Hi John and Doves,

 

It could be a distinct possibility that Ezekiel 37 is also describing the last days resurrection of the dead. Recall that the rapture does not precede the resurrection of the dead. The resurrection of the dead has to come first. If this is the case, then I propose that Ezekiel 38 happens because Messiah Jesus has touched down in Jerusalem. His glorious arrival sets off the prophesied chain of events - i.e. the resurrection of the dead. Followed swiftly by the rapture. This is why the nations unite to attack Israel. They are coming against Christ, Himself. The biggest threat to their power over this world is Messiah Jesus, Himself. Recall that Gog is killed and given a grave in Jerusalem.

 

In their testimonies, Natan and Caroline described a huge attack, within Israel (Jerusalem) by Islamists. In Caroline's testimony, titled 3 Final Hours before the Messiah arrives, the butchery and attacks are carried out by Islamist terrorists. The united forces of the other nations are not mentioned by Caroline, as she has made it into the safety of the split Mount of Olives. Natan saw the united armies of the world's nations, attacking Israel. I am more and more convinced that the nations unite to attack Israel BECAUSE our beloved Messiah Jesus has arrived, back in Jerusalem. Evil cannot tolerate this. They will fight to the death to maintain their stranglehold on this world.  Much more study is required on this subject.
