The Bible Predicts a Nuclear Attack on Israel
Of all the prophecies in the Bible, bar none, the one prediction I believe is the most amazing, the most chilling, the most foretelling of all, is Ezekiel chapter 39. Most people are fascinated and a little obsessive of chapter 38, however my obsession is chapter 39. Because in that chapter, we’re told about a clean up. That’s right, a clean up operation after a battle. But this clean up is like nothing else.
This clean up describes professionals who are hired to do specialized work. Now, I used the word ‘nuclear’ in the title, and while I personally believe that is true, it is plausible that it could be either a chemical or biological attack. However, according to the Scriptures, the nuclear option feels like the best fit for the scenario described.
8 Behold, it is come, and it is done, saith the Lord GOD; this is the day whereof I have spoken. 9 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: 10 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.
11 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 Hamongog. 12 And seven months shall the house of Israel be burying of them, that they may cleanse the land. 13 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.14 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. 15 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 Hamongog. 16 And also the name of the city shall be Hamonah. Thus shall they cleanse the land. – Ezekiel 39:8-16 KJV
What an incredible passage. I get excited every time I read this! Why? For one simple reason; how did Ezekiel know? How did he know the modern procedures for cleaning a site contaminated with either nuclear, chemical or biological weapons? How could he have known? I’ll tell you how. Because there is a God in heaven who has sworn to protect Israel against anything and everything that man could throw against her.
So after the war, the first thing we notice is that for the next seven years, nothing is needed to use to create energy. Nothing. Could Israel be able to use unspent nuclear material to make electricity? Could this last 7 years? That is exactly what the Bible says. Remember, we’re reading something that Ezekiel was being told. He had no idea what these words and paragraphs meant, but as a loyal prophet of the LORD, he recorded it as best he could.
How This Clean Up Takes Place
- They Must Wait Seven Months Before Beginning: The very first thing we see is that Israel must wait seven months before the clean up can begin. This is very common especially for nuclear waste clean up. At first, the land is considered too ‘hot’ to enter, but over time, radiation decays, and then it becomes safe to enter. While they’re waiting apparently the stench of the area causes travelers to avoid even getting close to the area. “after the end of seven months shall they search.” (v. 14). Meanwhile the stench is driving travelers away. “and it shall stop the noses of the passengers:” (v. 11).
- Israeli Tax Money Is Used To Pay Professionals: The Scripture says that all of Israel will bury the dead. However this cannot be literally true because the passage says that professional are hired to bury the dead. I believe this is talking about taxpayer monies are used in order to pay for the clean up. This is how all of Israel buries the dead. “Yea, all the people of the land shall bury them” (v. 13). “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,” (v. 14).
- The People and the Waste is Buried Downwind of Israel: The Scripture tells us there will be a place where the people of Gog will be buried along with the waste material of the battle, east of the sea. Obviously this isn’t the Mediterranean Sea, because east of the sea is Israel. But the Dead Sea is east of the nation of Israel, and due to prevailing winds that come off of the Mediterranean Sea, this places the waste downwind of Israel. ” 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:” (v. 11)
- The clean up itself takes 7 months: It is very important to understand that this passage talks about two separate periods of 7 months. First they have to wait 7 months to begin and then the cleanup itself takes another 7 months. “And seven months shall the house of Israel be burying of them, that they may cleanse the land.” (v. 12)
- If something is found later on, they are not to touch it. Instead, they place a marker close by, and the professionals return to clean up what was found: This is absolutely amazing! In Ezekiel’s day, what could he have possibly dreamed up that would only be handled by professionals? Yes, they did have strict regulations on handling a dead body, but those rules only applied to the temple priests. But Ezekiel clearly says that if a bone is found they place a marker for the professionals to return and bury it. “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 Hamongog” (v. 15)
The Similarity of Modern Clean Up Techniques
There are several things written in Ezekiel that parallels modern techniques for clean up an area deemed to be hazardous. First of a waiting period is crucial to a modern nuclear clean up. The framework described in the text aligns surprisingly well with the fundamental principles of Incident Command and Hazardous Material (HAZMAT) operations.
How Ezekiel managed to figure this out over 2,500 years ago can only mean one thing: This had to be some type of divine revelation from a being that was not bound by the laws of time and space. That being saw what was going on in the future, and relayed that information to Ezekiel. This is too much exact knowledge to be coincidental, and there were no religious ceremonies at that time similar to what Ezekiel described.
What Does The Future Hold?
Sometime in the near future, and with what we’ve been seeing lately in the news, this could be next year, next month, next week, or tomorrow. Iran will gather up with several of its allies, and they will plan an attack. Their goals will be simple: Use some sort of weapon of mass destruction to attack Israel, something that will throw the entire nation into chaos. While Israel tries to fight back they will be ready to overwhelm the country with people and resources, with the goal of wiping out the entire Jewish population.
