1. AND THIS SHALL BE THE PLAGUE WHEREWITH THE LORD WILL SMITE
ALL THE NATIONS WHO BESIEGED JERUSALEM,
his flesh will waste away while
he still stands on his feet;*
*This denotes the falling off
of the limbs.
his eyes will waste away in their sockets,
and his tongue shall waste away
in his mouth.*
*HE SHALL BE BROUGHT TO SILENCE.
And it will come to pass on that day that there will be
great consternation,
sent by the Lord upon them*
*TO CONFUSE THEIR WISDOM, TO BRING THEM ABOUT TO MADNESS.
each one shall seize the hand
of the other,
and his hand shall rise up against the hand of the other.
Zechariah 14:12-13
THOSE WHO PREPARE THEMSELVES AND PURIFY THEMSELVES TO THE GARDENS,
ONE AFTER ANOTHER IN THE MIDDLE,*
*To worship an idol.
THOSE WHO EAT THE FLESH
OF THE SWINE
and the detestable thing
and the rodent,
SHALL PERISH TOGETHER,
SAYS THE LORD.
Isaiah 66:17
This verse tells us who will be
the main components of
the forces of Gog and Magog.
These are the people who present themselves as being pure and
holy while in fact they are impure.
RaDaK states that "these are the Ishmaelites, who purify their bodies and perform frequent ablutions
yet are impure because of their evil,
filthy deeds.
They make a pretense of being pure but they are not.
RaDaK states that "those who eat the flesh of the swine" are "the NOTZRIM, the Christians, because the Ishmaelites do not eat the flesh of the swine.
THE VERSE SAYS THAT
"TOGETHER THEY SHALL PERISH"
I.E., "TOGETHER" THE NOTZRIM AND THE ISHMAELITES, WILL PERISH IN THE WAR OF GOG AND MAGOG.
These two empires hold sway in this world, both are considered
as one empire since neither one has sole power in the world.and
is the fourth empire in the visions
of Daniel.
AND I* - THEIR DEEDS AND THEIR THOUGHTS HAVE COME TO GATHER ALL THE NATIONS AND THE TONGUES,*
And I What am I to do? Their deeds and their thoughts have come to Me.
And that forces Me to gather all the heathens (nations) and to let them know that their deeds are vanity
and the thoughts they are thinking,
“For the sake of My Name, the Lord shall be glorified,”
LET THEM UNDERSTAND THAT IT IS FALSE!
AND WHERE IS THE GATHERING?
It is the gathering that Zechariah prophesied (14:2): “And I will gather all the nations to Jerusalem.”
AND THEY SHALL COME AND THEY SHALL SEE MY GLORY.*
Isaiah 66:18
*When I wage war with them with the plague of the following description (Zec 14: 12):
“Their flesh shall disintegrate… and their eyes… and their tongue.”
