1
00:00:10,010 --> 00:00:13,947
There is an ancient
terrible prophecy of doom.
2
00:00:14,247 --> 00:00:19,652
An event known as the invasion
of Gog, from the land of Magog.
3
00:00:20,587 --> 00:00:23,706
It is a threat that is
prophesied to come upon
4
00:00:23,731 --> 00:00:26,650
the lands of the Jews
during the last days,
5
00:00:26,860 --> 00:00:31,097
and be a punishment for the
wicked and the unbelievers.
6
00:00:32,265 --> 00:00:34,934
A great war is set
to take place,
7
00:00:35,335 --> 00:00:39,706
in which millions will die
and empires will collapse.
8
00:00:46,079 --> 00:00:49,516
Are we finally close
enough to the last day
9
00:00:49,516 --> 00:00:52,936
to be able to decipher
this coming cataclysm
10
00:00:52,961 --> 00:00:56,380
and understand God's
plan before it unfolds?
11
00:00:57,457 --> 00:01:03,329
This mystic prophecy, the true meaning
of which has been purposefully hidden
12
00:01:03,329 --> 00:01:09,235
by the Ancient of Days, only to be
understood in the times of revelation,
13
00:01:09,235 --> 00:01:13,206
lies in the cryptic pages
of the Old Testament.
14
00:01:13,206 --> 00:01:15,141
In the book of Ezekiel.
15
00:01:16,976 --> 00:01:19,479
Ezekiel 38:
16
00:01:19,946 --> 00:01:23,850
Son of man, set thy
face against Gog,
17
00:01:23,850 --> 00:01:30,857
the land of Magog, the chief prince of
Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him,
18
00:01:31,291 --> 00:01:34,994
And say, Thus sayeth
the Lord GOD;
19
00:01:35,528 --> 00:01:42,302
Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the
chief prince of Meshech and Tubal:
20
00:01:42,302 --> 00:01:46,372
And I will turn thee back,
and put hooks into thy jaws,
21
00:01:46,372 --> 00:01:51,711
and I will bring thee forth, and all
thine army, horses and horsemen…
22
00:01:52,178 --> 00:01:57,784
…in the latter years thou shalt come into the
land that is brought back from the sword,
23
00:01:57,951 --> 00:02:02,455
and is gathered out of many people,
against the mountains of Israel…
24
00:02:02,989 --> 00:02:06,259
Thou shalt ascend and
come like a storm,
25
00:02:06,259 --> 00:02:10,349
thou shalt be like a cloud
to cover the land, thou,
26
00:02:10,374 --> 00:02:13,991
and all thy bands, and
many people with thee.
27
00:02:19,973 --> 00:02:24,003
The identity of Gog from
the land of Magog has
28
00:02:24,028 --> 00:02:28,572
remained shrouded in mystery
for thousands of years.
29
00:02:29,149 --> 00:02:35,288
Many look for clues, signs and hidden
methods of deciphering his name.
30
00:02:35,989 --> 00:02:40,372
But his true identity remains
hidden and all attempts
31
00:02:40,397 --> 00:02:44,454
at revealing it fail as
unconvincing speculation.
32
00:02:45,031 --> 00:02:51,538
But who is this frightful and dreaded enemy
bound to clash with the nation of Israel?
33
00:02:51,938 --> 00:02:56,045
Is there really a way to
understand the prophecies and
34
00:02:56,070 --> 00:02:59,803
the evidence and come to
a definitive conclusion?
35
00:03:00,580 --> 00:03:07,287
Can the mists of ancient history be
dispersed to reveal the hidden truth?
36
00:03:07,587 --> 00:03:13,293
Let us examine the details
surrounding this mysterious invader.
37
00:03:16,629 --> 00:03:21,005
From the genealogy given in
the book of Genesis which
38
00:03:21,030 --> 00:03:25,138
describes the ancestral
tree of the ancient people
39
00:03:25,138 --> 00:03:30,043
we know that Magog is the second
of the seven sons of Japheth.
40
00:03:30,577 --> 00:03:33,980
Japheth is one of the
three sons of Noah.
