Examination of Gog & Magog, Ezekiel 38/39, Part 2 of 2 :: By Ron Ferguson

CHAPTERS 38 AND 39

We have been examining the invasion of Gog and Magog in the land of Israel. In PART 1 we looked at who this Gog is, the timing of the invasion, the loss of life in Revelation, and the weakened state of the world before this war that will happen in Israel. The timing was crucial, and it has to be immediately before the Second Coming of Christ, who will destroy Gog at His coming. The account continues.

GOG AND MAGOG SUMMONED

As I said, there are three groups in Israel to exterminate it. This is where they will come from – Revelation 16:12 [“The sixth angel poured out his bowl… Rev 16:13 I saw coming out of the mouth of the dragon and out of the mouth of the beast and out of the mouth of the false prophet, three unclean spirits like frogs, Rev 16:14 for they are spirits of demons, performing signs, which go out to the kings of the whole world, to gather them together for the war of the great day of God, the Almighty.”]

Every army is represented, but we know in three groups; however, the TIMING is what we have been thinking of. They come from all over the world for the great day of God. That day is the Second Coming when ALL the armies in Israel will be expunged by the coming Judge of all the earth. It is just a thought that these three unclean spirits may each gather the three army groups that will be going to Israel.

Therefore, the Gog/Magog confederacy of Ezekiel 38 enters Israel near the end of the Tribulation and will be destroyed along with all the nations’ armies at the Second Coming by the One with a sword, on a white horse. The armies of Antichrist and the False Prophet are in the Jezreel Valley. The armies of the Gog confederacy are on the mountains of Israel and in the Kidron Valley and attacking Jerusalem. The kings of the east have entered Israel from the east.

Before we look at some of the passages from Ezekiel 38 and 39, Zechariah speaks of this Gog army but does not name it. Here is Zechariah:

Zech 12:2 [“Behold, I am going to make Jerusalem a cup that causes reeling to all the peoples around, and when the siege is against Jerusalem, it will also be against Judah. Zech 12:3 And it will come about in that day that I will make Jerusalem a heavy stone for all the peoples. All who lift it will be severely injured, and all the nations of the earth will be gathered against it. Zech 12:4 In that day,’ declares the LORD, ‘I will strike every horse with bewilderment, and his rider with madness, but I will watch over the house of Judah, while I strike every horse of the peoples with blindness.”]

(That is the confirmation that all the world’s nations sent armies to conquer Israel after being drawn by the evil frog spirits. God will deliver His people, but they will go through harrowing times.)

Zechariah 12:9 [“And it will come about in that day that I will set about to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem. Zech 12:10 And I will pour out on the house of David and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the Spirit of grace and of supplication, so that they will look on Me whom they have pierced; and they will mourn for Him, as one mourns for an only son, and they will weep bitterly over Him, like the bitter weeping over a first-born.”] (God destroys all those armies, though it does say “nations” when He comes in the great battle of Revelation 19 when His feet stand on the Mount of Olives that will split in two. DO NOT MISS the pouring out of the Holy Spirit on the redeemed of Israel. This is an insult to God for those who say the Gog armies come to attack Israel after they are regathered and redeemed and settled securely.)

Zechariah 14:2 [“For I will gather all the nations against Jerusalem to battle, and the city will be captured, the houses plundered, the women ravished, and half of the city exiled, but the rest of the people will not be cut off from the city. Zech 14:3 Then the LORD will go forth and fight against those nations, as when He fights on a day of battle. Zech 14:4 And in that day His feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, which is in front of Jerusalem on the east; and the Mount of Olives will be split in its middle from east to west by a very large valley, so that half of the mountain will move toward the north and the other half toward the south.”] (Jerusalem will be rescued at the 11th hour, just in the nick of time like Esther and Mordecai. How reassuring it is to know the Lord always defends His own, now and in the future.)

SOME EXTRA COMMENTS ON CHAPTERS 38 AND 39

[1]. The Composition of the Armies with Gog/Magog: There is a great tendency to transliterate words into something we understand. It is said by a huge number of commentators that Rosh is Russia; Meshech is Moscow; Tubal is Turkey, Gomer is Germany, or eastern Germany (38 v 2-3; 6).

