The Magog Deception The Magog Deception Open your bible to Ezekiel 38. Verse 1, “And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, Son of man, set thy face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince [or the prince of the chief] of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him, And say, [...] I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal...” God is against them. “Ezekiel tells us that Gog, [referring to Magog], the nation that will lead all of the other powers of darkness against Israel, will come out of the north. Biblical scholars have been saying for generation that Gog must be Russia. What other powerful nation is to the north of Israel? None. But it didn’t seem to make sense before the Russian revolution, when Russia was a Christian country. Now it does, now that Russia has become communistic and atheistic, now that Russia has set itself against God. Now it fits the description of Gog perfectly.” The above is part of a speech given at a dinner with California legislators back in 1971 by a then future U.S. President, Ronald Regan. People can come up with and propagate all kinds of theories of who is who and what is what when they do not study God’s Word along with the history that must go along with it. I have kind of pointed that out in this series for years now. Even a former U.S. President was convinced that Russia was Gog of Magog, that they are the ones to the north. It goes on to say in verse 4, “And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws...” I referenced a silly theory of one very popular prophecy teacher’s explanation for what ‘put hooks into thy jaws’ means. He drew an imaginary line on a map from the areas that Russia took control of, Crimea and the northern Black Sea area, and made the invisible line hook around Turkey and through the Mediterranean Sea to Israel’s location. It was to represent “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...” That was his conclusion; Russia’s latest move is a sign concerning the prophecy we find here in Ezekiel 38:4. If only it was that easy. It is stupid and silly. I can’t really dignify it with anything else. It’s not worth the time of day in bringing it up, but there are some that will tune in somewhere along this series and think, “Well, I heard this...by this individual. It did make sense when I drew that imaginary line. It is kind of hooking around back to Israel.” If that is what you are going to based your understanding on, then you are really lost. It is the blind leading the blind and they all fall in a ditch together. Unless you listen to the truth, find it somewhere, you are going to stay in that ditch. I am not talking about your salvation, I am taking about your understanding of what we are to be aware of in these last days. “Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all of them with shield and helmet: Gomer, and all his bands; the house of Togarmah of the north quarters, and all his bands: and many people with thee.” Now it is not just President Ronald Regan. It is like I said, ninety-nine percent of all Christians’ geographical understanding of Gog the land of Magog is that it is present day Russia. The Native Americans of North America are called Indians, but what do these people have to do with the country of India? Absolutely nothing. Hundreds of years ago, Christopher Columbus was looking for a water passage to the country of India as a means of obtaining gold and valuable spices. When he arrived in the islands of the Caribbean, Columbus, seeing dark skinned people [like you’d see in India], called them Indians and declared his passage a success. [He thought he reached his destination and he was in India.] However, the people we call Indians were not related to the people of India [not even close] and the Caribbean Islands are a very long way from India. There has been a similar misconception in many bible prophecy books over the last 100 years. [Actually, it goes back further than one hundred years. In my opinion, it goes back two thousand years.] As previously discussed, the belief that Russia is the country from the North who is to attack Israel during the end times is a mistake. Now to preach and teach that goes against everything that’s being preached today. What else is new? We’ve pretty much done that since the beginning of the series. It goes against the grain. It goes against what is being taught in bible colleges, churches, home churches, bible study classes, you name it. It has been taught that present day Russia is Gog of Magog. Do I think that is a mistake to have that kind of an understanding, if that is what you have been taught? Yes. I will get to explaining why. Although evidence that contradicts this conclusion has become common knowledge within the academic arena, this misconception is still prevalent in end times Bible prophecy books. This misconception short circuits the proper understanding of end times Bible prophecy. Just as we know the “Indians” are not citizens of India, we will see that Russia is not the country spoken of in Ezekiel 38-39. Championed by the authors of many Bible prophecy books, the erroneous interpretation of Ezekiel 38-39 has remained the current and popular belief among many evangelical Christians who associate the Russians with Gog and Magog. This interpretation [and there is plenty wrong with this too, but...] says that sometime before the great Battle of Armageddon, there will be a Russian invasion and war with Israel. This end times Russian invasion theory is based on faulty eighteenth and nineteenth century references used to determine the identities of the ancient nation of Asia Minor (modern Turkey) which are discussed in Ezekiel 38:2-6. It has been mistakenly believed that the ancient nation of “Magog” in western Asia Minor was the ancient “tribal name” of the “Scythians,” a group of Iranian speaking nomadic tribes from Central Asia north of Iran that traveled across the Russian steppes, and came to live in the territory north of the Black Sea. Which would put it up in the Ukraine area. Just north of the Black Sea is the area that use to belong to Russia, today called Ukraine. You’ve seen in the news that Russia wants that back. There is no doubt about it. They want it back in their territory. That area is a key component that maintains their communication to the West and their oil flow (amongst other commodities) that are exported from Russia, and if that was not available they would face certain economic disasters. Then, in turn, and again in error, it has been believed that the ancient Scythians were the progenitors of the modern Russians. That is one of the biggest problems. I am not going to get that deep into it but with these eschatologists trying to figure out the people who occupied this area in the past, one of the problems they face (and that they argue all the time even in today’s present understanding) is who the ancient Scythians really were -- were they part of what we would consider modern day Russians today. Within academia today, there are no professional archeologists or historians who associate Magog with the Scythians... I am telling you right now, neither do I. I am not a professional archeologist, or historian. I just love history. I don’t label myself with any of those titles. I don’t associate Magog with the Scythians. If you do that and you are a Bible teacher, you make one of the grandest errors in an eschatological understanding of who Gog of the land of Magog is, who they were, and who they are today. The Scythians had nothing to do with it. I’ll tell you in advance (and probably tell you more in the next message), the Lost Tribes of Israel were part of the Scythians that migrated through the Caucasus Mountains between 600- 700 BC. They migrated from the area between the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea and through the Caucasus Mountains. Now some went north and eastward from the east side of the Caspian Sea also, but most of them went through the Armenian area passageway, which is now Armenia, Georgia and so forth. They are not Russians. ...or the Scythians with the Russians. National Geographic explains that a group of Scandinavian Viking traders called the Rus began the Russian state around 800 AD. It says, “The Slavs and Finns there (near today’s St. Petersburg) called them Rus, after the Finnic term for Swedes, Ruotsi... These Rus eventually founded the first Russian state centered in Kiev in today’s Ukraine, and gave their name to Russia, a cultural inconvenience the Soviet historians were compelled to dispute for decades.” The name “Rus” or “Rhus” appears in the writings of Bishop Troyes in 839 AD, and according to the 12th century document known as the Primary Chronicle the land around Kiev was named “Rus” and the inhabitants called “Russes” in 852 AD.

