Ezekiel 38:5 Persia, Ethiopia and Put with them, all of them with shield and helmet…
Russia will be joined by several countries with their future invasion of Israel (Ezekiel 38-39). Chief among those countries is Persia. This is modern day Iran. The country was known as Persia until the name change in the 20th century. They are not arabs. They are Persians.

The Hebrew name for Persia is Parac. Per Strong’s Concordance, it is defined as the following: pure or splendid.
The empire Persia; encompassed the territory from India on the east to Egypt and Thrace on the west, and included, besides portions of Europe and Africa, the whole of western Asia between the Black Sea, the Caucasus, the Caspian and the Jaxartes on the north, the Arabian desert, the Persian Gulf and the Indian Ocean on the south.
Persia proper was bounded on the west by Susiana or Elam, on the north by Media, on the south by the Persian Gulf and on the east by Carmania.

Biblical Persia and Elam make up modern day Iran.

August 2017: This story is now being reported by multiple news agencies in Israel. A “Secret Research Facility” is being built in northern Syria near the Mediterranean Sea. Iran is believed to be building a missile factory in Syria. Israeli satellite intelligence has detected a building consistent with a long range missile factory. It appears the 150 billion Obama gave Iran is being used to begin building the missile factory. The 400 million given for the hostages appears to have went to arm Hezbollah with even more missiles to launch on Israel.

Breitbart Reports

As Algemeiner, citing Omri Ceren of the Israel Project, notes, the twelve-figure estimate of the money the deal would return to Iranian control came from President Barack Obama, not Republicans. President Obama said in an interview that Iran “has $150 billion parked outside the country,” arguing that not all of its funds under sanctions will be unfrozen immediately because “unwinding the existing restraints… takes a certain amount of time.”
This money does not include a separate $1.7 billion payment to the government of Iran, allegedly to atone for an arms sales agreement that never went through after the 1979 Islamic revolution. The U.S. government handed over that money the same day that Iran released several American citizens imprisoned on dubious charges.

Both President Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry, who played a major role in brokering the Iran nuclear deal, have admitted that the Iranian regime will likely use the money to fund terrorism, particularly activity by the Shiite terrorist organization Hezbollah.

August 15, 2017: For the first time since the 1979 Islamic Revolution in Iran, a government official visited Turkey. This is a significant development. Iran is of the Shia brand of Islam. Turkey is of the Sunni brand of Islam. The two countries have historically been adversaries.

General Mohammad Bagheri is the head of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard. He visited with military and political officials of Turkey. The focus of the meeting was Syria and the Kurds. The Kurd issue was considered to be “counter terrorism”.

Afterwords, General Bagheri had a meeting with Turkey’s Defense Minister Nurettin Canikli. This was followed by a private session with Turkey’s President Recep Erdogan.

This ancient Ezekiel 38-39 prophecy from 2,500 years ago appears to be trending into shape.

Conclusion
The Psalm 83 Prophecy
A prelude to, or, a part of, The Magog Invasion?

Psalm 83 is a prophecy which best fits into the 2 great wars of the End Time—Magog and Armageddon. These 2 wars (the first Magog, and the last Armageddon) are separated by at least 7 years. God’s direct defeat of the Magog-Islamic forces as they invade Israel ignites the global “nation against nation” (Mat. 24:9), essentially World War III—the whole process giving rise to the Antichrist and closing with Armageddon.

However, a scenario for Psalm 83 has been proposed in a number of books and on several websites that essentially goes like this:

1. The nations listed in Psalm 83 are not named among the nations in the Magog Invasion (Eze. 38:1-7). Therefore, they cannot be a part of that event, and must represent another event.

2. A prerequisite for the Magog Invasion is that Israel must be “living securely.” (Eze. 38:8) Since Israel is not dwelling in security today because of the Psalm 83 enemy nations which surround it, those nations must be removed as a barrier to Israel’s security before Magog can happen. Thus, Israel must defeat the Psalm 83 nations of Iran, Iraq, Syria, Jordan, Egypt, the Palestinians, Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood before the Magog-Islamic invasion of Israel can occur.

3. Therefore, Israel will attack and defeat the Psalm 83 nations.

4. In the process Israel will capture and establish secure boundaries for themselves over all of the Arab lands promised to Israel by God in Genesis 15:18-21. They will in effect regain the Promised Land.

5. As a result of this conquest of the entire Middle East, the Israeli Defense Forces become the “exceeding great army” of Ezekiel 37:10.

6. Finally, Israel will become the target of the Magog-Islamic forces, which will covet the vast Arab oil fields Israel acquired as war-spoil from its defeat of the Psalm 83 nations—and only then will the prophecy of Ezekiel 38-39 be fulfilled.
Will this Psalm 83 theory fit the scrutiny of Scripture? This special study will take a Biblical look.

Will Israel Secure Pre-millennial Millennial Borders ?

Pre-millennial Millennial Borders sounds like an oxymoron, and it is. But that is exactly what the Psalm 83 theory proposes.

The Psalm 83 theory proposes that once Israel has captured the territories of Lebanon, Jordan, Syria and the others listed in that passage, all the way over to Iraq, it is only then that the outer parameter of Ezekiel 38’s Magog-Persian led nations can come down upon Israel’s expanded territory.

The goal of these Russian-Islamic invaders is to “take a spoil.” (Eze. 38:12) Supposedly that is the oil fields spread throughout the Mideast but now, according to this scenario, under Israel’s control.
The instrument of this exceeding great conquest of the Mid East by Israel is the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF), identified as the “exceeding great army” which emerges out of the valley of dry bones in Ezekiel 37:10.
The Israeli Defense Forces are then internationally glorified as the world’s premier military force. And Israel gains a pre-millennial version of its divinely-deeded Millennial Kingdom land. It goes on to say that it is only then that Israel is in a truly secure state, and consequently it is only then that Ezekiel’s Magog invasion can occur.

The 2 Great Wars

Bible prophecy emphasizes the War of Gog & Magog and Armageddon, but mentions “nation against nation,” “kings of the north & south,” and other wars. Chronologically, Magog begins the End Time 7-year period, and Armageddon climaxes it. The Psalm 83 War link Magog and Armageddon into one long process—Magog gives rise to World War 3, including various Mideast wars, the Antichrist ascends to global power, & then heads to Armageddon.

Psalm 83 War leads to the Antichrist peace covenant that will entail seven years of peace and that Israel can tear down their walls. In fact this identifies the Antichrist who will then start the great tribulation during which the War of Gog & Magog happens and concludes with the final Battle of Armageddon.

There will be more on this in the coming days, stay tuned. Maranatha……….