Some of the material I have read traces the origins of these places from Genesis after the flood account and even before the flood. I do not discount that, but caution must be exercised with names and locations.

Other places are mentioned, and these are definite – “Persia, Ethiopia, and Put”; that is Iran, Ethiopia and Libya (v 5). Ezekiel 38:6 “Gomer with all its troops; Beth-togarmah from the remote parts of the north with all its troops — many peoples with you.” The remote parts of the north do extend right up into Russia and much of the former USSR. There is high Islamic makeup of most of these nations to the north of Israel. The term “remote parts of the north” was used by Jeremiah several times to describe Babylon, 6:22. [“Thus says the LORD, ‘Behold, a people is coming from the north land, and a great nation will be aroused from the remote parts of the earth.'”] However, Ezekiel seems to mean the really remote north. Russia is working to extend its influence into the Middle East, especially with Assad of Syria where a base is being established.

[2]. The Sphere of Activity. The Gog army and allies are clearly said by Ezekiel to be on the mountains of Israel. They are widespread, described this way – Ezekiel 38:9 [“You will go up, you will come like a storm. You will be like a cloud covering the land, you and all your troops, and many peoples with you.” Ezek. 38:16 “and you will come up against My people Israel like a cloud to cover the land.”] It is this Gog army that moves through the Kidron Valley and besieges Jerusalem as declared by Zechariah.

[3]. Who Brings Them into The Land? The answer is twofold. The first one is that it will be the satanic delusion that gathered them as we have in Rev 16:13. [“I saw coming out of the mouth of the dragon and out of the mouth of the beast and out of the mouth of the false prophet, three unclean spirits like frogs, Rev 16:14 for they are spirits of demons, performing signs, which go out to the kings of the whole world, to gather them together for the war of the great day of God, the Almighty.”] The frog demons summoned them – Ezek 38:8 [“After many days you will be summoned. In the latter years you will come into the land….” Ezekiel 38:10 “Thus says the Lord GOD, ‘It will come about on that day that thoughts will come into your mind, and you will devise an evil plan.'”] (demonically inspired).

The second answer is that God brought them into Israel. Ezekiel 39:2 [“and I shall turn you around, drive you on, take you up from the remotest parts of the north, and bring you against the mountains of Israel,”] and Ezek 38:16 [“and you will come up against My people Israel like a cloud to cover the land. It will come about in the last days (end of the age which ends with the Second Coming) that I shall bring you against My land, in order that the nations may know Me when I shall be sanctified through you before their eyes, O Gog.”] Now, I know there seems almost a contradiction there that Gog is drawn from two opposing sides into the land, but that is not a problem with God.

[4]. The Start of The Retribution. The Gog armies are in Israel, on the mountains, and invading Jerusalem, but just before the great judgment of God falls on them with the appearing of the Lord of glory, this happens – Ezekiel 38:18-20 [“It will come about on that day, when Gog comes against the land of Israel,’ declares the Lord GOD, ‘that My fury will mount up in My anger, and in My zeal and in My blazing wrath I declare that on that day there will surely be a great earthquake in the land of Israel. The fish of the sea, the birds of the heavens, the beasts of the field, all the creeping things that creep on the earth, and all the men who are on the face of the earth will shake at My presence. The mountains also will be thrown down, the steep pathways will collapse, and every wall will fall to the ground.”]

When Jesus comes in Revelation 19, He will deal with all these armies (those from all over the world who have gathered in Israel, not just Gog), but this earthquake corresponds with the one in Revelation 16, the last of all the judgments poured out in the 7 years of Tribulation – Rev 16:17 [“The seventh angel poured out his bowl upon the air, and a loud voice came out of the temple from the throne, saying, ‘It is done,’ Rev 16:18 and there were flashes of lightning and sounds and peals of thunder; and there was a great earthquake such as there had not been since man came to be upon the earth, so great an earthquake was it, and so mighty, Rev 16:19 The great city was split into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell. Babylon the great was remembered before God, to give her the cup of the wine of His fierce wrath.”]

