Many Bible prophecy teachers have incorrectly said something about Gog and Magog’s battle in Ezekiel 38, and I might be one of them. We have incorrectly said that Gog and Magog could happen at any moment.

Upon some careful study of the words here, I no longer think it could happen at literally any moment. I believe there are a few things that need to take place before Gog and Magog can come about.

Gog and Magog, at a minimum, is several months away. It could be years. It could even be a thousand years. There’s a lot of possibilities, and we’ll talk about those possibilities today on the Cross References podcast.

The Bible has a lot of strange locations thrown at us in Ezekiel 38 and 39.

Persia, Cush, Put, Gomer, Meshech, Tubal, Beth-Togarmah, Mos Eisley, Alderaan, Obi-Wan Kenobi, you’d need a time machine to know where all these places are.

In fact, you’d need a space ship, too, because some of them only exist in a galaxy far, far away.

Since we don’t have time travel technology all figured out yet, we’ll have to rely on history to tell us where all these places are.

But why is knowing all these names important, anyway? Because these are the nations or peoples who are prophesied to come against Israel in an epic battle in the last days. The famous prophecy of Gog and Magog.

And this prophecy’s fulfillment may be close. And it may not. That’s why we have to understand what nations we should be watching closely. Once we’ve established who is who in this biblical drama, we’ll know how to see them coming into alignment with this prophecy- and perhaps be able to track how close we are to Gog and Magog’s battle play out.

I’ll teach you the signs we’re looking for today on the Cross References podcast.

We’re finally here, the most famous section of Ezekiel: chapters 38 and 39. The battle of Gog and Magog.

This chapter is about an alliance of nations that band together to attack Israel in the end times. The list of nations includes names like Cush, Put, Togarmah and more, and they’re led by a figure named Gog.

I don’t know about you, but these sound like someone in Scrabble trying to make up words with whatever tiles they have left. In fact, it’s hard to know who all it’s talking about unless we do some historical research to find out what these words meant to Ezekiel’s original audience.

And that’s not difficult to do, except when it comes to the identity of the leader of this alliance: Gog.

Who is Gog? That’s the question we’re going to start this multi week study with, and it all begins today on the Cross References podcast.