Little do they know or realize that God, the REAL God, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob will fight for Israel. One of the scariest things I’ve ever read in the Bible is this verse: “And it shall come to pass at the same time when Gog shall come against the land of Israel, saith the Lord GOD, that my fury shall come up in my face.” – Ezekiel 38:18 KJV
What a horrifying thought! Imagine the Lord GOD staring at you with fury in his face! That will be the attitude of the God whom the world hates. That will be day that everyone, Jew, Christian, and Muslim alike finds out who is the REAL God of heaven. When Gog’s troops are swiped away from the face of the earth by God’s own fury.
Hatred Blinds Islam
It is time for nicety to pass away. We have no more time to be ‘nice’. Muslims who want to eliminate the nation of Israel are fighting the God of heaven and it’s time someone pointed out the obvious. I’d rather be hated by Muslims by trying to save Muslims than applauded by Muslims while they go to hell.
Since 1948, the surrounding Arab nations have tried time, and time, and time, again to eliminate Israel. Every single time, without exception, Israel went away victorious and her enemies went home, as we’d say in Kentucky, with their tails between their legs. How many times?
- 1948, The War of Independence.
- 1956, the Sinai War.
- 1967, the Six-Day War.
- 1973, the Yom Kippur War.
- 1982, the First Lebanon War.
- 2006, The Second Lebanon War.
- 2023, The Israel-Hamas War.
How many more wars need to be won by Israel before someone gets a clue? This doesn’t even include the smaller Operations and Conflicts, Border Skirmishes, etc.
Behold, the days come, saith the LORD,
that the plowman shall overtake the reaper,
and the treader of grapes him that soweth seed;
and the mountains shall drop sweet wine,
and all the hills shall melt.
14 And I will bring again the captivity of my people of Israel,
and they shall build the waste cities, and inhabit them;
and they shall plant vineyards, and drink the wine thereof;
they shall also make gardens, and eat the fruit of them.
15 And I will plant them upon their land,
and they shall no more be pulled up out of their land which I have given them,
saith the LORD thy God. – Amos 9:13-15 KJV
Read this passage, then read it again. Then, think of the nation of Israel right now. Despite war, despite every single nation in the world turning their backs on them, they are prosperous. They’re not hurting from all these embargoes placed on them by various nations of the world. Right now, Israel produces more food than they can eat, more natural gas than they can use. Just like the Bible predicted, Israel has turned into a garden of Eden, while the nations surrounding them experience drought.
All over the world, Jews are finding out they were never really welcome in the nations they call home, and they are moving out going to their true spiritual home. And just as the Bible predicted, God himself is on their side and no one, not even a conglomeration of Arab nations is going to be able to kick them out.
The Bible is coming exactly true, just as predicted. I honestly don’t know how any rational person can take a look at this mountain of evidence and come up with any other conclusion. I’m not trying to degrade anyone, I’m trying to get their attention. No other God exists except for one. And his word never became corrupted, because he watches over his word to perform it. I’ll be as nice as I can, but if your religion tells you that your God couldn’t keep his word from becoming corrupted, then maybe your god isn’t really god after all.
Think about that for a minute. I believe the Bible is the inerrant word of God. I believe this because the Bible says that he watches over his word. Now if a religion is saying that the Bible has become corrupted, and that’s why it was necessary for another prophet to come along and change what the Bible says, then shouldn’t your first thought be how can an omnipotent God be powerless to stop his word from being corrupted?
The Bible’s prophecies are being fulfilled one by one. Just the other day, the prophecy in Jeremiah was fulfilled. Last September, Zechariah 12:2-3 came to pass. We are literally watching Bible prophecy come true in word-for-word fulfillment. And all we’re missing is you. That’s right: The Bible has a very curious prophecy in it. Pay close attention:
For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in. – Romans 11:25 KJV
That’s right: God is looking for a number. Once that number is reached, God says, “That’s enough. Go bring our family home.” Because the Bible predicts that it’s during the tribulation that Jews turn their hearts back to God. You could be the one we’re waiting for! You could literally be that final number that causes God to say, “enough.”
I am asking you, begging you not to ignore this invitation. Let God into your heart. You don’t need a church, or an altar, or even a long winded ‘repeat after me’ prayer. You can be saved right here, right now: Getting saved is one of the easiest things you can do. You make a quality decision to be a follower of Christ: You make a confession, take a leap of faith and you’re done. If you’re ready to believe in a real God who loves you more than you will ever know, then say the following prayer out loud:
Heavenly Father, I confess Jesus is Lord. I believe that he died for my sins, and rose from the dead on the third day, according to Scripture. Come into my life.
If you prayed that prayer and meant it, you are truly born again. You’ll never worry about where you’ll spend eternity again. And if some negative person, or negative thoughts try to make you doubt, keep this Scripture below in mind. This is your receipt if you will, your proof-of-purchase, that God has redeemed you into the kingdom of His Dear Son.
“If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved. 11 For the Scripture says, “Everyone who believes in him will not be put to shame.” – Romans 10:9-11 ESV
