We need to understand that prophecy, looking forward, is like looking through a fog. The major points are reasonably clear, but the details are difficult to discern. The closer we get to the events, the more clear the details become. Looking back the details become absolutely clear and we see that only God could have predicted them with such accuracy. The views expressed in this broadcast are the views of Walid Shoebat and are not necessarily those of Fortress of Faith. I don't say this, not to discredit his views, but to say that there may be some details that we disagree with. I want to emphasize that what Walid has to say is well worth listening to and studying out for yourself. Some of the things we will be looking at today may be completely new to some of you. You may even take issue with some things you will hear. That is fine. We are trying to discern the details of some pretty cryptic language. We, in America, look at prophecy through the filter of our western culture. As Walid talks to us about prophecy, he is looking at it through his middle eastern culture. We need to remember that the Bible is a middle eastern book. Listen carefully to the broadcast and then take some time to search the Scriptures to see what fits. If you find some things that you don't think fits do as when you eat chicken, eat the meat and spit out the bones. The most important thing is to listen with an open mind and don't reject something just because it is different from what you have been talk. Remember, much of prophecy is written in symbolic language, and symbols can me seen differently by different people. SEGMENT ONE Walid Shoebat has established himself as an expert on Bible prophecy. As you will see, he has put countless hours into his study of this subject. First we want to look at the subject of the Antichrist. Each time Bible mentions the Antichrist it mentions the rejection of Jesus Christ as the Messiah. Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time. They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us. But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things. I have not written unto you because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and that no lie is of the truth. Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son. Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: (but) he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also. 1 John 2:18-23 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world. 1 John 4:3 For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist. 2 John 1:7 Many people make the Catholic Church the Antichrist system. In spite of all of the errors of the Catholic Church, one thing that it gets right is the deity of Christ. It teaches that He is God, that He came and took on humanity (flesh), and that He is the Messiah (Christ). All of these are denied by Islam. The denial of these things are essential to Islam. The first error that we make is trying to prove the case for Catholicism is to find the similarities. You must also look at the differences. There are many differences between Rome and Antichrist. Here are some of the differences between the Catholic system and the Antichrist system: • The denial of Christ (Messiah, God) coming in the flesh • The denial of the fatherhood of God • The Antichrist system comes from the north – Rome is west and Turkey is north When you make Turkey the beast (Antichrist) system and Arabia the harlot everything fits. Pergamos, which is in Turkey is where Satan's seat is. And to the angel of the church in Pergamos write; These things saith he which hath the sharp sword with two edges; I know thy works, and where thou dwellest, even where Satan's seat is: and thou holdest fast my name, and hast not denied my faith, even in those days wherein Antipas was my faithful martyr, who was slain among you, where Satan dwelleth. Revelation 2:12-13 The Bible talks about north, east, and south, but not the west. How could Rome be the Antichrist system? The Antichrist shall honor a god of war (forces): But in his estate shall he honour the God of forces (KJV Marginal notes: or munitions): and a god whom his fathers knew not shall he honour with gold, and silver, and with precious stones, and pleasant things. Daniel 11:38 Islam claims not to worship men, but it does. It worships Muhammad, for example. Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. 2 Thessalonians 2:4 Muhammad is called: • The savior • The glowing lamp, or the light of the world • He is the first and the last • Muhammad means “the praised one” • Muhammad is given a name after the name of Allah The Antichrist comes out of the great sea. In the Bible this is always the Mediterranean sea. This tells us that the Antichrist will come out of the Mediterranean region. Special Package Understanding Islam Only $15 plus S&H ORDER HERE SEGMENT TWO Who is the Mahdi, the Islamic messiah? The concept of Mahdi is essential to being a Muslim. He is called by Muhammad the peacock of all angels. The Bible describes Lucifer as a beautiful angel. Lucifer is also refered to as a man. They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider thee, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms; Isaiah 14:16 Saudi Arabia matches prophecy perfectly. In Saudi Arabia they have the tallest building in the world that is used for religious purposes. It is sometimes called “the tower of Babel.” This tower sits upon Mt. Babel. Al-Sharq Al-Awasat, the prominent Middle East Newspaper, even names it as such “Mount Babel,”: this to say about the massive project that was completed in Mecca: “The project Towers Of The House is the first project in Mecca … which carry seven towers … “Towers Of The House” is on the area of Mount Babel in Ajyad. The site overlooks directly on the Haram al-Sharif (Holy House [Ka’ba]).” “is also the largest tower in the world in terms of area. Contractor Bin Laden Group, Saudi Arabia … Classified as the largest building urban in terms of the total area on the face of the globe, where excess space land for the project 1.4 million square meters and consists of 7 towers”. Instead of waiting to see how the biblical verses regarding “Mystery Babylon” is fulfilled, many ill-informed westerners for centuries attributed the prophetic verses to the Vatican. Revelation talks about a beast with a woman sitting upon it: So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. Revelation 17:3 In the Bible the word name often means a title. Jesus has a name (title) King of kings and Lord of lords. The Kaba is decked out as a harlot in scarlet. Surprisingly the Muslim world hates Saudi Arabia. They hate it because it lives in luxury. She is able to live in this luxury because the kings of the earth commit harlotry with her because of their need of oil. In prophecy when we see Christ fighting nations, they are always Muslim nations. The black stone in Mecca is a meteor which fell out of the sky. In Acts 19 this is called and image. And when the townclerk had appeased the people, he said, [Ye] men of Ephesus, what man is there that knoweth not how that the city of the Ephesians is a worshipper of the great goddess Diana, and of the image which fell down from Jupiter? Acts 19:35 Evangelizing Muslims Course Only $20 plus S&H ORDER HERE SEGMENT THREE Is the Vatican, or the Catholic system the false prophet? Catholicism worships a woman, Mary. Islam hates women. Remember that there is enmity between the seed of Satan and the woman. And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.

