Gog & Magog – Looking for that Blessed Hope!

Generations of Adam – Addendum

October 5, 2025October 11, 2025 by atharris, posted in Gog & Magog, Israel, Prophecy, The Generations of Adam

There is an alternate view for the timeline that was published in the recent post: https://lookingforthatblessedhope.com/2025/10/01/generations-of-adam-revisited/. If you have stumbled on this post, it is highly recommended to read the previous post first.

The length of an age is a 2,000-year period. Previously we looked at the Church age beginning in 75 AD and ending in 2075 AD, according to the Essene calendar. One could argue the Church age started in 32 AD with the death and resurrection of Jesus. That would mean the 2,000-year period is fast approaching with just 7-8 years.

While that is possible, the previous timeline makes a better fit in the eyes of this author by the prophetic details that were laid out. However, the 2032 AD year does have some fascinating alignments with the previous timeline as we will see here.

It was mentioned that Apophis could be used during the G&M war with the Tribulation commencing just days after in April of 2029. Ten days prior to April 13^thof 2029 is Passover. If we take the date of Apophis Friday April 13, 2029, and add 3.5 years to the mid-point of the Tribulation, we arrive at October 13, 2032. Exactly 7 days prior on October 6^th or the 22^nd of Tishrei is Israel’s most holy day of Yom Kippur, a day of fasting, repentance, and atonement, when the high priest enters the Holy of Holies to offer sacrifices for Israel’s sins.

Just five days later October 18^th, 2032 is another Blood Moon seen in Jerusalem. Could it be the death of our Saviour in 32 AD marks the mid-point or beginning of the “Great Tribulation” in 2032 AD? The Great Tribulation or the last 3.5 years are when the worst of God’s judgements rain down onto earth and the remnant of Jewish people flee into the wilderness where God will sustain them unto the end.

And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days. And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night. And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death. Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time. And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child. 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. 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. 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. 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. Revelation 12:6-17

Add 3.5 years to October 13, 2032, and arrive at Sunday April 13^th, 2036, or the end of the Tribulation period. I have created a timeline for ease of visibility and included the new information for 2032 AD. Regardless of if this timeline is correct or not, one thing is certain, looking at the events in the world today, our time left here is very short.

One final thought, Psalms 90:10 says “The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away”. Fourscore = 80 years. Israel will be 80 May 14th, 2028. Will Israel be “cut off” and “we fly away”?

Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; Titus 2:13

Tudeh Party of Iran

June 15, 2025 by atharris, posted in Gog & Magog, Israel, Prophecy

By the grace of God, the Israeli Air Force and the Mossad single-handedly brought the Islamic regime of Iran to its knees!

In a stunning turn of events, Israel has seized air superiority over Iran’s capital, striking deep into the heart of Tehran and eliminating top nuclear scientists, IRGC generals, and strategic infrastructure. Within 72 hours, Iran’s regime is crumbling, its people are fleeing, and the world is witnessing what can only be described as a supernatural shift in the Middle East. This is not just a war—it’s biblical in scale. Amir Tsarfati

Most of the senior military leadership has been eliminated by the IAF in just 72 hours. Is this the end of the Islamic regime and the return of power to the people?

Maybe, maybe not. What we do know is from biblical prophecy, Iran will remain a stark enemy of Israel to the very end as one of the nations to attack in the coming Gog & Magog war (WWIII). Whomever remains or takes power will not be a friend to Israel.

Enter the Tudeh Party of Iran (TPI). Established in 1941 as Iran’s pro-Soviet communist party, much of the leadership remained in exile in Eastern Europe after the party was suppressed 60+ years ago. However, the TPI is very much alive and well today in Iran.

On June 15^th, TPI or Communist Party of Iran as some call it, called for a nationwide uprising to topple the Iranian regime. It is probably a long shot for them to take over the leadership, however, it is clear they are no friend of Israel or the West as noted on some of the articles on their website. TUDEH PARTY OF IRAN

The Israeli government’s terrorist attacks through the explosion of pagers and walkie-talkies in Lebanon in recent days, which have killed dozens of people and injured thousands of Lebanese people, have once again exposed the warmongering and criminal nature of the racist state of Israel and its imperialist supporters to the judgment of world public opinion.

Statement of the Central Committee of the Tudeh Party of Iran: The Tudeh Party of Iran Strongly Condemns the Criminal and Terrorist Attack by the Israeli Government on Iran! The criminal war government’s attack, led by Benjamin Netanyahu and reportedly with the knowledge of the Trump administration, violates all international laws and clearly demonstrates how silence and practical collaboration with a regime that has so far killed over 50,000 Palestinians, including 12,000 children in Gaza, and has now subjected millions of residents to famine and starvation through economic blockade, can have dire consequences for peace throughout the Middle East.

This escalation between Israel and Iran puts us one step closer to the Gog Magog war, however it is not imminent as some are noting. The scale of the G&M war is so large, it will take 7 months to cleanse the land and bury the dead and 7 years for the weapons of war to be burned. The shear magnitude of mobilization and logistics for the enemy cannot be done overnight. It will take months if not more than a year to put this coalition together, but it’s coming….

