Worship Preparation - March 2, 2025
Read the sermon text: Ezekiel 38-39
Read the sermon summary: In the last years, Gog’s hordes descend upon a peaceful-loving land, bent on terrorizing people from many nations that the LORD has gathered. The LORD will meet these armies to vindicate and sanctify his name so that Israel and the nations would know him in the last days. The battle would end up as a sacrifice to birds and animals on the mountains of Israel where the LORD will set his glory among the nations. What kind of literature is this? Perhaps more significantly, what does it mean for us? Those of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus are those who have been gathered by God’s Spirit, “dwelling in security.” Gog’s hordes from the “rear parts of the north” hound and dog us, but a day is coming when God will bring about the holiness of his name and our redemption.
