On May 19, 2024, the 2nd in command of Iran (the prince of Rosh) was flying in a formation of 3 helicopters over the mountains of NW Iran, which, at the time of Ezekiel, was part of Israel.
In a fog, the chopper holding Ebrahim Raisi crashed into the mountains, all perished including his commander-in-chief of the Revolutionary Guard his Major General, his spiritual leader and 3 others. Only Raisi's chopper went down. Raisi "fell against the mountains" after Iran, for the first time, directly attacked Israel with more than 300 missiles and rockets (arrows), but Israel's Iron Dome "dashed them to the ground."
Now go read Ezek 39:1-4a. If this isn't a prophesy fulfilled, it's certainly a shadow of one that will be.

Reference Chapters and Characters of note:
Ezekiel 38-39 - War of Gog and Magog: Are Gogs hoards from northern Russia?
Is Gog Russia?
Is Magog the country / territory of Iran? Iran is also known as Persia and Elam.
Jeremiah 49:34-39 prophesied that Elam would be conquered by Babylon but rise again.
But then Persia, under Cyrus the Great, took control of that area, and the Elamites and Medes became part of the Persian Empire. The Medo-Persian Empire ascended to power and conquered Babylon in 539 BC, fulfilling the prophecy of Isaiah 21:2. This happened during the time of Daniel (Daniel 5); in fact, Daniel later resided “in the province of Elam” in Persia (Daniel 8:2). Persia is the setting for the book of Esther and the first part of Nehemiah.
Ezekiel 38:5 specifically mentions Persia as an ally of Magog/Russia. Other nations included in this coalition will be Sudan, Turkey, Libya, and others. This vast army will come against Israel, who at that time will be “a peaceful and unsuspecting people” (verse 11).
Ponder those last five words for a second. It’s a description of a point in time….specifically the last three words..”an unsuspecting people.” Which begs the question, considering we are referring to Israel…how much time must pass before Israel will be an “unsuspecting people?”
We'll discuss this question and many others today. Thanks for joining us.
