Predictions after the Siege of Jerusalem--Judah's Restoration (cont.)

  Ezekiel 38 opens with the doom of Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal. The reference is to the northern (European) powers, perhaps headed up by Russia. (Read these passages in connection with Zechariah 14: 1-9; 12:1-4; Matthew 24:14-30; Revelation 14:14-20; 19:17-21.) Before the curtain falls we read the description of the kingdom during the coming millennial age. This is what the thousand-year reign of Christ on earth is called when He shall sit  upon the throne of David, in Jerusalem. (See Revelation 20:6.) All there prophets tell us of what a glorious day this will be for both Jew and Gentile. We read of the temple, the worship, and the final possession of the land given to Abraham and to his

seed according to the covenant God gave to him. (See Genesis 12:1-3; 13:14,15; 15:18; 17:3-8.)
