Ooh, ooh! To your first commentary, the article mentions Jerusalem, Armageddon, and Gog/Magog, but what does the Scripture actually say? What is the context and meaning? But first, a quick quote to get anyone digging on your second commentary on dispensationalism (and tools like it):
The thirteenth, and finally, that we may be altogether of the same mind and in conformity with the Church herself, if she shall have defined anything to be black which to our eyes appears to be white, we ought in like manner to pronounce it to be white. [Autograph, The thirteenth: that we may in all things attain the truth (that we may not err in anything), we ought ever to hold it (as a fixed principle), that what I see white, I believe to be black, if the Hierarchical Church so define it (to be);] https://archive.org/details/a588350800loyouoft/page/n229/mode/2up
Who wrote this? What group did he belong to? What are the rules for? How many are they and what do they say? What is "learning against learning"? Who coined that term? What group does he belong to?
Back to the first commentary!
First on earthly Jerusalem (and Judaism) destroyed in its entirety by Babylon:
As he approached Jerusalem and saw the city, he wept over it and said, "If you, even you, had only known on this day what would bring you peace-- but now it is hidden from your eyes. The days will come upon you when your enemies will build an embankment again you and encircle you and hem you in on every side. They will dash you to the ground, you and the children within your walls. They will not leave one stone on another, because you did not recognize the time of God's coming to you. Luke 19:41-44
This has already happened. This is a typology, and this is the type. Names were meant to have meaning, but modern naming is only that - a name.
So where or what is Jerusalem now?
And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. Revelation 21:2
Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name. Revelation 3:12
Before the second coming of Christ, New Jerusalem, the Church of God where we are the 'living stones' rebuilding "on another", the Kingdom of those who seek God and seek salvation through the blood of the Lamb Jesus Christ, is seen in heaven by John. With the second coming of Jesus Christ, with the glory of God from the east [Matthew 25:31], He brings the 'living stones' of new Jerusalem with Him, and after the millennia establishes His Kingdom on earth.
Why does He specifically come from the east, by the way? That's a whole other topic of great significance, but let's try to be brief! Wow, there's just so much!
Secondly on the typology of Armageddon:
Then they gathered the kings together to the place that in Hebrew is called Armageddon. Revelation 16:16
The greek word for "place" used is "topos" which can also mean "a state of mind". We can see the actual battle, the type, in the valley of Har Megiddo, as a battle of decision, if we consider what Elijah said on mount Carmel:
And Elijah came unto all the people, and said, How long halt ye between two opinions? if the Lord be God, follow him: but if Baal, then follow him. And the people answered him not a word. 1 Kings 18:21
The valley of Armageddon is a type of Jehoshaphat (hebrew meaning God has judged), and a type of Jerusalem:
I will gather all nations and bring them down to the Valley of Jehosphaphat... Joel 3:2
Here is where God intervened and fought for His people.
I will gather all the nations to Jerusalem to fight against it... Zechariah 14:2
Here is where God intervenes (again) and fights for His people. The decision to be made, this is the antitype, and this time again the battle is for your mind. But this time, He destroys the followers of Baal with the brightness of His second coming as Christ (2 Thessalonians 2:8).
Lastly on Gog and Magog:
And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison, And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog, and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea. And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them. And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever. And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire. Revelation 20:7-15
Revelation is written as a chiasm with the historical arm reading forwards, then the climax, then the eschatological arm reading backwards. The events here are described in reverse to maintain the chiasmic structure: as in the historic arm, first is the second resurrection, then the judgement of God, then the destruction of Satan and his hosts. Gog and Magog is the typology of the destruction of Satan and his hosts that happens after the millennium and with fire from God out of heaven.
And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation: Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you. Luke 17:20-21
But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which vail is done away in Christ. 2 Corinthians 3:14
Ooh, ooh! To your first commentary, the article mentions Jerusalem, Armageddon, and Gog/Magog, but what does the Scripture actually say? What is the context and meaning? But first, a quick quote to get anyone digging on your second commentary on dispensationalism (and tools like it):

And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. Revelation 21:2
Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name. Revelation 3:12
Before the second coming of Christ, New Jerusalem, the Church of God where we are the 'living stones' rebuilding "on another", the Kingdom of those who seek God and seek salvation through the blood of the Lamb Jesus Christ, is seen in heaven by John. With the second coming of Jesus Christ, with the glory of God from the east [Matthew 25:31], He brings the 'living stones' of new Jerusalem with Him, and establishes His Kingdom on earth.
Why does He specifically come from the east, by the way? That's a whole other topic of great significance, but let's try to be brief! Wow, there's just so much!
Secondly on the typology of Armageddon:
Then they gathered the kings together to the place that in Hebrew is called Armageddon. Revelation 16:16
The greek word for "place" used is "topos" which can also mean "a state of mind". We can see the actual battle, the type, in the valley of Har Megiddo, as a battle of decision, if we consider what Elijah said on mount Carmel:
And Elijah came unto all the people, and said, How long halt ye between two opinions? if the Lord be God, follow him: but if Baal, then follow him. And the people answered him not a word. 1 Kings 18:21
The valley of Armageddon is a type of Jehoshaphat (hebrew meaning God has judged), and a type of Jerusalem:
I will gather all nations and bring them down to the Valley of Jehosphaphat... Joel 3:2
Here is where God intervened and fought for His people.
I will gather all the nations to Jerusalem to fight against it... Zechariah 14:2
Here is where God intervenes (again) and fights for His people. The decision to be made, this is the antitype, and this time again the battle is for your mind. But this time, He destroys the followers of Baal with the brightness of His second coming as Christ (2 Thessalonians 2:8).
Lastly on Gog and Magog:
And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison, And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog, and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea. And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them. And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever. And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire. Revelation 20:7-15
Revelation is written as a chiasm with the historical arm reading forwards, then the climax, then the eschatological arm reading backwards. The events here are described in reverse to maintain the chiasmic structure: first is the second resurrection, then the judgement of God, then the destruction of Satan and his hosts, as in the historic arm. Gog and Magog is the typology of the destruction of Satan and his hosts that happens after the millennium and with fire from God out of heaven.
Is it time for thee, LORD, to work: for they have made void thy law. Psalm 119:126
It really feels like this time is getting closer and closer, doesn't it?
Ooh, ooh! To your first commentary, the article mentions Jerusalem, Armageddon, and Gog/Magog, but what does the Scripture actually say? What is the context and meaning? But first, a quick quote to get anyone digging on your second commentary on dispensationalism (and tools like it):
The thirteenth, and finally, that we may be altogether of the same mind and in conformity with the Church herself, if she shall have defined anything to be black which to our eyes appears to be white, we ought in like manner to pronounce it to be white. [Autograph, The thirteenth: that we may in all things attain the truth (that we may not err in anything), we ought ever to hold it (as a fixed principle), that what I see white, I believe to be black, if the Hierarchical Church so define it (to be);] https://archive.org/details/a588350800loyouoft/page/n229/mode/2up
Who wrote this? What group did he belong to? What are the rules for? How many are they and what do they say? Where does the term "learning against learning" come from? Who coined that term? What group does he belong to?
Back to the first commentary!
First on earthly Jerusalem destroyed in its entirety by Babylon:
As he approached Jerusalem and saw the city, he wept over it and said, "If you, even you, had only known on this day what would bring you peace-- but now it is hidden from your eyes. The days will come upon you when your enemies will build an embankment again you and encircle you and hem you in on every side. They will dash you to the ground, you and the children within your walls. They will not leave one stone on another, because you did not recognize the time of God's coming to you. Luke 19:41-44
