ARMAGEDDON
Revelation 12:3-4 And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads. 4 And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.

When beginning to study the prophecies and trying to figure out what’s going on, I was confused by the invasion of Israel by Magog (Russia) and its allies. My thinking was, how can this possibly not be the battle of Armageddon? My problem was, simple. If it WAS the battle of Armageddon, why didn’t “they” (whoever) just call it “Armageddon”? Well, they didn’t because they didn’t. That’s the only answer I could come up with. So, just keep digging.

When I reached the battle that IS called the battle of Armageddon, David Jeremiah says this: “Satan’s first attempt at persecution will be the battle of Gog and Magog. This battle, which precedes the battle of Armageddon, will be a massive, Russian-led coalition of nations coming against Israel like a swarm of hornets against a defenseless child.” David Jeremiah, Book of Signs, p. 337.

In the battle of Gog and Magog, we are told the battle is so intense that only God Himself can rescue Israel from being annihilated.

Satan knows prophecy, much better than I do. The rebuke he received in the Garden has been ringing in his ears since it happened. He knows his future and has been in a seething rage ever since. The seed of woman is on the scene, ready to crush him once and for all. Satan’s goal, before his own destruction, is to destroy the Jewish people before Christ’s kingdom can be established to rule the earth. This kingdom will be the ultimate fulfillment of the covenant God made with Abraham to bless his people, the Jews and Gentiles.
