The Magog (Akh·ar·ēth') Connection: Gregory Supple -
Ezekiel 38:7-8 ~ "Prepare yourself and be ready, you and all your companies that are gathered about you; and be a guard for them. After many days you will be visited:>>>
In the Latter Years (Heb. Achărîyth) you will come into the land of those brought back from the sword and gathered from many people on the mountains of Israel, which had long been desolate; they were brought out of the nations, and now all of them dwell safely."
Students of Bible prophecy have loooooong anticipated an Russian inspired military invasion into the Middle East. Early in the 20th century, prior even to Israel's rebirth on May 14th 1948, Dr. Ironside wrote:
"In the last days, the final head of the Russian people will look with covetous eyes upon the great developments in the land of Palestine. They will determine that Russia must have her part of the wealth there produced. Consequently, we have the picture of a vast army, augmented by warriors from Persia, Cush, Phut, marching down toward Palestine."
The Hebrew word: Akh·ar·ēth' - is the equivalent to the Greek word Eschatology. Determining the end from the beginning. Strong's #H319: Achărîyth - the last or end, hence, the future; also posterity: - (last, latter) end-time. Latter time (prophetic for future time).
The ONE & only God of Israel's Omniscience knows how fallen human history ends. Isaiah 46:9-10 ~ "Remember the former things of old: for I AM God, and there is none else; I AM God, and there is none like Me!!
Declaring the End (Heb. Achărîyth) from the Beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying: 'My counsel shall stand, and I will do all My pleasure:'"
Since the beginning of Time, God has always been in complete control. God is sovereign over the entire universe, and has judged Nations for their disobedience since there were Nations. Ezekiel prophesying in 6th century B.C. while exiled in Babylon foretells an end- time's battle named Magog. Wherein ELoHim Himself will determine its outcome, not favorably for Gog of Magog>
Ezekiel 38:15-16 (NJKV) ~ "Then you will come from your place out of the Far North, you and many peoples with you, all of them riding on horses, a great company and a mighty army. You will come up against My people Israel like a cloud, to cover the land.
It will be in the: Latter Days (Heb.Achărîyth) that I will bring you against My land, so that the nations may know Me, when I AM hallowed in you, O' Gog, before their eyes."
(NLT) "You will come from your homeland in the distant North with your vast cavalry and your mighty army.. and you will attack my people Israel, covering their land like a cloud. At that time in the distant future, I will bring you against My land as everyone watches, and My Holiness will be displayed by what happens to you, Gog. Then all the nations will know that I AM the LORD."
The biblical chronological sequence of the Book of Ezekiel, places the northern invasion between Israel's restoration to their land (Ezek. 37) and the millennial reign of Christ (Ezek. 40-48). Pentecost supports a similar chronology: "Chapter thirty-seven deals with the restoration of the nation Israel to her land . . . chapter forty carries us to the millennial age. Thus the movements of Gog and Magog are seen, from the context, to transpire between the time of the beginning of the restoration of Israel to the land and the millennial age."
Gog of Magog: Chief of Meshech & Tubal
Ezekiel 38:1-4 ~ (NKJV) "Now the Word of the LORD (Heb. YaHWeY) came to me, saying: 'Son of man, set your face against Gog, of the land of Magog, the (Chief) Prince (Heb. Rôʼsh) of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal, and prophesy against him.'
.. and say: Thus says the Lord GOD: 'Behold, I AM against you, O' Gog (Heb. Gôwg), the prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal. I will turn you around, put hooks into your jaws, and lead you out, with all your army, horses, and horsemen, all splendidly clothed, a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords.'"
Despite what the godless Darwinians falsely claim about human morality being derived from some monkey minded molecule. God's Word clearly tells us we're ALL one BIG happy Adam's Family. Maybe NOT so happy all the time, but Genesis Genealogies lists our Ancestors from Noah's three sons. The late great Chuck Missler of Koinonia House comments:
"Have you ever wondered why the Biblical prophets always seem to refer to various peoples by such strange names? It's actually our fault! We keep changing the names of things. There once was a city known as Petrograd. For many years it was known as St. Petersburg. Then it was changed to Leningrad. Now it's St. Petersburg again. What will it be named a few years from now? (My friends in Russia say that in Russia, even the past is uncertain!).