41
00:03:35,381 --> 00:03:41,788
After the flood ended, and the waters
subsided, the ark rested on Mount Ararat.
42
00:03:42,255 --> 00:03:47,193
And the descendants of Noah spread
in the area of the Middle East,
43
00:03:47,193 --> 00:03:49,295
and settled in different places.
44
00:03:50,196 --> 00:03:55,068
They multiplied and different
tribes formed from their progeny.
45
00:03:55,602 --> 00:03:59,402
It is difficult to trace
where exactly Magog settled,
46
00:03:59,427 --> 00:04:03,367
but there is a very old map
which might give us a clue.
47
00:04:08,781 --> 00:04:16,055
The Historical Textbook and Atlas of
Biblical Geography, by Coleman from 1854,
48
00:04:16,055 --> 00:04:19,821
contains a map describing
the world according to
49
00:04:19,846 --> 00:04:23,687
the Hebrews in the ancient
times after the flood.
50
00:04:25,098 --> 00:04:28,735
On it is shown where
the land of Magog is.
51
00:04:29,202 --> 00:04:34,202
The map points us to the area
between the Black sea and
52
00:04:34,227 --> 00:04:38,869
the Caspian Sea in what is
today south-west Russia.
53
00:04:39,812 --> 00:04:44,817
This leads many to the association
of Magog with Russia,
54
00:04:44,817 --> 00:04:50,490
and it is a common interpretation in
western Christian organizations today.
55
00:04:51,190 --> 00:04:57,630
However, it should be noted, that Russia
is the largest country in the world.
56
00:04:57,930 --> 00:05:03,369
And that little part of it certainly
cannot be considered her heart.
57
00:05:06,606 --> 00:05:11,344
Actually, from the perspective
of the vast human history,
58
00:05:11,344 --> 00:05:16,382
these south western lands could
hardly be called native to Russia.
59
00:05:17,183 --> 00:05:22,488
They were conquered by the
Russians around the year 1560
60
00:05:22,488 --> 00:05:25,091
after the fall of
the Mongol empire.
61
00:05:25,692 --> 00:05:29,228
Before that time this
area of the world
62
00:05:29,228 --> 00:05:35,068
was controlled by the Scythians, believed
to be of Persian or Turkic origin.
63
00:05:35,768 --> 00:05:39,996
It later fell into the
possession of other central
64
00:05:40,021 --> 00:05:44,000
Asian Turkic tribes, like
the Huns and Khazars.
65
00:05:52,752 --> 00:05:59,092
Russian origins, on the other hand, are
located in the areas to the North West,
66
00:05:59,092 --> 00:06:05,365
where around the year 870 the
Kievan Rus monarchy was formed.
67
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:11,952
However, a closer examination
of this old Hebrew map
68
00:06:11,977 --> 00:06:16,676
reveals that the land south
of the Caucasus Mountains,
69
00:06:16,676 --> 00:06:24,350
which is today Turkish and Georgian territory,
is also labeled as "Meshech Gog Magog".
70
00:06:24,350 --> 00:06:29,689
Meshech was one of those
mentioned in Ezekiel’s prophecy.
71
00:06:30,156 --> 00:06:33,526
He is one of Magog’s brothers.
72
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:39,465
Son of man, set thy face against
Gog, the land of Magog,
73
00:06:39,465 --> 00:06:45,471
the chief prince of Meshech and
Tubal, and prophesy against him…
74
00:06:46,572 --> 00:06:50,076
We can also see Tubal nearby.
75
00:06:50,676 --> 00:06:53,646
Again, another brother of Magog.
76
00:06:54,113 --> 00:06:59,819
Other names also mentioned in the
prophecy are Gomer, and Togarmah
77
00:06:59,819 --> 00:07:02,221
more of Magog’s brothers.
78
00:07:02,722 --> 00:07:10,163
They are in the list of countries who
will join Gog in his invasion on Israel.
79
00:07:11,397 --> 00:07:18,004
Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya with them;
all of them with shield and helmet:
80
00:07:18,471 --> 00:07:24,277
Gomer, and all his bands; the house
of Togarmah of the north quarters,
81
00:07:24,277 --> 00:07:28,014
and all his bands: and
many people with thee.