  • “Gog and Magog” Revelation 20:7-10; Ezekiel 38 & 39
    The Revelation of Jesus Christ “Gog and Magog” Revelation 20:7-10; Ezekiel 38 & 39 Introduction Revelation 20:1-6 presents the reality of Jesus Christ reigning over all the earth for 1000 years while Satan is locked up in the Abyss. In Revelation 20:7-10, John records the vision where Satan is released from the Abyss at the end of the Millennial Reign of Christ. Satan is then able to gather an army of rebels from all nations (“Gog and Magog”) to come against Christ in Jerusalem. This battle is referred to as the “Battle of Gog and Magog”. But there is also a battle of “Gog and Magog” mentioned in Ezekiel 38 & 39. Are these two battles the same? The Scripture makes it clear that there are two separate battles which carry the reference to “Gog and Magog”. Consideration of these battles will powerfully demonstrate that sinful men continue in their sinful rebellion against God, even after His glorious 1000-year reign of peace and prosperity. It is not surprising that God will judge those who reject His salvation through Jesus. I. The Historical Roots of Gog and Magog Gen. 10:2; Ez. 38:2,15; 39:3-9 A. Magog was a grandson of Noah (Genesis 10:2) B. The descendants of Magog settled in Europe and northern Asia (Ez. 38:2) referred to as "northern barbarians" C. The people of Magog were skilled warriors (Ezekiel 38:15; 39:3-9) II. Two Separate Battles of Gog and Magog Ez. 38 & 39; Rev. 20:7-10 A.

  • Russia's Boreal Forests
    Forest Area Key Facts & Carbon Emissions Russia’s Boreal Forests from Deforestation Forest location and brief description Russia is home to more than one-fifth of the world’s forest areas (approximately 763.5 million hectares). The Russian landscape is highly diverse, including polar deserts, arctic and sub-arctic tundra, boreal and semi-tundra larch forests, boreal and temperate coniferous forests, temperate broadleaf and mixed forests, forest-steppe and steppe (temperate grasslands, savannahs, and shrub-lands), semi-deserts and deserts. Russian boreal forests (known in Russia as the taiga) represent the largest forested region on Earth (approximately 12 million km2), larger than the Amazon. These forests have relatively few tree species, and are composed mainly of birch, pine, spruce, fir, with some deciduous species. Mixed in among the forests are bogs, fens, marshes, shallow lakes, rivers and wetlands, which hold vast amounts of water. They contain more than 55 per cent of the world’s conifers, and 11 per cent of the world’s biomass. Unique qualities of forest area Russia’s boreal region includes several important Global 200 ecoregions - a science-based global ranking of the Earth’s most biologically outstanding habitats. Among these is the Eastern-Siberian Taiga, which contains the largest expanse of untouched boreal forest in the world. Russia’s largest populations of brown bear, moose, wolf, red fox, reindeer, and wolverine can be found in this region. Bird species include: the Golden eagle, Black- billed capercaillie, Siberian Spruce grouse, Siberian accentor, Great gray owl, and Naumann’s thrush. Russia’s forests are also home to the Siberian tiger and Far Eastern leopard.

