World @ War (Part 5 of the Series) The Valley of Hamongog and the Valley of Har Megiddo by M. Eichhorst I hear all the time people say when disaster strikes, it’s “Armageddon”, It’s the “Apocalypse”, It’s the “End of the World” but do you really know what you are saying? We must look at what the entire Bible has to say about this and what El Shaddai said about these 2 very distinctively different wars. Locations The Location of these 2 Battles is everything so let’s examine what the Bible has to say. I have underlined and bold type the important factors of these locations. (1) Location of the Battle of Hamongog: Ezekiel 39:11. It shall be on that day that I will assign Gog a burial site there in Israel. The Valley of the Passersby, East of the Sea; it will block the passersby and there they will bury Gog and all his multitudes and call it the Valley of Hamongog (Gog’s Multitudes). “East of the Sea” is talking about 2 Sea’s on the border of Israel and Jordan and is the SEA OF GALILEE AND THE DEAD SEA which borders Israel and Jordan, thus putting the battle in Jordan to the “East of the Sea of Galilee and the Dead Sea”. However, another key factor is Damascus, Syria as the Bible in Isaiah 17 explains the total and complete annihilation of the city that it will never be inhabitable ever again. So that puts the battle from Syria to Jordan. Another key factor is the “Valley of the Passersby” also known as “the Valley of the Passengers” and “the Valley of the Travelers” which is the place known as Petra, Jordan as many travelers traveled to and from Petra. The actual Valley of the Hamongog Burial Site is possible the Jordan Valley where the road leads from Israel to Petra, Jordan. It is between Israel and Jordan and between the Sea of Galilee to the North and the Dead Sea to the South. (2) Location of the Battle of Har Megiddo: Revelation 16:16. “And they collected them together in a place called, in Hebrew, Har Megiddo.” Now we are getting a clearer picture of what that means where it is talking about which is Har Megiddo (Mount Megiddo), Israel and the Valley of Megiddo thereof, which is in the Northern Reign of Israel to the North of Jerusalem, Israel about 79 miles by road, and less by air. As you can clearly see by the locations that both battles are in completely distinctively different locations. One is to the east in Jordan, which the other is to the North of Jerusalem in Israel. The timing of both battles is extremely different, where the Battle of Hamongog occurs sometime during the “Great Sufferings” several years before the Messianic Age or the Day of Adonai (LORD) which the other Battle of Har Megiddo occurs at the end of the time of “Great Sufferings” after 5 months of torment with the creatures of the abyss dividing the two battles by hundreds of miles. The Battle of Hamongog (World War 3) This battle will take place during the time of “Great Sufferings”. The Bible talks more about this battle which confuses even the most knowledgeable of Rabbi’s, Ministers, Priests, Biblical Theologians, Scholars, Synagogue and Church Congregation, thus leaving the misinterpretation of the Bible. There is more written about this battle than any other. This battle will be misunderstood as the Battle of Armageddon but will be a great lie. Many which will believe the lie will assume that when the battle is over that it “Was NOT the End of the World”, and will call the Bible, Christians, and Jews, LIARS, but they would be wrong, because they have not studied the truth of the light of the world. This battle is described in many verses in the Bible, it lists the players and talks about the war in Ezekiel 38:1-2. “The word of El Shaddai came to me (the Prophet Ezekiel), saying, “Son of Man” (the Prophet Ezekiel), direct you face towards Gog of the land of Magog, the prince leader of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy concerning him”. Son of Man in this instance cannot mean Rabbi Yeshua, because it says, “El Shaddai came unto me” so therefore the Son of Man refers to the Prophet Ezekiel and in the latter days it refers to Human Beings. So, this means that Adonai El Shaddai is telling all of us what is to come in the latter days. (Please don’t get confused with the Son of Man in the Bible, most of the time it refers to Rabbi Yeshua, however there are other times the Son of Man refers to those before us and today all of us). Here are a few scriptures which talk about World War 3 or the Battle of Gog. Great Battle with many nations & Russia: Ezekiel 38-39 Destruction of Damascus, Syria: Isaiah 17 Nuclear War or God’s Nuclear Option: Zachariah 14:12 The Kings of the East: Revelation 16:12 - China, Iran, North Korea to name a few. North Korea maybe the vessel which will cause the destruction of Damascus, Syria and begin World War 3. The US, Japan, South Korea may have their hands full with the evil dictator