me review one more important reference to this war. In

Zechariah 12 and 14, the prophet speaks about two different

wars coming to Israel in the last days. The first one is a

supernatural success against a great army. The second one is

almost brings the death of the nation, requiring a direct

intervention by God’s Messiah. From our previous section, we

see the first war as the war with Gog and the second as the war

with Antichrist.
