...A world that seeks to blind us to the truth...
...A world that seeks to eviscerate our moral perceptions by exploiting our youth...
...A world ruled by Satan---the original man-slayer---the Father of the Great Lie...Gog of Magog...
One can interpret this song however they like, yet at the very heart of all these sentiments is one very salient and resonating accord---The Devil's wicked influence has tainted this world so much that we have become slaves to its devices and really have no way out of this misery except to put faith in the true God, whom will destroy the Devil and his followers...
"I will call for a sword against him on all my mountains, declares the Sovereign Lord Jehovah...I will bring my judgment against him with pestilence and bloodshed; and I will rain down a torrential downpour and hailstones and fire and sulfur on him and on his troops and on the many peoples with him. And I will certainly magnify myself and sanctify myself and make myself known before the eyes of many nations; and they will have to know that I am Jehovah." (Ezekiel 38:21-23)
'This is what the Sovereign Lord Jehovah says: "I am against you, Gog,...I will knock your bow our of your left hand and make your arrows fall from your right hand...I will give you as food to all kinds of birds of prey and the wild beasts of the field...You will fall on the open field, for I myself have spoken,' declares the Sovereign Lord Jehovah." (Ezekiel 39:1-5)
"'Yes, this is coming, and it will be done,' declares the Sovereign Lord Jehovah. 'This is the day I have spoken about...On that day I will give Gog a burial place there in Israel, in the valley of those who travel east of the sea...That is where they will bury Gog and all his hordes, and they will call it the Valley of Hamon-Gog..." (Ezekiel 39:8-11)
"Men will be assigned to pass through the land constantly and bury the bodies left remaining on the surface of the earth, in order to cleanse it...I will display my glory among the nations, and all the nations will see the judgment that I have executed and the power that I have demonstrated among them..." (Ezekiel 39:14-21)
"I saw heaven opened, and look! a white horse. And the one seated on it is called Faithful and True, and he judges and carries on war in righteousness...He has a name written that no one knows but he himself, and he is clothed with an outer garment stained with blood, and he is called by the name The Word of God. Also, the armies in heaven were following him on white horses, and they were clothed in white, clean, fine linen. And out of his mouth protrudes a sharp, long sword with which to strike the nations, and he will shepherd them with a rod of iron...he treads the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God the Almighty. On his outer garment, he has a name written, King of kings and Lord of lords." (Revelation 19:11-16)
"And I saw the wild beast and the kings of the earth and their armies gathered together to wage war against the one seated on the horse...And the wild beast was caught, and along with it the false prophet that performed in front of it the signs with which he misled those who received the mark of the wild beast and those who worship its image. While still alive, they both were hurled into the fiery lake that burns with sulfur..." (Revelation 19:19,20)
