The Great Army.
The Great Army.
This great army is so massive that there has never been anything like it or will again. Russia will call on former Soviet nations to come with them, plus three other nations – Iran, Ethiopia and Libya.
`…a people come, great and strong, the like of whom has never been; nor will there ever be any such after them, even for many successive generations.` (Joel 2: 2)
`Persia, (Iran) Ethiopia, and Libya are with them…Gomer (Turkey) and all its troops; the house of Togarmah from the far north and all its troops, many people are with you. (Ez. 38: 5 & 6)
The Evil Plan.
The Russian leader will have an evil plan to go and get spoil from Israel.
`Thus says the Lord God: “On that day it shall come to pass that thoughts will arise in your mind, and you will make an evil plan. You will say, `I will go up against a land to a peaceful people, who dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates to take plunder and to take booty…` (Ez. 38: 10 – 12)
The Attack.
`the Day of the Lord….. like the morning clouds spread over the mountains, a people come, great and strong, the like of whom has never been; nor will there ever be any such after them, even for many successive generations.` (Joel 2: 1 & 2)
Over the mountains of the Golan heights come a wave of Russian war planes. They destroy everything in their path.
`A fire devours before them, and behind them a flame burns; the land is like the Garden of Eden before them, and behind them a desolate wilderness; surely nothing shall escape them….. before them the people writhe in pain; all faces are drained of color.` (Joel 2: 3 & 6)
Then the ground invasion begins, going methodically throughout the towns killing all.
`They run like mighty men, they climb the wall like men of war; everyone marches in formation, and they do not break rank….they run to and fro in the city, they run on the wall; they climb into houses, they enter the windows like a thief. ` (Joel 2: 7 & 9)
