Descendants of Gog & Magog Join Russia, Iran in Joint Military Drill
December 3, 2019
“O mortal, turn your face toward Gog of the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal. Prophesy against him.” (Ezekiel 38:2)
Iran announced last week that they will, for the first time, hold joint war drills with China, and Russia. One rabbi, an end-of-days expert, stated that this will bring together all the elements “to end all of history.”
Rear Admiral Hossein Khanzadi announced last week that the maneuvers will be held in the northern Indian Ocean from December 22 to January 20. …
Last month, the commander of U.S. Central Command opined that a major Iranian attack is “very possible.” The U.S. dispatched an aircraft carrier and tens of thousands of pounds of military equipment and artillery to the Persian Gulf region in response to these potential Iranian threats.
One interpretation of the Bible has Russia at the head of the multi-national army of the pre-Messiah War of Gog and Magog. Rabbi Haim Shvili, a 20th-century Jewish mystic wrote a book of predictions concerning the Messiah in 1935. Remarkably, Rabbi Shvili understands the prophet Ezekiel to foresee the War of Gog and Magog as being launched by a Russian-led coalition.
O mortal, turn your face toward Gog of the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal. Prophesy against him Ezekiel 38:2
Rabbi Shvili understood the Hebrew word in the verse, rosh (chief) as identifying Russia to be the leader of the Gog and Magog coalition. …
The Bible explicitly identifies Iran’s role in the War of Gog and Magog. …
Iran is the modern incarnation of Persia.
It is interesting to note that some Medieval Christian travelers to China reported the Mongol belief that their nation was descended from Magog. The Mongolian Empire once included sections of Russia, China, and North Korea. …
Rabbi Pinchas Winston, an expert in Jewish eschatology and author of many books on the subject, noted that this military exercise will bring together many elements that are predicted to be part of the final pre-Messiah War of Gog and Magog. …
“Every day, the potential for Gog and Magog grows greater. The global pie is shrinking and the populace is increasing. As this phenomenon grows, selfishness gets unbridled and greed rules the world. People are grabbing what they can while they can. Battle lines are being drawn. … History is coming to an end,” the rabbi warned. “The secular world sees time as an endless cycle but the Bible repudiates all that. The Jewish perspective has a definite end-point. That is what the concept of Messiah comes to teach us.” https://www.breakingisraelnews.com/140996/descendants-gog-magog-join-russia-iran-joint-military-drill/
Yes, Rosh is Russia. Yes, Persia is Iran. Yes, China and Mongolia are expected to be involved in the Gog and Magog confederation.
But Ezekiel 38 war involving Gog and Magog is NOT pre-Messianic.
First of all, the Messiah has already came. For proof, check out the free online book: Proof Jesus is the Messiah.
Second of all, the timing is not until well AFTER Jesus’ second coming (cf. Revelation 20:7-8). For scriptural details, check out the article: Ezekiel 38: For Russia & Iran in Our Day?
BIN also had the following article:
Erdoğan’s Top Adviser Calls for ‘Islamic Army for Palestine’: Threatens to Bomb Israel
December 3, 2019
A senior adviser to Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said last week that it was “not possible” for the Islamic world to give up on Jerusalem, and called for the creation of an Islamic “army for Palestine.”
Retired Turkish general Adnan Tanriverdi, the founder of Turkish security firm SADAT International Defense Consulting and a chief adviser to Erdoğan, …
In his speech, Tanriverdi “emphasized that it was not possible for the Islamic world to give up on Jerusalem,” and said that “Israel governed 85 percent of Palestinian land,” according to a report by Turkey’s state-run Anadolu Ajansi news agency.
“The Islamic world should prepare an army for Palestine from outside Palestine. Israel should know that if it bombs [Palestine] a bomb will fall on Tel Aviv as well,” said Tanriverdi according to the report. https://www.breakingisraelnews.com/141013/erdogans-top-adviser-calls-for-islamic-army-for-palestine-threatens-to-bomb-israel/
Notice that BIN tied Turkey and the call for a Palestinian army in with the prophecy of Gog and Magog.
Yet, neither Turkey nor the Palestinians are about to the start of the “war of Gog and Magog.” Let me also add that Turkey is NOT biblical Togarmah (which is mentioned in Ezekiel 38:6) as some Protestant prophecy watchers claim (details are in the article: Turkey in Prophecy).
Regarding Ezekiel 38, Gog, and Magog, the Continuing Church of God (CCOG) put together the following video on our Bible News Prophecy YouTube channel:
Here is a link to the sermonette video: Ezekiel 38 Gog and Magog War: Is it Soon?
Ezekiel 38 is NOT for our time.
Believe the Bible and its prophecies, NOT the view of Jewish, Messianic Jewish, or Protestant teachers when they are in conflict with scripture.

Ezekiel 38 Gog and Magog War: Is it Soon? In April and September 2018, there were meetings involving top leaders of Russia, Iran, Syria, and Turkey. Some Protestant prophecy watchers have suggested that the meeting of these leaders could be a prelude to what is known as the Gog and Magog war as discussed in Ezekiel 38. Some have claimed that this battle must take place before ‘Armageddon’ and before Jesus returns. Some have wondered if the Gog/Magog war is Armageddon. Some believe that the existence of the modern State of Israel means the fulfillment of Ezekiel 38 is soon. Is that possible? Does the modern state of Israel currently meet the criteria needed for Ezekiel 38 to be fulfilled? While many agree that the lands occupied by Russia and Iran are involved, are assertions about Turkey being identified as Togarmah possible or in serious error? Will the Gog/Magog war be soon or is it for a time far into the future? Dr. Thiel addresses these issues and more in this video
