The Battle of Gog And Magog: Israel's Affinity With The Antichrist!

When the invading armies move across Israel's borders "to take a spoil," what will the rest of the world do to stop the slaughter? According to Ezekiel chapter 38:13, they will not even lift a finger beyond shouting empty words. Here is how the prophet describes it- "Sheba, and Dedan, and the merchants of Tarshish, with all the young lions thereof, (representing the new nations) shall say unto thee, art thou come to take the spoil? Hast thou assembled thy company to take the prey? To carry away silver and gold, to take away cattle and goods, to take great spoil? No doubt, this spirited outcry will be heard in the debating section of the United Nations General Assembly without effect. But Israel will have one ally- no less than the antichrist! According to Daniel 11, the assault against Israel will be launched by Egypt, known biblically as the "King of the South," against the Antichrist. Let us look at those scriptures in Daniel now- "and the King (Antichrist) shall do according to his will; and He shall exalt Himself, and magnify Himself above every god, and shall speak marvelous things against the god of gods; and he shall prosper till the indignation be accomplished; for that which is determined shall be done. Neither shall he regard the gods of his Fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any god; for He shall magnify himself above all. "And at the time of the end shall the King of the South contend with Him; and the King of the North shall come against Him like a whirlwind, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships; and He shall enter into the countries, and shall overflow and pass through. He shall enter also into the glorious land (Israel), and many [countries] shall be overthrown; but these shall be delivered out of his hand: Edom, and Moab, and the chief of the children of Ammon (Jordan). He shall stretch forth his hand also upon the countries; and the land of Egypt shall not escape. But he shall have power over the treasures of gold and of silver, and over all the precious things of Egypt; and the Libyans and the Ethiopians shall be at his steps." Waxing in the euphoria of his victory against these nations, the Antichrist close affinity with the Jews will not last. At the end, He breaks the covenant with the Jews and demands worship from them. Their refusal will lead the Antichrist to oppress and seek to destroy the Jews once and for all.
