1 | Who are the Gog and Magog? | Rev 20:8 | EdB | 21241 | ||
Tim I agree with most everything you said but I wonder about your conclusion of King Gyges as being Gog. In Ezekiel 38:2 "Son of man, set your face against Gog, of the land of Magog, the prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal, and prophesy against him,” The scriptures refer to Gog as prince of the area or Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal. Many have identified Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal to be the northern Africa, and the area we call the Middle East and the parts of southern Russia, Turkey and that area. Most of what we recognize as the Islamic world or area having the highest concentration of Muslems. Many times the term “prince” in the Bible is used to talk about demonic spiritual beings cf. Daniel 10:20. I wonder if the scripture isn’t talking about Islam and spiritual force behind Islam when it is talking about Magog and Gog. Just a thought. EdB |

2 | Who are the Gog and Magog? | Rev 20:8 | Morant61 | 21275 | ||
Greetings Ed! I really don't have any personal knowledge on this issue. I consulted both the Harper Bible Dictonary and the New Bible Dictionary about Gog. Both listed the most likely identification as King Gyges. I don't think anyone knows for sure though. It was the same case with the areas of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal. No one reallys know for sure where they are. Given current events, Islam would be an interestings possiblity! :-) Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