The capital of the old world, Byzantium, was renamed Constantinople. Now that city is known as Istanbul. But we do not change the names of our ancestors! So, if you were the prophet Isaiah and were called upon to speak of the Persians over a century before they emerged as an empire, how could you refer to them? You would speak of them as the descendants of Elam, the forebears of the Persians"
The Genesis Genealogical records of Noah and his three sons Shem, Ham, and Japheth are listed in Genesis 10, w/ the 70 original tribal groups described there are often called by Biblical scholars, The Table of Nations. Specifically, to understand the prophecies of Ezekiel 38 - 39, we need some biblical background on Gog of Magog and his evil axis alliance.
Magog was one of the sons of Japheth and his descendants are often referred to by their Greek name: the Scythians. As 1st century ancient historian Josephus Flavius documents in, Antiquities . . . Bk.1:6:1 "NOW they were the grand-children of Noah, in honour of whom names were imposed on the nations, by those that first seized upon them. Japhet, the son of Noah, had seven sons: they inhabited so, that beginning at the mountains Taurus and Amanus, they proceeded along Asia, as far as the river Tanais; and along Europe to Cadiz: and settling themselves on the lands they light upon, which none had inhabited before, they called the nations by their own names. For Gomer founded those whom the Greeks now call Galatians [Galls], but were then called Gomerites. Magog founded those that from him were named Magogites; but who are by the Greeks called Scythians."
The biblical beginning. The Table of Nations is given in Genesis 10. At the opening of this important chapter, we are confronted with the key combatant company of Ezekiel's prophecy: (Genesis 10:1, 2). "Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah: Shem, Ham, and Japheth, and unto them were sons born after the FLOOD! The sons of Japheth: Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras"
The editors of the Scofield Reference Bible published in 1909 furnished the following information concerning Ezekiel's Magog combatants: from the Table of Nations. Magog -- "From Magog are descended the ancient Scythians or Tarters, whose descendant's predominate in modern Russia."
Tubal -- "Tubal's descendants peopled the region south of the Black Sea from whence they spread north and south. It is probable that Tobolsk perpetuates the tribal name." Whose modern city Tobolsk is located in Russian, Siberia.
Meshech -- "Progenitor of a race mentioned in connection with Tubal, Magog, and other northern nations. Broadly speaking, Russia, excluding the conquests of Peter the Great and his successors, is the modern land of Magog, Tubal, and Meshech.
It is thought that Meshech started the barbaric and brutal nation of Moschi who inhabited the Moschian Mountains that connected the lands of the Caucasus to the Anti-Taurus Mountains in modern Russia. Their heads were protected by "wooden caps". And they were armed with "shields and small spears".
The name Moscow is said to have come from the term Moschi. Moschi was closely related to the nations of Tubal named Toboli in Asia Minor. Together, they were the great opponents of the ancient Assyrians for generations.
In the ancient language, describing the region of southern Russian Caucasus Mountains as Gog-chasen - meaning Fortress of Gog - Scholars suggest that Gog of Magog as the region where the name Caucasus originated, speculating was derived from Gog-chasen which translates into Greek as Gogasus. If you were to ask a Russian what he calls the heights of the Caucasus Mountains, comrade would likely say: "the Gogh."
The word translated "Chief" in Ezekiel 38:3 is "Rosh" in Hebrew. For centuries prophetic scholars have generally agreed that the word Rosh is a proper name. Thus, Rosh - was the tribal name of those dwelling in the area of the Volga in central Russia. And Rosh is the word for Russia today in some languages of the world, and often appears in that form in the headlines of newspapers.