  • “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.

  • 1 Genesis 10-‐11 Study ID#12ID1337 Alright, Shall We Open Our Bibles
    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.

  • The Tubal Figure in Early Modern Iberian Historiography, 16Th and 17Th Century
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Revistes Catalanes amb Accés Obert THE TUBAL FIGURE IN EARLY MODERN IBERIAN HISTORIOGRAPHY, 16TH AND 17TH CENTURY MATTHIAS GLOËL UNIVERSIDAD CATÓLICA DE TEMUCO CHILE Date of receipt: 16th of May, 2016 Final date of acceptance: 13th of September, 2016 ABSTRACT This study is dedicated to the use of the biblical figure Tubal in early modern Iberian chronicles. The focus will be centered on how it is used in different ways in the different kingdoms (Castile, Aragon, Catalonia, Valencia, Portugal and the Basque Provinces and Navarre) and what the authors are trying to achieve through this. Results show that while Castilian authors try to prove Spanish antiquity with the Tubal settlement, in other kingdom, especially in Catalonia, Portugal and Navarre there is a more regional use of the myth. Most of these authors try to prove that their own kingdom is the territory where Tubal settled, which would give a pre-eminence of antiquity to it in comparison to the other Iberian territories.

  • Nicholas M. Railton Gog and Magog: the History of a Symbol
    EQ 75:1 (2003),23-43 Nicholas M. Railton Gog and Magog: the History of a Symbol Dr Nicholas Railton is lecturer in German at the University of Ulster. He has published books on the history of the Evangelical Alliance (The German Evangelical Alliance and the Third Reich, 1998; No North Sea. The Anglo-German Evangelical Network in the Middle of the Nineteenth Century, 2000) and articles on Christian responses to the Third Reich. Key words: Bible; Gog; Magog; symbolism. World politics, like the history of Gog and Magog, are very confused and much disputed. (Winston Churchill, 9 November 1951). Introduction Gog from the land of Magog, one of the great enemies of the people of God to appear at the end of the historical process, has vexed and bewildered exegetes for centuries. The prophet Ezekiel seems to speak of an unrepentant nation and its head and communicates God's impending judgement (Ezekiel 38:1-3, New American Stan- dard Bible) : .. And the word of the Lord came to me saying, 'Son of man, set your face toward Gog of the land of Magog, the prince of Rosh, Meshech and Tubal and prophesy against him and say, "Thus says the Lord God, 'Behold, I am against you, 0 Gog, prince of Rosh, Meshech and Tubal.'"' An examination of the historical development of this eschatologi­ cal idea, this Feindbild, will introduce us to the never-ending attempts to decipher these millennial foes inhabiting the areas to the far north of Palestine. This brief survey shows how the desire to interpret the signs of the times and understand the period in which one is living can, and usually has entrenched religious believers in an inflexible, nationalistic and self-righteous mind-set.

  • Ezekiel Week 20 the Defeat of Gog Chapter 38-39
    Ezekiel Week 20 The Defeat of Gog Chapter 38-39 Introduction Chs 38–39 Answers this question: Will God’s “servant David,” the one King of one nation, actually rule forever and put into effect an everlasting covenant (37:22–26), or will sinister forces combine to destroy His reign of peace? In order to allay fears for all time, God shows Ezekiel the very end of time. A literalistic interpretation of such prophecies, which identifies the foes with individual nations on the historical scene, is not only highly speculative but also does violence to biblical imagery.1 The Identity of Gog The biblical Gog is no mere historical figure, but rather a fear-inducing figure of cosmic proportions; and to make matters worse, he is not alone. He is the commander-in-chief (neśîʾ rōʾš) of a coalition of forces gathered from the ends of the earth. He himself is from the land of Magog, and he rules over Meshech-Tubal. His allies include Persia, Cush, and Put (38:5), along with Gomer and Beth Togarmah (38:6). It is no coincidence that together these make up a total of seven nations, and it is significant that they are gathered from the uttermost parts of the world known to the prophet. Meshech-Tubal, Gomer, and Beth Togarmah come from the north, Put (northwest Egypt) and Cush (southern Egypt) from the south and west, while Persia is to the east of Judah.2 One interesting interpretation identifies Gog as a cryptogram for Babel or Babylon. This identification bears some consideration, especially since Babylon was omitted from the nations mentioned in the messages of judgment of 25:1–32:32.