Behold, it is come, and it is done, saith the Lord GOD; this is the day whereof I have spoken. 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: 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.

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 Hamon–gog. And seven months shall the house of Israel be burying of them, that they may cleanse the land. 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. 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. 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 Hamon–gog. And also the name of the city shall be Hamonah. Thus shall they cleanse the land. eZEKIEL 39:8-16

The G&M coalition will try to stop Israel from their constant dominance in the region. There is yet much prophecy to be fulfilled to bring this response about in my opinion. Three of the main ones include the complete destruction of Damascus, Syria (Isaiah 17:1-14), the Prophecy against Elam (Iran) (Jer. 49:34-39), and Egypt destroyed because of their betrayal against Israel (Ez. 29:1-16). You are living in extraordinary biblical times!

October 7th mastermind Eliminated

October 17, 2024 by atharris, posted in Gog & Magog, Israel, Prophecy

Then said Jesus unto him, “Put up again thy sword into his place, for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword. Matthew 26:52

Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar eliminated incidentally by a mortar shell fired at 3 terrorists one of which happened to be Yahya. On the body, the IDF found fake passports and lots of cash money as he was about to run from Gaza on his last leg to cross into Egypt and disappear. A miracle indeed!

The current conflict with Israel is the catalyst that eventually will lead to the 3rd world war of Gog and Magog.

Putin, will he Last?

June 24, 2023 by atharris, posted in Damascus, Gog & Magog, Israel, Nuclear Iran and the Prophecy against Elam, Prophecy

I first posted on this in January of this year. If you have not already heard, Putin is in big trouble as a coup attempt is currently in progress led by Yevgeny Prigozhin, a warlord and former friend of Putin who is now in charge of a large Russian mercenary force called the Wagner group. The Wagner group is currently within reach of Moscow and many reports are stating the Russian soldiers loyal to Putin are defecting to the Wagner group. In desperation, Putin’s defense is currently destroying bridges and roads to prevent the Wagner group from entering Moscow. This is big news. Whomever survives this most likely will be part of the Ez. 38 coalition. It seems likely Putin may not survive this due to his close ties to Israel as stated in original post below. Perhaps Ez. 38 is still some time in the future yet since Israel is not yet secure (Ez. 38:11).

There are many reports that Vladmir Putin is sick and no longer able to lead the country. Typically, I would not post on something of this nature, but it may possibly be true. One can Google and see many articles will pop up.

If this story turns out to be true, it makes more sense from a Biblical Prophecy perspective. Vladmir Putin and Benjamin Netanyahu have always had a strong relationship and respect for one another. If another rises to power in Russia, we could first see the prophecy of Isaiah 17 and Jeremiah 49 fulfilled with the destruction of Damascus and Elam. You can search for those in this blog if you are not familiar with the prophecies.

Putin calls Netanyahu as Zelensky visits Washington

The two also discussed regional issues such as Iran’s attempt to entrench itself militarily in Syria, which borders Israel. During his previous term as prime minister, Netanyahu worked out a deconfliction agreement with Russia whose army operates in Syria, to allow Israel to conduct aerial attacks against Iranian targets and their proxies without tangling with Russian forces.

Netanyahu told Putin he “is determined to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons and to halt its attempts to establish a military base on our northern border.”

According to the Kremlin, the two men “expressed confidence that Russian-Israeli relations will continue to develop consistently through contacts at different levels.”

Warning to Iran: Joint US-Israel military exercise ‘most significant to date’

Juniper Oak 23 involves thousands of troops practicing land, sea, air, cyber and space drills in Israel in an implied warning to Iran.

With the Syrian/Iran threat removed from Damascus and the Iranian nuclear threat removed, it would perhaps then pave the road to the Gog Magog war of Ezekiel 38. For this war cannot happen until Israel meets the conditions below which is currently not the case.

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, Ez. 38:11

Regardless how this all pans out, time is literally running out. We are quickly moving towards the “Time of the End”. As the current Israeli administration is the most “far right” ever, we are bound to see something this year.

Ukraine or Israel

February 21, 2022 by atharris, posted in Damascus, Gog & Magog, Israel, Nuclear Iran and the Prophecy against Elam, Prophecy, Uncategorized

There certainly has been no shortage of “rumors of war” lately. China attacking Taiwan, North Korea against South, Iran against Israel, and the most pressing, Russia against the Ukraine. Will we now see the “wars”?

If you want to understand what is going on with Russia and the Ukraine, I highly encourage you to watch the video update below from Amir. Will this turn into an all out war between Russia and the western powers, maybe but it could also be the catalyst that brings in the many end time war prophecies that are yet to be fulfilled. I agree with Amir that Isaiah 17 must be fulfilled before the Ezekiel 38 war comes about. I would take that a step further and say maybe even the prophecy of Nuclear Iran and the Prophecy against Elam

The latest rounds of Iran nuclear deal should be wrapping up soon and will most certainly be more in their favor prompting a possible disaster on their Bushehr nuclear facility which is said to already house nuclear weapons. If that is destroyed, the next logical position of attack of retaliation by Iran would come from Damascus prompting the Isaiah 17 prophecy.

