Radio show for 11-14-2008:The Third Day #226-The Gog/Magog War-Part 8-Sue Patterson and Randy Maugans-Part 8-”The Border of Wickedness”-Edom, also identified as Esau, is the one who gave up his inheritance for cold soup. His typology runs through the history of old Israel, and now through the apostate church which shares his fate. The Gog/Magog study breaks out more identifications which link the names and places in Ezekiel 38 with the ancient roots of rebellion from the descendants of Noah.

Part 7-”Them That Dwell Safely”-This session explores the cryptic identifications of those in Ezekiel 38 wh

Part 6-”Like A Storm”

“Thou shalt ascend and come like a storm, thou shalt be like a cloud to cover the land, thou, and all thy bands, and many people with thee.”-Ezekiel 38:9

We continue to parse Ezekiel 38 to identify events and “players” in the spiritual overlay, and examine the Gog/Magog war as the metaphorical rendering of the tribulation—the judgement of God’s people, the church.

The forensics of the early passages in Ezekiel 38 is crucial to understanding what this prophecy means and to whom it applies. Most prophecy teachers have built on pre-existing renderings without taking the time to dissect the language; and have reaped the compounded errors. The Third Day study begins with this arduous task to gain a perspective not found in other teachings.

Part 4-”Edom, Moab, and Ammon”-The key identifications of the provocateurs in Ezekiel 38-39 are encoded in Daniel 11—and the classic vision of the King of the North and King of the South battles. Who are these called “bands”, and what causes them to be assembled?

Part 3-”Drawn By Hooks”-We begin breaking out the identifications of the players in Gog/Magog and the curious means by which they are drawn “by hooks” into the great conflict at the end ofthe age.

The Gog/Magog War study begins to examine the geneology of Gog/Magog and the relationship to Reuben—the first-born, disinherited son son of Jacob who is a pattern for the cycle described by Jesus: “the last shall be first, and the first last: for many be called, but few chosen.” (Matthew 20:16).

The Third Day study turns its attention to a segment of prophetic scripture which is both (seemingly) timely, and highly misunderstood: the two chapters of Ezekiel which comprise what is called the “Gog/Magog War”. To gain a perspective on this most cryptic utterance by Ezekiel, we deploy the tools of study which are hallmarks of The Third Day: we scrutinize the CONTEXT of the scripture, examine the players and locations, and break out the study of the key words in the root language.