82
00:07:30,583 --> 00:07:34,640
So from all this it is
becoming clear that we are
83
00:07:34,665 --> 00:07:38,291
talking about countries
from the Middle East
84
00:07:38,291 --> 00:07:42,628
and tribes which inhabited
the lands of Anatolia
85
00:07:42,628 --> 00:07:46,466
which is today entirely
controlled by Turkey.
86
00:07:46,833 --> 00:07:51,537
All this doesn’t seem to
have much to do with Russia.
87
00:07:56,142 --> 00:08:00,079
Now let’s examine Gog himself.
88
00:08:01,180 --> 00:08:07,753
If you research the identity of Gog among
today’s western Christian organizations
89
00:08:07,753 --> 00:08:11,390
you may find
interpretations like this:
90
00:08:12,191 --> 00:08:17,830
Gog is a person who rules over
the land of Magog (Russia).
91
00:08:18,130 --> 00:08:21,634
Magog means the
"Prince of Rosh."
92
00:08:22,235 --> 00:08:27,006
(Gog) Rosh is the old root
word for the land of Russia.
93
00:08:28,774 --> 00:08:33,946
These claims however, seem to
be completely unsubstantiated
94
00:08:33,946 --> 00:08:38,784
and verging on cold war era
anti-Russian propaganda.
95
00:08:39,919 --> 00:08:45,725
As we saw, the old root word
for ancient Russia is Rus.
96
00:08:46,292 --> 00:08:51,564
From the Kievan Rus monarchy, which
was centered around the city of Kiev,
97
00:08:51,564 --> 00:08:54,834
which is today the
capital of Ukraine.
98
00:08:58,337 --> 00:09:02,808
Actually, the name Gog
is not cryptic at all.
99
00:09:03,175 --> 00:09:07,413
It does not require
decoding or interpretation.
100
00:09:08,180 --> 00:09:14,086
It is a literal name which a race of
ancient people have had for a long time.
101
00:09:15,955 --> 00:09:22,929
Central Asia has been occupied by
Turkic tribes for thousands of years.
102
00:09:23,195 --> 00:09:28,267
They have been causing invasions,
and raids, and waves of immigration
103
00:09:28,267 --> 00:09:31,771
in the surrounding
lands many times.
104
00:09:32,238 --> 00:09:35,541
The Hun invasion that
brought down Rome.
105
00:09:42,815 --> 00:09:45,351
The Avar invasion.
106
00:09:45,985 --> 00:09:48,454
The Khazar invasion.
107
00:09:54,260 --> 00:09:56,329
The Cuman invasion.
108
00:09:56,963 --> 00:10:01,500
All coming out of Central
Asia spilling into Europe.
109
00:10:07,573 --> 00:10:12,445
Even the ancient ancestors of the
Mongols, before they mixed genetically
110
00:10:12,478 --> 00:10:16,215
with the Chinese, were
a pure Turkic tribe.
111
00:10:18,317 --> 00:10:23,189
In 550 AD, in the eastern
parts of central Asia,
112
00:10:23,189 --> 00:10:28,361
these Turkic tribes were known
as the tribes of Rouran.
113
00:10:29,795 --> 00:10:34,834
Later on Rouran was divided
in to two khaganates.
114
00:10:35,267 --> 00:10:42,108
They were known as the eastern
and western Gog Turk khaganates.
115
00:10:44,276 --> 00:10:49,081
These are the people of Gog
that we have been looking for.
116
00:10:49,649 --> 00:10:53,119
Hidden and tucked
away in eastern Asia.
117
00:10:58,257 --> 00:11:04,063
These two khaganates were
eventually unified around 580 AD
118
00:11:04,697 --> 00:11:07,033
And then broke up again.
119
00:11:07,933 --> 00:11:12,071
And the eastern part was
conquered by the Chinese.
120
00:11:12,638 --> 00:11:17,109
Which is when the Mongols
gained their East Asian traits.
121
00:11:23,315 --> 00:11:27,594
Then they were able to
liberate themselves and
122
00:11:27,619 --> 00:11:31,715
again formed a state
with the name Gog Turk.
