Gog of Magog...

[BroRando]

Gog of Magog...

Gog of Magog in the Book of Ezekiel represents Satan's Entire Political system of things. It is Pre- Millennial. Once the Great Tribulation starts, Jesus separates the sheep and goats and then he turns his attention towards Satan's Entire Political system of things. Christ Millennial Reign actually begins at Armageddon, the Revelation Phase of his Presence. You can study the three phases of Christ Return to help with Spiritual Insight.

Satan's Earthly Organization has many facets and allies that work in its behalf to starve, maim, and kill anyone who refuses to receive its mark. "It puts under compulsion all people—the small and the great, the rich and the poor, the free and the slaves—that these should be marked on their right hand or on their forehead,  and that nobody can buy or sell except a person having the mark, the name of the wild beast or the number of its name." (Rev 13:16)

Soon, Gog of Magog will be no more.... and Satan and his hordes abyssed. After the 'time limit' of the thousand years comes to its end, Satan is released from the abyss and influences mankind once again to take on a rebellion. Those who reject Jehovah's Sovereignty as expressed by Christ and the 144,000 will gather Worldwide.

Gog and Magog comes about, as It is Post- Millennial. The conquest of Jesus Christ isn't over just yet, the War of Almighty God continues: "Now as soon as the 1,000 years have ended, Satan will be released from his prison, and he will go out to mislead those nations in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Maʹgog, to gather them together for the war. The number of these is as the sand of the sea." (Rev 20:7-8)

"And they advanced over the whole earth and encircled the camp of the holy ones and the beloved city. But fire came down out of heaven and consumed them." (Rev 20:9) "And the Devil who was misleading them was hurled into the lake of fire and sulfur, where both the wild beast and the false prophet already were; and they will be tormented day and night forever and ever." (Rev 20:10)

'Next, the end, when he hands over the Kingdom to his God and Father, when he has brought to nothing all government and all authority and power.' (1 Corinthians 15:24) It's at this point that, Jesus Christ can once again make the claim, "It has been accomplished!" He will have finished his conquest to the full, bringing mankind back to perfection as to the time of Adam and Eve's perfect condition prior to their willful sinning....

Use your critical thinking skills.

Who are the “holy ones”? 

From your Insight Book, p. 1132

Christian Holy Ones. Persons brought into relationship with God by means of the new covenant are sanctified, cleansed, and set apart for God’s exclusive service by “the blood of the covenant,” the shed blood of Jesus Christ. (Heb 10:29; 13:20) They are thereby constituted “holy ones” (“saints” in KJ and some other versions). Consequently, they do not become “holy ones,” or “saints,” by decree of a man or an organization, but by God, who brings them into covenant relationship with himself through the blood of Jesus Christ. The term “holy ones” applies to all those thus brought into union and joint heirship with Christ, not to a mere few considered to have exceptional holiness. It is also applied in the Bible to them from the beginning of their sanctified course on earth, not being deferred until after their death. Peter says they must be holy because God is holy. (1Pe 1:15, 16; Le 11:44) All the spiritual brothers of Christ in the congregations are frequently called “holy ones.”—Ac 9:13; 26:10; Ro 1:7; 12:13; 2Co 1:1; 13:13.

As the “wife” of Christ, the entire congregation is represented as wearing bright, clean, fine linen, which stands for “the righteous acts of the holy ones.” (Re 19:7, 8) Against these, while they are on earth, Satan the Devil’s symbolic political “wild beast” is seen in vision waging war. (Re 13:3, 7) Thereby the endurance of the holy ones is severely tested, but they conquer by observing the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.—Re 13:10; 14:12.

Where do you believe the “holy ones”, the anointed “144,000”,  will be after Armageddon, and a thousand years into it?  The Wt depicts them as being here:

 

Do you really believe that God and Jesus will allow Gog and Magog to enter “heaven” and “surround the camp of the holy ones?”

When the enemy surrounds a camp of people, it usually signifies some sort of battle going on, or war.  Will that war be fought in heaven?  Again?  (Rev 12:7-9)  No, the scriptures make it clear that the camp of the holy ones are surrounded on earth.  Do you see this?  Can you analyze these scriptures with open eyes?

"Then I stood on the sand of the sea. And I saw a beast rising up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and on his horns ten crowns, and on his heads a blasphemous name.

 And he was given a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies, and he was given authority to continue for forty-two months. 6 Then he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme His name, His tabernacle, and those who dwell in heaven. 7 It was granted to him to make war with the saints and to overcome them. And authority was given him over every tribe, tongue, and nation."  Rev 13:1,5-7

The war of Armageddon is a battle of truth against lies.  Your organization and you, fight against the truth in God’s word.  I don’t think you realize your GB and elders would rather see all “holy ones” trampled into silence, than speaking for Christ. (Matt 24:15,16; 2 Thess 2:3,4; 1 Cor 3:16,17) Gog and Magog, aka the GB and the organization, are at “war” against truth in God’s word. Your GB member Davis Splane mentioned that JWs are at war.   They prefer to see the anointed who stand up against their organization (yes, just as Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego refused to bow down to Nebuchadnezzar’s idol) “killed” and silenced – which is the trademark of war; this one, is a spiritual war. (Rev 13:15,16; 11:1-3,7)

But, as hard as your leadership tries, we will not stay silent.  Rev 18:4-8

There is no uprising after the organization is destroyed at the coming of Jesus Christ.  (2 Thess 2:8; Rev 13:18; 19:20; Dan 7:11; Rev 20:9,10)

Let's get right down to the REAL nitty-gritty .... where the rubber meets the road.

