Prophecy Against
Gog
After many days
thou shalt be visited: in the latter years thou shalt come into the
land [that is] brought back from the sword, [and is] gathered out of
many people, against the mountains of Israel, which have been always
waste: but it is brought forth out of the nations, and they shall
dwell safely all of them. Eze.38:8

make its final bid for the Land.

back from... Refers to Israelites who have been returned to their

gathered
out of... Gathered is a word also frequently referring to God’s
final regathering of Israel. It has begun historically and will
continue until the latter days. In the final millennial kingdom,

is saved to enter their promised kingdom.
shall
dwell safely... Dwell safely means the Israelites’ blessed estate
after God has brought them back to their land before
the Antichrist breaks his covenant with them 3 ½ years into the
tribulation period or Daniel's 70th
week.