  • Gog and Magog Battle Israel
    ISRAEL IN PROPHECY LESSON 5 GOG AND MAGOG BATTLE ISRAEL The “latter days” battle against Israel described in Ezekiel is applied by dispensationalists to a coming battle against the modern nation of Israel in Palestine. The majority of popular Bible commentators try to map out this battle and even name nations that will take part in it. In this lesson you will see that this prophecy in Ezekiel chapters 36 and 37 does not apply to the modern nation of Israel at all. You will study how the book of Revelation gives us insights into how this prophecy will be applied to God’s people, spiritual Israel (the church) in the last days. You will also see a clear parallel between the events described in Ezekiel’s prophecy and John’s description of the seven last plagues in Revelation. This prophecy of Ezekiel gives you another opportunity to learn how the “Three Fold Application” applies to Old Testament prophecy. This lesson lays out how Ezekiel’s prophecy was originally given to the literal nation of Israel at the time of the Babylonian captivity, and would have met a victorious fulfillment if they had remained faithful to God and accepted their Messiah, Jesus Christ. However, because of Israel’s failure this prophecy is being fulfilled today to “spiritual Israel”, the church in a worldwide setting. The battle in Ezekiel describes Satan’s last efforts to destroy God’s remnant people. It will intensify as we near the second coming of Christ. Ezekiel’s battle will culminate and reach it’s “literal worldwide in glory” fulfillment at the end of the 1000 years as described in Revelation chapter 20.

  • J Ewish Community and Civic Commune In
    Jewish community and civic commune in the high Middle Ages'' CHRISTOPH CLUSE 1. The following observations do not aim to provide a comprehensive phe­ nomenology of the J ewish community during the high and late medieval periods. Rather 1 wish to present the outlines of a model which describes the status of the Jewish community within the medieval town or city, and to ask how the concepts of >inclusion< and >exclusion< can serve to de­ scribe that status. Using a number of selected examples, almost exclusively drawn from the western regions of the medieval German empire, 1 will concentrate, first, on a comparison betweenJewish communities and other corporate bodies (>universitates<) during the high medieval period, and, secondly, on the means by which Jews and Jewish communities were included in the urban civic corporations of the later Middle Ages. To begin with, 1 should point out that the study of the medieval Jewish community and its various historical settings cannot draw on an overly rich tradition in German historical research. 1 The >general <historiography of towns and cities that originated in the nineteenth century accorded only sporadic attention to the J ews.

    Genesis 10-11 Study ID#12ID1337 Alright, shall we open our Bibles tonight to Genesis 10. If you're just joining us on Wednesday, you're only nine chapters behind. So you can catch up, all of those are online, they are in video, they are on audio. We are working on translating all of our studies online into Spanish. It'll take awhile, but it's being done. We are also transcribing every study so that you can have a written copy of all that's said. You won't have to worry about notes. It'll all be there, the Scriptures will be there. So that's also in the process. It'll take awhile, but that's the goal and the direction we're heading. So you can keep that in your prayers. Tonight we want to continue in our in-depth study of this book of beginnings, the book of Genesis, and we've seen a lot if you've been with us. We looked at the beginning of the earth, and the beginning of the universe, and the beginning of mankind, and the origin of marriage, and the beginning of the family, and the beginning of sacrifice and worship, and the beginning of the gospel message, way back there in Chapter 3, verse 15, when the LORD promised One who would come that would crush the head of the serpent, preached in advance. We've gone from creation to the fall, from the curse to its conseQuences. We watched Abel and then Cain in a very ungodly line that God doesn't track very far.

  • Initial Stages of Two Neolithisation Models in the Lower Volga Basin
    Documenta Praehistorica XLIII (2016) Initial stages of two Neolithisation models in the Lower Volga basin Aleksandr Vybornov Samara State University of Social Sciences and Education, Samara, RU [email protected] ABSTRACT – In this paper, two groups of ancient sites located in the Lower Volga River basin are analysed. The first group is linked to the emergence of the oldest pottery in this region, which is one of the most ancient in Europe. The presence of this feature of the ‘Neolithic package’ can be dated to the middle of the 7th millenium BC. A production economy is a particular feature of the second group of sites, which can be dated to the end of the 6th millenium BC. This is one of the earliest pieces of evidence of the existence of domesticated species in Eastern Europe. These two groups of sites show the initial stages of two Neolithisation models in the Lower Volga basin. IZVLE∞EK – V ≠lanku analiziramo dve skupini najdi∏≠ na obmo≠ju spodnjega dela reke Volge. Prva skupina je vezana na pojav najstarej∏e lon≠enine na tem prostoru, ki je hkrati ena najstarej∏ih v Ev- ropi. Navzo≠nost lon≠enine, ki je del t. i. ‘neolitskega paketa’, lahko datiramo v sredino 7. tiso≠letja pr. n. ∏t. Pojav produktivnega gospodarstva je zna≠ilnost druge skupine najdi∏≠, ki jih datiramo na konec 6. tiso≠letja pr. n. ∏t. To je eden najstarej∏ih dokazov o navzo≠nosti udoma≠enih vrst ∫ivali v Vzhodni Evropi. Obe skupini najdi∏≠ predstavljata za≠etne stopnje dveh razli≠nih modelov neolitiza- cije na obmo≠ju spodnje Volge.
