EZEKIEL 38:14-19 "Therefore Son of Man, prophesy and say unto Gog: Thus sayeth the Lord God: In that day when My people of Israel dwelleth safely, shalt thou not know it? And thou shalt come from thy place out of the North parts, thou, and many people with thee, all of them riding on horses, a great company, and a mighty army. And thou shalt come against My people of Israel, as a cloud to cover the land. It shall be in the latter days, and I will bring thee against My land, that the heathen may know Me, when I shall be sanctified in thee, O Gog, before their eyes. Thus sayeth the Lord God: art thou he whom I have spoken in old times by My prophets of Israel, which prophesied many years that I would bring thee against them? And it shall come to pass at the same time when Gog shall come against the land of Israel, sayeth the Lord God that My fury shall come up in My face, for in My jealousy in the fire of My wrath have I spoken. Surely in that day there shall be a great shaking in the land of Israel."

I did not choose to shorten this scripture for a text, because it contains one of the greatest prophesies in your Bible and should be of a special interest to all US Americans. I strongly urge that you read the entire 38th chapter of Ezekiel from your own Bible, because it clearly shows what will happen in the future of the United States in the latter days. Most Bible scholars know England, the United States of America, and several other Nations are Biblically identified as the lost ten tribes of God's people, and clearly identified as the "House of Israel." It may surprise some to know that the people called Jews living in the Nation of Israel are Biblically identified as the House of Judah, and consists of only two tribes of God's people. Those being the tribe of Judah and the tiny tribe of Benjamin. If you do not know and believe this; what follows in this message will mean little to you. This prophesy has always greatly concerned me, but because several serious events are developing in our world right now; it is probably of vital importance that we consider it with greater concern. Russia and China have recently met to update their ability in war plans. It was easy to note those plans were directly aimed at America and England. China has given the U.S. strong warning they have A-Bombs and will use them if their plans for Formosa are violated. The early verses of the 38th chapter of Ezekiel positively identifies Russia as the Nation of Gog and will lead a coalition of nations against the nation of unwalled cities as revealed in the 11th verse. That appears as a positive identification of the US, because no other nation in the world has so loosely guarded borders, and unwalled cities. This prophesy came directly from the mouth of God; and it will come to pass in the future exactly as God warned Ezekiel. China is the only nation who can field a million man army; that alone adds a great number of people to the coalition. It is easy to identify some of the other nations. Persia of their same name will be another, Gomer is the modern Germany of today, Togarmah is modern Turkey. Iran will follow Russia who will lead them. Please don’t stop reading it in your Bible until the final outcome is given in the 39th chapter.

Now to highlight a few good points in the original text; we know God gave this prophesy many years ago; even as much as 4,000 years ago, but we also know He knows the future as well as He does the past. He could envision all the modern war equipment of the future; but the people of that time could not have possibly known what He was trying to show if He had named it like He could see it. So He stated it like the most effective army was equipped in that time, and said all were riding on horses. When He said it would happen in the latter days, He was putting it in our time, because we are in the latter day. When he speaks of a great shaking in Israel; the US will probably be hit with an atomic bomb. Nothing else could cause a greater shaking.
