You're Going To Hear

Son of man, set thy face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him...  Ezekiel 38:2 KJV

After the word of the Lord came to Ezekiel the prophet again, the prophecy begins with words that you're going to hear quite a bit for a time. We are going to study it in our Bible study tomorrow. However, is this the beginning of the prophecy in our time that we read in the news feeds, or is it another war and rumor of war that are but the beginnings of those labor pains of the end time? Until the mountains of Israel become involved with an army of a great coalition, this is but one of those other wars. This does not mean that we can set this aside lightly, for every war brings with it suffering and death of innocents, plus the deaths of military personnel who are sons, daughters, fathers and mothers of someone who loves them.  The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan did not so long ago, as did a great many other wars going back many centuries. We can join in the outrage over this latest war, or study and learn from it, or we can pray that it ends swiftly, but the first thing Jesus told us to do was, "see that you are not troubled." Yes, it's in Matthew 24, right after 'wars and rumors of wars'.  

Set aside that worry, depression, or anxiety and pray to the Lord in faith!
