📖 Bible Prophecy: Are We Seeing Ezekiel 38–39?

• 🤔 Many are asking if this is Gog and Magog
  
  
• Steve: “Seems like Iran is prepping for an attack on horseback 🐎”
  
  
• Chris breaks it down:
  
  
  • Ezekiel 38–39 describes Israel being attacked ➡️ not attacking
    
    
  • Israel will be dwelling in peace ➡️ not under threat
    
    
  • Multiple nations involved ➡️ right now, it’s mostly Israel vs. Iran
    
    

⏳ It’s not the fulfillment—but it may be the staging ground.
