    Ez.38:7

    Be Thou Prepared

    "Be thou prepared, and prepare for thyself, thou, and all thy company that are assembled unto thee, and be thou a guard unto them." (v.7)

    Prophet Ezekiel is referring to the kings of the east and his warning to them is juxtaposed by Jesus warning his disciples. " Behold, I have told you before./ Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not./ For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be."(Matt.24:25-28)

    Gog is associated with the land of Magog. "Son of man, set thy face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him,"

    We have already discussed the world made to appear by the word of God refers to the earth for this reason the Preacher reminds us that it abides for ever. (Ec.1:4) The earth and the fulness thereof belong to him. (Ps.24:1) So where did this Gog and Magog come from? 'Thou, and all thy company that are assembled unto thee' are mercenaries brought by Satan. The devil sins from the beginning and John tells us why Jesus had to manifest. He shall destroy the works of Satan. It is thus the events in present world are gravitating inexorably into two camps. So Jesus speaking of many false christs rising it is a sure sign that it is time for the saints redeemed from the earth to be prepared.

    It is in this context we considered the quails sent by an east wind was not merely about the nation of Israel loathing manna in the wilderness. The feathered fowl was a symbol. 'Christ in us' is also our spiritual food as Jesus taught us. Doing the will of God should be our meat and drink. So lusting for meat was tantamount to loathing the angel's food. Here we see the slippery path to their destruction as a nation. They are synonymous with the land of Magog.

    In Ch.37 the Spirit shows the prophet an army of dry bones (1 of 2)
