Princes of Turkey!

Princes of Turkey!

Most prominent amongst his brothers.

Ezekiel 38: 1-3

By Craig C. White

I know that most bible prophecy teachers say that Magog in the Ezekiel 38 refers to Russia. It is High Time to recognize that Magog is not Russia! That view came about by transcribing “chief” (or the Hebrew “rosh”) to mean Russia(Eze 38:1-3). Transposing Hebrew words into English phonetic equivalents is not proper bible prophecy interpretation technique. That technique is not used elsewhere to interpret bible prophecy. Rosh means first or primary.

Magog is mentioned in the genealogies of Genesis 10 as well as 1Chronicles 1. Magog is mentioned alongside of his brothers Meshech, Tubal, and Gomer, plus a few more. It is interesting to note that most bible prophecy teachers place Tubal, Gomer, Togarmah, and Meshech in today’s Turkey.

Magog, Meshech, Tubal, Gomer, and Togarmah are all people. As a matter of fact they are relatives. Magog, Meshech, Tubal and Gomer are brothers. Togarmah is Gomer’s son. They are among the first families to resettle the world after the devastation of Noah’s flood.

Gen 10:1-3 Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth: and unto them were sons born after the flood. 2 The sons of Japheth; Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras. 3 And the sons of Gomer; Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah.

Magog, Meshech, Tubal, and Gomer are also sons of Japheth. Japheth and his sons all settled in today’s Turkey. You could call Japheth the King of Turkey. His sons are all Princes. Magog was the chief or most prominent Prince amongst his brothers. Princes were set over provinces.

Eze 38:1-3 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 2 Son of man, set thy face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief Prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him, 3 And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief Prince of Meshech and Tubal:

Now let’s allow the bible to interpret the bible. The theme of Princes settling and ruling a land is used in many other places in the bible. The Princes of Israel are mentioned a bunch of times. Princes of other nations are also mentioned (1Sam 29:3, 2Sam 10:3, Esther 1:3, Esther 1:14, Psa 68:31, Psa 83:11, Isa 19:11, Isa 23:8, Isa 49:7, Jer 25:19, Jer 38:18, Eze 26:16, Eze 27:21, Dan 3:3, Mat 20:25, 1Co 2:6, plus many other verses). Princes typically refer to the sons of rulers. Princes were set over different provinces.

Esther 1:14And the next unto him was Carshena, Shethar, Admatha, Tarshish, Meres, Marsena, and Memucan, the seven Princes of Persia and Media, which saw the king’s face, and which sat the first in the kingdom;)

So Magog was the son of Japheth, king of today’s Turkey. Magog and his brothers ruled over different provinces in the land we call Turkey today. Magog was the chief Prince of Meshech and Tubal. In other words, Magog was the most prominent Prince amongst his brothers. Remember that Meshech and Tubal settled in today’s Turkey. In prophetic terms Magog is a primary leader of Turkey.

Proof of God

Proof of God

seen and done

By Craig C. White

What is the proof of God? Have you ever wondered why God doesn’t perform some amazing act and prove to everybody that he is the one true God? Well stay tuned! There is a battle brewing. Turkey will lead an invasion into Israel. They will be joined by Iran, Libya, and Sudan. God will contend with them so fiercely that the whole world will know that the God of Israel is the one true God.

Eze 38:23  Thus will I magnify myself, and sanctify myself; and I will be known in the eyes of many nations, and they shall know that I am the LORD.

This is called the “Battle of Gog and Magog”. This battle is brewing today. Simply put, Gog is Turkey and Magog is it’s leader. I think that the current Turkish Prime Minister, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan will incite this battle. I think that Erdoğan is the modern Magog. Like I said, stay tuned!

You don’t need to wait until the battle of Gog and Magog to see proof of God. The bible says that you are proof of God. The bible says that the world is proof of God. God created all things. All things are proof of God.

Isa 44:24  Thus saith the LORD, thy redeemer, and he that formed thee from the womb, I am the LORD that maketh all things; that stretcheth forth the heavens alone; that spreadeth abroad the earth by myself;

When you walk outside you notice the world. You see grass and trees and sky. You see the stars at night and think “Wow that is big and very beautiful!” You ask yourself, Is there a God? Every person sees the things that God has made. Because we see all of creation we know that there is a creator. God is shouting, “I made this; know me!” Creation is proof of God. Because we all can see the things that God has made, we are all accountable to know and honor him. God says that nobody has an excuse!

