Ezekiel's
Prophecy
Ezekiel 38:2 Son of
man, set thy face against Gog, the
land of Magog,
the chief prince of Meshech
and Tubal,
and prophesy against him, And say, Thus saith
the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee,
O Gog, the chief prince
of Meshech and Tubal. And I will turn thee
back, and put hooks into thy jaws, and I will
bring thee forth,
and all thine army, horses and horsemen,
all of them clothed
with all sorts of armour, even a great company with bucklers and shields,
all of them handling swords:Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all
of them with shield and helmet: Gomer, and
all his bands; the
house of Togarmah of the north
quarters, and all his bands:
and many people with thee.
The Magog Identity
Hesiod, ''the
father of Greek didactic poetry,'' identified
Magog with the Scythians and southern
Russia in the 7th century B.C.
Herodotus of Harlicarnassus, known as the
''Father of History,'' wrote extensively
about the descendants of Magog by their Greek
name, the Scythians, in the 5th century B.C.
Flavius Josephus records that Magogians were
called ''Scythians'' by the Greeks. Philo,
in the 1st century, identifies Magog with
southern Russia. More on Magog
Daniel's 4th and Final Kingdom
Dan 2:41 And whereas thou sawest the feet and
toes, part of potters' clay, and part of iron,
the kingdom shall be divided; but there shall
be in it of the strength of the iron
Russia was once called the "Iron Curtain"
and they are known for producing the unique
Russian Iron. The Soviet Union was
divided in 1991 but
still has the strength of the iron in it.
Daniel 7:9 Then
I would know the truth of the fourth beast,
which was diverse
from all the others, exceeding dreadful,
whose teeth were of iron,
and his nails of brass; which devoured,
brake in pieces,
and stamped the residue with his feet.
"Diverse from all others". Due
to Daniel's prophecy of the the increase
in knowledge at the end time - this part
of the prophecy is already fulfilled.
"Stamped the residue with his feet" - the
residue stands for Israel.
Joel 2:20 But I will
remove far off from you the northern
army,
and will drive him
into
a land barren and desolate
The Sickle and Wheat (Harvest) Symbols of
Russia
Joel 3:13 Put
ye in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe:
come,
get you down.
Matthew 13:39 The
harvest is the end of the world
Last Dash to the South
Vladimir Zhirinovsky - A Russian Politician
who is supported by the Russian military,
is very anti-Semitic. A quotation from his
own book reads:
"Let Russia successfully accomplish
its last 'dash' to the south. I see Russian
soldiers gathering for this last southern
campaign ... I see planes at air bases in
the southern districts of Russia. I see submarines
surfacing off the shores of the Indian Ocean
and landing crafts approaching shores where
soldiers of the Russian Army are already
marching.... Infantry combat vehicles are
advancing and vast numbers of tanks are on
the move. Russia is at last accomplishing
its final military campaign."
Russian Military Movements
In 2006 Russia successfully launched
three new military satellites. The world
watches Iran and North Korea but nobody
seems to notice the King of the North
which will fulfill Ezekiel and Daniel's
prophetic words in the final world war.
Zechariah 14:2 For I
will gather all nations against Jerusalem
to battle; and the city
shall be
taken, and the houses rifled, and the women
ravished; and half of the city shall go forth
into captivity, and the residue of the people
shall not be cut off from the city.
Ezekiel 38:15 And
thou shalt come from thy place out
of the north parts, thou, and many
people
with
thee, all of them riding upon horses, a great
company, and a mighty army: And thou shalt
come up against my people
of Israel, as a
cloud to cover the land;
it shall be in the latter
days, and I will
bring thee against
my land, that the heathen may know me, when I shall be sanctified in thee,
O Gog, before their eyes.
