There are few biblical topics that generate as much speculation—and anxiety—as Gog and Magog. Turn on the news, and someone is ready to connect current events to these mysterious names. But what if the point of these passages isn’t to make us anxious about the future… but confident in God’s faithfulness? Based on understanding of the original passage in Ezekiel 38 and on the bible's use of apocalyptic language I will show that Gog and Magog are not given to frighten us—they are given to anchor us. They remind us that no matter how chaotic the world appears, God’s purposes stand firm.

Matt 6:12 version differences Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us. Forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors. Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. Points: 1. Forgiveness is a conscious decision to release feelings of resentment and vengeance towards someone who has harmed you. 2. Practicing forgiveness promotes emotional healing and enhances psychological well-being by reducing stress and negative emotions. 3. Forgiveness is a process that may require time and reflection, and it does not mean forgetting or condoning the offense. It is also not reconciliation, though forgiveness is required for reconciliation.

Lord’s Prayer (Congregation Together): 9 Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, 10 your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. 11 Give us today our daily bread. 12 And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. 13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. For yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever. Amen. Lord's Prayer Progression: Adoration -> Obedience -> Dependence Recognize our Father in Heaven is a Good Giver. (“Give us”) Root ourselves in daily dependence on God to provide. (“today our daily”) Receive life-giving sustenance. (“bread”) Suggested Practices for Lent: Read the Bible daily. Journal your thoughts and reflections. Listen to worship music in your time with God. Replay the messages in our current Lenten series. Takeaway: Contentment protects us from temptations that lure us away from God’s will.
