This is why I don’t go to heathens to teach me anything.

_In the latter days_ doesn’t mean in the last days, it just means *at a later time* . War involving Gog and Magog is *our history*, but slightly to *Ezekiel’s future*

[cdckL]

I was listening to a preaching, and Ezekiel 38 Gog of Magog war is a coming war against Israel about to happen, (mentions other nations, that if you see they are surrounding Israel now, preparing for war, Rusia, Iran, Turkey, Etiopia, Lebanon, obviously on Eze 38 mentions the ancient names of these countries) is not the same as after the 1000 years of Jesus reign on earth.

Sometimes is hard for preachers to simply say "I don't know" or just quote the scriptures word for word and let the spirit give understanding. But, instead they opt for saying whatever comes to their mind no matter how foolish.
Here is part of the scripture:
"38 The word of the Lord came to me: 2 “Son of man, set your face against Gog, of the land of Magog, the chief prince of[a] Meshek and Tubal; prophesy against him 3 and say: ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: I am against you, Gog, chief prince of[b] Meshek and Tubal. 4 I will turn you around, put hooks in your jaws and bring you out with your whole army—your horses, your horsemen fully armed, and a great horde with large and small shields, all of them brandishing their swords. 5 Persia, Cush and Put will be with them, all with shields and helmets, 6 also Gomer with all its troops, and Beth Togarmah from the far north with all its troops—the many nations with you.

7 “‘Get ready; be prepared, you and all the hordes gathered about you, and take command of them. 8 After many days you will be called to arms. In future years you will invade a land that has recovered from war, whose people were gathered from many nations to the mountains of Israel, which had long been desolate. They had been brought out from the nations, and now all of them live in safety. 9 You and all your troops and the many nations with you will go up, advancing like a storm; you will be like a cloud covering the land."

Does this seem like something that has already happened? At which point did Babylon or any other country attack Israel after it had recovered from war and the people where gathered from the nations back to the land of Israel? And what's worse with a coalition of countries? No such thing has ever taken place.

This guy has no idea what he's talking about. It talked about in the "latter days" would God show His might. I think people need to read the Bible and pray that God gives you the knowledge and wisdom to understand what you have read. God bless everyone. Yahshua loves you, amen.

But in Revelation Gog and Magog are mentioned. My friend. This is why it’s important to have 2 or 3 verses to answer a question. In the mouth of 2 or 3 witnesses shall every word be established.

[Kuudere-Kun]

Claiming Ezekiel 38 and 39 is already fulfilled is absurd. Now my position is that this is the same as the Gog and Magog after the Millennium in Revelation 20.

[servantofthetruegod]

Wrong ... Ezekiel is speaking prophetic

[ParasiteQueen]

Verse 3, of chapter 38: "I am against you, Gog, chief prince of Meshek and Tubal..."
Meshek was a region north of the Black Sea, or southern Russia, more or less. Tubal in or around Turkey.

[truthstillmatters]

Just because you call yourself the "Bible Answer Man" does not mean you have the answers. Ezekiel 38 and 39 is clearly talking about the end times. To properly decipher this scripture you should look at the areas that come against Israel and see what those lands are NOW called. For instance the land of Ethiopia in the Old Testament times is not the land of Ethiopia today. In today's world it would be Sudan. The Bible does not talk about Iran in the prophecies but it talks about Persia. The land of Iran today is where the BIblical land of Persia once was.

[donkisler]

This is an inaccurate interpretation and will mislead baby Christians trying to learn about the Bible. You should remove this and post a correction.

Gog are the European countries... Belgium, Spain, Italy, Portugal, Great Britain, France, and Germany... Remember these countries who divided the Africa, and the head is Germany.... Russia is their witness in dividing Africa. Search the History of this European countries what they did to Africa and other nations... Magog is The United States of America.... Search the Royal Arcade of Australia, see the image of Gog and Magog there, when they successfully got Australia from Ham... Togarmah- is CANADA... REMEMBER THIS nations, they will make war with China, and Russia is the only one who will backed up China...

[pikabuu]

in Islam, Gog and Magog are widely explained as the terror they will bring.

[anthonygagliardi]

Complete and utter false interpretation of this portion of scripture, to the point where your biblical understanding is questionable. Please take this video down, for young Christian's new in the word this is very misleading.

Then go do some homework.

[ghostwriter]

the Bible isn't referencing Israel State. It's referencing Israel as a people

[BIBLE-TALK]

I started questioning this person in the beginning of video. I the read comments. Don’t bother watching. God Bless those who are searching for Bible truths. Try Behold Israel channel

[terryglenweaver]

OK... This Bible Answer Man does NOT understand God's Living Word. Your understanding is nonsense. You are lost.

The event will happen in these last days, not in the past!
Ezekiel 38:16. "... IT SHALL BE IN THE LATTER DAYS..."

Gog and Magog are sons of Japheth (Genesis 10:2) Japheth is one of the sons of Noah. And the territory given by Noah to Japheth are Europe, North America and Canada according to the Book of Jubilees. Visit the ROYAL ARCADE in Melbourne, Australia and GUILD HALL of London, there you can see the statue of Gog and Magog. In fact, Gog and Magog are glorified during the annual Lord Mayor show in London every second Saturday of November.

I'm also learning in the bible and the guy nimrod and I found that the japhetites are the gog and land of magog which mean the European country. I'm shocked about the 200 million soldiers coming from the east. I'm also found that nimrod is the grandchild of Cain 👌
