Today, we will discuss Gog and
Magog….
The Gog/Magog War
Timeline(Ezekiel 36-39)
© 2011 Brett Peterson
Ezekiel 36:24: “I will take you from
among the nations, gather you out of all
countries, and bring you into your own
Land.”
It is clear that this Regathering is initially
with Israel in unbelief - 1917
Thus Ezekiel 37 gives the same
sequence:
© 2011 Brett Peterson
(1) a Regathering of the scattered
dead bones of Israel (in unbelief).
(2) a spiritual Regeneration, that takes
place later (after the Abomination).
© 2011 Brett Peterson
Ezekiel 38:8,12: “In the latter years, you (the
invading armies) will come into the Land of
those brought back from the sword and
gathered from many peoples on the
mountains of ISRAEL, which had long been
desolate; they were brought out of the nations,
and now all of them dwell safely (securely)....
against a
people gathered from the nations, who have
acquired livestock and goods, who dwell in the
midst of the Land “
© 2011 Brett Peterson
Ezekiel 38 describes an invasion from the
North upon a re-gathered Israel
© 2011 Brett Peterson
WHO are the INVADERS?
Ezekiel 38:1-6: “Now the Word of the Lord
came to me, saying, Son of man, set your face
against 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,
O Gog, the Prince of ROSH, MESHECH, and
TUBAL.
© 2011 Brett Peterson
I will turn you around, put hooks into
your jaws, and lead you out, with all
your army, horses, and horsemen, all
splendidly clothed, a great company with
bucklers and shields, all of them
handling swords. PERSIA, CUSH, and
LIBYA are with them, all of them with
shield and helmet; GOMER and all its
troops; the house of TOGARMAH from
the FAR NORTH and all its troops:
MANY (other) PEOPLES (NATIONS)
are WITH YOU.”
© 2011 Brett Peterson
Remember – the Psalms 83 War will be the catalyst that
draws Russia down into the battle…
Syria is also threatening Israel and supporting the terrorists
who are waging Jihad on them.
Amos 1:3-5 States that Syria will come against Israel four
times, and then will be made desolate.
These occurred in:
1948 (1st) 1967(2nd) 1973(3rd) and the
4th appears that it could happen at any time!
Damascus is the capital of Syria. It is the oldest perpetual
city in the world! It is over 5000 years old!
© 2011 Brett Peterson
Is. 17:1 States that Damascus will be taken away from being a city and
become a ruinous heap - this has not happened yet,
but will very soon!!
Isa 17:3 "The fortified city will disappear from Ephraim, And sovereignty from
Damascus And the remnant of Aram; They will be like the glory of the sons of
Israel," Declares the LORD of hosts.
© 2011 Brett Peterson
In 1973, Israel came with 20 kilometers of Damascus - Russia stepped in and informed the
world that if they continue, it will
be world war three. If Israel had destroyed Damascus then, this prophecy could not have
been fulfilled!
Additionally, Russia is backing Damascus - when Damascus attacks Israel again, it will be
destroyed, and it will cause the
prophecies in Ez. 38 and 39 to be fulfilled - Russia, the bear of the north along with Muslim
nations will be forced to attack Israel, but God will intervene!
Russia has defied U.S. prompting to stop supporting Iran and
Syria…

They have just sold them more arms and are finalizing plans
to build a Navy port in Syria….

Assyria:

Zechariah 12:1-3: “Thus says the Lord who stretches
out the heavens lays the foundation of the earth and
forms the spirit of man within him: Behold, I will
make Jerusalem a cup of drunkenness to all the
surrounding peoples, when they lay siege against
Judah and Jerusalem.
And it shall happen in that day that I will make
Jerusalem a very heavy stone for all peoples; all who
would heave it away will surely be cut in pieces,
though all nations of the earth are gathered against
it.”

Genesis 10:2-5: “The sons of JAPHETH were
GOMER, MAGOG, Madai, Javan, TUBAL,
MESCHECH, and TIRAS (RAS). The sons of
GOMER were Ashkenaz, Riphath, and
TOGMARAH. The sons of Javan were
Elishah, TARSHISH, Kittim, and Dodanim.
From these the coastland peoples of the
Gentiles were separated into their lands,
everyone according to his language, according
to their families, into their nations.”
© 2011 Brett Peterson
GOG comes from “the Land of
MAGOG”, and is “the prince
of ROSH, MESHECH, and
TUBAL” (Ezekiel 38:2,3).
© 2011 Brett Peterson
MAGOG. The first century Roman
historian Josephus said the
"Magogites" were the peoples whom
the Greeks called "Scythians", a fierce
civilisation that settled north of the
Baltic Sea in what is now Russia and
the now mostly Islamic republics of
the former USSR, possibly also
including TURKEY.
The Greek Romantic Account of Alexander the Great’s Exploits
© 2011 Brett Peterson
According to the Romance, Alexander came to a northern land devastated by
incursions from barbarian peoples, including Gog and Magog. Alexander defends
the land by constructing the Gates of Alexander, an immense wall between two
mountains that will stop the invaders until the end times. In the Romance, these
gates are built between two mountains in the Caucasus called the "Breasts of the
World"; this has been taken as a reference to the historical "Caspian Gates" in
Derbent, Russia. Another frequently suggested candidate is the wall at the Darial
Gorge in Georgia, also in the Caucasus.

