AMPLIFIED 2015 | Revelation 20:8 and will come out to deceive and mislead the nations which are in the four corners of the earth--[including] Gog and Magog--to gather them together for the war; their number is like the sand of the seashore. [Ezek 38:2; 39:1, 6] |
Subject: Who are the Gog and Magog? |
Bible Note: EdB greetings; It just hit me, that you said lookup. I was just thinking, how many times have believers heard this and even used it, I myself being one. Yet I wonder how many actually realize what will transpire before we are actually told to look up, as in Luke 21:28? I think that we often use this as Christian jargon, at least I have, but the context of this saying is very tragic to say the least. If all would read from Luke 21:5-36, as I did, and consider the timing of this often quoted verse it would be an eye opener. Thanks for the comment, it has started me thinking. CDBJ |
