Camp of the Saints Surrounded

Israel's camp was ordered tribe by tribe around the tabernacle (Num 2), and "Yahuah thy Elohim walketh in the midst of thy camp... therefore shall thy camp be holy" (Deut 23:14). Fire from heaven answers the soldiers sent against Elijah (2 Kgs 1:10-12) and rains on Gog with brimstone (Ezek 38:22), "and I will send a fire on Magog" (Ezek 39:6). The camp of the saints and the beloved city is the true assembly, defined by whose authority governs it, not by coordinates on a map; "Yahuah loveth the gates of Zion" (Ps 87:2). The fire falls in the confrontation that is not a battle: one weapon, one fire, one judgment. No earthly Jerusalem siege is required.