king of North Korea to help Israel, which may be why the US doesn’t appear to be mentioned. The End is NOT Yet: Matthew 24:6. For you are bound to hear of revolutions and rumor of wars. Watch out and do not be disturbed, for it is necessary that all these things happen, but it is not yet the end. The Battle of Har Megiddo (World War 4) This battle will take place at the end of the time of “Great Sufferings” after the last 5 months described in Revelation 9:7-10 has occurred. This battle will be cut short however does not give a specific period of how long this battle will be, only that blood will flow heavy in the Valley of Megiddo before El Shaddai and His Mashiach arrives in Israel. Revelation 9:7-10 7. And the appearance of the locusts (was this): they were like the appearance of horses prepared for battle; and on their heads was, as it were a crown, resembling gold; and their faces were like the faces of men. 8. And they had hair, like the hair of women: and their teeth were like those of lions. 9. And they had breastplates, like breastplates of iron: and the sound of their wings was like the sound of the chariots of many horses rushing into battle. 10. And they had tails like those of scorpions, and stings; and with their tails they had the power of hurting men five months. Revelation 16:1-21 1. And I heard a voice which said to the seven Messengers: “Go forth and pour those seven cups of the wrath of El Shaddai upon the earth.” 2. And the first went and poured his cup upon the earth; and there was a malignant and painful sore upon those men who had the mark of the beast of prey, and who worshipped its image. 3. And the second Messenger poured his cup upon the sea; and it became blood, like that of a dead person; and every living soul of things in the sea, died. 4. And the third Messenger poured his cup upon the rivers and the fountains of water; and they became blood. 5. And I heard the Messenger of the waters say: “Righteous are you, Who is and Who was and are Set Apart; because You have done this judgment. 6. For they have shed the blood of Set Apart believers and prophets; and you have given them blood to drink, for they deserve it.” 7. And I heard (one from) the altar say: “Yes, Master YHWH, Elohim Almighty: true and righteous is your judgment.” 8. And the fourth poured his cup upon the sun: and it was permitted him to scorch men with fire. 9. And men were scorched with great heat; and men blasphemed the name of Elohim who has authority over these plagues; and they did not repent, to give glory to Him. 10. And the fifth poured his cup on the throne of the beast of prey; and his kingdom became darkness; and they gnawed their tongues from pain; 11. and they blasphemed the El Shaddai of heaven on account of their pains and their ulcers, and did not repent of their deeds. 12. And the sixth poured his cup upon the great river Euphrates; and its waters dried up so that a way might be prepared for the kings from the rising of the sun. 13. And I saw (issuing) from the mouth of the dragon, and from the mouth of the beast of prey, and from the mouth of the false prophet, three unclean spirits like frogs: 14. (for they are the spirits of demons who work signs;) and they go forth to all the kings of all the habitable world, to gather them to the battle of the great day of El Shaddai. 15. (And lo, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watches and keeps his garments; or else he walk naked and they see his shame.) 16. And they collected them together in a place called, in Hebrew, Har Megiddo (Greek & English: Armageddon). 17. And the seventh poured his cup on the air; and there issued a loud voice from the temple, from the throne, which said: “It is done!” 18. And there were flashes of lightning, and thunders, and voices; and there was a great earthquake, the like of which there was never, since men were on the earth, such an earthquake, and so great. 19. And the great city became three parts. And the city of the nations fell (possible the United Nations.); and Babylon the great (Vaticanus, Italy) was remembered before El Shaddai, to give her the cup of the wine of the heat of his wrath. 20. And every island fled away; and the mountains were not found. 21. And a great hail, as it were of a talent weight, fell from heaven upon men: and the men blasphemed El Shaddai on account of the plague of hail; for the plague of it was very great. Revelation 19:11-21 11. And I saw heaven opened: and lo, a white horse; and he that sat on it is called Faithful and True: and in righteousness he judges, and makes war. 12. His eyes (were) like a flame of fire, and on his head (were) many diadems; and he had names inscribed; and the name which was written on him, no one knew, except himself. 13. And he was clothed with a vesture sprinkled with blood; and his name is called, “The Word of El Shaddai.” 