An understanding of this truth moved Robert Lowth, Bishop of London two hundred years ago, to write: "Rosh, taken as a proper name in Ezekiel signifies the inhabitants of Scythia from whom the modern Russians derive their modern name."
Bishop Loweth and Dr. Scofield was by no means the only to come to this conclusion. In 1890, Arno C. Gaebelein wrote a book on Ezekiel. Commenting on chapters 38 and 39, he declared: "This is Russia, Moscow, and Tobolsk."
Despite Darwinian's denial of God's Word: Noah's Three Sons procreation soon turned pagan not long after the deluge. Using the ages of the patriarchs listed in Genesis who lived before the time of the flood, Ussher and modern Biblical creationists conclude that Noah's flood occurred exactly 1,656 years after the Creation, which would pinpoint the date of the flood occurring in 2348 B.C.
Just one generation removed from the deluge, Nimrod led the revolt against God. Again Josephus Flavius: Antiquities..... Bk. 1:4:2-3 "Now it was Nimrod who excited them to such an affront and contempt of God. He was the grand-son of Ham, the son of Noah: a bold man, and of great strength of hand. He persuaded them not to ascribe it to God, as if it was through his means that they were happy; but to believe that it was their own courage which procured that happiness.
He also gradually changed the government into tyranny; seeing no other way of turning men from the fear of God, but to bring them into a constant dependence on his own power. He also said, "He would be revenged on God, if he should have a mind to drown the world again: for that he would build a Tower too high for the waters to be able to reach; and that he would avenge himself on God for destroying their fore-fathers.
[About An. 2520] Now the multitude were very ready to follow the determination of Nimrod, and to esteem it a piece of cowardice to submit to God: and they built a Tower; neither sparing any pains, nor being in any degree negligent about the work.
When God saw that they acted so madly, he did not resolve to destroy them utterly; since they were not grown wiser by the destruction of the former sinners: but he caused a tumult among them, by producing in them diverse languages; and causing, that through the multitude of those languages, they should not be able to understand one another. The place wherein they built the Tower is now called Babylon: because of the confusion of that language which they readily understood before:"
Out of this tumult emerged the barbarian Magogians known as Scythians: in which Paul includes despite their savagery: Colossians 3:11 ~ "Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian - Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is ALL = and in all."
"He therefore adds to barbarian the Scythian as the extreme example." (Peake)
Herodotus, the Greek historian, whom secular historians call the Father of History wrote extensively about the descendants of Magog referencing their Greek name Scythians in the 5th Century B.C. (about 150 years after Ezekiel's 6th century B.C. prophecies). Dating as far back as the 10th century B.C. Herodotus describes them as living in territory north of the Black Sea, and they terrorized the southern steppes of Russia dating as far back as the 10th century B.C.
Herodotus wrote: "For twenty-eight years the Scythians ruled over Asia, and things were turned upside down by their violence and contempt."
There is no doubt that the practice that gave the Scythians their lasting reputation for savagery was their brutal treatment of their enemies. According to Herodotus (4.64), in the battlefield the Scythians would drink the blood of the first enemy they killed. Their practice of bringing the severed head of an enemy to their chiefs is depicted on an ornamented cup.
Herodotus also reported that the Scythians would scalp their victim and then use the scalp as a napkin! At times, they would flay the entire skin and use it or display it. The Greeks invented the word aposkythizein for the process of scalping. The Scythians would also take the top of the skull, decorate it, and use it as a drinking bowl (Her. 4.65).
Yahweh puts hooks into Gog's jaws and dares to attack Israel. Though these invading enemies of YaHWeY are lured by their own selfish desires. The ONE & only God of Israel ultimately is in control. Gog is the leader of this futile invasion of Jerusalem, who we're told by Ezekiel over 25 centuries ago invades from the Far North: if one where to draw a line directly NORTH from Jerusalem Moscow would intersect. Indicting the instigators: Rosh, Magog, Meshach, & Tubal inhabiting these northern regions.
