Who is Gog of Ezekiel 38 and 39? (Part 2)
Notice there are exactly 72 bricks in the unfinished pyramid under the Eye of Providence at the back of the US Dollar, laid up in exactly 13 layers. The number 72, which is 6 x (6 + 6), bears the pattern of 666, which is the number of the beast according to:
Revelation 13:18 "Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six."
Take note of the chapter number and verse number of this verse i.e. 13 and 18. The number 13 is the number of layers of the unfinished pyramid which comprise of 72 bricks, representing the 72 original nations. The number 18, which is 6 + 6 + 6, bears the pattern of the number of the beast (666). According to Genesis 10, there were not 70, but 72 nations that came out of the loins of Shem, Ham and Japheth, the three sons of Noah, out of which the whole earth was overspread.
These were the original nations whereby the earth was divided after the Great Flood of Genesis. Notice a number pattern here:
72 = 6 x (6 + 6) or
72 = (2 + 2) x (6 + 6 + 6) or
72 = (1 + 3) x (6 + 6 + 6)
Interestingly, the number 72 bears the patterns of the number 13, 22 and 666. The number 22 is the number of times "mystery" is found in the King James Bible. Mystery is a reference to the strange woman in the Bible, the body of sin. The body of sin is the body of the "man of sin" (2 Thessalonians 2:3) whose number is 666.
Matthew 13:37-39 "He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man; The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one; The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels."
There are two kingdoms:
the children of the kingdom are they which receive the word and bear the fruits of righteousness. These belong to the kingdom of God;
the children of the wicked one are they which reject the word and bear no fruit of repentance in their lives. These belong to the kingdom of the Devil.
Revelation 17:5 "And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH."
Babylon is a kingdom. The word "babylon" is found exactly 286 times in the King James Bible, and 286 = 13 x 22 bears the pattern of the numbers 13 and 22, which is a reference to the body of sin, the strange woman. All forms of the word "Agag" (Agag, Agagite) are found exactly 13 times in the King James Bible. The number 13 is a reference to:
mystery Babylon (Rev 17:5) given to us in exactly 13 words;
"men of Sodom" (Gen 13:13) given to us in 13 words;
opposite of "love of God" found exactly 13x in KJV;
opposite of "Ruth" found exactly 13x in KJV;
opposite of "grace" and "mercy" which are found together 13x in KJV;
opposite of "charity" in 1 Corinthians 13, 13 verses;
opposite of "the king's daughter" (Psa 45:13) given to us in exactly 13 words;
opposite of the "wise virgins" in Matthew 25:1-13 given to us in exactly 13 verses.
Agag was a title conferred to the king of the Amalekites (1 Samuel 15:8, 20, 32). Haman, in the Book of Esther, was an Agagite, meaning he was descended from the last Amalekite king, Agag (Esther 3:1). Agag was “the enemy of all the Jews” (Esther 9:24). They were the first to oppose Israel (Exodus 17:8; Numbers 24:20).
Amalek was born to Eliphaz and Timna, and Eliphaz was the son of Esau and Adah. The father of Amalek (Eliphaz), was a part Hittite whose mother (Adah) was a Canaanite. (Genesis 36:12) The mother of Amalek - Timna, was a Horite descended from Seir whose ancestry is unknown (Genesis 36:20-22). Therefore, Amalek was the 5th generation grandson of Abraham through the genetic line of Esau. While it is true Amalek's name designated his tribal descendants, it is also true that there was an "Amalek" that dates back BEFORE the time of Esau; and this is backed up by the account of Chedorlaomer and the kings in:
Genesis 14:7 "And they returned, and came to En–mishpat, which is Kadesh, and smote all the country of the Amalekites, and also the Amorites, that dwelt in Hazezon–tamar."
When Balaam the son of Beor "looked on Amalek" (Numbers 24:20) he said: "Amalek was the FIRST of the nations; but his latter end shall be that he perish for ever." When the children of Israel first met the Amalekites at Rephidim (Exodus 17:8), the Amalekites were already first among the nations of Arabia. Therefore Amalek has an ancient origin that precedes the time of Esau, but later Eliphaz (part Hittite) the son of Esau named his son "Amalek". In this, the Bible is showing us a close connection between the Hittites and ancient Amalek. Furthermore, the descendants of Esau through Amalek would be joined unto ancient Amalek in time to come.
Genesis 27:41 "¶ And Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing wherewith his father blessed him: and Esau said in his heart, The days of mourning for my father are at hand; then will I slay my brother Jacob."
