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 |

EdB greetings; It just hit me, that you said lookup. I was just thinking, how many times have believers heard this and even used it, I myself being one. Yet I wonder how many actually realize what will transpire before we are actually told to look up, as in Luke 21:28? I think that we often use this as Christian jargon, at least I have, but the context of this saying is very tragic to say the least. If all would read from Luke 21:5-36, as I did, and consider the timing of this often quoted verse it would be an eye opener. Thanks for the comment, it has started me thinking. CDBJ | ||||||

CDBJ Yes for members of the "everythng is wonderful" club which many Christians insist we are entitled to belong Luke 21:2-36 paints a completely different picture of reality. EdB |

EdB; I liked your answer, that is a classic and one that I will have to remember. A lot of believers don't realize that God has promised us eternal life and it starts the moment that we believe in Jesus Christ and trust Him for our salvation. God didn't promise us a bed of roses down here but He does promise that we wouldn't be alone in out struggle through psychical life. Fox's Book of Martyrs sure makes this clear, and I think the worst is yet to come. There are actually more martyrs in this day and age then were in the days mentioned in the Book of Martyrs, according to statistics. Paul explains something to us in 2 Thes. 1:4-10 So that we ourselves glory in you in the churches of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that ye endure: 5Which is a manifest token of the righteous judgment of God, that ye may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which ye also suffer: 6Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you; 7And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, 8In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: 9Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power; 10When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day. |
