Russia and Ukraine are in the area of the map that Gog and Magog are placed in Revelations.
Just pointing it out
What does that mean for us non biblical scholars
Gog and Magog stop fighting each other and attack Israel.
Are...are muhgog and gog anime characters?
Some new Twitter fad?
Should I be GogMaxxing?
And I thought I was the only gog noob.
Well in the Kingdom series they're superman villains.
I let you do the math on the 'ultimate man' created by a couple of Jewish men being driven into hiding by Magog only to come back to save the world after its nuked.
That would be insane to see happen.
Zelensky is Jewish so that won't happen without a leadership change
You really think he's in charge and not just another CIA puppet?
The idea that Gog and Magog are Russia is something that’s been thrown around mostly in modern times, but honestly, it doesn’t really hold up if you look into it. Here’s why:
In the Bible, Gog and Magog are mentioned in Ezekiel 38-39 and Revelation 20:7-8, but it never actually says they’re Russia. People just started guessing that because in Ezekiel, it says Gog comes from “the far north.” Some folks looked at a map and figured, “Hey, Russia is north of Israel, so it must be talking about them.” But that’s just a guess—it doesn’t actually say "Russia" anywhere.
Back in the day, nobody really thought Gog and Magog were Russia. Early Christians and Jews had all kinds of ideas about who they were, but they never said Russia. Some thought they were just enemies from some unknown land, or maybe they symbolized future bad guys who’d show up to fight God’s people. Nothing about Russia though.
Fast forward to more recent times, especially during the Cold War, when Russia (or the Soviet Union) was seen as this big enemy of the West. Evangelicals started saying Russia might be Gog and Magog because they were involved in conflicts in the Middle East and seemed like a threat to Israel. So they put two and two together and said, “Aha, that’s what Ezekiel was talking about.” But really, it was just influenced by politics and what was going on at the time.
The truth is, the Bible doesn’t tell us who Gog and Magog really are, and people just guessed it was Russia because of where it’s located and because of tensions during the Cold War. There’s no solid proof that the Bible was talking about Russia. It’s mostly modern people trying to fit the prophecy to what’s happening in the world today.
So, while it’s a cool theory for some, it’s really just a modern idea without much real backing.
Good summary - thanks! Also made popular by Hal Lindsey's "Late Great Planet Earth".
Thanks! Yeah, you’re totally right—Hal Lindsey’s The Late Great Planet Earth* really pushed this whole idea that Gog and Magog are Russia. In the book, he claimed that Ezekiel 38-39 was predicting a future attack on Israel, led by Russia and a bunch of other nations.
Lindsey thought “the far north” in Ezekiel meant Russia because, well, Russia is north of Israel. He connected Magog to the Soviet Union (since it was during the Cold War) and said Russia would be a big player in the end times. He also tied other countries, like Persia (which is now Iran) and Libya, into the mix, saying they’d team up with Russia to go against Israel.
The book came out when everyone was worried about the Cold War, so people really latched onto the idea. It made this interpretation of Russia being part of Gog and Magog super popular, even though it’s mostly based on modern stuff!
Thank you. I learn so much here 😀
I did a basic look up here. Its pretty interdasting.
And that is why ascribing our often mistaken beliefs on to others is not going to make any difference in the end.
People have been trying to make every major event out to be the Biblical end of days, it happens constantly with any major shifts in the world, and it has not happened yet.
You cannot successfully or consistently apply temporal meanings to divine revelation. Divine revelation first and foremost refers to inner spiritual movement within the soul as it approaches the divine presence. For more info look into the great mass of hidden writings of christian mystics and early church fathers.
God bless you for your knowledge.
Sure, honestly I am sick of the Israel love, open your god damn eyes.
Its called the great awakening, you have been lied to about pretty much everythhing.
If you are going to cite Biblical things, please spell the book you are citing correctly. I always question when someone types "Revelations", when the book is actually Revelation.
