09/25/20 THE GREATNESS OF OUR GOD #16 — Ezekiel 38:23 (CSB) says, “I will Display My GREATNESS and HOLINESS, and will Reveal Myself in the sight of many nations. THEN THEY WILL KNOW THAT I AM THE LORD.”

Ezekiel 38:18-23 describe God’s defeat of “Gog,” who is almost certainly the Antichrist. After repeated failed attempts of the assembled armies from the north to annihilate Israel with, God’s patience is exhausted. He sends a monstrous earthquake which panics the enemy soldiers, plus pestilence, heavy rain, hailstones, fire and brimstone. Totally confused, they turn on each other and destroy themselves. These descriptions match those in Revelation chapters 6, 11, 16 and 19.

 More than70 times in the book of Ezekiel, God declares that after He has displayed His GREATNESS, Holiness, and Power, inflicting punishment on any rebellious, disobedient people or nation, “THEN THEY WILL KNOW THAT I AM THE LORD.” It sure seems as if God thinks it is of UTMOST IMPORTANCE for people to KNOW that He exists, WHO He is and WHAT He is like! But let’s not wait for Him to discipline and punish folks; let’s tell them about Him NOW, before it’s too late!
