Israel returns then what.
As we have seen in previous articles, Israel goes into captivity, then the Father and King David rescue the Israelites from the many countries and islands where they have been driven. 

MIC 2 V 13

The breaker is come up before them: they have broken up, and have passed through the gate, and are gone out by it: and their king shall pass before them, and the LORD on the head of them. 

Psa 14:7  Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! when the LORD bringeth back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad. 

They have been held captive for 2-3 years. 

HOS 6 V 2

After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight.

The rebels are purged out

Eze 20:38  And I will purge out from among you the rebels, and them that transgress against me: I will bring them forth out of the country where they sojourn, and they shall not enter into the land of Israel: and ye shall know that I am the LORD. 

On their way back to Jerusalem they plunder many nations, the nations who held Israel captive, will become slaves to the nation of Israel.

ISA 14 V 2

And the people shall take them, and bring them to their place: and the house of Israel shall possess them in the land of the LORD for servants and handmaids: and they shall take them captives, whose captives they were; and they shall rule over their oppressors. 
 

THEN THE BATTLE IN THE VALLEY OF
JEHOSHAPHAT

This is the destruction of the arab league which was responsible for Israel going into captivity

Joe 3:1  For, behold, in those days, and in that time, when I shall bring again the captivity of Judah and Jerusalem, 
Joe 3:2  I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted my land. 

Joe 3:3  And they have cast lots for my people; and have given a boy for an harlot, and sold a girl for wine, that they might drink. 
Joe 3:4  Yea, and what have ye to do with me, O Tyre, and Zidon, and all the coasts of Palestine? will ye render me a recompence? and if ye recompense me, swiftly and speedily will I return your recompence upon your own head; 
Joe 3:5  Because ye have taken my silver and my gold, and have carried into your temples my goodly pleasant things: 
Joe 3:6  The children also of Judah and the children of Jerusalem have ye sold unto the Grecians, that ye might remove them far from their border. 
Joe 3:7  Behold, I will raise them out of the place whither ye have sold them, and will return your recompence upon your own head: 
Joe 3:8  And I will sell your sons and your daughters into the hand of the children of Judah, and they shall sell them to the Sabeans, to a people far off: for the LORD hath spoken it. 
Joe 3:9  Proclaim ye this among the Gentiles; Prepare war, wake up the mighty men, let all the men of war draw near; let them come up: 
Joe 3:10  Beat your plowshares into swords, and your pruninghooks into spears: let the weak say, I am strong. 

Notice the might ones of God are summoned for this battle.

Joe 3:11  Assemble yourselves, and come, all ye heathen, and gather yourselves together round about: thither cause thy mighty ones to come down, O LORD. 

Notice that the nations which are summoned are the Arabs round about Jerusalem

Joe 3:12  Let the heathen be wakened, and come up to the valley of Jehoshaphat: for there will I sit to judge all the heathen round about. 
Joe 3:13  Put ye in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe: come, get you down; for the press is full, the fats overflow; for their wickedness is great. 
Joe 3:14  Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: for the day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision. 

REPENTANT ISRAEL BUILD THE TEMPLE

The temple will be built 

ZEC 1:16  Therefore thus saith the LORD; I am returned to Jerusalem with mercies: my house shall be built in it, saith the LORD of hosts, and a line shall be stretched forth upon Jerusalem. 

Once God is happy with their attitude they are given the plans of the temple.  They build the temple 

EZEK 43 V 10-11

Thou son of man, shew the house to the house of Israel, that they may be ashamed of their iniquities: and let them measure the pattern. 
And if they be ashamed of all that they have done, shew them the form of the house, and the fashion thereof, and the goings out thereof, and the comings in thereof, and all the forms thereof, and all the ordinances thereof, and all the forms thereof, and all the laws thereof: and write it in their sight, that they may keep the whole form thereof, and all the ordinances thereof, and do them. 

The temple is built under the direct supervision of the Father, and  king David 

ZEC 6:15  And they that are far off shall come and build in the temple of the LORD, and ye shall know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me unto you. And this shall come to pass, if ye will diligently obey the voice of the LORD your God. 

