With all of the details given in Ezekiel 38 and Ezekiel 39, the following graphic attempts to capture them in a general sense. There is a build up in activity between the God, or Russia, and its Muslim confederates. Though there are battle plans drawn up to invade and destroy Israel, they are not pursued until some cataclysmic event occurs. This event may be the rapture of the church, or other natural or manmade catastrophe. Nevertheless, Russia and its confederates will realize an opportunity to take advantage of and quickly position their forces in Northern Israel to invade her. This battle is the Lord's. Though the invading forces are prepared for an all out attack, neither the invaders nor Israel will launch any type of weapon. Instead, the Lord will rain all types of judgment upon Israel's enemies and utterly destroy them and their homeland. Thereafter, it will take about seven years to bury the remnants of the dead. Afterward, a remnant of Israel will have a revived relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ, their Messiah, which is depicted as a solid purple rectangle in the last half of the seven years of the tribulation, and on into the Millennial reign of Christ over this world.
Jerry: I disagree with this scenario.
Ezekiel 39:9, for the weapons to be burned seven years, would need to have the event occur before mid-tribulation. The reasoning for this is that Revelation 12:13-17 says after the abomination and Satan being kicked out of heaven...his persecution of Israel will be so intense that the Jews will flee in an exodus to a place of safety for three and a half year waiting for Jesus' second coming. During the Great Tribulation, Israel will not be in the lad to burn the weapons. So this would push the Ezekiel 38 & 39 war out to three and a half to seven years before Daniel 9:27 starts.
These are the other possible scenarios.