[5]. The Full Judgment Against Gog And His Allies. Any who dare lift up the hand against God and Israel will endure the full wrath of God. Gog will know it to the fullest extent. Here are the passages that will apply to how God deals with this horrible amalgamation of evil people who thinks it can overthrow the eternal purposes of God:

Ezekiel 38:21-22 [“and I shall call for a sword against him on all My mountains,’ declares the Lord GOD. ‘Every man’s sword will be against his brother. With pestilence and with blood I shall enter into judgment with him, and I shall rain on him and on his troops, and on the many peoples who are with him, a torrential rain with hailstones, fire, and brimstone.”]

Ezekiel 39:3-4 [“and I shall strike your bow from your left hand, and dash down your arrows from your right hand. You shall fall on the mountains of Israel, you and all your troops, and the peoples who are with you. I shall give you as food to every kind of predatory bird and beast of the field.”]

Ezekiel 39:17-20 [“As for you, son of man, thus says the Lord GOD, ‘Speak to every kind of bird and to every beast of the field. Assemble and come, gather from every side to My sacrifice which I am going to sacrifice for you, as a great sacrifice on the mountains of Israel, that you may eat flesh and drink blood. You shall eat the flesh of mighty men, and drink the blood of the princes of the earth, as though they were rams, lambs, goats, and bulls, all of them fatlings of Bashan. You will eat fat until you are glutted, and drink blood until you are drunk, from My sacrifice which I have sacrificed for you, and you will be glutted at My table with horses and charioteers, with mighty men and all the men of war,’ declares the Lord GOD.”]

Revelation 19:17-18 [“I saw an angel standing in the sun, and he cried out with a loud voice, saying to all the birds which fly in mid-heaven, ‘Come, assemble for the great supper of God, in order that you may eat the flesh of kings and the flesh of commanders and the flesh of mighty men and the flesh of horses and of those who sit on them and the flesh of all men, both free men and slaves, and small and great.'”]

Zechariah 14:12-13 [“Now this will be the plague with which the LORD will strike all the peoples who have gone to war against Jerusalem; their flesh will rot while they stand on their feet, and their eyes will rot in their sockets, and their tongue will rot in their mouth. And it will come about in that day that a great panic from the LORD will fall on them; and they will seize one another’s hand, and the hand of one will be lifted against the hand of another.”]

[6]. The End of This Section: This whole account is part of the study on “The Restoration of Israel.” In chapter 39, after the defeat of Gog’s combined forces, the Lord then sets about with the restoration of His people in the land of Israel that we have been considering through all the Major Prophets. At the Second Coming in Revelation 19, the Lord returns and then gathers His Jewish saints, settles them in the land, and nevermore will they know war or harm or fear; this is consistent with all the passages we have studied.

Ezekiel 39:25 [“Therefore thus says the Lord GOD, ‘Now I shall restore the fortunes of Jacob, and have mercy on the whole house of Israel; and I shall be jealous for My holy name, Ezek 39:26 They shall forget their disgrace and all their treachery which they perpetrated against Me, when they live securely on their own land with no one to make them afraid. Ezek 39:27 When I bring them back from the peoples and gather them from the lands of their enemies, then I shall be sanctified through them in the sight of the many nations. Ezek 39:28 Then they will know that I am the LORD their God because I made them go into exile among the nations, and then gathered them again to their own land; and I will leave none of them there any longer. Ezek 39:29 I will not hide My face from them any longer, for I shall have poured out My Spirit on the house of Israel,’ declares the Lord GOD.”]

GOG AND MAGOG OF THE DISTANT FUTURE

There is one passage we need to mention: this one – Revelation 20:7 [“When the thousand years are completed, Satan will be released from his prison, Rev 20:8 and will come out to deceive the nations which are in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together for the war. The number of them is like the sand of the seashore. Rev 20:9 They came up on the broad plain of the earth and surrounded the camp of the saints and the beloved city, and fire came down from heaven and devoured them. Rev 20:10 And the devil who deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and brimstone where the beast and the false prophet are also, and they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.”]

Here we read of Satan’s final assault on God and His people. After the 1,000 years of Millennial rule by the King over the whole earth has ceased, we are on the edge of the eternal state, but one more thing has to happen. Satan is released from his confinement for one last endeavor. His hatred and malevolent attitude have grown worse while contained in the abyss, and he comes out determined to overthrow God. It says in verse 8 that he comes out to deceive the nations over the entire earth, to gather them together for war against the saints and Jerusalem, and it is said their number is as the sand on the seashore. This account of Gog and Magog has nothing to do with the ones 1,000 years earlier in Ezekiel. This here means a great horde of them.

