Sermon Notes:
World War III
Ezekiel 38-39
March 16, 2014 am
I War of Gog and Magog
 Magog is referred to as the land in the north. If you draw a line from Jerusalem all the way to the North Pole, that line will pass through…Moscow.
 Gog is referred to as the prince of Meshech and Tubal.
 Meschech refers to the ancient peoples who live along the Black and Caspien Seas, the Moschi, or the Moschovites. Moscow is derived from this word.
 Tubal is a derivative of the modern word Tobolsk. Tobolsk is the former capital of Russia and one of its most famous cities.
 Persia – modern day Iran. It is no secret the role Russia has and is playing in Iran’s nuclear program. Iran is located to the east of Israel.
 Cush – modern day Ethiopia. A North African nation located to the south of Israel.
 Put – modern day Lybia. Another North African nation and one that has become completely hostile to the West in recent days.
 Gomer – while a modern day equivalent here is difficult, biblical scholars agree that the people of Gomer were the Cimmerians, who lived around the Black Sea and were expelled to what is modern day Turkey. So Gomer could be Turkey. However, the ancient Cimmerians lived in what is now known as…Ukraine. We should take particular notice of this as Ukraine has sprung onto the world scene as Russia is on the doorstep of invasion of this sovereign nation. Could Gomer be Ukraine?
 Beth-togarmah – this too is not certain but some scholars have suggested Germany as the modern day equivalent of this ancient land.
 The uttermost parts of the north – when one looks at a map of the nations north of Israel they will certainly see Syria, among others. Once again, the role of Russia in Syria is unavoidable.
