"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 travelers, because there they will bury Gog and all his
multitude. Therefore they will call it the Valley of Hamon Gog.
For 7 months the house of Israel will be burying them, in order to
cleanse the land." (See DEUT. 21:22-23)

ISRAEL’S WARS

In seven wars -- the 1948 War of Independence, the Sinai invasion of 1956, the Six-Day War of 1967, the Yom Kippur War of 1973, and the Lebanon wars of 1982 and 2006 -- Israel has prevailed, though some of these wars were, as Wellington said of Waterloo, "a damn near-run thing."

Iran, Iraq, and Russia has 70% of the world's oil reserves and 65% of
natural gas.

Now the war with Iran actually started in 6/2005 when the CIA, MEK
executed terror bombings in Iran. Pressure from USA actually made
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad top contender in 6/2005; a backfire.

Israel has already said that she would do a preemptive strike on Iran
if Iran continues to develop a nuclear capacity. Like she did on Iraq.
Does she have a choice?

When I did a history of Russia, it seems that all she wanted was warm
water ports; like on the Black Sea.
Perhaps Israel will discover oil.

[DEUT. 33:24]
Gog appears only in one other place (l Chron. 5:4); then after the
1000 yr. reign of Christ in Rev.
Magog (or the "land of Gog") GEN. 10:2, l Chron. 1:5 is understood
to be an area near the Black Sea or the Caspian Sea.
In GEN. 10:2, Magog is one of the sons of Japheth, whose
descendants occupied lands from Spain to Asia Minor, the Islands
of the Mediterranean to southern Russia. Some connect Magog with
the Scythians.
Does Rosh mean Russia? Russia came from the Germanic tribe "Russ."
In Hebrew it means "head" or "chief."
Meshech and Tubal we have no Knowledge; they are thought to be
near Magog.
I once heard that Meshech was thought to be Moscow, and Tubal,
Tubolsk.
Will the Russian bear get hooks in his mouth?

Who do you think will be the two witnesses?

WADR, Ray, "But of that day and hour knoweth no [man], no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only."

and this:


You might want to read the Lincoln/Douglas debates. It was ALL ABOUT slavery. And after Lincoln was elected, South Carolina (Democrats) were so insensed that they declared the following:

I know this is completely off topic, but still can't let it slide.

You! If so be the Spirit of Christ dwelleth in you. Remember, Jesus Christ

When the witnesses are "killed" for 3 1/2 days, means they are silenced,
not permitted to give testimony.

Interesting take on the "hook in the jaw" passage, Ray. Never thought of it that way. It fits, though. I think what's going on with Russia and Iran today is very compelling. That is a very specific prophecy, and never in the history of the world has it fit into place - until now.

And I believe the two witnesses are literal. I actually believe they will be Moses and Elijah (the law and the prophet), but I could be wrong about that. Elijah never died and there is that pesky verse in Jude (I think) about the devil fighting over Moses' body.

I believe they'll be literally killed, that the whole world will watch for three days, and that they'll be resurrected, exactly as it says. For years the church allegorized this passage because it was deemed impossible for the entire world to simultaneously witness a single event. Now, of course, it IS possible.

So much prophecy relating to the first coming of Christ was literal. I just tend to take the Word at face value, unless there's a compelling reason not to. Of course, that's the challenge: what to take literally and what not?

C.S. Lewis wrote that when Jesus told us to be like doves, He didn't intend for us to lay eggs. But it's not always that obvious.

Blessings to you,

RIPLEY'S BELIEVE IT OR NOT...

NOT!!!!

   But why would the South want to secede? If the original American ideal of federalism and constitutionalism had survived to 1860, the South would not have needed to. But one issue loomed larger than any other in that year as in the previous three decades: the NORTHERN TARIFF. It was imposed to benefit Northern industrial interests by subsidizing their production through public works. But it had the effect of forcing the South to pay more for manufactured goods and disproportionately taxing it to support the central government. It also injured the South’s trading relations with other parts of the world.

...believe it, or not.

And yet this take on the event is wildly ahistorical. It takes Northern war propaganda at face value without considering that the South had solid legal, moral, and ECONOMIC reasons for secession which had NOTHING TO DO with SLAVERY. Even the name "Civil War" is misleading, since the war wasn’t about two sides fighting to run the central government as in the English or Roman civil wars. The South attempted a peaceful secession from federal control, an ambition no different from the original American plea for independence from Britain.
