Ezekiel 38 & 39 Message 1 Nations Who Persecuted the Jews

Published on Apr 10, 2017 In this video Dr Woodhead discusses the various nations who persecuted the nation Israel. The Times of the Gentiles are also discussed. The biblical text as stated in Ezekiel 38:1-39:16 describe an invasion of Israel from the north and the subsequent total destruction of the coalition of invading forces once they reach the area of the mountains of Israel. It appears that there is a preemptive attack by the Israelites with a nuclear weapons exchange that results in a seven-year clean-up period.

Question: “Why did the sacrificial system require a blood sacrifice?”

Answer: The whole of the Old Testament, every book, points toward the Great Sacrifice that was to come—that of Jesus’ sacrificial giving of His own life on our behalf.

Observe, then, we must take our sorrows to God. Even your little sorrows you may roll upon God, for He counteth the hairs of your head; and your great sorrows you may …

This is the divine Lord, the merciful Jesus who is meek and lowly in heart. Yet, this was a rare moment…He was indeed angry. What could have upset Him so much?
