JW - Magog/Gog/principalities

Overview

This teaching explores the prophetic relevance of Ezekiel 38–39 and associated scriptures to current Middle Eastern and global geopolitical events, focusing on the identities and roles of Gog, Magog, the Prince of Persia, and allied nations, as well as the spiritual dimensions underlying these conflicts.

Geopolitical and Spiritual Context

• Recent headlines about bombing Iran are primarily for optics, not evidence of actual military defeat.
• US and Israeli actions are depleting their own high-level munitions, aligning with deceptive military doctrines like perfidious maneuvering and Pyrrhic victory.
• Current Middle Eastern alliances (e.g., Iran/Persia and Russia/China) are seen as part of a supernatural, ancient coalition driven by spiritual principalities.
• The push for “peace and prosperity” in political rhetoric fulfills prophetic warnings of false security preceding sudden destruction (1 Thessalonians 5).
• The **Prince of Persia** is a spiritual principality associated with Iran/Persia. - The coalition includes a supernatural alliance involving Russia, China, Iran, Turkey, North African nations, and others. - The **United States** is suggested to be the “land of unwalled villages” living in perceived safety. - The **British Isles** are symbolized as the “merchants of Tarshish” with their colonies as “young lions.” This coalition reflects a mix of ancient peoples and modern nations, often linked through historical, ethnic, and spiritual connections as interpreted in the prophecy.

Ezekiel 38–39: Prophetic Analysis

• Gog is identified as a supernatural principality, not a human leader (not Putin); the events of Ezekiel 38–39 are distinct from those in Revelation 20.
• Gog of Magog leads a coalition of nations (including Russia, Turkey, Iran, Germany, and others) against Israel, not limited to a single modern war.
• The list of the nations and peoples mentioned in the prophecy of Ezekiel 38–39 along with their possible current or historical locations based this teaching **Gog of Magog** | A supernatural principality ruling over the Magogians (Magog people), identified historically as the Scythians (Skyians).
  **Magogians / Skyians**| Ancient people spanning from Ukraine, Russia, and the southern steppes of Russia, extending to the Black Sea and Caspian Sea. **Meshech (Messich)** | Northern Asia, associated with the Muscovites (Moscow region, Russia).
  **Tubal (Tubul)** | Northern Asia, linked to the Sarmatians, near the Taurus Mountains and Volga River region (Russia). *Persia** | Modern-day Iran, historically Persia, associated with the Indo-Aryan/Aryan peoples.
  *Cush (Kush)** | North Africa and the Horn of Africa (Ethiopia, Eritrea, Somalia).
  *Put** | North Africa (Libya and surrounding regions).
  *Gomer (Goomemer)** | Germanic peoples, historically linked to the Cimmerians; modern Germany and surrounding areas..
  *Beth Togarmah (Beth to Garma)** | Modern-day Turkey and Armenia (Armenians are called the house of Togarmah).
  **Sheba** | Arabian Peninsula (modern Saudi Arabia and surrounding Gulf states). *Dedan (Daydan)** | Arabian Peninsula (northwestern Arabia, near modern Saudi Arabia).
• **Merchants of Tarshish** | British Isles (England, Scotland, Wales, and former British colonies)..
  *Young Lions of Tarshish** | Colonies and territories of the British Empire, including the United States and other former colonies.
  *Isles / Coastlands** | Western maritime nations, often interpreted as the British Isles, the United States, and other Western nations. | ### Additional Notes: -
• The prophesied invasion is both military and spiritual, culminating in devastating assault on Israel and eventual divine intervention.
• The destruction described (e.g., fire, widespread devastation, need for specialist cleanup) may resemble nuclear or large-scale weapon effects.

Historical and Ethnological Connections

• “Magogians/Scythians” are linked to ancient peoples spanning Russia, China, Turkey, and the Caucasus—nations named in Ezekiel’s prophecy.
• The Prince of Persia refers to a spiritual entity historically associated with Iran and the Indo-Aryan/Aryan peoples.
• Historical alliances (Nazi Germany, Ottoman Empire, modern Iran) are interpreted as echoing these prophetic coalitions and spiritual hierarchies.
• The British Isles, referred to as “isles” and “coastlands” in prophecy, are discussed as having deep-rooted occultic traditions tied symbolically to Gog and Magog.

