War of Gog and Magog
This
is an extremely important Christian eschatological subject. It involves a war
that is to happen in “the last days”. Scholars have argued over the timing of
this event. The fact is, after the prophet Ezekial prophesied about this war it
became a reference for Israel that typified a “final battle”. It was used like
we use the phrase “World War 3 is coming”. When some wars broke out it was
wondered if the war would turn out to be the Gog & Magog event.
So, what is the war of Gog and Magog? This prophecy is found
in Ezekiel ch.38. The reference to “Gog” is a title of a leader. It means, “the
man on top”. This leader is the “chief prince” of Magog. The Hebrew word for
chief here is Rosh which we now understand is a reference to modern Russia. So,
whoever starts this war will be the leader from Russia. The Bible also
identifies him as the “king of the north”. When direction is referenced in the Bible
it is referenced with Israel at its center, thus, the king of the north (north
of Israel) is Russia.
This enemy of Israel was to come from the “uttermost north”
(Ezekiel 38:6,15; 39:2). As we read this prophecy, we begin to understand that
God was to put a “hook” in the symbolic mouth of this Russian leader and “pull”
him into conflict with modern Israel. We believe that this hook was when
President Joe Biden did nothing as Russian troops surrounded modern Ukraine.
Modern Ukraine is made up of people from the “lost ten tribes” of ancient
Israel. We have this documented in some of our articles and lectures.
This “Gog” leader is also identified as the “prince” of
Meshech and Tubal. Meshech is actually a reference to modern Moscow. The Greek
word here, Moschi, is derived from the Hebrew title, Meschech. We understand that the first phase of this war
(called Gog & Magog) is fought not over geographical, literal Israel but
instead it is first activated over the Israeli people in Ukraine, “the
mountains of Israel” (Ezekiel 38:8). This has become a safe place for many from
the “lost tribes”. No wars or walls needed to protect them. So, did the modern
leader of Russia, Putin, send troops to surround this safe people?
God says of Putin; “You will ascend, coming like a storm
covering the land like a cloud, you and all your troops and many peoples with
you. Thus says the Lord God: “On that day it shall come to pass that thoughts
will arise in your mind, and you will make an evil plan: You will say, ‘I will
go up against a land of unwalled villages; I will go to a peaceful people, who
dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor
gates.” (Ezekiel 38:9-11)
Ezekiel chapter 38 goes on to state all the modern nations
who would become involved in this issue, giving their Bible name and showing
their modern equivalent. Some examples:
Tubal – Tabloski
Rosh – Russia
Gomer – Germany
Togarmah – Turkey
Persia – Iran
Cush – Ethiopia and Sudan
Etc.
In this prophecy God informs the readers that all of this
was to happen in “the latter days” (Ezekial 38:16). As of the year 2024 we have
finished what we call the “first phase” of the war of Gog & Magog. There
are three phases to this event. This brings us up to Ezekiel 38:16. There is a
pause between all three parts of this war. We are experiencing the first
interlude. Russia has not been able to go any further in its take-over ability
and all the surrounding nations have helped to put the situation in “check”.
We urge you to watch Presbyter King’s lecture called:
“Russia in Prophecy” which is posted at the bottom of this article to get
better details. It is amazing just how much accurate knowledge that God has
given to us in these last days. If you are reading this you have been blessed
to find the Ancient Antiochene Church of God – the church that Jesus Christ
built. We were first called “Christian” in ancient Antioch (Acts 11:26), and we
are still here.
Keep your Bible with you at all times and study with us here