PSA 78 V 69 –71

And he built his sanctuary like high palaces, like the earth which he hath established for ever. 
He chose David also his servant, and took him from the sheepfolds: 
From following the ewes great with young he brought him to feed Jacob his people, and Israel his inheritance.

Whilst the above verses are primarily talking about Israel, in the time of King David;  this verse is dual and refers to the future temple, and the future return from captivity. 

Once the temple is built, the Father enters it. 

EZEK 44 V 2
Then said the LORD unto me; This gate shall be shut, it shall not be opened, and no man shall enter in by it; because the LORD, the God of Israel, hath entered in by it, therefore it shall be shut. 

THE DECEPTION OF THE LITTLE HORN

The Father and David then return to heaven, the church and some Israelites weaken, and fall into the deception of the little horn. 

EZEK 8 V 6
He said furthermore unto me, Son of man, seest thou what they do? even the great abominations that the house of Israel committeth here, that I should go far off from my sanctuary? but turn thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater abominations. 

Dan 7:20  And of the ten horns that were in his head, and of the other which came up, and before whom three fell; even of that horn that had eyes, and a mouth that spake very great things, whose look was more stout than his fellows. 
Dan 7:21  I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them; 
Dan 7:22  Until the Ancient of days came, and judgment was given to the saints of the most High; and the time came that the saints possessed the kingdom. 

Dan 7:24  And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings. 
Dan 7:25  And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time. 

The following scripture shows how the deceived church members treat the genuine members

Mat 24:48  But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; 
Mat 24:49  And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken; 
Mat 24:50  The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of, 
Mat 24:51  And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. 

Over 6 years from the time of the daily sacrifice till the cleansing of the temple.

Dan 8:13  Then I heard one saint speaking, and another saint said unto that certain saint which spake, How long shall be the vision concerning the daily sacrifice, and the transgression of desolation, to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trodden under foot? 
Dan 8:14  And he said unto me, Unto two thousand and three hundred days; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed. 

These scriptures show the little horn  is the son of perdition

2Th 2:3  Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; 
2Th 2:4  Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. 

Then  the gentiles ask where is your God 

PSA 79 V 10 
Wherefore should the heathen say, Where is their God? let him be known among the heathen in our sight by the revenging of the blood of thy servants which is shed. 

The church  calls a fast, God hears them and makes sure they are well fed during the day of the Lord. 

JOE 2:15  Blow the trumpet in Zion, sanctify a fast, call a solemn assembly: 
JOE 2:16  Gather the people, sanctify the congregation, assemble the elders, gather the children, and those that suck the breasts: let the bridegroom go forth of his chamber, and the bride out of her closet. 
JOE 2:17  Let the priests, the ministers of the LORD, weep between the porch and the altar, and let them say, Spare thy people, O LORD, and give not thine heritage to reproach, that the heathen should rule over them: wherefore should they say among the people, Where is their God?
JOE 2:18  Then will the LORD be jealous for his land, and pity his people. 
JOE 2:19  Yea, the LORD will answer and say unto his people, Behold, I will send you corn, and wine, and oil, and ye shall be satisfied therewith: and I will no more make you a reproach among the heathen: 
JOE 2:20  But I will remove far off from you the northern army, and will drive him into a land barren and desolate, with his face toward the east sea, and his hinder part toward the utmost sea, and his stink shall come up, and his ill savour shall come up, because he hath done great things. 
JOE 2:21  Fear not, O land; be glad and rejoice: for the LORD will do great things. 
JOE 2:22  Be not afraid, ye beasts of the field: for the pastures of the wilderness do spring, for the tree beareth her fruit, the fig tree and the vine do yield their strength. 
JOE 2:23  Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and rejoice in the LORD your God: for he hath given you the former rain moderately, and he will cause to come down for you the rain, the former rain, and the latter rain in the first month. 
JOE 2:24  And the floors shall be full of wheat, and the fats shall overflow with wine and oil. 
JOE 2:25  And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpiller, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you. 
JOE 2:26  And ye shall eat in plenty, and be satisfied, and praise the name of the LORD your God, that hath dealt wondrously with you: and my people shall never be ashamed. 
JOE 2:27  And ye shall know that I am in the midst of Israel, and that I am the LORD your God, and none else: and my people shall never be ashamed. 
JOE 2:28  And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions: 
JOE 2:29  And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit. 
JOE 2:30  And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke. 
JOE 2:31  The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the LORD come. 
JOE 2:32  And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the LORD hath said, and in the remnant whom the LORD shall call. 

