Ethiopia is Sudan!
Ezekiel 38:5
By Craig C. White
We are told about an end time Turkish led invasion into Israel in Ezekiel 38. Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya will join Turkey in this invasion. Most folks know that Persia is the ancient name for today’s Iran. Libya is easily identified as today’s Libya. But when it comes to identifying Ethiopia we may falter. It seems obvious at first but the English translation is somewhat misleading. The English translators chose a convenient title for their day but the nation of Ethiopia didn’t exist at the time that Ezekiel wrote his prophecy!
Ezekiel 38:5 Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all of them with shield and helmet:
The name Ethiopia is only as old as about 400 AD. That name was given long after Ezekiel wrote his prophecy (Ezekiel 38:5)! The name Ethiopia comes from the Greek word “Aethiopia” referring to the people who lived south of Egypt. The original Hebrew word translated as “Ethiopia” in the English bible is the Hebrew word “Cush”. Look it up in your concordance! Cush was one of Noah’s grandsons who settled the land south of Egypt (Genesis 10, 1Chronicles 1). Sudan is the major nation today that is located directly south of Egypt. Ethiopia is southeast of Sudan. When you read “Ethiopia” in the English bible you can be certain that it is referring to the modern day nation of Sudan!
By the way all of these nations are represented in the forces fighting in Syria today! It seems likely that after the destruction of Damascus, Syria that these armies will turn south into Israel led by Turkey! It is High Time to Awake!

Craig, is it possible that Erdogan will risk attacking Kurds before the September 25 referendum on independence?

That’s a good question. The referendum is for Kurdish independence in Iraq. I don’t think that it places immediate pressure on Syrian Kurds to file for independence.

Could you tell us what is the best source for accurate information concerning events in Syria and the Middle East? We know the news in this country is not reporting accurately what is going on there. Thank you.

Hi Lynne. There are many good news sources online. Even CNN has some honest reporting on Middle East events. I would do a google search for info on the subjects that you are interested in under the news heading. For instance if you search for “Syrian Kurds” you will get a good picture of what is happening. It helps to keep informed over a long period of time.
