   Gog
And Magog

Part One
Chapter One

The Hebrew Book of 3 Enoch Chapter XLV states that on the
Curtain of the Throne in the Holy of Holies that divides it from
the Holy Place, (according to the pattern Moses was
commanded to erect in the wilderness, that is, the Tabernacle
exactly as the heavenly one), are graven all the generations of
the world and their doings, both what they have done and
what they will do until the end of all generations.

We often hear from different saints the phrase “Behind the
veil,” “Hidden manna,” etc. The Curtain separates the Throne
of Glory and its innermost mysteries from other parts of the
highest heaven and from the world of angels in general … as
the curtain veiled off the Holy of Holies in the sanctuary.

The Curtain therefore becomes the symbol of the secrets of
heaven and earth that are kept with the Godhead, hidden
even from the angels. Occasional revelations of these
secrets, described either as obtained by “hearing from behind
the Curtain (Veil)” or some express it by the phrase ”to know
from behind the Curtain (Veil) indicating, the secrets are as
‘written/seen on the inside of the Curtain.’ It is called “Curtain
of the Divine Majesty.” Thus we have, “His Word is forever
settled in heaven; it is written.”

Now we know that after the death and resurrection of our
Lord, Savior, and King Messiah Yeshua, Jesus, He has
entered behind the Curtain as a Forerunner and Mediating-
Attorney for us, we can enter this Most Holy Place by His
blood atonement of the New Covenant and speak directly to
“Our Father, who is in Heaven, hallowed be Your name!” Also,
in the Scroll of the Apocalypse, the Lord Yeshua, Jesus from
behind the Veil reveals

2 Gog & Magog
‘end-time-events’ to His people represented by the
Candlesticks. He warns His ‘bond-servants’ of their “virginity”
which they must guard, and of their endurance, and patient
faithfulness they must keep, of their persecutions and even
the death of some for His name. He especially warns of the
teaching we are currently hearing “Because you say I am rich,
have become wealthy…and have need of nothing…and do not
know that you are wretched, poor, blind, and naked;” that is,
spiritually you do not know just how blind you are and have
fallen away form Apostolic teaching.

The LORD also speaks of the “hidden manna” from behind
the Curtain that will show us of things to come … “As it is
written,” according to the heavenly tablets from which the
angels mediated to many of the prophets and that His angels
still mediate today, and have commands to heal! This
foreknowledge implies the idea of ‘pre-determination.’ So, we
should be inquiring of our Father “What is Your perfect will for
me, what should I be preparing within myself, besides purity,
to keep the faith and finish my race?” This means my work in
ministry, as a man or woman, father, mother, husband, wife,
laborer, anything that your hands find to do. For in that doing
is the healing anointing and prayer. Don’t be striving to
become “rich and great, owning lots of lands, bla, bla, bla” as
Christian TV media is sometimes proclaiming! This teaching
contradicts Scripture, especially of the end-time events.

But keep knocking, seeking for a glimpse of the Curtain of
Divine Majesty’s revelation and Anointing. Written on this
Curtain of Divine Majesty is the ‘repository’ of all past, present
and future events, and it seems, as if the idea were rather,
that the events, the ‘generations, their thoughts and their
doings,’ portrayed on the Curtain…are images imprinted on
it…rather than that the various facts are merely recorded! In
my thinking brothers and sisters, it is like a TV or Movie
screen! Isn’t that amazing! Let’s remember that the Kingdom of
Messiah is not a ‘political kingdom of this world as yet!’

In verse 5) it reads of the short eschatological Gog & Magog
end-time war. “And I saw the Messiah, through the medium of
the Curtain of the Throne all the fights and wars that the
‘nations of the world’ wrought against the people of Israel in
the “time of their kingdom.” (This is viewing the fights and
wars against Israel in the Middle East in the lands of Gog &
Magog,
3 Gog & Magog

“And I saw Messiah ben (son of) David (as king), and His
‘generation,’ and all the fights and wars, and their works and
their doings that they (His generation) will do with Israel both
for good and evil. And I saw all the fights and wars (plural)
that Gog & Magog will fight in the ‘days’ of Messiah (see 7
seals, Ezk 38-39; Dan 7-8), and all that the Holy One, blessed
be He, will do with them (His people) in the time to come.”
(Note: not do to (against) Israel, but ‘with!’ we fight as ONE;
also remember that the word is to prophesy against and the
Holy One intervenes, as we shall see, and the Holy One is
shown with His inheritance, His Bride in the time to come Rev
14. Also we are to remember the Scripture “And who shall
declare His generation?” Peter tells us that, “We are His
generation!” and we are proclaiming His word and to prophesy
against Gog & Magog. This is ‘our time and season to declare
this prophecy!’ Our inheritance is the Kingdom of eternal life,
not flesh and blood!

