Today’s passage: Ezekiel 38
Helpful thoughts:
- The identities of the leader and people referred to as “Gog and Magog” are a mystery. There are many who have made guesses (From Alexander the Great to Russia), but we won’t be sure until the prophecy is fulfilled.
- God’s victory over God and Magog is also spoken of in Revelation 20:8.
- Beyond Gog and Magog, it appears there will be enemies coming against Israel from all around (Verses 5-6).
- God’s holiness means that He is like no other. He is set apart from all creation. Nothing and no one is His equal.
Questions to consider:
- Why will all these nations come to fight against Israel in the end times (Verse 4, 16)? What will God use their attacks to display for all the world to see?
- Why will God’s victory over the nations of the world be hard to credit to anyone other than God? How will this victory be won (Verses 19-23)? How will it show God’s greatness and holiness?
- How can this description of God’s sovereignty and holiness give you confidence and compassion toward others in the midst of the world today?
