The War of Gog And Magog: A Confederacy Against Israel!

It is clear from many books of the scriptures especially the Old Testament that, the war of Gog and Magog has been predicted by Prophets of old. One of such book of scripture was Psalm 83. This chapter speaks about the conspiracy against God's covenant people, the Jews, and his nation Israel. Verses 2 to 4 describe this evil plot- "for behold, your enemies make a tumult; and those who hate you have lifted up their head. They have taken crafty counsel against your people, and consulted together against your sheltered ones. They have said, "Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation, that the name of Israel may be remembered no more. For they have consulted together with one consent; they form a confederacy against you" This prophetic psalm was written by Asaph several thousand years ago, but has yet to be fulfilled to this day. Bible scholars tells us there is absolutely no evidence that such a massive regional conspiracy to destroy Israel ever occurred in ancient times. Though Israel's enemies will enjoy massive numerical superiority, the bible clearly tells us that by the power of God, tiny Israel "the apple of his eye" will utterly devastate the invading armies and her allies in this war, a war that historians of the day may likely call world war 3.
