All Nations Will Know I Am The Lord

 Scripture:

“and you will attack my people Israel, covering their land like a cloud. At that time in the distant future, I will bring you against my land as everyone watches, and my holiness will be displayed by what happens to you, Gog. Then all the nations will know that I am the Lord.” ‭‭Ezekiel‬ ‭38‬:‭16‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Observation:

This prophetic word from Ezekiel speaks of Gog attacking Israel in what was called the distant future. Gog is present day Russia. At some point, Russia will invade Israel in a massive invasion. God will arise and defeat Russia as everyone watches. God will arise and display His power and greatness and all nations will know that He is God.

Application:

These chapters speak of what is present day for us today. Israel was a valley of dry bones just 80 years ago. Jews have come and repopulated the nation and have built an incredible force there. Everything God said would happen, has already happened in our lifetime. This war is still in the future, but not far away. We need to see the signs of the times we live in and realize that we are living in the Last Days. We must live knowing that the coming of the Lord is sooner than we think. 

Prayer:

Father, Your Word is so incredibly accurate concerning Your people. Just as You said, they have returned from every nation on the earth. You goal in all of this is that the nations will know that You are the Lord. I want to be part of that. I want to let the world know that You are God and there is none like You. Make me sensitive to Your voice. Open my eyes to see what is happening in my generation. Give me prophetic insight like You gave Ezekiel.

Yours,

Jeff