The following scripture shows the people want the Father to return.  This proves He has been here rescuing Israel and overseeing the temple construction. 

PSA 80 V 14 
Return, we beseech thee, O God of hosts: look down from heaven, and behold, and visit this vine; 

Once the Father leaves the church members to look after the temple, it isn’t long before deceit and rebellion raise their ugly heads. The church becomes divided, and some are practicing abominations in the temple. 

EZEK 8 V 14
Then he brought me to the door of the gate of the LORD'S house which was toward the north; and, behold, there sat women weeping for Tammuz

Then we see that the little horn has intelligence with them that forsake the holy covenant. 

DAN  11 V 30
For the ships of Chittim shall come against him: therefore he shall be grieved, and return, and have indignation against the holy covenant: so shall he do; he shall even return, and have intelligence with them that forsake the holy covenant. 

The people think that because the Father has returned to heaven that He cannot see what is going on. 

EZE 8:12  Then said he unto me, Son of man, hast thou seen what the ancients of the house of Israel do in the dark, every man in the chambers of his imagery? for they say, The LORD seeth us not; the LORD hath forsaken the earth. 

The heathen defile the temple. 

PSA 79 V 1
A Psalm of Asaph. O God, the heathen are come into thine inheritance; thy holy temple have they defiled; they have laid Jerusalem on heaps. 

Unfortunately Israel and the church have the temple for only a little while

Isa 63:18  The people of thy holiness have possessed it but a little while: our adversaries have trodden down thy sanctuary. 

When the abomination of desolation is set up the Israelites are told to flee to the mountains.  Remember on their return from captivity, they are placed in the Jerusalem area.  There are approximately 14 million Israelites in the area, Some have repented of their wrong ways and have their hearts turned to God. Many evil ones amongst the Israelites have been purged out and raised their heads by this time.  Those who flee to Achor sigh for the abominations in Jerusalem. 

Whilst they are in the Jerusalem are they are fed by  Tyre which is Babylon.  Their money from whoredom with the nations of the world, will go to feed and clothe Israel. 

This could well be the reason some of the church memebers are deceived by the King of Tyre.  He appears to care for Israel, feeding and clothing them.  Remember he is driven by satan and appears to be something that he simply is not.

Isa 23:17  And it shall come to pass after the end of seventy years, that the LORD will visit Tyre, and she shall turn to her hire, and shall commit fornication with all the kingdoms of the world upon the face of the earth. 
Isa 23:18  And her merchandise and her hire shall be holiness to the LORD: it shall not be treasured nor laid up; for her merchandise shall be for them that dwell before the LORD, to eat sufficiently, and for durable clothing. 

THE ABOMINATION IS SET UP

The Father sees the church elders in the temple looking to the east

Eze 11:1  Moreover the spirit lifted me up, and brought me unto the east gate of the LORD'S house, which looketh eastward: and behold at the door of the gate five and twenty men; among whom I saw Jaazaniah the son of Azur, and Pelatiah the son of Benaiah, princes of the people. 

The man with the ink horn starts to slay the people at the church with the men mentioned above who are sun worshippers. 

When the abomination is set up God the Father authorizes the slaying of those who do not sigh over the abominations in Jerusalem and marks out those He wants spared.

