For years I have been expecting that the prophecy of Ezekiel: 38, and 39 referred to the "Gog/Magog" Middle-East invasion as beginning as the appearance of a "cloud" swooping over the "mountains of Israel", seemed to refer to either a massive invasion of armaments, such as tanks, and troop carriers, or a form of toxic chemical warfare being spread upon the invasion path, to minimize resistance, and bring about total capitulation of their enemies, in this case, Israel! Perhaps a combination of the two is a more practical expectation, for the beginning of the invasion.
But, since Syria, one of the invading allies, has demonstrated a predisposition to use chemical weapons against rebels within their own country, and Sarin gas in particular, I logically presumed that that would be part of their advance operation.
But, news reports are now claiming that Syria is producing stockpiles of Chlorine gas, every bit as toxic as Sarin gas, but affecting the victims in different ways. Does the account of victims, in Jeremiah: 4, verse 19, relate to this type of gas attack? One can only speculate, but the description of someone complaining of stomach and abdominal pain, and rapid heart palpitations, does seem to describe the suffering that accompanies Chlorine gas exposure, coupled with the victim's concern that the noise of battle is surrounding him. It seems that this victim realizes that his services are soon to be required to defend his nation from external attack, yet he realizes that he is too debilitated to respond. This sounds like exactly what the intent will be for the users of chemical weapons upon Israel. Not so much the killing of their invasion foes, as the temporary debilitation of them, so as to render them useless in any defense against the invasion forces. And the fact that Chlorine gas, like Sarin gas, also is heavier than air, and seeks the lowest point to collect in, seems to agree with Jesus' prophetic warning in Matthew:24, that those who are effected by this invasion should not come down from their housetops, and those who are in the field should not return home, but flee to the mountain tops. This does not take into account that Israel has been making gas masks available for the public, for decades, presumably because many see this prophecy as on the verge of fulfillment!
But, the fact that international law considers Chemical weapons to be "illegal", relieves Israel of any international guilt for retaliating with another "illegal" weapons system that seems to be described as employed in this conflict; namely Neutron Nuclear devices (bombs, artillery shells, or missiles), which is apparently enough to cause the invaders to retreat in panic!!! The end of it all will be an overwhelming victory for Israel, and the total destruction of 83, and 1/3rd % of the invasion force!!!
This is how God plans to be "Glorified", upon the "mountains of Israel"!!!
