Gog and Magog — The Final Battle of Ezekiel 38 & 39 Explained
What exactly is the war of Gog and Magog? Is it Russia, an Islamic coalition, or something deeper?
In this episode of Escaping Babylon, Pastor Jason walks through Ezekiel 38–39 and Revelation 20 in a way that makes sense of one of the most debated prophecies in the Bible. You’ll discover:
Why Gog isn’t a nation but a leader of a vast coalition
The meaning of “living in unwalled villages”
How the premillennial and amillennial timelines differ
What it means that Satan is bound — and yet still prowling
How the Bible reveals cycles and patterns of rebellion and restoration
Why this prophecy ends not in fear, but in worship and hope “The cycle of sin and rebellion ends here. Evil won’t rise again.”
Featuring insights from Daniel Block, Tremper Longman III, Michael Heiser, John Stott, and Joel Richardson, this teaching traces how God’s ultimate victory unfolds—and how we can live faithfully while we wait.
Key Scriptures: Ezekiel 38–39 | Revelation 19–20 | 1 Peter 5:8 | Matthew 12:29 | Revelation 22:17
Chart Discussed: Premillennial vs Amillennial timeline of Gog and Magog
Reflection Question: When the final cycle ends, will you be found with the Lamb—or with the horde of Gog?
