Similarities between Ezekiel's prophecies, today's Mideast reality uncanny.

Current world events are beginning to increasingly resemble the 2,500 year old bible prophecy made by Ezekiel in chapters 38-39. Ezekiel foresaw the rise of Russia (or Turkey, depending on the interpretation) in a coalition with Iran and other Middle Eastern countries (Sudan, Ethiopia and Libya)...

In ancient times "Gog" was the name given to the land of the "Kirgan" warriors (a ruthless tribe) and "MaGog" was their home city/state/village. The Kirgan were from the Ural and Caucus mountains of what is now known as Russia, and MaGog was believed to be where the current city of Moscow resides...

Later day decendants of the Kirgan were thought to be the "Cossacks" and other Caucus tribes (hence the term "Caucasian")...

I'm not so sure the driving force will be middle easterners...
 
Thanks Q. Interesting stuff.

I've always equated the Gog and MaGog names with the metals Iron and Copper respectively. Don't ask me why, just a general conclusion I reached somewhere in the big pictures I found in the stuff I read at excellent librarys. That would certainly go hand in hand with the warrior tradition. Weapons, along with agricultural tools and fittings were some of the first implements made with each metal.

It's always been easier for me to understand pictures I create in my head rather than written histories retained singly. In my world they usually and eventually fit together somewhere along the line.

flow....;)
 
because Gog’s attack goes beyond an assault on human governments. It strikes out against the heavenly government of God! However, unlike humans, who may have only limited success in coping with assaults on their system, the Creator is fully capable of dealing with Gog’s more vicious attack

Well if this is interesting to you then you'll be interested to know that Gog and Magog are not the final episode. There will be a final force that comes to "mop up" the heretofore weakened armies. They allegedly come from across the Yellow river and number 200 million. They too will be wiped out, but in a single day. Can you imagine an army 200 million strong wiped out in a single day?

Currently, there is only one region that can eve come close to amassing such an army, and it ain't India or Pakistan...only China can amass such an army.

There are clues though that the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom and Australia will play a significant role in things, namely the breaking the back of the naval forces of the world (at great cost), leaving only ground forces. These countries will be spent after the Naval battles, they will be mortally wounded. Israel will be left alone to defend themselves.

Allegedly this is where God's forces directly step in, at the pass near the ancient town of Armegeddon. By the end of the day, the carrion will be picking at the bones of the dead soldiers, and to them it will be a feast.

Prior to that, plagues must occur and 1/3rd of the world's population must die. A leader must spring forward and take control of the entire world (absolute control). He must be set up as a god like being. Everything is supposed to be rosy for 3 1/2 years, then go crazy for another 3 1/2 years.

This makes perfect sense, since Lucifer thinks man is nothing more than monkeys. He hates man. Destroy God's prized possession. Make them turn on eachother and annhialate to the last human.

See Devils and demons are not the strongest force on earth or in the universe. Aside from God, Man is (or corporial sentient beings, if you fancy others out there, like us). Fallen angels are simply more intelligent than we are. And all angels are only over us for a time.

The problems in the middle east are nothing. It is about to become very interesting times.

Mark my words.

Well Q...you have your version of the future, and I have mine. We'll just have to wait and see and watch all the carnage...if there is any. I'm sure it'll all be sponsored by the major auto makers, soft drink bottlers, and snack food purveyors. But some have been known to say..." The revolution ain't gonna be on TV !"

WHAT FUN !

flow....:cool:
 
Well man certainly has the ability and the stupidity to do it. The arms industry would think all their birthdays had come at once. If we could just all kill each other and leave the planet for the rest of the animal kingdom that would be just fine. All we're doing in the meantime is wiping out species on a daily basis and treating the planet like a disposable toilet.

Gog of Magog is identified as Satan the Devil in his debased position since 1914. As a spirit creature, he cannot carry out his attack directly, but he will use human agencies to do his deeds. Who will these human agencies be? The Bible does not give us details, yet it does give us certain indications that can help us to identify who they will be. As world events unfold in fulfillment of Bible prophecies, we will gradually get an ever clearer picture. Jehovah’s people avoid speculation but remain spiritually alert, fully aware of political and religious developments that fit into the framework of the fulfillment of Bible prophecy.

It's not my "version". I didn't invent it and I don't want it. And I find your cynicism to be trite, and misalligned. In fact it is quite rude.

Someone has got to push your "grow up" button, since you can't seem to reach it yourself...

Q:

Thanks Dad, but why ? It's awfully hard to be creative when you're all growed up. My life has been built around being creative and I enjoy it.

Oh, I forgot to add that someone famous that you know well once said that we were to view the world as children. I work very hard to do that each day, and I'm a Dad also.

flow....:cool:

No He didn't. Not even close to what He said. And I'm not your dad...