123
00:11:33,192 --> 00:11:37,562
Many years past and many
Turkic khaganates and
124
00:11:37,587 --> 00:11:41,491
governmental organizations
came and went.
125
00:11:41,701 --> 00:11:45,938
But beneath all the politics
and power struggles
126
00:11:45,938 --> 00:11:49,942
the land remained occupied
by Turkic peoples.
127
00:11:53,746 --> 00:11:59,251
Around 1040 AD, in the South-Western
areas of central Asia,
128
00:11:59,251 --> 00:12:05,157
which is today Turkmenistan, these Turkic
people formed the state of Seljuq.
129
00:12:05,958 --> 00:12:08,561
After their victory
over the Persians,
130
00:12:08,561 --> 00:12:11,530
they quickly spread in
the surrounding area
131
00:12:11,530 --> 00:12:14,734
and conquered the eastern
parts of Byzantium.
132
00:12:15,701 --> 00:12:18,304
Eventually their
empire collapsed.
133
00:12:20,673 --> 00:12:23,409
But they left a
presence in Anatolia
134
00:12:23,409 --> 00:12:26,812
which was never fully recovered
by the Byzantine people.
135
00:12:28,414 --> 00:12:32,218
This first wave of Turks
into the land of Magog
136
00:12:32,218 --> 00:12:34,987
later formed the Rum Sultanate.
137
00:12:38,457 --> 00:12:42,361
At about the same time,
around 12 10 AD,
138
00:12:42,361 --> 00:12:47,466
the eastern tribes of Gog Turk,
formed the khaganate of Mongolia.
139
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:52,004
And they proceeded to
conquer half the world.
140
00:12:59,578 --> 00:13:06,252
During that ruthless invasion many of the
people of the western Gog Turk tribes,
141
00:13:06,252 --> 00:13:11,423
now renamed to Kara-Kithan and
Kwarezm, fled for their lives
142
00:13:11,423 --> 00:13:14,760
and immigrated into
the area of Anatolia.
143
00:13:15,127 --> 00:13:19,563
A second wave of Turks
into the land of Magog.
144
00:13:21,834 --> 00:13:28,908
The Mongol empire could not sustain itself
with such large borders and broke up.
145
00:13:29,608 --> 00:13:35,214
And in those days the large immigration
of people from western Gog Turk
146
00:13:35,214 --> 00:13:39,084
into Anatolia were able
to organize themselves
147
00:13:39,084 --> 00:13:43,355
and form what would soon be
called the Ottoman Empire
148
00:14:07,046 --> 00:14:12,484
After the fall of the byzantine
capital of Constantinople
149
00:14:12,484 --> 00:14:18,224
the Ottomans were fueled with riches
and power and grew to an immense size.
150
00:14:30,202 --> 00:14:34,640
Later on they were
defeated and downscaled.
151
00:14:35,407 --> 00:14:39,411
And became what is
today known as Turkey.
152
00:14:42,982 --> 00:14:50,322
So as we can see just like Magog the
name Gog has nothing to do with Russia.
153
00:14:50,589 --> 00:14:53,959
And everything to
do with Turkey.
154
00:14:56,262 --> 00:15:00,525
Actually the term “Gog
from the land of Magog” is
155
00:15:00,550 --> 00:15:04,727
a perfect description of
today’s Turkish people.
156
00:15:05,170 --> 00:15:10,676
Explaining both their roots and
origin and their current location.
157
00:15:13,412 --> 00:15:17,850
Ezekiel’s prophecy becomes
even more impressive when
158
00:15:17,875 --> 00:15:22,145
you realize that it is
already half-way fulfilled.
159
00:15:22,388 --> 00:15:26,899
That is so because it is
believed that Ezekiel
160
00:15:26,924 --> 00:15:30,954
made his prophecy
sometime around 580 BC.
161
00:15:31,563 --> 00:15:37,870
Around 1140 years before the
Turkic tribes of the east
162
00:15:37,870 --> 00:15:43,943
started to associate themselves
with the name Gog in 560 AD.
163
00:15:44,777 --> 00:15:54,253
And around 1820 years before they immigrated
into the land of Magog in 1240 AD.
