00:00:57.579 --> 00:01:01.140
what<00:00:57.719><c> the</c><00:00:57.859><c> Bible</c><00:00:58.140><c> says</c><00:00:58.539><c> about</c><00:00:58.759><c> this</c><00:00:59.100><c> word</c><00:00:59.299><c> and</c><00:00:59.759><c> the</c><00:01:00.100><c> events</c><00:01:00.380><c> that</c><00:01:00.840><c> is</c>

00:01:31.319 --> 00:01:35.680

The<00:01:54.939><c> name</c><00:01:55.060><c> is</c><00:01:55.260><c> possibly</c><00:01:55.719><c> a</c><00:01:56.019><c> corruption</c><00:01:56.340><c> of</c><00:01:56.519><c> the</c><00:01:56.659><c> mountains</c><00:01:57.000><c> of</c>

00:02:00.659 --> 00:02:05.719

In<00:02:10.139><c> one</c><00:02:10.360><c> area,</c><00:02:10.699><c> we</c><00:02:10.879><c> see</c><00:02:11.039><c> that's</c><00:02:11.439><c> possibly</c><00:02:12.060><c> the</c><00:02:12.599><c> mountains</c><00:02:12.840><c> of</c><00:02:13.039><c> Megiddo,</c>

00:02:14.180 --> 00:02:17.360

00:02:23.000 --> 00:02:25.460
So<00:02:23.520><c> what</c><00:02:23.719><c> we'd</c><00:02:23.960><c> like</c><00:02:24.039><c> to</c><00:02:24.180><c> do</c><00:02:24.240><c> at</c><00:02:24.400><c> this</c><00:02:24.580><c> time</c><00:02:24.719><c> is</c><00:02:24.900><c> we'd</c><00:02:25.120><c> like</c><00:02:25.219><c> to</c>

00:24:49.789 --> 00:24:52.670
who<00:24:50.349><c> had</c><00:24:50.650><c> spread</c><00:24:50.809><c> themselves</c><00:24:51.269><c> from</c><00:24:51.490><c> the</c><00:24:51.650><c> river</c><00:24:51.970><c> Tannis,</c><00:24:52.549><c> or</c>

00:24:58.869 --> 00:25:02.509
And<00:24:58.970><c> so</c><00:24:59.109><c> again</c><00:24:59.329><c> we</c><00:24:59.490><c> get</c><00:24:59.750><c> the</c><00:25:00.730><c> general</c><00:25:01.190><c> location,</c><00:25:02.009><c> and</c><00:25:02.210><c> we've</c>

00:25:02.509 --> 00:25:05.430

00:25:05.710 --> 00:25:10.210
we<00:25:05.829><c> get</c><00:25:05.970><c> a</c><00:25:06.130><c> general</c><00:25:06.529><c> sense</c><00:25:06.869><c> of</c><00:25:07.750><c> where</c><00:25:08.130><c> the</c><00:25:08.690><c> historians</c><00:25:09.069><c> and</c>

00:25:11.809 --> 00:25:14.329
And<00:25:12.430><c> so</c><00:25:12.630><c> again</c><00:25:12.890><c> here's</c><00:25:13.150><c> another</c><00:25:13.430><c> overhead</c><00:25:13.769><c> just</c><00:25:14.069><c> showing</c><00:25:14.210><c> the</c>

location<00:25:14.910><c> of</c><00:25:15.170><c> Magog,</c>

00:25:18.890 --> 00:25:21.549
and<00:25:18.950><c> Josephus'</c><00:25:19.809><c> phrase</c><00:25:20.029><c> here,</c><00:25:20.390><c> between</c><00:25:20.589><c> the</c><00:25:20.769><c> river</c><00:25:20.990><c> Don</c><00:25:21.309><c> and</c>

00:25:21.549 --> 00:25:24.230
the<00:25:21.670><c> river</c><00:25:22.109><c> Danube.</c>