This may drag on for a while or may commence very quickly, but we must continue to watch, waiting patiently for our Lord.

Since the release of Amir’s video, the following has taken place:

President Vladimir Putin: I hereby recognize the sovereignty of the Donetsk and Luhansk republics.

Syria – the first country to recognize Donetsk and Luhansk

Iran’s supreme leader: This is the beginning of the post-American era

2022 will not be an uneventful year by any means both abroad and at home. Video posted below. The first is a quick review of America’s response to the Ukraine situation. The second is Amir’s update.

Sheba and Dedan

March 11, 2021 by atharris, posted in Gog & Magog, Israel, Prophecy

In the backdrop of the disastrous, toxic climate here in the United States, the prophecies of the Bible continue to unfold in the Middle East. Let us not forget it is Israel that is pushed to the forefront of the world for the end time era. One of the most horrific scenes will be the battle of Magog and Israel.

But before that happens, the Bible says that Israel will be dwelling safely; a thought incomprehensible today.

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, 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. Ez. 38:11-12

Recently there has been a string of peace treaties between Israel and other Arab countries like Bahrain and United Arab Emirates. I am sure more are to come, but the big one is quite possibly in the works and could be announced within a week. Regardless of the time frame, we know it will happen as Ezekiel tells us it will.

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? Ez. 38:13

As the Magog force advances on Israel, Sheba and Dedan will be an exception. Sheba and Dedan, the great-grandsons of Ham have historically been documented to reside in Saudi Arabia with that linage reaching into the other Arab countries previously mentioned.

There is an interesting article here that sheds light on a number of issues: Saudis Say Temple Mount and Al Aqsa Not Important to Islam. “In further departure from Palestinian narrative, Saudis recognize Jewish connection to the Temple Mount”

When have we ever seen this? Look carefully at the tail fins.

But to be truly at rest without walls and gates, Israel also needs to eliminate the threat to the North and immediate West of its borders. That would be Syria and specifically the oldest continuous city in history, Damascus. The current Iranian threat against Israel is coming primarily out of Damascus. We know the fate of Damascus.

The burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is taken away from being a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap. The cities of Aroer are forsaken: they shall be for flocks, which shall lie down, and none shall make them afraid. Isa. 17:1-2

This would temporarily put an end to the Iranian threat and any threat that Jordan (The cities of Aroer) may pose.

This is what this blog is all about since the very first post July 8th, 2014, almost 7 years ago – watching the world events take place leading up to the departure of the Church and the subsequent Tribulation period.

Watching – waiting – “Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; Titus 2:13

Who is Erdogan? Update!

June 24, 2018June 25, 2018 by atharris, posted in Gog & Magog, Middle East

Update from post dated August of 2014:

Erdogan proclaimed winner in Turkey presidential election

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan was returned to office with expanded powers, the country’s electoral board said Sunday, brushing aside opposition claims that the results were incomplete.

Sadi Guven, the head of the Supreme Election Council, said that 97.7 percent of votes in the presidential race had been counted and Erdogan had received an “absolute majority.”

The citizens of Turkey are well on there way to full dictatorship.

Look familiar? Erdogan just won the presidential election in Turkey. Who is this man and what will the future be for Turkey?

Erdogan, the former PM fo Turkey, has like other presidents promised “change” if elected and has promised to “try to govern the country from the presidential palace despite the fact that the constitution unequivocally empowers parliament and its selected prime minister as the center of executive power.” He has promised he will not be a ““traditional president”.

According to one report “Turkey is facing the prospect of being transformed from a one-party and one-man state to simply a one-man state under an Erdogan presidency. After winning the election with 51.8% of the vote he said:

“I greet you with all my heart on this historic day, a trophy night of democracy and the national will,” he said. “All of Turkey has won today.”

“Today we are closing an era and stepping into a new era,” he said

Erdogan’s current relations with the US and other countries are not healthy at this point. “……is an increasingly isolated country, and not just in the West, where antipathy for Erdogan has been rising steadily over the past few years because of his abrasive manners. This is also the case in the Middle East, where Ankara has few communication channels left with regional capitals and where polls show Erdogan’s popularity is waning. His past claims about Turkey’s rapidly rising regional clout and global influence are now a distant echo.” The last statement of global influence and regional clout may all be about to change.

Erdogan is Sunni Muslim and has constantly insulted Israel in their defense against Hamas calling them worse than Hitler and accusing them of committing genocide of the Palestinians. He has also refused to recognize Sisi as the legitimate ruler of Egypt since the Muslim Brotherhood was thrown out.

Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said Turkey will protect its stability and beef up its power at a moment when there are very important developments in the world and the region, in an effort to make peace and stability in the region permanent. Erdoğan’s statement came as the country’s Supreme Military Council (YAŞ) begun its semiannual work on Aug. 4 under Erdoğan’s leadership and with the participation of top military and civilian officials.

Is Erdogan the final ruler of Turkey? Will he be one of the leaders of Magog coalition led by Gog against Israel resulting in the Tribulation?

18″It will come about on that day, when Gog comes against the land of Israel,” declares the Lord GOD, “that My fury will mount up in My anger. Ez. 38:18