Eze 9:1  He cried also in mine ears with a loud voice, saying, Cause them that have charge over the city to draw near, even every man with his destroying weapon in his hand. 
Eze 9:2  And, behold, six men came from the way of the higher gate, which lieth toward the north, and every man a slaughter weapon in his hand; and one man among them was clothed with linen, with a writer's inkhorn by his side: and they went in, and stood beside the brasen altar. 
Eze 9:3  And the glory of the God of Israel was gone up from the cherub, whereupon he was, to the threshold of the house. And he called to the man clothed with linen, which had the writer's inkhorn by his side; 
Eze 9:4  And the LORD said unto him, Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry for all the abominations that be done in the midst thereof. 
Eze 9:5  And to the others he said in mine hearing, Go ye after him through the city, and smite: let not your eye spare, neither have ye pity: 
Eze 9:6  Slay utterly old and young, both maids, and little children, and women: but come not near any man upon whom is the mark; and begin at my sanctuary. Then they began at the ancient men which were before the house. 
Eze 9:7  And he said unto them, Defile the house, and fill the courts with the slain: go ye forth. And they went forth, and slew in the city. 
Eze 9:8  And it came to pass, while they were slaying them, and I was left, that I fell upon my face, and cried, and said, Ah Lord GOD! wilt thou destroy all the residue of Israel in thy pouring out of thy fury upon Jerusalem? 
Eze 9:9  Then said he unto me, The iniquity of the house of Israel and Judah is exceeding great, and the land is full of blood, and the city full of perverseness: for they say, The LORD hath forsaken the earth, and the LORD seeth not. 
Eze 9:10  And as for me also, mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity, but I will recompense their way upon their head. 
Eze 9:11  And, behold, the man clothed with linen, which had the inkhorn by his side, reported the matter, saying, I have done as thou hast commanded me. 

The Father then lands on the Mount of Olives and it splits in two to make a way of escape for the Israelites.

Zec 14:4  And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south

After this slaying the genuine people will flee to Achor
there are two signs for this,
1. Abomination set up
2. Jerusalem surrounded by Armies

MAT 24:15  When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:) 

MAT 24:16  Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains

Luk 21:20  And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh. 

Repentant Israel flee to the valley of Achor 

ISA 65:9  And I will bring forth a seed out of Jacob, and out of Judah an inheritor of my mountains: and mine elect shall inherit it, and my servants shall dwell there. 
ISA 65:10  And Sharon shall be a fold of flocks, and the valley of Achor a place for the herds to lie down in, for my people that have sought me. 

HOS 2:15  And I will give her her vineyards from thence, and the valley of Achor for a door of hope: and she shall sing there, as in the days of her youth, and as in the day when she came up out of the land of Egypt. 

Once again the Father marries Israel, He was married to them, but He had to divorce them because of their whoredoms, and total disobedience to Him.  Now they have a change of mind 

HOS 2:16  And it shall be at that day, saith the LORD, that thou shalt call me Ishi; and shalt call me no more Baali. 

HOS 2:18  And in that day will I make a covenant for them with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of heaven, and with the creeping things of the ground: and I will break the bow and the sword and the battle out of the earth, and will make them to lie down safely. 
HOS 2:19  And I will betroth thee unto me for ever; yea, I will betroth thee unto me in righteousness, and in judgment, and in lovingkindness, and in mercies. 
HOS 2:20  I will even betroth thee unto me in faithfulness: and thou shalt know the LORD. 
HOS 2:21  And it shall come to pass in that day, I will hear, saith the LORD, I will hear the heavens, and they shall hear the earth; 
HOS 2:22  And the earth shall hear the corn, and the wine, and the oil; and they shall hear Jezreel. 

ISA 54:5  For thy Maker is thine husband; the LORD of hosts is his name; and thy Redeemer the Holy One of Israel; The God of the whole earth shall he be called. 
ISA 54:6  For the LORD hath called thee as a woman forsaken and grieved in spirit, and a wife of youth, when thou wast refused, saith thy God. 
ISA 54:7  For a small moment have I forsaken thee; but with great mercies will I gather thee. 
ISA 54:8  In a little wrath I hid my face from thee for a moment; but with everlasting kindness will I have mercy on thee, saith the LORD thy Redeemer. 

JER 31:33  But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people. 

JER 31:34  And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more. 
 

Repentant Israel is protected in the valley of Achor for 3 ½ years. 

REV 12:14  And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent. 

Repentant Israel is the woman described in the following verse. 

REV 12:1  And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars: 

Notice the description of Israel in these verses. The sun and moon are  Jacob and Rachel, the eleven stars are the tribes of Israel {Joseph being the 12th} 

GEN 37:9  And he dreamed yet another dream, and told it his brethren, and said, Behold, I have dreamed a dream more; and, behold, the sun and the moon and the eleven stars made obeisance to me. 

