Why do none of Israel's neighbors Invade Israel with Gog?

Why do none of Israel's neighbors Invade the land of Israel with Gog?

Ezekiel 38:5 KJV: Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all of them with shield and helmet:

Why do Egypt, Jordan, Syria,, Saudi Arabia, Lebanon, Gaza not join Gog when he invades Israel?

Ethiopia and Lybia Invade Israel but Egypt does not. Who can explain why? Please provide scripture showing why Egypt does not participated.

Because it already happened in the time of Esther making any predictions of a future fulfillment false prophecy.

 

[Lazarus Short]

...or it might be because the land of unwalled villages, called "the mountains of Israel" in the text, is NOT the small country calling itself "Israel" today. That country has plenty of walls, gates and bars. The real subject of Ezekiel's Gog/Magog prophecy is not well understood, methinks...

Where in the book of Esther does it show the armies of Russia, Persia, Libia and Ethiopia invading Israel and being destroyed by God?

Please provide chapter and verse.

Egypt and most of Israel's neighbors have peace treaties and good relations with Israel. (Syria doesn't but it is currently divided between different powers. One of these powers is Turkey, which is Magog itself.)

So you believe Egypt does not attack Israel because of a peace treaty. Can you explain why Egypt is destroyed all the way to its border with Ethiopia?
Or do you know when the following verses are fulfilled?
Before or after Gog, Ethiopia, and Lybia Invade Israel?

Ezekiel 29:10 KJV: Behold, therefore I am against thee, and against thy rivers, and I will make the land of Egypt utterly waste and desolate, from the tower of Syene even unto the border of Ethiopia.
Ezekiel 29:11 KJV: No foot of man shall pass through it, nor foot of beast shall pass through it, neither shall it be inhabited forty years.
Ezekiel 29:12 KJV: And I will make the land of Egypt desolate in the midst of the countries that are desolate, and her cities among the cities that are laid waste shall be desolate forty years: and I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and will disperse them through the countries.
Ezekiel 29:13 KJV: Yet thus saith the Lord GOD; At the end of forty years will I gather the Egyptians from the people whither they were scattered:
Ezekiel 29:14 KJV: And I will bring again the captivity of Egypt, and will cause them to return into the land of Pathros, into the land of their habitation; and they shall be there a base kingdom.
Ezekiel 29:15 KJV: It shall be the basest of the kingdoms; neither shall it exalt itself any more above the nations: for I will diminish them, that they shall no more rule over the nations.

God is not talking about physical land, physical walled village, physical mountain here. Rather those are symbolic of New Testament Congregation all over the world. Mountain = Kingdom. It is the kingdom of God that the church represented since Pentecost.

Walled because they are protected with the gospel of Truth for the whole New Testament Period. But after the church has been built, more and more churches have fallen away (apostasy) from God and as a result, loses protection from God. This is when God has allowed the army of Gog and Magog, a body of false prophets and christs, to come in to deceive many within the unfaithful congregation of God as a judgment.

So no, Gog and Magog are NOT about a physical war in the Middle East. Many people are looking at the wrong place with their so-called newspaper eschatology theology.

Is Ethiopia, Lybia, and Persia not real places too?

The oracles in Eze 29:1-16 are dated to January 587 BC. Egypt attempted to defend Jerusalem against Nebuchadnezzar but Jerusalem fell in 587 BC. Subsequently, Nebuchadnezzar invaded Egypt in 568 BC. He failed in his endeavor but these were difficult times for Egypt with both civil wars and foreign wars taking place.

Ultimately, the Lord Jesus conquered the idols of Egypt and its people became Christians until the Islamists' invasion, when prolonged persecution resulted in a majority adopting Islam.

You know Egypt has been continually dwelt in by the Egyptians since even before this prophecy was given. It has never been desolate of man since.
