Tuck Furkey! They shouldn’t be in NATO.
Really ..??
Gog and Magog are spiritual beings .. not flesh and blood people.
So please quote it correctly.
No problem :)
My Grandfather taught this to me when I was about 10. He was a very famous Professor of Theology.
“This man Erdogan has led the conspiracy that caused a huge influx of fighting-age men to infiltrate Europe as ‘refugees’.”
Look where they’re coming from, as predicted in Rev. 20:9:
“and will come out to deceive the nations which are in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together for the war; the number of them is like the sand of the seashore. And they came up on the broad plain of the earth and surrounded the camp of the saints and the beloved city, and fire came down from heaven and devoured them. “
I’m not sure if Erdogan is THE Anti-Christ, but he’s certainly a vile man.
Seems like there is a race to see who can be the AntiChrist.
As you seem not to be bothered reading the link I posted, I’ll copy and paste the revelant pieces:
“Eze 38:1-3 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 2 Son of man, set thy face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief Prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him, 3 And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief Prince of Meshech and Tubal:”
“Magog is mentioned in the genealogies of Genesis 10 as well as 1Chronicles 1. Magog is mentioned alongside of his brothers Meshech, Tubal, and Gomer, plus a few more. It is interesting to note that most bible prophecy teachers place Tubal, Gomer, Togarmah, and Meshech in today’s Turkey.”
“Gen 10:1-3 Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth: and unto them were sons born after the flood. 2 The sons of Japheth; Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras. 3 And the sons of Gomer; Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah.
Magog, Meshech, Tubal, and Gomer are also sons of Japheth. Japheth and his sons all settled in today’s Turkey. You could call Japheth the King of Turkey. His sons are all Princes. Magog was the chief or most prominent Prince amongst his brothers. Princes were set over provinces.”
“So Magog was the son of Japheth. Japheth was the king of what we know as Turkey today. Magog and his brothers ruled over different provinces in the land we call Turkey today. Magog was the chief Prince of Meshech and Tubal. In other words, Magog was the most prominent Prince amongst his brothers. Remember that Meshech and Tubal settled in today’s Turkey. In prophetic terms Magog is the primary governor of Turkey. I would call him the Prime Minister. From 2003 to 2014 Turkey’s Prime Minister was Recep Tayyip Erdogan. He is the prime candidate to fulfill the end time role of Magog the primary governor of Turkey.
In Ezekiel chapter 38 Turkey leads an invasion into Israel along with Libya, Iran, and Sudan. All of these nations are fighting in Syria today. In Ezekiel chapter 39 the chief prince of Turkey leads the battle of Armageddon. The primary governor of Turkey is the Antichrist.”
There, is that better? It consistently says in the Bible they are PEOPLE and a COUNTRY....NOT “spiritual beings”
This pretty much sums up why Gog and Magog are not Russia and never have been:
“It is High Time to recognize that Magog is not Russia! That view came about by transcribing “chief” (or the Hebrew “rosh”) to mean Russia (Eze 38:1-3). Transposing Hebrew words into English phonetic equivalents is not proper bible prophecy interpretation technique. That technique is not used elsewhere to interpret bible prophecy. Rosh means first or primary.”
Notice - Transposing Hebrew words into English phonetic equivalents is not proper bible prophecy interpretation technique. That technique is not used elsewhere to interpret bible prophecy.
So why make this ONE exception, when it’s not used to interpret the Bible anywhere else?
The whole Russia theory mainly was pushed by anti-Communists many, many decades ago, because of their anti-Communist agenda and general hatred of Russia....and the Evangenicals lapped it up.
We certainly have questionable allies in much of the ME.
I have suspicions it could be Obama, I know he’s a disaster, but it’s disturbing to me that so many people in the world still think he’s actually a good fellow.
If that’s not him being The Great Deceiver, I don’t know what is.
Then again, Obama’s disastrous foreign policy could be paving the way for the Anti-Christ, and with that, it’ll remain a mystery until he appears.
How is it that Russia and the Nation of Israel have a very unique and mutually beneficial relationship? There are many Russian nationals that live and work in Israel. Also many Russian immigrants call Israel home. You would be surprised how many Russians there are that call themselves Israelis.
I agree with you, but my post had no relation to yours.
A lot of Bible scholars do use Russia .. but some also include China and all the Arabic nations.
When GOD puts the “hook in the jaw” to draw Gog and Magog DOWN, it doesn’t give any real clue as to who the exact nations are that will be tricked into the Valley of Megiddo (in Israel), in the site of Mt. Carmel; where they will be destroyed.
Could be. I’ve been expecting somebody far more intelligent, but arrogance sometimes may be more limiting than it appears.
Of course there are two battles involving Gog and Magog, Ezekiel 38-39 and Revelation 20:7-8. The former is very different from the latter.
The latter will involve all nations, including Gog and his nation of Magog:
Revelation 20:7–9
The Defeat of Satan
“7 And when the thousand years are ended, Satan will be released from his prison 8 and will come out to deceive the nations that are at the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them for battle; their number is like the sand of the sea. 9 And they marched up over the broad plain of the earth and surrounded the camp of the saints and the beloved city, but fire came down from heaven and consumed them”
I’m sorry, did I miss something .. like your being appointed to rule over me ..????????
Get real.
There are many interpretations .. if you don’t like what I write .. too bad.
Except, the King of the North isn’t Turkey.
I was responding to your rather bad mannered post to me:
“Really ..??
Gog and Magog are spiritual beings .. not flesh and blood people.
So please quote it correctly.”
I therefore copied and pasted an ENTIRE section from the link I provided, that you obviously couldn’t be bothered to read.
So I actually proved therefore, that I HAD quoted it correctly.
I am real and I’m a sensible person, so I’m not going to bother responding to your other ill-phrased comments to me in your latest post.
It’s astonishing what Obama is being permitted to get away with, with hardly any uproar....coated in Teflon doesn’t even come close.
I’ve personally never heard the China thing myself.
There was nothing “bad-mannered” about what I said. It was just that it didn’t agree with what you said .. and you’re pouting over it.
Sorry, don’t have time to listen to people whine about scripture that they cannot understand.
Goodbye.