Verse 6) summarizes what he has seen “(I saw) all the rest of
all leaders of the generations and all the works of the
generations both in Israel and in the nations of the world, both
what is done and what will be done hereafter to all
generations until the “end of time,” (when time shall be no
more) all were graven (imaged) on the Curtain of the Divine
Majesty. I had seen it, I opened my mouth in praise ”For the
King’s word has power and who may say unto Him: What are
You doing? Whosoever keeps Your commandments shall
know no evil thing,” And I said, “O LORD, how manifold are
Your works.”

A janitor by the name of Marvin Ford had this experience in
the 70’s after he was pronounced dead in a Southern
California Hospital. He told of wonders and that when he
arrived in the Throne Room he fell on his face while praises
and more praises gushed forth from his mouth in worship! I
wrote about him, do you remember? He told of the end-time
events that the LORD revealed to him. He and wife stayed in
the Visalia TraveLodge that I managed.

Chapter Two
Ezekiel’s Prophecies
According to Ezekiel 36 & 37 Israel must be regathered to their
Land before the final wars of Gog & Magog; this prophecy
began it’s fulfillment after World War 11 in 1948. According to
Luke 21 Jerusalem would be trodden down by the Gentiles
until their times are fulfilled. (Some interpret this
4 Gog & Magog

passage as “Until all the gentiles who are to be saved come
into salvation;” or “Until the times of the Gentile rule over
Jerusalem/Israel is fulfilled.” Many quote Paul’s statement of
Israel’s Olive Tree Roman’s 11. It is certain that the natural
branches are being grafted back into their own beautiful Tree
and there is no statement that the wild branches are raptured
out, maybe cut off tho!

There are four verses of Scripture, I think we must keep in
mind, and they are Ezekiel 38:8-12 God prophesying from His
foreknowledge, pre-determined plan imaged upon His Curtain,
to Gog & Magog: 8) “After many years you will be visited.”
(Indicating that Gog & Magog kingdoms have a past history of
wars & fights, against Israel upon their Land; which is still in
process today). “In the latter years you will come into the land
of those brought back from the sword (see dry-bones, Ch 37)
and gathered from many people on the mountains of Israel,
which had long been desolate; they were brought out of many
nations, and now dwell safely.” (Has Israel been dwelling
safely yet)?   9) “You will ascend, coming like a storm,
covering the land like a cloud, you and all your troops and
many people with you. 10) Thus says the LORD God: “On
that day it shall come to pass that thoughts will arise in your
mind, and you will make an evil plan: 11) You will say, ‘I will go
up against the land of unwalled villages; I will go to a peaceful
people, who dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls,
and having neither bars nor gates’ (as they had in ancient
past) 12) ‘to take plunder and to take booty, to stretch out your
hand against the waste places that are again inhabited, and
against a people gathered from the nations, who have
acquired livestock and goods. Who dwell in the midst of the
land.’ “

The Identity of Gog and Magog Alliance
First, the Messiah Yeshua, Acts 1:6, finishes gathering
together Israel unto Himself both physically and spiritually in
Jerusalem, as we are seeing today. But according to the
above Scriptures quoted, Israel must be at peace before Gog
& Magog ascend upon the land to take ‘a booty.’ Note: to push
Israel into the Sea… Which Sea? The Great Sea
(Mediterranean)! So let us identify Gog & Magog.Ezekiel 38:
1) “And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, 2) Son of
man, set your face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief
prince of Meshech and
5 Gog & Magog

Tubal. And prophesy against ‘him,’ 3) and say, Thus says the
LORD GOD; Behold, I am against you, O Gog, the chief prince
of Meshech and Tubal: 4) And I will turn you back, and put
hooks into your jaws, and I will bring you forth, and all your
army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts
of armor, even a great company with bucklers and shields, all
of them handling swords: 5) Persia, Ethiopia (Sudan), and
Libya with them; all of them with shield and helmet: 6) Gomer,
and all his bands; the house of Togarmah of the north
quarters, and all his bands: and many people with you. 7) Be
prepared, and prepare for yourself, you, and all the company
(alliance/coalition) that are assembled unto you, and be a
guard unto them.”
The following is a modern-day look at the nations mentioned
by Ezekiel that will join together to attack Israel in the last of
the last days, called “Armageddon!” Yes, Armageddon!