GEN 37:10  And he told it to his father, and to his brethren: and his father rebuked him, and said unto him, What is this dream that thou hast dreamed? Shall I and thy mother and thy brethren indeed come to bow down ourselves to thee to the earth? 

We have shown very clearly that the woman is  repentant Israel….. not the church, which is about to be martyred by the dragon and others, see  Rev 12 v 7 

When Israel flees then the serpent tries to destroy them. 

REV 12:15  And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood. 

This flood is the  army of Babylon 
 

When this army tries to attack Israel, the earth helps Israel and the earth devours them. 

REV 12:16  And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth. 

The dragon then turns his anger on Gods end time church, notice the remnant have the testimony of Christ. 

REV 12:17  And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony  of Jesus Christ. 

The church suffers great martyrdom at this time. 

PSA 79 V 2-3

The dead bodies of thy servants have they given to be meat unto the fowls of the heaven, the flesh of thy saints unto the beasts of the earth. 
Their blood have they shed like water round about Jerusalem; and there was none to bury them. 

Back to repentant Israel and what happens to them. During the time they are in the Valley of Achor. 

Later nations try to come against Israel to destroy them, notice the following 

EZE 38:1  And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

The following nations Magog, Meshech and Tubal, are descendants of Japeth and would be Asiatics. 

EZE 38:2  Son of man, set thy face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him, 
EZE 38:3  And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal: 
EZE 38:4  And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws, and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armour, even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords: 
EZE 38:5  Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all of them with shield and helmet: 

Gomer and Togarmah are also descendants of Japeth and would be Asiatics. 

EZE 38:6  Gomer, and all his bands; the house of Togarmah of the north quarters, and all his bands: and many people with thee. 
 

EZE 38:7  Be thou prepared, and prepare for thyself, thou, and all thy company that are assembled unto thee, and be thou a guard unto them. 
EZE 38:8  After many days thou shalt be visited: in the latter years thou shalt come into the land that is brought back from the sword, and is gathered out of many people, against the mountains of Israel, which have been always waste: but it is brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell safely all of them. 
EZE 38:9  Thou shalt ascend and come like a storm, thou shalt be like a cloud to cover the land, thou, and all thy bands, and many people with thee. 
EZE 38:10  Thus saith the Lord GOD; It shall also come to pass, that at the same time shall things come into thy mind, and thou shalt think an evil thought: 

Notice the description of Israel dwelling safely in the Valley of Achor 
The Israelites have confidence that God will protect them in the Valley. 

EZE 38:11  And thou shalt say, I will go up to the land of unwalled villages; I will go to them that are at rest, that dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates, 

The Israelites are living very well in the Valley of Achor, with cattle and goods. 

EZE 38:12  To take a spoil, and to take a prey; to turn thine hand upon the desolate places that are now inhabited, and upon the people that are gathered out of the nations, which have gotten cattle and goods, that dwell in the midst of the land. 

These nations, Sheba and Dedan, are descendants of Cush, and therefore are black nations,  with their young men, ask the Asiatics if they are going to plunder Israel. 

Tarshish is descendant of Japeth and therefore is Asiatic. 

EZE 38:13  Sheba, and Dedan, and the merchants of Tarshish, with all the young lions thereof, shall say unto thee, Art thou come to take a spoil? hast thou gathered thy company to take a prey? to carry away silver and gold, to take away cattle and goods, to take a great spoil?

They do not know that God will protect His people. 

EZE 38:14  Therefore, son of man, prophesy and say unto Gog, Thus saith the Lord GOD; In that day when my people of Israel dwelleth safely, shalt thou not know it? 
EZE 38:15  And thou shalt come from thy place out of the north parts, thou, and many people with thee, all of them riding upon horses, a great company, and a mighty army: 

God allows this to happen so that the heathen will come to know God. 

EZE 38:16  And thou shalt come up against my people of Israel, as a cloud to cover the land; it shall be in the latter days, and I will bring thee against my land, that the heathen may know me, when I shall be sanctified in thee, O Gog, before their eyes. 

The prophets told of this invasion years ago. 

EZE 38:17  Thus saith the Lord GOD; Art thou he of whom I have spoken in old time by my servants the prophets of Israel, which prophesied in those days many years that I would bring thee against them? 

