New Heart, New Spirit_35Ezekiel 39:1-29The LORD's Deliverance of Israel from the Evil Prince Gog: A Picture of God Protecting His People. The description of the defeat in Ezekiel chapter 38 focuses on the army, but in 39:1-8, the focus is on the leader of the army, Prince Gog of Magog. In the KJV, verse 2 gives the impression that one sixth of the invading army will be spared and sent home humiliated. However, the verse is stating that it is God who brings Prince Gog into the land and allows him to try to attack the people of Israel.Ever since God created human life, He has longed for His righteousness and holiness to sweep across the earth. But from the first man Adam all the way to us, we have all polluted and defiled the earth. We have rebelled against God and committed all kinds of wicked behavior. Despite God's demand that we live holy lives, we have continued to pollute the earth with our wicked and irresponsible behavior.Nevertheless, God's demand for holiness stands and will never be changed.The judgment feast is a clear picture of retribution, the just punishment that all the wicked of the earth will receive. Sin has very serious consequences. If we walk through life disobeying God's holy commandments and committing sin after sin, we will suffer the penalty and punishment of sin. When God destroys Gog's wicked alliance, He will vividly demonstrate His holiness and hatred of sin. Everyone will know that God's holy nature stands opposed to wickedness. During the end time of human history, God will demonstrate His holy nature time and time again.Ezekiel says that God said I will pour my Spirit upon the house of Israel. God will do a spiritual work in Israel.
