In the last post, I showed the Mark of the Beast and what it means. It’s obvious. But, there are also some less obvious things that support that interpretation. God has revealed the nations who will send forces to fight along-side Gog against Israel. Although they’ve expanded since Ezekiel’s time, their roots are are all Islamic today. _{^{See Ezekiel 38}}

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Ezekiel%2038&version=NIV It continues in Ezekiel 39: https://ref.ly/Eze39

To help translate the ancient names of the Ezekiel 38-39 nations to the modern ones, here are a bunch of maps from old Bibles.

See post 13 to see how the Bible shows that Magog spread the farthest and widest.

13.The Scarlet Beast

The maps show the territories where the tribes were strongly established:

The word of the Lord came to me:  “Son of man, set your face against Gog, of the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshek and Tubal; prophesy against him  and say: ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: I am against you, Gog, chief prince of Meshek and Tubal.  I will turn you around, put hooks in your jaws and bring you out with your whole army—your horses, your horsemen fully armed, and a great horde with large and small shields, all of them brandishing their swords.  Persia, Cush and Put will be with them, all with shields and helmets,  also Gomer with all its troops, and Beth Togarmah from the far north with all its troops—the many nations with you. (Ezekiel 38:1-6 NIV)

Tubal, Meshech, Gomer and Beth-Togarmah are all rooted in/from Asia Minor/Anatolia according to the maps at the back of Bibles. That’s modern day Turkey. Magog, also shown in Turkey, was the dominant son of Japheth, the precursor of the Caucasian groups who were described as ‘the conquering ones’ who will spread far and wide. That makes perfect sense since Gog is a title of the Antichrist. I don’t confine Magog to Turkey, but it’s important to know where the roots are.

https://biblehub.com/ezekiel/38-2.htm.

The prophesy Balaam made to Balak, made it clear that the great true Messiah of the Israelites will ultimately conquer Gog

The Gog Magog War seems to lead into the Armageddon War, but likely with a short pause for a false peace to be setup in order to establish the worlds submission to Gog. So be it if Israel will be burning weapons into the Millennial Kingdom; We’ll be there!

The brief peace refers to the time in verses 10-14 https://ref.ly/Eze38

Therefore, son of man, prophesy and say to Gog: ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: In that day, when my people Israel are living in safety, will you not take notice of it? You will come from your place in the far north, you and many nations with you, all of them riding on horses, a great horde, a mighty army. Ezek. 38 14-15

Twice the term ‘far north’ was used.

The Hebrew word for ‘far’ מִיַּרְכְּתֵ֣י literally means: ‘flank, side, extreme parts, recesses. (Strongs # H3411)

NASB: rear, remote parts, remotest parts, recesses, remote part, extreme rear, far

KJV: border, coast, part, quarter, side

The Hebrew word for ‘north’ צָפוֹן (pronounced ‘tsaphon’) means: hidden, i.e. dark; used only of the north as a quarter ‘gloomy and unknown’ (Strongs # H6828)

‘Above’ is also an established meaning of צָפוֹן (‘tsaphon’). It’s missing from Strongs so here’s a snip on ‘north’ from Duck- :

The Hebrew word צָפוֹן (tsaphon) is the term that can mean both ‘north’ and is associated with the concept of being ‘above’ in certain contexts.

Above: In some contexts, it can imply a position that is higher or above, reflecting a metaphorical or spatial relationship.

The crucial spiritual meaning of North

What does north mean in the Bible?

https://bibledictionarytoday.com/words/north/

Gog does not necessarily derive from a nation due North of Israel, since ‘far north’ can mean: an extremely remote, far away, dark, hidden, even mysterious place; And that may include far away in time and even far above, such as from the Mount of the Assembly _{^{(where the angelic principalities that rule through the Kings/leaders on Earth the spiritual world convene).}}

The following passage uses both words and makes the spiritual point:

Isaiah 14: 13-14 _^NKJV

For you have said in your heart:
‘I will ascend into heaven,
I will exalt my throne above the stars of God;
I will also sit on the mount of the congregation
On the farthest sides of the north;

I will ascend above the heights of the clouds,
I will be like the Most High.’

