  1. A.T. Pierson: There has never been a spiritual awakening in any country or locality that did not begin in united prayer—that is, earnest, concerted and sustained prayer.

  2. A.T. Pierson: There has never been a spiritual awakening in any country or locality that did not begin in united prayer—that is, earnest, concerted and sustained prayer.

  3. Matthew Henry: When God intends great mercy for His people, the first thing He does is set them a-praying.

  4. Ezekiel 36:8-11 – But the mountains of Israel will produce heavy crops of fruit for My people—for they will be coming home again soon! 9 See, I care about you, and I will pay attention to you. Your ground will be plowed and your crops planted. 10 I will greatly increase the population of Israel, and the ruined cities will be rebuilt and filled with people.

  5. 11 I will increase not only the people, but also your animals. O mountains of Israel, I will bring people to live on you once again. I will make you even more prosperous than you were before. Then you will know that I am the Lord.

  6. Ezekiel 36:24– For I will gather you up from all the nations and bring you home again to your land.

  7. Ezekiel 36:33-36– This is what the Sovereign Lord says: When I cleanse you from your sins, I will repopulate your cities, and the ruins will be rebuilt. 34 The fields that used to lie empty and desolate in plain view of everyone will again be farmed. 35 And when I bring you back, people will say, 'This former wasteland is now like the Garden of Eden! The abandoned and ruined cities now have strong walls and are filled with people!'

  8. 36 Then the surrounding nations that survive will know that I, the Lord, have rebuilt the ruins and replanted the wasteland. For I, the Lord, have spoken, and I will do what I say.

  9. Mark Twain:There was hardly a tree or shrub anywhere. Even the olive and the cactus, those fast friends of a worthless soul, had almost deserted the country (1887).

  12. Genesis 12:2-3 – I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse those who curse you.

  13. Ezekiel 37:1-14 – The Lord took hold of me, and I was carried away by the Spirit of the Lord to a valley filled with bones. 2 He led me all around among the bones that covered the valley floor. They were scattered everywhere across the ground and were completely dried out. 3 Then He asked me, "Son of man, can these bones become living people again?""O Sovereign Lord," I replied, "You alone know the answer to that."

  14. 4 Then He said to me, "Speak a prophetic message to these bones and say, 'Dry bones, listen to the word of the Lord!5 This is what the Sovereign Lord says: Look! I am going to put breath into you and make you live again! 6 I will put flesh and muscles on you and cover you with skin. I will put breath into you, and you will come to life. Then you will know that I am the Lord.'"7 So I spoke this message, just as He told me. Suddenly as I spoke, there was a rattling noise all across the valley.

  15. The bones of each body came together and attached themselves as complete skeletons. 8 Then as I watched, muscles and flesh formed over the bones. Then skin formed to cover their bodies, but they still had no breath in them.

  16. 10 So I spoke the message as He commanded me, and breath came into their bodies. They all came to life and stood up on their feet—a great army. 11 Then He said to me, "Son of man, these bones represent the people of Israel. They are saying, 'We have become old, dry bones—all hope is gone. Our nation is finished.'

  17. 12 Therefore, prophesy to them and say, 'This is what the Sovereign Lord says: O My people, I will open your graves of exile and cause you to rise again. Then I will bring you back to the land of Israel. 13 When this happens, O My people, you will know that I am the Lord. 14 I will put My Spirit in you, and you will live again and return home to your own land. Then you will know that I, the Lord, have spoken, and I have done what I said. Yes, the Lord has spoken!’

  18. Facts About Modern Day Israel • Israel is smaller than the state of New Jersey with a population of about 5 million. • They have the 3rd most powerful air force on earth. • Only the USA and Russia have more tanks. • Military analysts consider Israel the 4th most powerful army on earth behind the USA, Russia &China.

  19. Man-for-man, they are probably the best and most effective army on earth. • Israel has nuclear capability and has for some time. • A mighty army indeed that has literally risen from the ashes!

