Current events demand that we understand what the Bible says in its prophetic passages. Many Christians are entertaining the idea that we are in the time of Ezekiel 38-39. Is that the case? Is Gog rising upon the earth? I don’t believe so as I will explain below.
The war of Gog and Magog is sometimes confused with the Battle of Armageddon. These two events are different for several reasons.
First, the war of Gog and Magog has a very focused theater of operations, namely Israel. The assembled armies come against Israel specifically and are destroyed by Yahweh Himself. Conversely, the battle of Armageddon is a worldwide conflict of the nations of the world assembled against Jesus Christ.
