Now, if we multiply those numbers by nine to get the British equivalent, just imagine what we would do if a terrorist organization based as close as Calais were to fire thirty-six thousand rockets into Sussex and Kent, killing 87 British civilians, after killing seventy-two British servicemen in an ambush and capturing eighteen.
Jesus will return to stop them. What about Tarshish? Secondly, God said that He would make the descendants of Abraham into a great nation which would be God’s servant and witness in the world. And they will reign for ever and ever.
Russia is also defeated.
The major mountainous regions in Israel are across the northern part of the nation, also along the northern center half (Judea and Samaria), and in the Southern District in the Negev desert (see topographic map below). The second battle marks the beginning of Christ’s reign on earth. Whilst it is claimed that Edom disappeared into Rome when the Temple was destroyed in 70 AD, link, that is not true for the Amalekites.

Turkey will attack northwestern Syria and destroy Damascus soon. // ]]>. Over the past 100 years Israel has engineered a national water carrier system and desalination plants, and she drains water from large aquifers under the desert. [33] The Samaritan Torah and the Septuagint (a Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible made during the last few centuries of the pre-Christian era) occasionally introduce the name of Gog where the Hebrew original has something else, or use Magog where the Hebrew has Gog, indicating that the names were interchangeable. I would like to speak to you today as an historian, because it seems to me that the State of Israel has packed more history into her 62 years on the planet than many other nations have in six hundred. The Gog-Magog invasion of Israel seems imminent. Blessed are those who wash their robes. Eze 38:4-6 And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws, and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armour, even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords: 5 Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all of them with shield and helmet: 6 Gomer, and all his bands; the house of Togarmah of the north quarters, and all his bands: and many people with thee. In fact, the Hebrew word ‘cush’ and its Greek equivalent ‘Ethiopia’ are used interchangeably throughout the Bible. These wars will directly glorify the God of Israel as He openly defeats the attacking forces. The population of the United Kingdom of 63 million is nine times that of Israel. 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. On the other hand, orthodox Jews claim their historic and covenant right to the city. God uses the forces of nature against these armies; such as an enormous earthquake, pestilence and blood, and overflowing rain, great hailstones, fire, and brimstone. A future invasion of northern Israel is strongly indicated in Ezek 38 and Ezek 39. NO: The terms ‘Jerusalem’ and ‘Zion’ do not even appear in the Qur’an, and Mohammad never visited Jerusalem in person. [k][86][87], Pseudo-Methodius (7th century[88]) is the first source in the Christian tradition for a new element: two mountains moving together to narrow the corridor, which was then sealed with a gate against Gog and Magog. [7] Alternatively, Gog may be derived from Magog rather than the other way round, and "Magog" may be code for Babylon. 22 And I will plead against him with pestilence and with blood; and I will rain upon him, and upon his bands, and upon the many people that are with him, an overflowing rain, and great hailstones, fire, and brimstone. Will Israel ask Turkey for help to fight Syria in the Golan Heights? “I will be a wall of fire around her … he who touches you, touches the apple of (the Lord’s) eye” (Zech 2.5,8). Archaeology and historical documents show that Jews have lived in Israel for over 3000 years! When the Russian alliance invades Israel some nations question the motive: Sheba, Dedan, the merchants of Tarshish, and all their young lions will say to you, ‘Have you come to take plunder?
The invasion is sometimes referred to as the Gog-Magog war since it is led by “Gog of the land of Magog, the prince of Rosh, Meshech and Tubal … from out of the far north” (Ezek 38.2,15). Map of Gog: The land and cities of Magog and his brothers.
The result of such unbiblical teaching is that the institutionalized church takes the world’s view and essentially rejects modern-day Israel, and so pays little attention to end-time prophecy about Israel. This is spearheaded by the World Council of Churches (WCC) which has called on member churches (Anglican, Methodist …) to support an international boycott of Israeli settlement produce and services, link. Why? [115], Some time around the 12th century, the Ten Lost Tribes of Israel came to be identified with Gog and Magog;[122] possibly the first to do so was Petrus Comestor in Historica Scholastica (c. 1169–1173),[123][124] and he was indeed a far greater influence than others before him, although the idea had been anticipated by the aforementioned Christian of Stavelot, who noted that the Khazhars, to be identified with Gog and Magog, was one of seven tribes of the Hungarians and had converted to Judaism. Eze 38:19-22 For in my jealousy and in the fire of my wrath have I spoken, Surely in that day there shall be a great shaking in the land of Israel; 20 So that the fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the heaven, and the beasts of the field, and all creeping things that creep upon the earth, and all the men that are upon the face of the earth, shall shake at my presence, and the mountains shall be thrown down, and the steep places shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground. What are Turkish President Erdogan's plans? The signing of a seven year “peace” contract with Israel marks the beginning of “the seven year “Tribulation” (Dan 9:27). [d][16] A later corrupted folk rendition in print altered the tradition around Gogmagog and Corineus with two giants Gog and Magog, with whom the Guildhall statues came to be identified.
The invasion could be imminent given the present Russian-Iranian alliance and Iran’s declared hatred of Israel. Out of the 6.2 million Jews in Israel (2015), the demographic is: Orthodox (20%), traditional (38%), secular (42%). New immigrants embarked upon an extensive program of afforestation, and since 1900 almost 250 million sub-tropical trees have been planted in all regions of Israel. But the angel of the Lord called out to him from heaven, “Abraham! I also found Tarsus (perhaps Tarshish) on the southeastern coast. The Bible says the whole of creation, including mankind, will return to a state of paradise in the future. Ezekiel 45 and 48 provide amazing detail of a (probably new) temple – the LORDS’s sanctuary – located just north of the city area (see map). But with a rapidly growing population, Israel’s total annual renewable natural sources of fresh water are well below the UN definition of water poverty. In other words I think that we will see the Magog invasion begin very soon. Image: NielsF [CC BY-SA 3.0], Wikimedia. Lawson, M K (2004). God “pleads” with the armies. Jesus will turn back Turkey, Revelation 12 sign - September 23 Rapture, Russia and Iran are about to part ways in Syria, Russia and Iran give Turkey “safe zone” in Idlib.

If the Arabs were to put down their arms there would be no more war” [Benjamin Netanyahu, 2006], “We must constantly repeat that the root of the conflict is the very existence of the State of Israel” [Benjamin Netanyahu, 2012], “The nuclear deal with Iran does not block Iran’s path to the bomb, it paves Iran’s path to the bomb” [Benjamin Netanyahu, August 2015]. Sheba (Sheva) and Dedan were descendants of Cush (Gen 10.7), and the same two tribal names are directly linked to a much later time as offspring of Abraham, through Keturah (Gen 25.3). A common interpretation of the relevant prophecies is that the immediate future for Israel is bleak as nations attempt to eliminate her by war, link. The Torah teaches that Amalekites exist in every generation, link, and so today many Israeli’s regard their adversaries as ‘Amalek’ either in reality or in symbolism. This differs from the ‘first past the post’ system in the US and UK, and permits small parties to be elected.

And the Bible tells us that this same Jesus came into the world to show man how to live. Some claim that Russia is implied by the term ‘Rosh’ (Ezek 38.2,3 NKJV, NASB).

The battle described in Revelation is a gathering of nations against Israel like the first battle.
