Gog/Magog Coalition Invades Israel in the Latter Years unfulfilled

Israel's military expansion northward into Lebanon aligns thematically with the Gog/Magog invasion prophecy framework—specifically, movements into the Levantine region that precede end-times geopolitical upheaval. While this is localized Israeli military action (not the full Gog coalition), it represents territorial assertion in a region prophesied to be central to final-stage conflicts. The northward push echoes the strategic positioning described in Ezekiel 38-39's invasion scenario.