God will make the earth shake in that day, and the people of the earth will shake at the presence of the Almighty. 

EZE 38:18  And it shall come to pass at the same time when Gog shall come against the land of Israel, saith the Lord GOD, that my fury shall come up in my face. 

All the mountains will be made low 

EZE 38:19  For in my jealousy and in the fire of my wrath have I spoken, Surely in that day there shall be a great shaking in the land of Israel;
EZE 38:20  So that the fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the heaven, and the beasts of the field, and all creeping things that creep upon the earth, and all the men that are upon the face of the earth, shall shake at my presence, and the mountains shall be thrown down, and the steep places shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground. 

Fire and brimstone will fall on them. 

EZE 38:21  And I will call for a sword against him throughout all my mountains, saith the Lord GOD: every man's sword shall be against his brother. 
EZE 38:22  And I will plead against him with pestilence and with blood; and I will rain upon him, and upon his bands, and upon the many people that are with him, an overflowing rain, and great hailstones, fire, and brimstone. 
EZE 38:23  Thus will I magnify myself, and sanctify myself; and I will be known in the eyes of many nations, and they shall know that I am the LORD. 

When Gog and Meshech and Tubal  etc. come up against Israel God  kills 5/6 of the men. 

EZE 39:1Therefore, thou son of man, prophesy against Gog, and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal: 
EZE 39:2  And I will turn thee back, and leave but the sixth part of thee, and will cause thee to come up from the north parts, and will bring thee upon the mountains of Israel: 
EZE 39:3  And I will smite thy bow out of thy left hand, and will cause thine arrows to fall out of thy right hand. 

The beasts and the birds will eat their bodies. 

EZE 39:4  Thou shalt fall upon the mountains of Israel, thou, and all thy bands, and the people that is with thee: I will give thee unto the ravenous birds of every sort, and to the beasts of the field to be devoured. 
EZE 39:5  Thou shalt fall upon the open field: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord GOD. 

Magog is Asiatic and they live in Islands.  The heathen will know that God is the Holy One in Israel. 

EZE 39:6  And I will send a fire on Magog, and among them that dwell carelessly in the isles: and they shall know that I am the LORD. 
EZE 39:7  So will I make my holy name known in the midst of my people Israel; and I will not let them pollute my holy name any more: and the heathen shall know that I am the LORD, the Holy One in Israel. 
EZE 39:8  Behold, it is come, and it is done, saith the Lord GOD; this is the day whereof I have spoken. 

Israel will burn the weapons of the Asiatics for 7 years. 

EZE 39:9  And they that dwell in the cities of Israel shall go forth, and shall set on fire and burn the weapons, both the shields and the bucklers, the bows and the arrows, and the handstaves, and the spears, and they shall burn them with fire seven years: 

Israel now get even with the invading Asiatics 

EZE 39:10  So that they shall take no wood out of the field, neither cut down any out of the forests; for they shall burn the weapons with fire: and they shall spoil those that spoiled them, and rob those that robbed them, saith the Lord GOD. 
EZE 39:11  And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will give unto Gog a place there of graves in Israel, the valley of the passengers on the east of the sea: and it shall stop the noses of the passengers: and there shall they bury Gog and all his multitude: and they shall call it The valley of Hamongog. 

It takes Israel 7 months to bury the dead of the Asiatics, 5/6 of the army have perished. 

EZE 39:12  And seven months shall the house of Israel be burying of them, that they may cleanse the land. 
EZE 39:13  Yea, all the people of the land shall bury them; and it shall be to them a renown the day that I shall be glorified, saith the Lord GOD.

Even after the 7 months of burials is past, the Israelites are still searching for dead bodies to bury.  Men are doing this full time. 

EZE 39:14  And they shall sever out men of continual employment, passing through the land to bury with the passengers those that remain upon the face of the earth, to cleanse it: after the end of seven months shall they search. 

Any visitor to the land who sees a bone, must mark it for the burial patrol. 

EZE 39:15  And the passengers that pass through the land, when any seeth a man's bone, then shall he set up a sign by it, till the buriers have buried it in the valley of Hamongog. 
EZE 39:16  And also the name of the city shall be Hamonah. Thus shall they cleanse the land. 

