But one of the things that was brought up, and I want to read, I'll just read this just because I want to get your thoughts on it, is, again, well, this is historical.

Well, in verse 8, as I mentioned earlier, it says this, after many days, you will be visited.

In the latter years, you talking to basically this coalition, specifically the leader, Gog, you will come into the land of those brought back from the sword and gathered for many people

on the mountains of Israel, which had long been desolate.

They were brought out of the nations, and now all of them dwell securely, or with confidence.

Betach in the Hebrew is with confidence.

What I find interesting here is it's a reference to the latter

years, but also to the mountains of Israel. So in the sense of many people will say, well,

come on, no, come on, you're just, this is historical. Ezekiel's doing this. He's mentioning

this in 600 BC. Well, we know that in the waves, Israel got exile to Babylon. And so they were there

for 70 years, right? Jeremiah 25. But I think in 70 years, okay, they're brought back after,

were the mountains long desolate? In 70 years? I mean, that's actually not even true at all because as we know that when

the Assyrian captivity happened, the mountains there going all the way from Samaria down into

Judah, it was filled with, you know, other peoples. But then Judah got, Judah got basically exiled.

But is the, so here's the question.

Is this long desolation of the mountains of Israel?

So Israel is coming back after a time of absence.

Is it 70 years or is it 1878 years?

You know, where is this 1948 or is this basically 536 BC?

Which one fits the text and the latter years better?

Yeah, yeah.

48.