  20. Ezekiel 38:1-9– This is another message that came to me from the Lord: 2 "Son of man, turn and face Gog of the land of Magog, the prince who rules over the nations of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him. 3 Give him this message from the Sovereign Lord: Gog, I am your enemy! 4 I will turn you around and put hooks in your jaws to lead you out with your whole army—your horses and charioteers in full armor and a great horde armed with shields and swords.

  21. 5 Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya will join you, too, with all their weapons. 6 Gomer and all its armies will also join you, along with the armies of Beth-togarmah from the distant north, and many others. 7 "Get ready; be prepared! Keep all the armies around you mobilized, and take command of them.

  22. 8 A long time from now you will be called into action. In the distant future you will swoop down on the land of Israel, which will be enjoying peace after recovering from war and after its people have returned from many lands to the mountains of Israel. 9 You and all your allies—a vast and awesome army—will roll down on them like a storm and cover the land like a cloud.

  23. Gog – a king or a world ruler over several nations • Magog, Meshech and Tubal – These were nomadic tribes in what is today Russia. • Persia– Iran • Ethiopia – modern day Sudan • Libya – Present day Libya, Algeria, Tunisia & Morocco. • Gomer – present day Turkey • Beth-togarmah – tribes in northern Russia

  24. Several Observations • Israel is surrounded. • Russia is now selling military hardware to Libya, Iran, and Sudan. • Iran – Push Israel into the Sea. . . • Russia is helping build Iran’s nuclear capability • Georgia – Russia’s path to Israel

  25. Psalm 83:1-8 – O God, do not be silent! Do not be deaf. Do not be quiet, O God. 2 Don't You hear the uproar of Your enemies? Don't You see that Your arrogant enemies are rising up? 3 They devise crafty schemes against Your people; they conspire against Your precious ones. 4 "Come," they say, "let us wipe out Israel as a nation. We will destroy the very memory of its existence."

  26. 5 Yes, this was their unanimous decision. They signed a treaty as allies against You—6 these Edomites and Ishmaelites; Moabites and Hagrites;7 Gebalites, Ammonites, and Amalekites; and people from Philistia and Tyre. 8 Assyria has joined them, too, and is allied with the descendants of Lot.

  27. Confederation of Psalm 83 States • Edom = Palestinians & Southern Jordan • Ishmaelites = Saudi’s • Moab = Palestinians & Central Jordan • Hagrites = Egyptians • Gebal = Hezbollah & Northern Lebanon • Ammon = Palestinians & Northern Jordan • Amalek = Arabs of Sinai Peninsula • Philistia = Hamas & Gaza Palestinians • Tyre = Hezbollah & Southern Lebanon • Assyria = Syrians & Northern Iraq

  28. Ezekiel 38:14-16 – 14 Therefore, son of man, prophesy against Gog. Give him this message from the Sovereign Lord: When My people are living in peace in their land, then you will rouse yourself. 15 You will come from your homeland in the distant north with your vast cavalry and your mighty army,

  29. 16 and you will attack My people Israel, covering their land like a cloud. At that time in the distant future, I will bring you against My land as everyone watches, and My holiness will be displayed by what happens to you, Gog. Then all the nations will know that I am the Lord.

  30. Ezekiel 38:19-20 – In My jealousy and blazing anger, I promise a mighty shaking in the land of Israel on that day. 20 All living things—the fish in the sea, the birds of the sky, the animals of the field, the small animals that scurry along the ground, and all the people on earth—will quake in terror at My presence. Mountains will be thrown down; cliffs will crumble; walls will fall to the earth.

  31. 21 I will summon the sword against you on all the hills of Israel, says the Sovereign Lord. Your men will turn their swords against each other. 22 I will punish you and your armies with disease and bloodshed; I will send torrential rain, hailstones, fire, and burning sulfur! 23 In this way, I will show My greatness and holiness, and I will make Myself known to all the nations of the world. Then they will know that I am the Lord.
