[Natufian]

Wouldn’t it have been more convincing and wouldn’t your theory be on more solid ground if Ezekiel had called Magog Russia and Gog Putin?

[Jan_Sobieski]

Good question. You have to understand the Ancient names of these places (not anglicized names), and the history of these places, in order to understand the prophecy. Example:

Ezekiel 38 mentions "Gog of the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal" (Ezek 38:2). Meshech was the ancient area of Moscow, Tubal is the area of Tobolsk, Russia.

Famous Jewish historian, Josephus, identified the offspring of Magog as the Scythians, a name used in antiquity for peoples north of the Black Sea.[1] According to him, the Greeks called Scythia Magogia (Ant., bk. I, 6). An alternate identification derived from an examination of the order in which tribal names are listed in Ezekiel 38

That said, there has never been an attack on Israel by the confederacy of nations listed in Ezekiel 38. Which tells us that it may be coming soon (given current events)...