00:25:24.690 --> 00:25:30.049
And<00:25:24.789><c> so</c><00:25:24.970><c> although</c><00:25:25.430><c> Gog</c><00:25:25.829><c> is</c><00:25:26.769><c> prince</c><00:25:27.349><c> of</c><00:25:27.690><c> the</c><00:25:27.890><c> Russians,</c><00:25:29.670><c> he</c><00:25:29.829><c> is</c>

00:25:30.049 --> 00:25:31.769
of<00:25:30.329><c> Magog,</c><00:25:30.750><c> we're</c><00:25:30.970><c> told.</c>

00:25:32.170 --> 00:25:35.710
But<00:25:32.410><c> we</c><00:25:32.970><c> read</c><00:25:33.210><c> in</c><00:25:33.410><c> Genesis</c><00:25:33.710><c> that</c><00:25:33.950><c> both</c><00:25:34.269><c> were</c><00:25:34.609><c> the</c><00:25:34.789><c> sons</c><00:25:35.049><c> of</c><00:25:35.230><c> Japheth,</c><00:25:35.630><c> the</c>

00:25:35.710 --> 00:25:36.950
son<00:25:35.849><c> of</c><00:25:36.109><c> Noah.</c>

00:25:37.109 --> 00:25:40.250
And<00:25:37.630><c> so</c><00:25:37.829><c> this</c><00:25:38.009><c> is</c><00:25:38.170><c> why</c><00:25:38.490><c> Josephus</c><00:25:39.049><c> says</c><00:25:39.269><c> that</c><00:25:39.529><c> Magog</c><00:25:39.910><c> founded</c>

00:25:40.250 --> 00:25:43.950
the<00:25:40.609><c> Magogai,</c><00:25:41.589><c> whom</c><00:25:41.710><c> the</c><00:25:41.930><c> Greeks</c><00:25:42.130><c> then</c><00:25:42.390><c> called</c><00:25:42.650><c> Scythi.</c>

00:25:45.069 --> 00:25:48.150
So<00:25:45.269><c> it's</c><00:25:45.490><c> interesting</c><00:25:45.950><c> where</c><00:25:46.210><c> we</c><00:25:46.490><c> see</c><00:25:46.630><c> this,</c><00:25:47.569><c> and</c><00:25:47.650><c> just</c><00:25:47.869><c> going</c>

00:25:48.150 --> 00:25:50.650
on<00:25:48.470><c> there</c><00:25:48.690><c> it</c><00:25:48.829><c> says</c><00:25:48.930><c> the</c><00:25:49.190><c> Scythians</c><00:25:49.690><c> of</c><00:25:50.049><c> Herodotus</c>

00:25:50.650 --> 00:25:56.029
appear<00:25:51.049><c> to</c><00:25:51.250><c> have</c><00:25:51.430><c> extended</c><00:25:51.730><c> themselves</c><00:25:52.170><c> in</c><00:25:52.349><c> length</c><00:25:52.509><c> from</c><00:25:53.130><c> Hungary,</c><00:25:54.049><c> Transylvania,</c><00:25:55.730><c> on</c>

00:25:56.029 --> 00:25:58.829
the<00:25:56.210><c> westward</c><00:25:56.609><c> to</c><00:25:56.769><c> the</c><00:25:56.910><c> river</c><00:25:57.170><c> Don</c><00:25:57.410><c> on</c><00:25:57.650><c> the</c><00:25:57.789><c> eastward.</c>

00:25:59.829 --> 00:26:02.190
And<00:26:00.029><c> so</c><00:26:00.150><c> we</c><00:26:00.349><c> see</c><00:26:00.529><c> this</c><00:26:00.769><c> location</c><00:26:01.329><c> given</c><00:26:01.569><c> as</c><00:26:01.869><c> well.</c>

00:26:02.190 --> 00:26:05.710
So<00:26:02.670><c> really</c><00:26:03.130><c> Magog</c><00:26:03.529><c> comprises</c><00:26:04.130><c> an</c><00:26:04.329><c> area</c><00:26:04.609><c> which</c><00:26:04.950><c> could</c><00:26:05.329><c> also</c>

