The Burning of Gog of Magog’s Weapons Video Transcript
Ezekiel 39 states that Gog of Magog and his armies will be destroyed by the Lord:
Ezekiel 39:1-8: (1) Therefore, thou son of man, prophesy against Gog, and say, Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal: (2) And I will turn thee back, and leave but the sixth part of thee, and will cause thee to come up from the north parts, and will bring thee upon the mountains of Israel: (3) And I will smite thy bow out of thy left hand, and will cause thine arrows to fall out of thy right hand. (4) Thou shalt fall upon the mountains of Israel, thou, and all thy bands, and the people that is with thee: I will give thee unto the ravenous birds of every sort, and to the beasts of the field to be devoured. (5) Thou shalt fall upon the open field: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord God. (6) And I will send a fire on Magog, and among them that dwell carelessly in the isles: and they shall know that I am the Lord. (7) So will I make my holy name known in the midst of my people Israel; and I will not let them pollute my holy name any more: and the heathen shall know that I am the Lord, the Holy One in Israel. (8) Behold, it is come, and it is done, saith the Lord God; this is the day whereof I have spoken.
Verse 9 and 10 state that the cities of Israel will burn weapons for seven years and the weapons can serve as fuel:
Ezekiel 39:9-10: (9) And they that dwell in the cities of Israel shall go forth, and shall set on fire and burn the weapons, both the shields and the bucklers, the bows and the arrows, and the handstaves, and the spears, and they shall burn them with fire seven years: (10) So that they shall take no wood out of the field, neither cut down any out of the forests; for they shall burn the weapons with fire: and they shall spoil those that spoiled them, and rob those that robbed them, saith the Lord God.
Some believe verse 9 and 10 is proof that the destruction of Gog and his armies will take place at the start of the Tribulation. However, I disagree.
The destruction of Gog and his armies will take place at the end of the Tribulation when the Lord returns. The burning of weapons can easily extend into the Millennium.