God instructs the watchman to call in the beasts and the birds for the sacrifice. 

EZE 39:17  And, thou son of man, thus saith the Lord GOD; Speak unto every feathered fowl, and to every beast of the field, Assemble yourselves, and come; gather yourselves on every side to my sacrifice that I do sacrifice for you, even a great sacrifice upon the mountains of Israel, that ye may eat flesh, and drink blood. 
EZE 39:18  Ye shall eat the flesh of the mighty, and drink the blood of the princes of the earth, of rams, of lambs, and of goats, of bullocks, all of them fatlings of Bashan. 
EZE 39:19  And ye shall eat fat till ye be full, and drink blood till ye be drunken, of my sacrifice which I have sacrificed for you. 
EZE 39:20  Thus ye shall be filled at my table with horses and chariots, with mighty men, and with all men of war, saith the Lord GOD. 

God shows the heathen His judgment. 

EZE 39:21  And I will set my glory among the heathen, and all the heathen shall see my judgment that I have executed, and my hand that I have laid upon them. 
Eze 39:22  So the house of Israel shall know that I am the LORD their God from that day and forward. 
EZE 39:23  And the heathen shall know that the house of Israel went into captivity for their iniquity: because they trespassed against me, therefore hid I my face from them, and gave them into the hand of their enemies: so fell they all by the sword. 
EZE 39:24  According to their uncleanness and according to their transgressions have I done unto them, and hid my face from them. 
EZE 39:25  Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Now will I bring again the captivity of Jacob, and have mercy upon the whole house of Israel, and will be jealous for my holy name; 
EZE 39:26  After that they have borne their shame, and all their trespasses whereby they have trespassed against me, when they dwelt safely in their land, and none made them afraid. 
EZE 39:27  When I have brought them again from the people, and gathered them out of their enemies' lands, and am sanctified in them in the sight of many nations; 

Israel have been rescued from captivity, every one of them. 

EZE 39:28  Then shall they know that I am the LORD their God, which caused them to be led into captivity among the heathen: but I have gathered them unto their own land, and have left none of them any more there. 

As we have shown Israel are kept safe and well fed during the Day of the Lord in the Valley of Achor. 

When the Day of the Lord is over, Israel return to their homelands and continue faithfully toward God. 

The Father has given Israel the earnest of the Spirit. 

EZE 39:29  Neither will I hide my face any more from them: for I have poured out my spirit upon the house of Israel, saith the Lord GOD. 

Israel do not depart from the word of God. 

Notice also that there will be a physical Israel forever, during which time people will qualify to be born into the God family. 

ISA 59:20  And the Redeemer shall come to Zion, and unto them that turn from transgression in Jacob, saith the LORD. 
ISA 59:21  As for me, this is my covenant with them, saith the LORD; My spirit that is upon thee, and my words which I have put in thy mouth, shall not depart out of thy mouth, nor out of the mouth of thy seed, nor out of the mouth of thy seed's seed, saith the LORD, from henceforth and for ever. 

The Israelites buy land and settle in the old places of Israel 

JER 32:42  For thus saith the LORD; Like as I have brought all this great evil upon this people, so will I bring upon them all the good that I have promised them. 
JER 32:43  And fields shall be bought in this land, whereof ye say, It is desolate without man or beast; it is given into the hand of the Chaldeans. 
JER 32:44  Men shall buy fields for money, and subscribe evidences, and seal them, and take witnesses in the land of Benjamin, and in the places about Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, and in the cities of the mountains, and in the cities of the valley, and in the cities of the south: for I will cause their captivity to return, saith the LORD. 

Israel will suffer greatly during the time of Jacobs trouble, only 14 million surviving this terrible time, however they repent and turn to God forever and God the Father marries them in the Valley of Achor.  They then return to their original homelands. 
Gods church is protected during the time of Jacobs trouble, but is martyred prior to and during the Day of the Lord.  Persecution for them begins before the Day of the Lord. 

What a wonderful time is ahead for Israel.  After Jacobs trouble and the captivity they marry God the Father.......can  mere man describe the joy that will bring.
