~ JERUSALEM ~
THE BURDENSOME STONE ?



ON THE SUBJECT
MINE
~ PASTOR BILL ~

Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup
of drunkenness to all the surrounding peoples,
when they lay siege against Judah and
Jerusalem. And it shall happen in that
day that I will make Jerusalem a
very heavy stone for all peoples; all
who would heave it away will surely
be cut in pieces, though all nations of
the earth are gathered against it.
Zechariah 12:2,3

The word of the LORD came to
me :"Son of man, set your face
toward Gog, of the land of Magog,
the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal,
and prophesy against him and say,
Thus says the Lord GOD :
Behold, I am against you, O Gog,
chief prince of Meshech and Tubal;
and I will turn you about, and
put hooks into your jaws, and I
will bring you forth, and all your
army, horses and horsemen, all of them
clothed in full armor, a great company,
all of them with buckler and shield,
wielding swords; Persia, Cush, and Put are
with them, all of them with shield
and helmet; Gomer and all his hordes;
Beth-togar'mah from the uttermost parts of the
north with all his hordes--many peoples
are with you."Be ready and keep
ready, you and all the hosts that
are assembled about you, and be a guard
for them. After many days you will
be mustered; in the latter years you
will go against the land that is
restored from war, the land where people
were gathered from many nations upon the
mountains of Israel, which had been a
continual waste; its people were brought out
from the nations and now dwell securely,
all of them.
Ezekiel 38:1-8

In the biblical chapter commonly referred to
as the "Table of Nations" (Genesis 10),
scholars identify the lands, kingdoms,countries and
cities that are mentioned in the Ezekiel
prophecies. They are described as the grandsons
of Noah through his son Japheth, with
the exception of Rosh.(Genesis 10:1,2)
Magog is the second son, Tubal is
the fifth son and Meschech is
the sixth son.

Josephus the Historian said, "Magog is called
the Scythians by the Greeks. "He said
they lived in the northern regions above
the Caucasus mountains.

Pliny the Roman Historian noted that the
Scythians were the principle part of the
people who make up modern Russia.

The Greek name "Moschi" derived from the
Hebrew name Meshech is the source of
the name for the city of Moscow.
Tubal is from the founder of the
Tibereni, a people dwelling to the west of Moscow on
the Black Sea.

German scholar Dr. Keil said of Rosh :
"The Byzantine and Arabic writers frequently mention
a people called Ros and Rus, dwelling
in the country of Taurus, and reckoned
among the Scythian tribes."

Direction in the Bible is always from the
perspective of Israel. "The land to the
North" can only be Russia. Amazingly, Ezekiel
prophesied the rise of this atheistic world
power 2600 years ago.

The Allies mentioned in the Ezekiel
prophecies are the following :