164
00:15:58,724 --> 00:16:04,196
This interpretation of the
identity of Gog being Turkey,
165
00:16:04,196 --> 00:16:10,402
rather than Russia, seems to be much more
in tune with today’s political situation.
166
00:16:13,205 --> 00:16:17,042
In 2018 an Israeli jet fighter
167
00:16:17,042 --> 00:16:23,849
conducting military operations in Syria was
detected by the Syrian air defense systems.
168
00:16:24,683 --> 00:16:31,123
The Israeli jet hid itself behind
an IL-20 Russian military plane.
169
00:16:31,857 --> 00:16:38,397
And the Syrian air defense rocket hit the
Russian plane killing 15 Russian servicemen.
170
00:16:38,831 --> 00:16:43,135
This had the makings
of a major conflict.
171
00:16:43,936 --> 00:16:50,142
However Vladimir Putin chose to take
the path of peace and good relations
172
00:16:50,142 --> 00:16:54,646
with Israel and did not take
any retaliatory measures.
173
00:16:55,047 --> 00:16:57,750
The whole incident
was forgotten.
174
00:17:00,853 --> 00:17:07,192
Turkey’s Erdogan, on the other hand, is
known to often make anti-Semitic statements
175
00:17:07,192 --> 00:17:12,064
and is not shy of constantly
making threats against Israel.
176
00:17:12,865 --> 00:17:17,903
With Turkey’s recent orientation
towards independence from NATO
177
00:17:17,903 --> 00:17:21,873
and a resurrection of the
Ottoman Empire, a conflict
178
00:17:21,898 --> 00:17:25,268
between Turkey and Israel
is not farfetched.
179
00:17:27,446 --> 00:17:34,253
So where is all this going and what can
we expect this Gog invasion to look like?
180
00:17:36,188 --> 00:17:43,328
In Sura 21, Verse 96 of the
Holy Quran it is stated:
181
00:17:44,496 --> 00:17:48,410
Until the Gog and Magog
(people) are let through (their
182
00:17:48,435 --> 00:17:51,928
barrier), and they swiftly
swarm from every hill.
183
00:17:52,304 --> 00:17:56,608
Then will the true promise
draw nigh (of fulfilment):
184
00:17:56,608 --> 00:18:02,714
then behold! the eyes of the Unbelievers
will fixedly stare in horror:
185
00:18:03,148 --> 00:18:10,355
"Ah! Woe to us! we were indeed heedless
of this; nay, we truly did wrong!"
186
00:18:10,823 --> 00:18:16,295
Verily ye, (unbelievers), and the (false)
gods that ye worship besides Allah,
187
00:18:16,295 --> 00:18:21,233
are (but) fuel for Hell! to
it will ye (surely) come!
188
00:18:23,268 --> 00:18:30,209
So obviously from the Quran’s perspective the
invasion of Gog will be a terrible plague
189
00:18:30,209 --> 00:18:35,080
with which God will punish those
of the Jews who are unbelievers.
190
00:18:36,415 --> 00:18:39,785
From Ezekiel’s
prophecy we learn:
191
00:18:40,886 --> 00:18:46,358
And thou shalt say, I will go up
to the land of unwalled villages;
192
00:18:46,792 --> 00:18:50,256
I will go to them that
are at rest, that dwell
193
00:18:50,281 --> 00:18:53,499
safely, all of them
dwelling without walls,
194
00:18:53,499 --> 00:18:59,338
and having neither bars nor gates,
To take a spoil, and to take a prey;
195
00:18:59,338 --> 00:19:04,409
to turn thine hand upon the desolate
places that are now inhabited
196
00:19:04,409 --> 00:19:08,147
and upon the people that are
gathered out of the nations,
197
00:19:08,147 --> 00:19:13,085
which have gotten cattle and goods,
that dwell in the midst of the land.
198
00:19:13,519 --> 00:19:16,263
And I will call for
a sword against him
199
00:19:16,288 --> 00:19:19,625
throughout all my mountains,
saith the Lord GOD:
200
00:19:19,625 --> 00:19:23,662
every man's sword shall
be against his brother.
