Following the Battle of Ezekiel 38
Brethren have long studied the prophetic sequence of the invasion of Israel described in Ezekiel 38.

Principles of Biblical Quotations
"Holy men of God spake as they were moved by the holy Spirit" (2 Peter 1:21). From time to time we note what appear to be inaccuracies when New Testament writers quote from the Old Testament.