00:26:05.710 --> 00:26:07.569
include<00:26:05.970><c> Germany</c><00:26:06.390><c> and</c><00:26:06.630><c> Poland.</c>

00:26:08.029 --> 00:26:10.430
Therefore,<00:26:08.690><c> when</c><00:26:08.769><c> we're</c><00:26:08.950><c> looking</c><00:26:09.210><c> at</c><00:26:09.410><c> these</c><00:26:09.609><c> areas,</c><00:26:10.250><c> Gog</c><00:26:10.309><c> is</c>

00:26:10.430 --> 00:26:13.450
from<00:26:10.730><c> the</c><00:26:10.930><c> land</c><00:26:11.089><c> of</c><00:26:11.369><c> the</c><00:26:11.470><c> Scythians,</c><00:26:12.269><c> or</c><00:26:12.390><c> Germany</c><00:26:12.730><c> and</c><00:26:12.930><c> Hungary,</c>

00:26:13.829 --> 00:26:16.670
and<00:26:14.049><c> is</c><00:26:14.289><c> leader</c><00:26:14.609><c> also</c><00:26:15.269><c> of</c><00:26:15.490><c> the</c><00:26:15.650><c> Russians.</c>

00:26:17.470 --> 00:26:20.950
Very<00:26:17.769><c> interesting</c><00:26:18.269><c> to</c><00:26:18.769><c> understand</c><00:26:19.410><c> this</c><00:26:19.930><c> language.</c>

00:26:21.230 --> 00:26:23.589
And<00:26:21.309><c> I</c><00:26:21.670><c> realize</c><00:26:21.970><c> there's</c><00:26:22.170><c> a</c><00:26:22.250><c> lot</c><00:26:22.450><c> of</c><00:26:22.690><c> history</c><00:26:22.950><c> and</c><00:26:23.130><c> geography</c>

00:26:23.589 --> 00:26:25.470
in<00:26:23.730><c> what</c><00:26:23.869><c> we're</c><00:26:24.049><c> looking</c><00:26:24.329><c> at</c><00:26:24.490><c> this</c><00:26:24.670><c> evening,</c>

00:26:26.069 --> 00:26:29.150
but<00:26:26.069><c> this</c><00:26:26.670><c> is</c><00:26:26.849><c> why</c><00:26:26.970><c> it's</c><00:26:27.049><c> so</c><00:26:27.329><c> important,</c><00:26:27.769><c> brothers</c><00:26:27.849><c> and</c><00:26:28.089><c> sisters.</c>

00:26:29.289 --> 00:26:34.230
The<00:26:29.769><c> reason</c><00:26:30.069><c> being</c><00:26:30.430><c> that,</c><00:26:31.049><c> again,</c><00:26:31.490><c> we</c><00:26:31.630><c> showed</c><00:26:31.769><c> at</c><00:26:31.950><c> the</c><00:26:32.049><c> beginning</c><00:26:32.390><c> how</c><00:26:32.890><c> when</c><00:26:33.269><c> we</c><00:26:33.490><c> mistranslate</c>

00:26:34.349 --> 00:26:37.049
and<00:26:34.549><c> we</c><00:26:34.710><c> start</c><00:26:34.890><c> getting</c><00:26:35.130><c> different</c><00:26:35.450><c> ideas</c><00:26:35.829><c> of</c><00:26:36.329><c> locations,</c>

00:26:37.490 --> 00:26:38.930
it's<00:26:37.609><c> very</c><00:26:37.849><c> important.</c>

00:26:39.250 --> 00:26:43.809
The<00:26:39.509><c> Bible</c><00:26:39.869><c> is</c><00:26:40.490><c> cryptic</c><00:26:41.069><c> to</c><00:26:41.230><c> some</c><00:26:41.450><c> degree,</c><00:26:41.829><c> but</c><00:26:42.029><c> it's</c><00:26:42.609><c> for</c><00:26:42.710><c> the</c><00:26:42.930><c> simple.</c>