201
00:19:24,196 --> 00:19:28,634
And I will plead against him
with pestilence and with blood;
202
00:19:28,634 --> 00:19:31,737
and I will rain upon
him, and upon his bands,
203
00:19:31,762 --> 00:19:34,706
and upon the many people
that are with him,
204
00:19:34,706 --> 00:19:39,978
an overflowing rain, and great
hailstones, fire, and brimstone.
205
00:19:40,946 --> 00:19:47,753
…Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the
chief prince of Meshech and Tubal:
206
00:19:48,187 --> 00:19:52,991
And I will turn thee back, and
leave but the sixth part of thee…
207
00:19:53,425 --> 00:19:57,246
And I will smite thy bow
out of thy left hand, and
208
00:19:57,271 --> 00:20:01,390
will cause thine arrows to
fall out of thy right hand.
209
00:20:01,833 --> 00:20:05,470
Thou shalt fall upon the
mountains of Israel…
210
00:20:05,904 --> 00:20:12,044
And I will send a fire on Magog, and among
them that dwell carelessly in the isles:
211
00:20:12,044 --> 00:20:14,880
and they shall know
that I am the LORD.
212
00:20:15,247 --> 00:20:18,591
And seven months shall
the house of Israel be
213
00:20:18,616 --> 00:20:22,178
burying of them, that they
may cleanse the land.
214
00:20:24,323 --> 00:20:30,662
So from all of this we can interpret
that Turkey will fail in its invasion
215
00:20:30,662 --> 00:20:34,800
and 5/6 of their armies
will be destroyed.
216
00:20:36,435 --> 00:20:42,608
We also see that the fall of Gog is not
solely attributed to the war itself
217
00:20:42,608 --> 00:20:48,880
but also to a punishment from God with the
raining of brimstone and fire from the sky.
218
00:20:49,715 --> 00:20:52,991
Which will not only affect
Turkey but also the
219
00:20:53,016 --> 00:20:56,012
people “dwelling
carelessly on the isles”.
220
00:20:56,588 --> 00:21:00,989
That obviously is a reference
to Greece since it is the
221
00:21:01,014 --> 00:21:05,021
only island region in the
entire surrounding area.
222
00:21:09,234 --> 00:21:13,705
Such a large scale war may
seem unlikely to many.
223
00:21:14,339 --> 00:21:21,113
But one should keep in mind that wars do
not start with full fury out of nothing,
224
00:21:21,113 --> 00:21:24,016
but are often a
gradual escalation.
225
00:21:24,816 --> 00:21:28,487
For example, a possible
scenario could be,
226
00:21:28,487 --> 00:21:31,790
a false flag terror
operation in the west,
227
00:21:31,790 --> 00:21:38,030
perhaps a dirty nuke in New York, which
leads to an invasion in Syria and Iran.
228
00:21:38,830 --> 00:21:44,903
That in turn causing an increase of
military presence in the area by Russia.
229
00:21:45,704 --> 00:21:52,210
The possible arming of Iran and Syria with
nuclear weapons to deter the western threat.
230
00:21:52,911 --> 00:21:55,480
The possible use
of these weapons.
231
00:21:56,214 --> 00:21:59,836
And the retaliation by
Israel which would be the
232
00:21:59,861 --> 00:22:03,112
popular prophecy of the
nuking of Damascus:
233
00:22:05,123 --> 00:22:08,260
Isaiah 17:
234
00:22:08,894 --> 00:22:15,367
Behold, Damascus is taken away from being
a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap.
235
00:22:15,801 --> 00:22:21,239
The fortress also shall cease from
Ephraim, and the kingdom from Damascus,
236
00:22:21,239 --> 00:22:26,078
and the remnant of Syria: they shall be
as the glory of the children of Israel.
237
00:22:26,912 --> 00:22:32,284
And in that day it shall come to pass, that
the glory of Jacob shall be made thin,
238
00:22:32,284 --> 00:22:36,088
and the fatness of his
flesh shall wax lean.
239
00:22:41,393 --> 00:22:45,607
A retaliatory nuclear strike
on Damascus by Israel
240
00:22:45,632 --> 00:22:50,092
could easily justify a full
force invasion by Turkey.
