Who is going to fight the battle in the great invasion of Israel?
The Sovereign God will fight this battle on the hills of Israel during the great invasion. Scripture indicates that in this conflict the combatants will turn against one another, killing each other rather than the enemy. This pattern mirrors earlier events where God caused confusion among enemy armies, as seen in Revelation and Ezekiel.
Les explains that the great invasion of Israel is unique because the combatants kill one another, not the enemy. He points to Revelation chapter 6, verse 4, where power is given to take peace from the earth so that they should kill one another. Comparing this with Ezekiel, Les emphasizes that the Sovereign God is going to fight this battle on the hills of Israel. He also recalls a previous event when Samaria was encircled, under siege, and starving; the Lord prophesied that by the next night they would have more food than they could use, and the Syrian army was suddenly routed because in their confusion they were killing each other. So it has happened before.