00:26:44.789 --> 00:26:48.390

00:29:39.690 --> 00:29:42.990
This<00:29:39.930><c> is</c><00:29:40.170><c> the</c><00:29:40.289><c> familiar</c><00:29:40.650><c> name</c><00:29:40.910><c> used</c><00:29:41.150><c> by</c><00:29:41.470><c> all</c><00:29:41.990><c> earlier</c><00:29:42.450><c> Greek</c>

00:30:05.430 --> 00:30:10.690
So<00:30:05.490><c> therefore</c><00:30:05.890><c> Gomer</c><00:30:06.349><c> we're</c><00:30:07.369><c> told</c><00:30:07.529><c> is</c><00:30:07.849><c> ancient</c><00:30:08.309><c> Gaul</c><00:30:08.670><c> migrated</c><00:30:09.109><c> from</c><00:30:09.430><c> Galatia</c><00:30:10.269><c> or</c>

00:30:12.970 --> 00:30:16.970

00:30:17.309 --> 00:30:20.130
And<00:30:17.410><c> the</c><00:30:17.589><c> France</c><00:30:17.809><c> overran</c><00:30:18.390><c> Gaul</c><00:30:19.009><c> and</c><00:30:19.250><c> subdued</c><00:30:19.650><c> it.</c>

00:30:20.250 --> 00:30:22.970

00:30:24.480 --> 00:30:28.619
So<00:30:25.460><c> Magog</c><00:30:26.000><c> is</c><00:30:26.779><c> also</c><00:30:27.160><c> in</c><00:30:27.319><c> this</c><00:30:27.539><c> area.</c>

00:30:42.539 --> 00:30:47.160
This<00:30:42.759><c> is</c><00:30:43.039><c> probably</c><00:30:43.480><c> to</c><00:30:43.700><c> be</c><00:30:43.900><c> understood</c><00:30:44.299><c> as</c><00:30:45.039><c> the</c><00:30:45.460><c> Kimiri</c><00:30:46.099><c> inhabiting</c><00:30:46.839><c> the</c>

00:30:53.400 --> 00:31:02.059

00:43:16.260 --> 00:43:19.219
In<00:43:16.400><c> fact,</c><00:43:16.920><c> it's</c><00:43:17.139><c> my</c><00:43:17.739><c> strong</c><00:43:17.980><c> belief</c><00:43:18.320><c> that</c><00:43:18.480><c> we</c><00:43:18.679><c> probably</c><00:43:19.000><c> won't</c>

00:43:24.739 --> 00:43:28.320
Because<00:43:25.179><c> all</c><00:43:25.539><c> the</c><00:43:25.780><c> prophecies</c><00:43:26.159><c> that</c><00:43:26.320><c> we</c><00:43:26.420><c> have</c><00:43:26.599><c> looked</c><00:43:26.800><c> at,</c><00:43:27.139><c> not</c><00:43:27.179><c> only</c><00:43:27.400><c> this</c><00:43:27.639><c> evening</c><00:43:27.920><c> but</c><00:43:28.119><c> at</c>

00:43:39.719 --> 00:43:42.320
And<00:43:39.860><c> scripture</c><00:43:40.119><c> shows</c><00:43:40.500><c> that</c><00:43:40.679><c> it</c><00:43:40.760><c> will</c><00:43:41.000><c> most</c><00:43:41.219><c> likely</c><00:43:41.519><c> be</c><00:43:41.940><c> a</c><00:43:42.159><c> 10</c>

00:43:46.820 --> 00:43:49.760
And<00:43:47.059><c> so,</c><00:43:48.019><c> we</c><00:43:48.119><c> can</c><00:43:48.300><c> be</c><00:43:48.500><c> called</c><00:43:48.679><c> away</c><00:43:48.880><c> at</c><00:43:49.099><c> any</c><00:43:49.300><c> moment.</c>