ROSH. Because ROSH means CHIEF in
Hebrew, some translations call him: ‘the
Chief Prince’ (v2,3), rather than ‘the Prince
of Rosh.’
However the ‘Rus’ were well known
people, and Gesenius says that these are
undoubtedly the Russian people, so it is
better and more natural to translate it: ‘the
Prince of Rosh.’
© 2011 Brett Peterson
Other members of this coalition are
GOMER (the ancient Cimmerians in
present day TURKEY) and TOGARMAH
(ancient ARMENIA which is mostly in
Turkey today) - v6.
So TURKEY will definitely be a major
part of this Coalition led by RUSSIA!

“From the FAR NORTH” (Ezekiel
38:6). “You will come from your
place out of the FAR NORTH’
(38:15). “I will turn you around and
lead you on, bringing you up from
the FAR NORTH, and bring you
against the mountains of Israel”
(Ezekiel 39:2).
© 2011 Brett Peterson
Therefore, the far north (“the
uttermost parts of the north”) can
only be Russia. Moscow is exactly
due north of Jerusalem.
So Russia will lead a confederacy of
nations against Israel.
© 2011 Brett Peterson
Ezekiel 38:5,6 describe other nations
along with Russia:
“PERSIA, CUSH,
and LIBYA are with them...
GOMER and all its troops;
the house of TOGARMAH....
MANY PEOPLES are WITH
YOU.”
© 2011 Brett Peterson
© 2011 Brett Peterson
(1) Significantly the first (main)
nation mentioned with RUSSIA is
PERSIA = IRAN.
(2) CUSH was the area south of
Egypt, now called SUDAN, also a
fundamentalist Islamic State, very
hostile to Israel.
© 2011 Brett Peterson
(3) PUT = LIBYA, another Islamic
State that is very anti-Israel.
(4) As we have already noted,
GOMER and TOGARMAH
represent modern day TURKEY,
which is large Muslim nation.
© 2011 Brett Peterson
*It is this turn of events in
TURKEY, along with the imminent
crisis of IRAN being close to
obtaining nuclear weapons, that
compels me to give this warning that
Ezekiel 38 could be fulfilled soon!

Eze 39:1 "And you, son of man, prophesy against Gog and say,
'Thus says the Lord GOD, "Behold, I am against you, O Gog,
prince of Rosh, Meshech and Tubal;
Eze 39:2 and I will turn you around, drive you on, take you up from
the remotest parts of the north and bring you against the mountains
of Israel.
Eze 39:3 "I will strike your bow from your left hand and dash down
your arrows from your right hand.
© 2011 Brett Peterson
Ezekiel 39:3 today,
“I will smite your launchers out of
your left hand, and cause your
missiles to fall out of your right
hand.”
© 2011 Brett Peterson
Eze 39:4 "You will fall on the mountains of Israel, you and all your
troops and the peoples who are with you; I will give you as food to
every kind of predatory bird and beast of the field.
Eze 39:5 "You will fall on the open field; for it is I who have
spoken," declares the Lord GOD.
Eze 39:6 "And I will send fire upon Magog and those who inhabit
the coastlands in safety; and they will know that I am the LORD.

Major mountains in Israel – Two major fronts to this war…
Today, all the nations are alligning exactly as the Bible said they would!

Daniel 9:27
(prior to the 70th week of Daniel – Why?....)

*After the Invasion, 7 YEARS are
needed for Israel to dismantle and
destroy the enemy weapons:
© 2011 Brett Peterson
Ezekiel 39:9,10: “Then those who dwell in the
Cities of Israel will go out and set on fire and
burn the weapons, both the shields and
bucklers, the bows and arrows, the javelins
and spears; and they will make fires with
them for 7 YEARS. They will not take wood
from the field nor cut down any from the
forests, because they will make fires with the
weapons; and they will plunder those who
plundered them, and pillage those who
pillaged them.”
© 2011 Brett Peterson
*7 Months are taken by the whole
population to bury the dead:
Ezekiel 39:11-13: “It will come to pass in that
day, that I will give Gog a burial place there
in Israel, the Valley of those who pass by east
of the Sea; and it will obstruct travellers,
because there they will bury Gog and all his
multitude. Therefore they will call it the
Valley of Hamon Gog (‘the Multitude of
Gog’).
© 2011 Brett Peterson
What is special about the burials?
Men will be regularly
employed to cleanse
the land. Some will
go throughout the land
and, in addition to them,
others will bury those that
remain on the ground…
As they go through the
land and one of them sees
a human bone, he will
set up a marker beside it
until the gravediggers
have buried it in the
Valley of Hamon Gog.
(Ezekiel 39:14-15, NIV)
Special workers are
needed… it could be some
nuclear or atomic weapons
were used…
© 2011 Brett Peterson
For 7 MONTHS the house of Israel
will be burying them, in order to
cleanse the Land. Indeed all the
people of the Land will be burying,
and they will gain renown for it on
the day that I
am glorified,” says the Lord GOD.”
© 2011 Brett Peterson
Ezekiel 39:14-16: “They will set apart men regularly
employed, with the help of a search party, to pass
through the Land and bury those bodies remaining
on the ground, in order to cleanse it. At the end of 7
MONTHS they will make a search.
The search party will pass through the land; and
when anyone sees a man’s bone, he shall set up a
marker by it, till the buriers have buried it in the
Valley of Hamon Gog. The name of the City will also
be Hamonah. Thus they shall cleanse the Land.”
In view of the 7 YEAR clean-up, it must happen
at least 7 years before the 2nd coming of Christ.
This means it should occur prior to the
Antichrist confirming a treaty with Israel for 7
years. So, the next two events could be:

1. Psalms 83 War – Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon,
Syria +
2. The Gog Magog Ware – Russia, Turkey,
Iran, +
Josephus also identifies the descendants of Meshech as dwelling in
eastern Turkey.

Turkey was an ally of Israel up until last year…