Well, the question is asked, from where do these people come, seeing as they lived under the rule of the King of Kings for centuries in millennial bliss? (Remember, this Isaiah verse relates to the Millennium – Isaiah 65:20 [“No longer will there be in it an infant who lives but a few days, or an old man who does not live out his days; for the youth will die at the age of one hundred, and the one who does not reach the age of one hundred shall be thought accursed.”)].

The point is that at the start of the 1,000-year reign, the righteous enter the Kingdom, but sin and the old nature are still present. People are born throughout, and the deceitfulness of sin and the old nature will ensure many will not follow the King reigning in Jerusalem as time progresses. They pay lip service, but their hearts are far away. It will be easy for Satan to round them up, these malcontents who are not as one with their God. We have to say these are from the Gentile nations, not Israel.

In verse 9, God disposes of them very quickly, and in verse 10, Satan becomes the third being to enter the lake of fire.

Timeless Beauty of the Godly :: By Candy Austin

There is just something beautiful about a godly person, especially an elderly one. On the flip side, there is something unbearable about an ungodly person, especially an elderly one as well. Reason being, we tend to look up to those who are older than us, one, for being a type of influence, and two, for being a kind of example of how we may or may not become. There is a ‘timeless quality of wisdom’ about an elderly person of God that is enjoyable to be around.

1 Timothy 6:6-7 “But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.”

First, let me expound on my time spent with some elderly people at a nursing home a few years ago. Granted, some of these people had issues with cognitive decline and were just ‘biding time’ by living in an unwanted place as a shell of who they once were. Some would hold stuffed animals or baby dolls while being pushed around in their wheelchairs. The dolls seemed to give them some sort of purpose or comfort by feeding and taking care of ‘somebody else’ other than themselves.

Early each morning, the nursing attendants would proceed to enter into each room to first check on vitals and then to help the residents get dressed for the day. Watching them do this made me wonder if there will come a day when I will have to have somebody help me get dressed and tie or fasten my shoes too? But I digress.

There was one elderly lady who, while being dressed, would constantly spell out the word ‘tub’ by saying, T-U-B… T-U-B… in a slow, drawn-out, ‘southern drawl’ kind of way, but nobody knew what she was trying to say. In my mind, I imagined that she might have wanted to take a bath, but unfortunately, there seemed to be no bathtubs in the rooms or at this nursing home facility.

Depending on what room you entered into, there would be a positive interaction or a negative one. For example, in this one room, there was an elderly woman who was, unfortunately, filled with nothing but rage. Whether she soiled herself on purpose or not wasn’t clear, but the fact that she would fight and curse at the attendants while they tried to clean her up made for a very uncomfortable and unpleasant time! There was absolutely no joy in this woman’s face, and no matter how much the nursing attendants tried to cheer her up, it would not work! Not to mention, the room smelled horrible, so it was hard to spend more than a few minutes at a time in there!

This is an example of what ungodliness does to a person; it makes them unbearable to be around. Not only that, the filthiness of their sin stinks to high heaven, and their demeanor will not be consoled or changed no matter how much you try to help or please them.

Then, there was a room with a tall, elderly man who loved to tell jokes even while he was being attended to and changed. Still, during an awkward moment like that, he made everyone in the room laugh or smile at the kindness and joy that he radiated. Dispositions like these made you want to linger in the room a few minutes longer because it just helped to ‘make the day.’

That is what godliness does to a person; it makes them pleasant to be around. Their joy crowds out any discomfort, and their attitude makes you want to linger around just a little bit longer. A demeanor like that makes life more pleasant, even if it is just for a few moments.

Proverbs 17:22 “A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones.”

Those among my favorite elderly people were some ‘Great Aunts’ in our lives. One of them was ‘who we will call for this writing,’ my Great Aunt Love. She worked as a Florist in her town and was such a cheery, thoughtful, and kind lady. I remember visiting her house one day, which was impressively decorated in an elegant and classical kind of way.