From The End-Time Project Map Resources
There doesn’t seem to be any firm proof but most scholars
believe that Gog in the land of Magog is speaking of Russia or
the Soviet Union. However the children of Japheth, son of
Noah, settled to the north of Eden going into Turkey and
southern Europe, north of Turkey! The families that settled
southern Europe are not mentioned here but the ones that
settled Turkey are named (Magog, Meshech, Tubal and
Gomer) and would be the ones that eventually continued to
migrate due north in Turkey and in southern part of the Soviet
Union, now Muslim; which broke from Russia in its recent fall.
So it is certainly to be Turkey since Gog is called the chief
prince of the different provinces of Turkey. God calls Gog the
Chief Prince of Meshech and Tubal. Gomer and Togarmah
are all past locations in Turkey! Persia does not exist as a
nation today, but the landmass, which it did, is currently
occupied by Iran, Iraq, Syria, Jordan, Lebanon and parts of
Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Turkey. Iran is the one nation that is
directly descended from Persia (Elam). Ethiopia and Lybia
both covered a greater portion of the African continent in the
past; therefore the name of them in Ezekiel could mean that
there will be other African nations that will join them but not
necessarily. Looking at the world today and comparing ancient
maps to modern ones one might think that Sudan could have
been included as a part of Egypt or Ethiopia and Algeria could
have been included as part of Libya.Verses 15 & 16 places
the battle of Gog in the latter days; some believe that this
battle will take place before the tribulation, before the
antichrist is
6 Gog & Magog

revealed; and that these same nations will rejoin together in a
second alliance of ten nations from which the antichrist will
rise up out of and take control of.
I personally do not see this interpretation, because, 14) “On
that day when My people Israel dwell safely, will you not know
it,” as quoted earlier, “that Israel will be dwelling safely and
without walls.” If Gog is Antichrist and if appears that he is, he
will rise from these kingdoms and fall on the mountains of
Israel, which take the Israelis seven months to bury!? Unless
we are completely wrong in our interpretation (& we could be),
Israel enters the Millennium after that Tribulation… and
according to Daniel 12 we have our first resurrection!

The Four Winds of Earth and The Great Sea
Revelation 7:1) “After these things I saw “four angels”
standing at the four corners of the earth (this could make the
vision given to John universal ?), holding the four winds of the
earth, that they should not blow on the earth, on sea, or on
any tree. These are spirits of destruction over the land, the
sea and the trees, 2) Then I saw another angel ascending
from the east, having the seal of God. And he cried with a loud
voice to the four angels (winds) to whom it was granted to
harm the earth, the sea, 3) saying, ‘Do not harm the earth, the
sea, or the trees till we have sealed the servants of our God
on their foreheads.” (4 winds and earth could also mean “the 4
quarters of the land of Israel and not necessarily universal,
since Gog and Magog are the enemies that fall on the
mountains of Israel, even the spirits could be the four
horseman of the Tribulation Period not God’s wrath as yet, the
setting is the Middle East)!

We know that the number is 144,000 … and that the 12 Tribes
of Israel are named, not the 12 Apostles. It is a perfect cube of
10x10x10, symbolizing completeness, multiplied by 144, or
12x12, symbolizing the faithful remnant; and the OT saints in
the resurrection; whichever you believe, they are Israel! Note
too, that the angel with the seal comes from the East! And we
also see that “they and a great multitude which no one could
number, of all the nations, tribes, peoples, and tongues came
out of the ‘great tribulation’ and had washed their robes in the
blood of the Lamb.” Could many of them be converted Muslim
gentiles? Let us look at Matthew 24 what Jesus has
prophesied. “For in times past God spoke through the
prophets…But in these last days He has spoken to us through
His Son to whom He has given everything,”
Hebrew 1:1-2.              Shalom! We love you! SheepShed q
