00:00:01 In chapter 17, we learned
00:00:03 about Gog’s attack on Jehovah’s people.
00:00:06 We’re grateful that Jehovah has warned us
00:00:09 about what the coalition of nations will do.
00:00:12 But that’s not the end of the story.
00:00:15 Ezekiel’s prophecy goes on to tell us
00:00:17 what will happen to this enemy of pure worship.
00:00:21 Chapter 18 of the Pure Worship book is entitled
00:00:24 “My Great Rage Will Flare Up.”
00:00:28 That title comes from Ezekiel 38:18:
00:00:32 “‘On that day, the day when Gog invades the land of Israel,’
00:00:36 “declares the Sovereign Lord Jehovah,
00:00:39 ‘my great rage will flare up.’”
00:00:43 As we study this thrilling information,
00:00:45 look for these key points:
00:00:49 What provokes Jehovah’s great rage?
00:00:52 Why will his enemies not have valid cause
00:00:55 to be surprised when he unleashes his wrath?
00:00:58 When will Jehovah’s rage flare up,
00:01:02 and how will he express it?
00:01:05 Just think:
00:01:07 During the great tribulation just ahead,
00:01:10 pure worshippers will witness something truly spectacular
00:01:14 —how Jehovah will stand up for his people
00:01:17 and sanctify his holy name.
00:01:21 May this chapter move you to do all you can
00:01:25 to promote pure worship now.