How does Jehovah view opposition directed toward his people during the time of final conquest? As directed actually against him and against his reigning King. "He that is touching you is touching my eyeball," says Jehovah. (Zechariah 2:8) many have been misinformed about who Gods people are, and there is always opposition to Gods people and Gods purpose for the earth, so Gods people are not surprised by this they know that this will be the case . but many righthearted ones have not been misled , and they put themselves on the side of the reigning king Jesus christ , because it is the only way to peace on the earth .
(Ezekiel 38:18) "‘And it must occur in that day, in the day when Gog comes in upon the soil of Israel,’ is the utterance of the Sovereign Lord Jehovah, ‘that my rage will come up into my nose.
(Revelation 19:19) And I saw the wild beast and the kings of the earth and their armies gathered together to wage the war with the one seated on the horse and with his army.

(Psalm 2:2) The kings of earth take their stand And high officials themselves have massed together as one Against Jehovah and against his anointed one, ...............we can only stand still and see the salvation of Jehovah but we need to be on the right side to have Gods favour , bible prophecy is now well along in these the last days , being on the right side of Jehovah is the place to be. do not let others mislead you into thinking that Jehovah is not the true God . because they will not stand in the day of Jehovah . Faithfulness leads to great blessings and on to everlasting life . and Jehovah loves all humans ,
For God loved the world so much that he gave his only-begotten Son, in order that everyone exercising faith in him might not be destroyed but have everlasting life. John 3;16 Jesus is now a reining king in the newly established heavenly kingdom goverment Daniel 2;44 daniel 7;13-14 we need to have our symbolic palm branches in our hands welcoming Jesus as our king and then we will be on the right side ... revelation 7;9-10
Gog’s attack will cause God’s enthroned King to take action and wage the war of Armageddon. (Revelation 16:14, 16)
 
Nary a lifetime has gone by since Ezekial...and certainly since Jesus, that among the living weren't those who pointed to the 'signs' and prophecied the end being imminent. And in those hundred generations of those thousand prophecies, and to the chagrin of hundreds of thousands of believers...it has not come to pass.

Today is no different, the calculators and prognosticators are interpretting the events of the day to be of biblical proportion and yet again fortelling the end is near.

Odd are our great great granchildren's great great grandchildren will run into the same stories and be having the same discussions.

You know what? For the first time since I've met your aquaintence, I can say with absolute certainty...you are wrong. God and Magog are land and city. They are ancient places (they were ancient when the bible was first penned). The people of that land and city were ruthless warriors. Their decendants are still there. They must rule all, it is in their blood.

Here is how it will happen. The Arabs will coerce Gog and Magog into fighting. Only the Arabs will be devistated by the angry people of Gog. Then they will turn on the land of Israel, only their flanks will be embattled by the 200 million man army, who's government intends to rule the earth. There will be a battle, and in the middle of that battle, something happens, and it is over in one day. Israel will still be intact, but the other countries of the world will be laid low.

Why do I think this? Since every prophecy in the Bible has so far come true, I can't but consider that the final episode in man's life on earth will also come true. It's called the laws of probability, based on past performance. Anything over 60 percent is a good bet...the bible is running at 100 percent so far.

You, Mee are going to be in for a rude awakening, when the 144,000 do not include you or any of your fellow believers. 12,000 virgin males from each of the twelve tribes of Israel will be the enthroned ones. There is a reason for that. They must be pure. They must be virgin. They must be young. They will show the world, where the other eleven tribes disbursed to. It might be your next door neighbor's kid. But it won't be you or me.

At the time of Jesus' coming, all will bend knee and admit "thou art Lord, God".

And there is good news for you though. Jehovah will be there...His name is Jesus.

Anyway, I'm done with the soap box dissertation.

Nix nix river styx. The world never had a nuclear bomb before 60 years ago. There are five nations (that we know of) that can lay this entire planet to waste inside of 60 minutes. And no one can stop them (not even the mighty United States of America).

and that didn't stop Paul and the people of Jesus's time believing that his return would be in their lifetime...or every lifetime since. When gun powder was invented it was thought that the carnage was so bad that surely this was it...same for the machine gun...and now we have the nuclear bomb. What was it Oppenhiemer said when asked after the first nuke test, if this was the first time? "Well err... I suppose in our lifetime."

He said, "we have let loose the genie from the bottle, and we'll never be able to put it back again...

Both are actual quotes...only two of many. (your quote has been repeated lately in relaton to GE foods and GMOs, and also the blessing of utilizing waste nuclear products for cold pasteurization, aka irradiation, oh yay)