Therefore, consider that Gog may even be a spiritual entity, such as a principality, who controls various Kings

By the time Jacob’s Trouble/The Day of The Lord begins, the world will be situated for the preliminary Gog coalition, which might have already been formed by then. Gog will lead Satan’s triad.

Unraveling Revelation: Rise of the Mahdi:

Regarding Russia: None of the other territories in Ezekiel 38 are identified by homonyms or nations that didn’t exist when the Old Testament was written. They’re always referred to by their ancient names. Why should ‘rus’ mean Russia when the word actually means ‘chief’ which fits the meaning of the verse perfectly. Nevertheless, Russia will most likely be involved via the expansion of Meshech, Tubal, Gomer and/or Beth Togarmah, any of which could have produced clans that expanded to the Arctic Circle.

25.2 Glory God Beyond

I should point out that the above map may overemphasize the northern African territories while under representing the possible extent of the ‘stan’ nations in central Asia, which may have been encompassed by the word ‘Persia’ in the Ezekiel 38. prophesy.

The ‘Russia idea’ has gone viral historically.

It was difficult to even find that map online, because the ‘Russia idea’ went viral centuries ago. I agree that Russia already has reasons to support the currently forming Gog coalitions as well as the final Gog led war at Armageddon, as will all the nations of the world; Russia may even lead it, but not because the word transliterated as ‘rus’ means Russia, but because Russia is considered to be Caucasian of the sons of Japheth. see below Putin is very involved with the WEF, but the Gog coalition is Islamic at its core, and its hatred is supernatural. It’s against the true God Himself, the God of the Bible; And by extension, it’s against all His chosen people, the Israelites, all saints who follow the true Jewish Messiah Jesus Christ and the God Man Himself.

Ezekiel 38 references Gog Magog, etc. (focus on Magog) https://alephtav.blog/ezekiel-38-references-gog-magog-etc/

25.3 Glory God Beyond

The Extent of ‘Persia’

About the territories in the Ezekiel prophesy, as regards to Persia: I’m not at all denying that the Shia Islamic country of modern day Iran is the core of the Persia mentioned in Ezekiel 38. I’m just realizing that the prophesied ‘Persia’ may or may not be confined just to the borders modern country Iran. That’s because the ‘Persian Empire’ included many territories that are Islamic today such as the: 5 Central Asian Nations – Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan; 2 South Asian Nations – Afghanistan and Pakistan, 3 Middle Eastern Nations – Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, and the Eastern European Nation of Azerbaijan. Even if Ezekiel’s was using the word ‘Persia’ to refer only to the territory confined by the borders that were present at the time in which he actually lived, before the Persia Empire expanded, its borders, although that’s possibly closer to the borders of today’s Islamic country of Iran, it still won’t match exactly. I’m not even saying they need to match exactly, just that we should also pay some attention to the greater area. Iran’s not only financing terrorists in Lebanon, Syria and Yemen, There have been alliances in the making between Sunni and Shia nations; One example has been an on and off alliance with Turkey, showing that the same could also happen with the stan nations.

25.4 Glory God Beyond

This map includes the stan nations.

God Almighty has presented us with continuous stories of ‘peoples’ who are linked with certain ‘territories’ going back to the post flood tribes. Their subsequent stories being told through their interactions with the 12 Tribes of Jacob (Israel), in relation to their allotted land within the Levant; And there’s been a very special emphasis on the ancient ‘Iranian peoples.’

Take a look at these Wikipedia articles, they were real eye openers to me!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ancient_Iranian_peoples and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medes.

25.5 Glory God Beyond

At the time of my writing this, soon after October 7th ’23, out of all the currently existing states in the world, (especially the ones that were formerly part of the Persian Empire and the ones that were formerly part of the Ottoman Empire) . . .

. . . the states that were making the harshest official statements against Israel, in the early weeks after the Hamas attack were: Iraq, Iran, Turkey, Kuwait, Jordan, Afghanistan, Lebanon, Syria, Tajikistan, Egypt and Sudan.

The following are the nations that either never recognized Israel or have suspended or withdrawn their recognition: Algeria, Libya, Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Kuwait, Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan and Pakistan.

Turkey will likely be next, as the grass roots reactions against Israel in Turkey is much, much worse than that in Iran. Erdogan has been calling Israel’s actions genocide.
