Q. I have been studying Ezekiel 38-39 and am now wrestling with the timing of these events. In searching the scriptures I find many details which lead me to believe the Battle of Gog-Magog must occur before the Tribulation Period. I believe the latest it could take place is three and half years before the Tribulation.
Since I also have a belief the Rapture will happen before the Tribulation starts, I struggle with the Doctrine of Imminency. I am not saying the Battle of Gog-Magog must occur before the Rapture, but scriptures seem to indicate this.
Gog-Magog before the Rapture?
A. As you know, there are numerous views as to the relative timing of the events mentioned by Ezekiel 38-39, the Rapture, and the Tribulation.
