I [will] sanctify myself through you before their eyes, O Gog.—Ezek. 38:16.

 

Gog will trust in his “arm of flesh”—his military might. (2 Chron. 32:8) We will trust in Jehovah our God—a stand that will seem foolish to the nations. After all, the gods of the once powerful Babylon the Great did not save her from “the wild beast” and its “ten horns”! (Rev. 17:16) So Gog will expect an easy victory. “Like clouds covering the land,” he will attack Jehovah’s people. But Gog will soon see that he has marched into a trap. Like Pharaoh at the Red Sea, Gog will learn that he is fighting against Jehovah. (Ex. 14:1-4; Ezek. 38:3, 4, 18, 21-23) Christ and his heavenly armies will defend God’s people and crush Gog’s hordes. (Rev. 19:11, 14, 15) But what about Jehovah’s chief enemy, Satan, whose lying propaganda led the nations to Armageddon? Jesus will hurl him and his demons into an abyss, where they will be locked away for a thousand years.—Rev. 20:1-3. w19.09 11-12 ¶14-15

Trust in anything other than Jehovah is futile.

Yes I think we will be put to a final test. Trust in Jehovah or die. Perhaps that is what it will feel like. There is nothing to fear is doing what is right and trusting in Jehovah's saving arm.  Many examples of how Jehovah saved his  people, now it's our  turn to see Jehovah's power, might and glory first hand.
