Wars – what wars?
There is a lot of talk about World War 3, the Gog/Magog War, Armageddon, etc. The actual fact is – they are not wars at all! They are all events where God uses seemingly natural occurrences, such as earthquakes, hailstorms, plagues and sunstrikes to destroy enemy armies. The exception is when Jesus uses the Sword of His Word at His Return.
The so called next Mid East war or W.W. 3:
Micah 4:11-12 Now many nations are massed against Israel.....They do not know the Lord's purpose, for He has gathered them for the threshing.
Psalms 83:13-15 Scatter Your enemies, O God, like thistledown, like chaff before the wind, like a fire raging through the forested hills. Pursue them with Your tempest, terrify them with Your storm winds.
2 Samuel 22:9-16 The earth quaked, shaking because of the Lord’s anger. Smoke and devouring fire issued from Him. He parted the heavens and came down, thick darkness His covering. God thundered from heaven, lightning shafts flashed.
Psalms 50:1-3 The Lord is coming, a consuming fire, around Him a great storm rages.
Zechariah 9:14 The Lord will appear over them, His arrows flashing like lightning.

Isaiah 30:26 The sun will shine 7 times brighter on the Day the Lord saves His people.
A Coronal Mass Ejection of unprecedented magnitude will literally fulfil all the graphic prophesies about the forthcoming actual Day of the Lord’s fiery wrath.
The Gog, Magog attack:
Ezekiel 38:19-22 I shall bring them to judgement with pestilence and bloodshed. I shall pour torrential rain and hailstorms as well as fire and brimstone on them all. In My anger, there will be a great earthquake in Israel that day. Terror will strike the hearts of Gog’s armies and his men will turn their swords against one another.
Joel 2:20 I shall remove the Northern peril far from you and banish them into the desert. The stench and foul smell of them will rise up.
Armageddon – at the Return of Jesus:
Revelation 19:15-21 Out of His mouth came a sharp sword to smite the nations.
Zechariah 14:12-15 The Lord will strike with plague all the nations who warred against Israel

End of the Millennium:
Rev 20:7-10 When the 1000 years has ended, Satan will seduce the nations. They lay siege to God’s city. But fire came down from heaven and consumed them.
What God requires of His people, is trust and faith that He will deliver and protect them. They must be prepared to take advantage of any situation, but with fervent prayer for the Lords deliverance, trusting in His provision for them.
Isaiah 30:15 In calm detachment lies your safety, your strength in quiet trust.

His righteous people will inherit the Land and will live there forever.

Jeremiah 39:18 I shall keep you safe, you will not be killed, because you trusted in Me. Ref: REB. Verses abridged.
