In a recent teaching, Bible scholar John Barnett laid out two compelling views on the prophetic “battle of Gog” and its placement within end-times chronology.
“There are two places that this battle of Mog could be,” Barnett said. “One could be right here, uh, right at the front end that launches the tribulation… the other half believe it’s right here, this Jerusalem attack, and it’s right at the end of the tribulation time.”

Either way, Barnett emphasized, what we do know is clear: “God is headed toward this, the Second Coming of Christ and the launching of Israel as the center of the world and the beacon of hope.”
Barnett pointed to real-world developments aligning with the prophetic timeline found in Ezekiel 38–39.
“Yesterday, Iran displayed the largest collection of armed drones they’ve ever seen in a military parade,” he said. “They are working as fast as possible to develop an atomic bomb.”

With Russia, China and Iran increasingly aligned, Barnett warned, “It could be very soon this whole thing is going to ignite and God is going to climactically intervene and save Israel.”
Regardless of when Ezekiel’s war occurs, Barnett concluded with a sobering reminder: “The next prophetic event for us that we’re looking for is Jesus to return, the judgment seat of Christ.”
