Gog: Israel
built 244 days ago
The vision then moves to God's destruction of Gog's (Satan's) antichrist, the beast/little horn...the Assyrian at Armageddon. The occupation, rule, and persecution of Israel for 42 months is just not in the scope of Ezekiel's vision. This is not an uncommon structure for prophetic visions.

Ezekiel 39 clearly indicates that God's intervention in destroying the armies of Gog is the BEGINNING of a marvelous time for the regathered people of Israel. There is no room in this prophecy for a later "battle of Armageddon." Once Yeshua has returned and defeated the armies of Gog, the official beginning of the millennial reign of the Messiah will begin. It will be a golden age not only for Israel, but for the entire world.

Persia, Cush, Put and Gomer are listed as allies with Gog in this massive invasion force, an army of horsemen, equipped with swords, shields and helmets (vv. 5-6), described as advancing like as storm from the north (v. 9), just as the Babylonian advance against Jerusalem was described by Jeremiah in his day (4:13). The enemies of Israel have always been depicted as coming from the "north", be they Assyria, Babylon or Syria. Verse 15 has "from the far north", rendered by the NRSV as "out of the remotest parts of the north".

The Temple will be built, after the Dome of the Rock is removed, following the war of Gog and Magog. Islam as threat to Israel’s existence will end. The future world leader to come (Daniel 9:27) the Antichrist, will make a seven-year agreement allowing Temple worship and sacrifice, this end with the Abomination of Desolation.