14. And the army of heaven followed him on white horses, clad in garments of fine linen, pure (and) white. 15. And from his mouth issued a sharp two-edged sword, that with it he could strike the nations; and he will rule the nations with a rod of iron; and he will tread the wine-press of the wrath of El Shaddai. 16. And he has upon his vesture and upon his thigh the words written: “King of Kings, and Master of Masters.” 17. And I saw a Messenger standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven: “Come you, assemble to this great supper of El Shaddai; 18. that you may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains of thousands, and the flesh of valiant men, and the flesh of horses and of those who sit on them, and the flesh of all the free-born and of slaves, and of the small and the great.” 19. And I saw the beast of prey and the kings of the earth and their warriors, that they assembled to wage battle with him who sat on the (white) horse, and with his warriors. 20. And the beast of prey was captured, and the false prophet that was with him, who did those prodigies before him, whereby he seduced them who had received the mark of the beast of prey and who worshipped his image. And they were both cast alive into the lake of fire which burns with sulfur. 21. And the rest were slain by the sword of him that sat on the horse, by that (sword) which issues from his mouth: and all the fowls were satiated with their flesh. Battle of the End of the World (World War 5) This will occur at the end of the 1,000 year reign of El Shaddai and His Mashiach, which is the end of the day of the El Shaddai and is also known as the end of the world. (Please do not get confused with Gog and Magog of Ezekiel 38-39 for this is completely different) Gog and Magog what the scriptures are talking in Revelation 20 about are fallen angels, with all the fallen angels, there offspring’s and those in hell, except those which excepted the mark of the beast which are already in the 2nd death of the lake of fire and brimstone. Revelation 20:7-9 7. And when these thousand years will be completed, Satan will be released from his prison; 8. and will go forth to seduce the nations that are in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog; and to assemble them for battle, whose number is as the sand of the sea. 9. And they went up on the breadth of the earth and encompassed the camp of the Set Apart believers and the beloved city. And fire came down from Elohim out of heaven and consumed them. Matthew 24:13-14 13. But whoever has patience until the end, he will have life. 14. And this Good News of the Kingdom will be preached in all the world as a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come. The Book of Life was created at the creation of the world when God created it. It plays an important function at the end of the world. Those which were found in the Book of Life with gain eternal everlasting life for that is there reward. Those which were not found in the Book of Life will receive there due and be placed into the 2nd death of the Lake of Fire and Brimstone for that is there reward however for those which are neither hot not cold will have to give an account of the life before God. Revelation 3:15-16 15. I know your works, that you are neither hot, nor cold; I would desire that you would be either cold or hot. 16. So, because you are lukewarm, neither hot nor cold, I am about to vomit you from my mouth. Revelation 20:11-15 11. And I saw a great white throne and Him who sits upon it; from whose presence the earth and heaven fled away, and this their place was not found. 12. And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne; and the books were opened; and another book was opened, which is (the book) of life. And the dead were judged from the things written in the books, according to their deeds. 13. And the sea gave up the dead in it; and death and Sheol gave up the dead in them. And they were judged, each one according to his deeds. 14. And death and Sheol were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death, (namely,) this lake of fire. 15. And if anyone was not found enrolled in the book of life, he was cast into this lake of fire. Revelation 21:1-4 1. And I saw new heavens and a new earth: for the former heaven and the former earth had passed away: and the sea was no more. 2. And I saw the Set Apart city, the New Urishlim, descending from El Shaddai out of heaven, prepared like a bride adorned for her husband. 3. And I heard a great voice from heaven, which said: “Behold, the tabernacle of El Shaddai is with men; and he dwells with them: they will be his people; and El Shaddai will be with them, an El Shaddai to them. 4. And every tear will be wiped from their eyes; and there will no more be death, nor mourning, nor wailing; nor will pain be any more; because the former things are passed away.”