Rom 1:20  For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:

Mystery Babylon: Party till you Perish

Mystery Babylon: Party till you Perish

A tale of two cities

Isaiah 21:4

By Craig C. White

Dubai is the city called Mystery Babylon in Revelation 17:5.  Read my treatise Dubai: a Case for Mystery Babylon.

This commentary looks at the very day and very way of the destruction of “that great city” described in Revelation 17:18.

MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN (Dan 5:25).

God hath numbered thy kingdom, and finished it. Thou art weighed in the balances, and art found wanting. Thy kingdom is divided, and given to the Medes and Persians (Dan 5:26-28).

  That very night the Mede and Persian Empire conquered the Babylonian Empire (Dan 5:30-31). In much the same way Mystery Babylon will fall in the future.

Isa 21:2  A grievous vision is declared unto me; the treacherous dealer dealeth treacherously, and the spoiler spoileth. Go up, O Elam: besiege, O Media; all the sighing thereof have I made to cease.

Elam is ancient Persia or modern Iran. Media refers to the Medes or roughly the area of Northern Iraq, and Eastern Turkey. Today the Kurds represent the ancient Medes. Just as they destroyed Babylon in the past, they may destroy Dubai in the future.

Isa 21:4   My heart panted, fearfulness affrighted me: the night of my pleasure hath he turned into fear unto me.  5  Prepare the table, watch in the watchtower, eat, drink: arise, ye princes, and anoint the shield.

There is a principle in bible prophecy; that some prophecies have two distinct applications. They apply to two separate events usually separated by time. This is the case with several prophecies regarding the demise of ancient Babylon. They also apply to MYSTERY, BABYLON. Mystery Babylon is a city that exists during the Great Tribulation. The verse above describes the banqueting of the princes of Babylon. Their party was interrupted by an invasion. I suspect that like ancient Babylon, Dubai may be in the midst of a drunken party at the moment of their sudden demise.

Babylon… Babylon, echo…echo!

Share

BabylonBabylon… Babylon, echo…echo!

So not nice, they named it twice!

Revelation 17:18

by Craig C. White

  We learn in Revelation 17:18 that Mystery Babylon the Great is a city that exists at the same time as the final gentile world empire (or the New World Order). Mystery Babylon the city is on earth around the time of the Rapture and Tribulation. Mystery isn’t a Greek word translated into English. It is a Greek word simply said in English, mustērion. It means something that was not previously known. However, in its time it will become known or understood. So, Mystery Babylon probably isn’t the original city of Babylon. However, it does have the same characteristics.

  Here is a Greek word that will have you reevaluating your view on what city is called Mystery Babylon; echo! Wait for it…echo! The word translated reigneth in Revelation 17:18 is not the word that means “to rule over”. The original Greek word is echo. It means to have or hold. The whore and the city have a prurient influence over world leaders. That means that the city holds an appeal of sexual immorality and world dominance to other world leaders!

Rev 17:18  And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.

The woman represents idolatry and sexual immorality. We learn in this verse that she represents a specific city in the end time. Don’t let the final phrase confuse you. The original Greek word translated reigneth is echo. It does not mean “to rule over”. It means to have or hold.

Revelation 13 Wounded

Revelation 13 Wounded

You do that boo-boo that you do so well!

Revelation 13:1-3

By Craig C. White

In the interpretation of Revelation 13 there is a popular idea that the Antichrist will recover from a fatal wound. Are we looking for a man who has been wounded and lived? No. We are looking for an empire that has been wounded and lives again? We are looking for a revived gentile world empire similar to the ancient Roman Empire. Notice in the verse below that one of the beast’s heads was wounded. Heads in this verse represent world empires. Horns represent kings. The king isn’t wounded. The empire is wounded and revives again. We are not looking for a man with a wounded head. We are looking for a revived gentile world empire!

Revelation 13:1-3  And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.  2  And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.  3  And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.

We are not looking for a wounded Antichrist. We are looking for a “New World Order”. Unfortunately, the latter is a lot easier to find.