The Role of Nations in Prophecy

• The United States is suggested to be the “land of unwalled villages” living in perceived safety, potentially targeted in prophetic judgment.
• The “merchants of Tarshish and her young lions” refer to the British Empire and its former colonies, including the US.
• The spiritual and occult heritage of Western powers is emphasized as significant in the unfolding prophetic drama.
• The teaching describes a close and strategic link between Russia and China, portraying China as essentially a proxy or mechanism of Russia in the unfolding prophetic and geopolitical scenario. Here are the key points about their connection: - **Nepotism-Based Alliance:** The relationship between Russia and China is characterized as a nepotism-based alliance, meaning it is built on mutual benefit and control rather than equal partnership. -
• **China as a Proxy of Russia:** China is described as operating under the influence or direction of Russia, serving as a tool or extension of Russian geopolitical and spiritual ambitions. -
• **Shared Spiritual and Historical Roots:** Both nations are linked through ancient lineages and spiritual principalities, particularly connected to the descendants of the Canaanites and the Magogians/Scythians, which are part of the prophetic coalition against Israel.
• **Communism as a Common Ideology:** The teaching highlights that communism, which originated from the Bolshevik revolution in Russia, is a form of Luciferianism and mystery religion. China’s communist system is seen as an offshoot or continuation of this ideology, reinforcing their alliance. -
• **Military and Logistical Cooperation:** Russia is portrayed as the primary supplier and logistical backbone for arming the coalition nations, including China and Iran, preparing for the prophesied conflict. - **Shared Occultic and Theosophical Influences:** The alliance is also described as rooted in occultic and theosophical teachings passed down through history, linking the spiritual principalities ruling over these nations. In summary, the link between Russia and China is depicted as a deeply intertwined alliance with Russia as the dominant partner, united by shared spiritual, ideological, and geopolitical goals aligned with the prophetic narrative of Ezekiel 38–39.

Key Scriptural Themes and Applications

The Germanic people, as mentioned in the prophecy under the name Gomer (Goomemer), have a rich historical and ethnological background that connects them to ancient peoples and modern nations. Here’s an overview based on the teaching:

Historical and Ethnological Background of the Germanic People (Gomer)

• Ancient Identity:
  Gomer is historically linked to the Cimmerians, an ancient nomadic people who lived around the northern Black Sea region. The Cimmerians were known as a barbarous and warlike people in ancient times.
• Modern Connection:
  The descendants of Gomer are associated with the Germanic peoples of Europe, particularly modern-day Germany and surrounding areas. This includes various Germanic tribes that historically inhabited Central Europe.
• Cultural and Historical Influence:
  The Germanic peoples played a significant role in European history, including the migration period (the “Barbarian Invasions”) that contributed to the fall of the Western Roman Empire and the formation of medieval European kingdoms.
• Nazi Germany and Aryanism:
  The teaching highlights that Nazi Germany drew on ancient Aryan and Indo-Aryan ideologies, which are linked to the Prince of Persia and the Indo-Aryan peoples. The Nazis studied occult and esoteric teachings, including those from Tibetan Buddhist monks, to develop their racial theories and justify their actions, including the persecution of Jews.
• Spiritual and Prophetic Context:
  In the prophetic framework, Gomer (Germany) is part of the coalition led by Gog of Magog that will come against Israel in the end times. This coalition reflects not just geopolitical alliances but also spiritual principalities and ancient lineages.

Summary

• Gomer represents the Germanic peoples, historically linked to the Cimmerians.
• Modern Germany and surrounding regions are identified with Gomer.
• The Germanic peoples have a significant historical role in Europe.
• Nazi Germany’s ideology is connected to ancient Aryan and Indo-Aryan spiritual lineages.
• In prophecy, Gomer is part of the end-time coalition against Israel.

This background helps to understand the prophetic significance of Gomer in Ezekiel 38–39 and its connection to modern geopolitical realities.