On that visit, she welcomed us into her kitchen by giving us something to drink and snack on. Aunt Love would ‘fawn and dote’ over my sister and me by telling us how ‘beautiful, smart, and grown-up’ we were becoming! Driving away from Aunt Love’s house that day left me feeling really special. Even though we only got to see her a handful of times growing up, she always left that impression on my heart. I will never forget my Great Aunt Love.

Then there was my husband Doug’s Great Aunt, who, for this piece, we will call Aunt Goodness. She was a very godly lady and one who loved to feed those who came to her house. Aunt Goodness was a petite little lady, but that did not stop her from working tirelessly for hours on end in her small kitchen, making delicious food for everyone! Her house would smell like real homemade cooking. Her dining room table was often covered with various plates of meat, bowls of side dishes, and baskets of rolls, biscuits, and gravy! We are thankful for the memorable times we had with her at her house and for being able to enjoy her delicious homemade meals too!

Once Aunt Goodness would finally settle down and sit in the living room, she would chat with us and always talk about her love for the Lord. She would ask us about our going to church, our lives back at home, and what was going on in the current News around the world. Even in her advanced age, she would write back to us often. We always left Doug’s Aunt’s house feeling like we were ‘well-tended to and cared for.’ We will never forget Doug’s generous and kind Great Aunt Goodness.

Galatians 5:22-23 “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.”

When one thinks of the godly elderly, they often think of someone in the church. Truth be told, that is where they are usually found. For some reason, it seems to take a lot of us many, many years to finally settle down, put aside our pride, and give our all to the Lord. It takes humility and wisdom to develop in us so that we can let Christ finally take His rightful place in our lives. Just as God’s Word says, only a few will find and follow this narrow path.

For example, at the local church we were attending, there is a general Women’s Bible Study on Sunday nights, and there is an elderly Ladies Bible Study on Tuesday mornings. It was easy to decide which one I would attend because the general one with the younger ladies was not very warm or inviting, while the one with the elderly ladies was far more receptive, friendly, and welcoming. Even though I was the youngest one in attendance, neither they nor I seemed to mind. All that mattered was that we were there to fellowship, pray for one another, and spend time reading God’s Word.

There were 3 Ladies in that class whom I looked up to. One was the Teacher, and for this writing, we will call her Mrs. Peace. She displayed many of the fruits of the Spirit, and we all knew her favorite Bible verse because she would recite it often by saying, “Rejoice in the Lord always, and again I say Rejoice!” She was a clear Bible teacher and would have us take turns reading scripture, and then she would expound on them in ways that would help us to understand the passage better. I will always remember the godly Mrs. Peace.

Then, there was a lady in that class we will call Mrs. Longsuffering, for she shared my affliction in having a prodigal as well. She gave me a ‘sense of hope’ in seeing how her prodigal son came back to the family after nearly 25 years of wandering away. It helped to know that I was not alone in this ‘nightmare experience’ and that somebody had that ‘been there, done that’ testimony to share with me as an example of what the outcome could be. I will always remember the encouraging Mrs. Longsuffering too.

Finally, there was this most gentle and sweet lady we will call Mrs. Meek, for she was so soft and quiet in speech and demeanor. She always took the time to say Hello to me at church, while many women my age did not. I also loved listening to her read scripture, for it was with such tenderness and humility. Secretly, I wished that she was a family member that I could call my own. I will always remember the kind Mrs. Meek as well.

1 Peter 3:4 “But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price.”

My husband Doug also preferred the elderly Men’s Bible Study, and he got to know several of the men in there as well. Every Sunday morning, there was an elderly man we will call Mr. Joy, for he was one who ‘never saw a stranger.’ He was also a ‘soul full of gladness’ and would always walk up to greet us and make us laugh with some witty comment or joke that he would tell. Mr. Joy would also say a resounding, “Amen” at times throughout the service while most men kept quiet. We will always remember Mr. Joy for taking the time to greet and cheer us and those around him.

Our culture does not appreciate people getting old; it is as if it is something that we are to ‘strive to avoid’ at all cost! The Bible tells us that our grey hairs are a ‘crown of splendor’ upon us, if we gain it through righteousness. Only then can this crown of splendor be understood as something that is to be embraced. Our society tends to ‘throw away’ our elderly by unwisely deeming them as non-essential.