SCENARIO NO. 1:

Someone with an I.Q. not much higher than a Cocker Spaniel with a headache, let's call him T'MOOG, lives in the outback of Australia, eating termites, and standing on one leg to sleep at night. He has no concept of the Biblical Reference of Gog, Magog, or even of a Cocker Spaniel dog, Los Angeles Smog, or Kermit the Frog.

SCENARIO NO. 2:

Someone with an I.Q. in excess of 200 has studied Biblical Prophesy his whole adult life, let's call him ABNER EASTWOOD, and is one of only 23 people on Earth that has, or has ever understood completely what Jehovah has in mind .... including contingencies, ramifications, and subtle nuances in great detail.

He knows absolutely  everything there is to know about everything there is to know about Gog of Magog.

The fact remains that neither T'MOOG, or ABNER EASTWOOD can do Anything about any of it.

Nothing whatsoever.

Zip, Zero, Nada, Goose Eggs.

Meanwhile, ABNER is an unsufferable bore who beats others over their head with what he knows, and they care not at all, and is a truly miserable person. He has no joy in what he knows, as he is well aware THERE IS NOTHING HE CAN DO WITH THAT INFORMATION.

... and T'MOOG, who leads a very hard life, wakes up one morning, holding on to his spear, and puts both feet in the dirt beneath his bare feet, and like the Cocker Spaniel, looks out at the new day and realizes he is completely happy.

In a war, if you knew that the enemy was targeting your friend, wouldn’t you tell that friend it was time to get the heck out of the line of fire?  On the surface, the organization appears to be full of good intent, with good leaders.  But that is where the holy ones are found, and the elder “shepherds” who have taken their place as priests, have been given the authority to tell them not to seek out other anointed, and not to study the Bible, as a group. To any reasonable Christian, this should sound tyrannical. (2 Cor 11:20; Gal 1:10)  These “shepherds” have the authority to judge the holy ones as unworthy of God’s spirit.  By representing the royal priesthood, they have as “Gentiles”, “entered” the Temple of God, trampling down a people with a flood of lies sourced from a false prophet’s mouth.   (1 Pet 2:5,9; 1 Cor 3:16,17; Eph 2:20-22) (Matt 24:24,25; Col 2:8; 1 Tim 4:1; Rev 8:10,11; 13:11,12,15)

Under the surface of what appears as righteous, the organization (Magog) is the deceitful enemy against the holy ones.  (Rev 13:1,2,5-7,11,12)  In light of this, we are told to do one thing - FLEE, and take as many as you can with you.  (Matt 24:15,16; Mark 13:14; 2 Thess 2:3,4,8; Rev 11:1,2; Luke 17:26-30; Rev 18:4-8)

That, is what you can do about it.

[Pudgy]

You are conflating two different things, based on your AGENDA, which makes your logic and reasoning faulty ... and just plain wrong. A common problem growing worse every day among the general population.

This is the last sentence you posted that was even reasonable, but I have found that if people I care about are in the line of fire, and I yell "DUCK", they will invariably stand up and look around for a duck.

Lets say there are 8 million JWs in a world of say 8 Billion people. The global birth rate is expanding, and the number of JWs are decreasing. But that is not the point, and your points really have no points because they are MERELY the result of your fantasy driven obsession .... trying to make anything agree with your perspective on who the "Annointed" really are.

You ask, in a war, if you knew that the enemy was targeting your friend, wouldn’t you tell that friend it was time to get the heck out of the line of fire?

Not really .... there is absolutely no point to it, none whatsoever.

At Armageddon, whatever the means, and however it happens , say, oh .... global thermonuclear war with the Holy ones selected by God, perhaps individually protected by an individual force field .... the only thing I would do, if I could, is turn to whoever is beside me, and offer them a beer, and take out my iPhone 7 plus, and get some photos.

.... or perhaps instantaneously evaporate into 5 million degree gasses, beer, iPhone and all.

Whatever is the case ..... soon enough we will ALL know for sure ... and there is NOTHING we can do to change it, speed it up, slow it down, avoid it, or get into the fray.

....... patience Grasshopper!

We all have an agenda and God does also.  The GB have the agenda to mislead.  To counter that, God "sends" his messengers, who tell the truth about their deceit.  It was always that way with Israel, and now with spiritual "Israel".  Jer 5:14; Rev 1:1; 11:1-3; Jer 23:29

Well, you certainly were not sent by the true God Jehovah by all your deceit. And you certainly are not spiritual "Israel" stirring up a witches brew claiming God's Name is not Jehovah. Can we assume the Christ is not Jesus?  Are there no Jews? You're FULL of deceit.

So because you are lukewarm and neither hote nor cold,f I am going to vomit you out of my mouth. (Rev 3:16)

I'm pointing to your blatant hypocrisy of your witches brew when you denounced the Name JEHOVAH.  Claiming there is no Jevovah which proves you a liar.  No "J" would mean No Jesus, No Jews. Being a bigot suits you so well. Witches are cunning but not very smart, sorta dumb actually.