  • The Prophecy That Is Shaping History
    The Prophecy That Is Shaping History: New Research on Ezekiel’s Vision of the End Jon Mark Ruthven, PhD Ihab Griess, PhD Xulon Press 11350 Random Hills Drive #800 Fairfax, Virginia 22030 Copyright Jon Mark Ruthven © 2003 In memoriam Pamela Jessie Ruthven PhD, LCSW 26 March 1952 – 9 April 2001 Wife, mother, and faithful friend i Preface Great events in history often gather momentum and power long before they are recognized by the experts and commentators on world affairs. Easily one of the most neglected but powerfully galvanizing forces shaping history in the world today is the prophecy of Gog and Magog from the 38th and 39th chapters of the book of Ezekiel. This prophecy from the Jewish-Christian Bible has molded geo-politics, not only with- in the United States and the West but also, to an amazing degree, in the Muslim world as well. It seems that, millennia ago, Ezekiel’s vision actually named the nation which millions today believe plays the major role in this prophecy: the nation of Russia. Many modern scholars have dismissed Ezekiel’s Gog and Magog prophecy as a mystical apocalypse written to vindicate the ancient claims of a minor country’s deity. The very notion of such a prediction—that semi-mythical and unrelated nations that dwelt on the fringes of Israel’s geographical consciousness 2,500 years ago would, “in the latter days,” suddenly coalesce into a tidal wave of opposition to a newly regathered state of Jews—seems utterly incredible to a modern mentality. Such a scenario, the experts say, belongs only to the fundamentalist “pop religion” of The Late, Great Planet Earth and of TV evangelists.

  • Revisiting Genesis 5 and 11: a Closer Look at the Chronogenealogies
    Andrews University Seminary Studies, Vol. 53, No. 2, 253-277. Copyright © 2015 Andrews University Seminary Studies. REVISITING GENESIS 5 AND 11: A CLOSER LOOK AT THE CHRONOGENEALOGIES BERNARD WHITE Busan, South Korea The genealogies of Gen 5 and 11 are unique in the Scripture record. Gerhard Hasel’s term chronogenealogy captures a major aspect of that uniqueness: they are genealogies with a major chronological component.1 By including ages at the birth of each named son, the number of years each individual lived after begetting that son, and the stated or implied total years of life for each individual, the two genealogies appear to provide a means by which to calculate the approximate number of years from Adam to Abraham.2 For 1Gerhard F. Hasel, “Genesis 5 and 11: Chronogenealogies in the Biblical History of Beginnings,” Origins 7.1 (1980): 23–37; “The Meaning of the Chronogenealogies of Genesis 5 and 11,” Origins 7.2 (1980): 53–70. Hasel’s term seems to have been adopted only by those inclined to accept a prima facie chronological intent of the two genealogies. See, for example, Jonathan Sarfati, “Biblical Chronogenealogies,” TJ 17.3 (2003): 14-18; Travis R. Freeman, “The Genesis 5 and 11 Fluidity Question,” TJ 19.2 (2005): 83–90. Chronological data is occasionally found in other genealogical material (Ex 6:16, 18, 20; 1 Chron 2:21); the significance of these ‘rarities’ will be explored at a later point in this paper. 2Bishop Ussher famously did just that—with injudicious precision!—in the mid-seventeenth century. But it is a pity that his name alone is so often cited in this respect, with the implication that using the chronological details of Gen 5 and 11 to estimate time since creation is to follow in his steps.

  • A PROPOSED CHRONOLOGY of the TRIBULATION—Part 4
    Claysburg Bible Church Session # 12 February 20, 2020 A PROPOSED CHRONOLOGY OF THE TRIBULATION—Part 4 B. Who are the participants in the battle? 1. Gog—The Prince or leader. Ezekiel 38:2-3 2 Son of man, set thy face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him, 3 And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal: • There are three possibilities for the identity of Gog: Gog—may be a personal proper name of a specific individual. I Chronicles 5:4 4The sons of Joel; Shemaiah his son, Gog his son, Shimei his son, Gog—may be a symbolic or placeholder name or a title for a person. The Antichrist is a placeholder name for a future unknown person. Gog—may be the actual name of a demonic prince under Satan’s leadership. A prince is one who exercises control or dominion over others. Daniel 10:13 13 But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me one and twenty days: but, lo, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me; and I remained there with the kings of Persia. • Angels are assigned by God and Satan to positions of authority over nations. • Here, in Ezekiel, Gog would be a demonic angel whose dominion is the land of Magog under Satan’s leadership. Gog is an evil angel who motivates actions against God’s people by using a human being as his instrument. 2.