Proverbs 16:31 “The hoary head is a crown of glory, if it be found in the way of righteousness.”

There was once a time when the younger generation looked up to, respected, and even highly esteemed the elderly. Those days are gone when we can see on the News how vile people can just go around sucker punching and knocking out the helpless elderly on the streets for no apparent reason and with no remorse!

Guess what? If the Lord tarries, we will all become elderly one day. To me, it is comforting to know that God’s Word tells us that even in our old age, He cares for us and deems us as ‘very valuable’ in His eyes!

Isaiah 46:4 “And even to your old age I am he; and even to hoar hairs will I carry you: I have made, and I will bear; even I will carry, and will deliver you.”

Gotquestions.org: What does the Bible say about beauty?

What is beautiful in God’s eyes? Recognizing the qualities God has cherished in the lives of other people is one way to determine His concept of beauty. Noah’s implicit trust in God led him to construct a gigantic boat miles from water. Abraham trusted God’s promise so implicitly that he would have sacrificed his son of promise without hesitation. Moses yielded total control of his life to God and became the man of meekness. David gave his whole being to doing the will of God. No consequence or shameful treatment could keep Daniel from reverencing his God. Peter, Paul, Barnabas, and Timothy were ruled by God in every consideration and decision. They were totally focused upon Jesus’ will as they shared the gospel with all. In all these qualities, God saw great beauty.

Peter directed Christian women to focus on the inner, spiritual qualities in order to be truly beautiful: “Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as braided hair and the wearing of gold jewelry and fine clothes. Instead, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight. For this is the way the holy women of the past who put their hope in God used to make themselves beautiful” (1 Peter 3:3-5). Peter is not prohibiting nice clothes or nice hairstyles; he is simply saying that a gentle and quiet spirit is even more beautiful in God’s eyes.

The qualities God wants in His people further reveal His concept of beauty. The beatitudes reveal some of God’s standards of beauty. An awareness of one’s spiritual poverty, sorrow for wickedness, hunger and thirst for righteousness, mercy, purity of heart, and being a peacemaker are all qualities of beauty. The epistles also stress attributes valued by God: keeping a living faith while enduring physical hardships, controlling the tongue, enduring personal harm to protect the church’s influence, making sacrifices for the good of others, and living by Christian convictions in the face of ridicule. All these are beautiful to God. – Source

There is truth to the saying that ‘beauty is only skin deep,’ for true and timeless beauty encompasses so much more than the surface level that we can see! As you can deduce from this writing, what made the elderly people in my life beautiful to me was not in their appearance but in the godliness that they so radiated towards me and everyone around them!

One cannot have this ‘timeless beauty’ apart from the Lord Jesus Christ! Just as Jesus said, “Apart from me, ye can do nothing.” That is true… apart from Jesus, we can do nothing right, nothing of significance, and nothing of true eternal value. Apart from Jesus, we have no good thing in us, no real beauty, no significance, and no actual worth. Jesus IS our Life! He is our sustenance, He is our strength, and above all, He is our everything!

John 15:5 “I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.”

Apart from Jesus, we do not possess anything that matters! One can profess Christ, but to truly possess Christ is a different story! To possess the kind of Life that is Eternal is to possess a Life that can only be found in Him! A Life that we can live now for Jesus that is more abundant, whole, and meaningful, to be exact. The Lord Jesus Christ gives our lives worth, purpose, and beauty. Furthermore, He gives us a ‘beautiful anticipation’ of Our Blessed Hope and an assurance of the possession of a future Eternal Life that will be spent with Him!

Yes, those who emit this ‘timeless beauty’ of Christ are the godly, and for that we should be grateful. Especially for the elderly that have paved the way, leading by example, through displaying the Fruit of the Spirit in their lives to everyone around them.

Thank you to those who allow the Lord to shine in and through you for all to see, for that is the true definition of Beauty!

Proverbs 31:30 “Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain; but a woman that feareth the LORD, she shall be praised.”

Until next time… Maranatha!

JESUS = THE WAY, THE TRUTH, & THE LIFE!

Jesus Will Come!
