Israel does not dwell without walls before the time of the great tribulation. But -she will after Armageddon. After the mount of Olives has already split.
Ezekiel 38:8
"...they shall dwell safely..."
It says - "brought forth out of the nations"
v11 mentions "unwalled villages"
Look at what John saw as to the 24 seated elders just after that in the the chapter. They are co-rulers over the world. They are what Paul referred to as - the elect angels-and we are charged before them.
Paul showed that they will not judge us at the return of Jesus Christ.
Revelation 11 has an announcement in heaven as to when the elders -elect angels - give up their power as rulers. The seats become vacant. The OT shows that He is coming back as exalted alone. When He is seen on the right hand of the Father...there will not be angels sitting as co-rulers around the throne. There will be no doubt who is the Son of God.
The wicked will hide in the rocks for fear of Him and His glory -according to Isaiah. John saw this happen in the end of the 6th seal time.
the seventh angel sounded/so no way yet have the wrath of God vials been poured
His wrath is only just now starting
there is an announcement
the 24 elders, which sat before God on their seats, fell
/as in no longer on their seats
It is now time for the resurrection of the just - as it is time to reward the saints.
judge the dead
reward the saints
bring wrath on the earth upon the ones that are destroying it
/the vials will later start
the temple of God -opens in heaven
John sees the ark - as in time for mercy
the mercy seat -would be on the ark
then goes out a part to show that another set of punishments will soon begin
lightnings....voices...thunderings....great hail
the great hail - is how the set of plagues will end
God will be angry -His wrath is come....and it ends with great hail.
The set of plagues must be next, so take the last part of Rev. 11 and read the first part of Rev. 16 for what will happen in the scene.
They died - at least some did, during the great tumult mentioned earlier. This is the first Gog war. Ezekiel told how he comes after Israel is brought back from the sword - and dwells safely.
dwelling safely is not the same thing as when the Lord has made the new earth later
Eze 38:11 - And thou shalt say, I will go up to the land of unwalled villages; I will go to them that are at rest, that dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates,
This is not the time of the new earth, but a battle that will occur after Armageddon has ended and Israel has rebuilt in her land. It is lifted up - not a city that comes down to the earth. The survivors of the battle from the nations must come to Jerusalem to worship God and keep the feast of tabernacles. This is while Satan is bound in the pit. He is not bound immediately after Armageddon. He is loosed, gathers the nations, then occurs the final Gog war, then later, the day and hour not known to men when heaven and earth will pass away.
I actually found 2 bible versions that render it like the Greek:Using the Septuagint, it can be seen that the Jerusalem of Zechariah 14:11 is the New Jerusalem.
Zechariah 14:11 (Septuagint) they shall dwell in the city; and there shall be no more any curse, and Jerusalem shall dwell securely.
Revelation 22:3 And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him