Esau hated Jacob as much as Amalek was the mortal enemy of ancient Israel. Consider Esau, where Amalek was descended from. He was the son of Isaac and Rebekah, and he was "... red, all over like an hairy garment" (Genesis 25:25). Scarlet is the colour of sin (Isaiah 1:18). The Beast in Revelation 17:3 was scarlet in colour. Link this to the "man of sin" of 2 Thessalonian 2:3 whose number is 666.
Genesis 25:23 "And the LORD said unto her, Two nations are in thy womb, and two manner of people shall be separated from thy bowels; and the one people shall be stronger than the other people; and the elder shall serve the younger."
God said to Rebekah: "... TWO NATIONS are in thy womb, and TWO MANNER OF PEOPLE shall be separated from thy bowels...". This prophecy is not just restricted to Esau and Jacob, but two nations and two manner of people.
Romans 9:13 "As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated."
Jacob is a reference to the children of God: virtuous woman; Ruth; mystery of godliness; wisdom that is from above that is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy; love of God; Charity; body of Christ; the church; the king's daughter; tree of life.
Esau is a reference to the children of the Devil: strange woman; Jezebel; mystery of iniquity; wisdom that is not from above but is earthly sensual and devilish; harlotry love; mystery Babylon; tree of the knowledge of good and evil, and the body of sin.
Consider the following prophecies against Amalek:
Exodus 17:14 "And the LORD said unto Moses, Write this for a memorial in a book, and rehearse it in the ears of Joshua: for I will utterly put out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven."
God will utterly put out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven.
Exodus 17:16 "For he said, Because the LORD hath sworn that the LORD will have war with Amalek from generation to generation."
The LORD will have war with Amalek from generation to generation.
Numbers 24:20 "¶ And when he looked on Amalek, he took up his parable, and said, Amalek was the first of the nations; but his latter end shall be that he perish for ever."
Amalek was the first of the nations; but his latter end shall be that he perish for ever. In fact, the entire Book of Esther is a foreshadow of the Amalek's rise to power and his utter destruction in the latter end.
Numbers 14:25 "(Now the Amalekites and the Canaanites dwelt in the valley.) To morrow turn you, and get you into the wilderness by the way of the Red sea."
The Amalekites were valley-dwellers. The phrase "the valley of Hamon-gog" is found twice, in Ezekiel 39:11,15. Here, the Bible is making a connection between Haman the Agagite and Gog of Ezekiel 38 and 39, as we shall soon see.
Ezekiel 39:11-15 "¶ And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will give unto Gog a place there of graves in Israel, the valley of the passengers on the east of the sea: and it shall stop the noses of the passengers: and there shall they bury Gog and all his multitude: and they shall call it The valley of Hamon–gog... And the passengers that pass through the land, when any seeth a man’s bone, then shall he set up a sign by it, till the buriers have buried it in the valley of Hamon–gog."
Compare this with:
Revelation 16:14-16 "For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty... And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon."
This passage is a reference to:
Zechariah 12:11 "In that day shall there be a great mourning in Jerusalem, as the mourning of Hadadrimmon in the valley of Megiddon."
Gog and his army will perish in the valley of Hamon–gog. The "man of sin", the kings of the earth and their armies will perish in the valley of Megiddon which in the Hebrew tongue is called "Armageddon". Hamon-gog is a reference to Armageddon or Megiddon i.e. Gog is the "man of sin". BTW, notice the words "Hadad-rimmon" in Zechariah 12:11 which is a reference to "Ben–Hadad" the king of Syria in this verse:
1 Kings 20:1 "And Ben–hadad the king of Syria gathered all his host together: and there were thirty and two kings with him, and horses, and chariots: and he went up and besieged Samaria, and warred against it."
There are exactly 32 verses in Genesis 10 covering all 72 nations. There were 32 kings allied with Ben-hadad king of Syria. Notice what Isaiah 14:25 calls the "man of sin" --- the Bible calls him "the Assyrian":
Isaiah 14:24-26 "The LORD of hosts hath sworn, saying, Surely as I have thought, so shall it come to pass; and as I have purposed, so shall it stand: That I will break the Assyrian in my land, and upon my mountains tread him under foot: then shall his yoke depart from off them, and his burden depart from off their shoulders. This is the purpose that is purposed upon the whole earth: and this is the hand that is stretched out upon all the nations."
In Ezekiel 38 and 39, Gog will lead the nations of the earth up against Israel in the battle of Armageddon. In Isaiah 14:24-26 God will break "the Assyrian" in "my land" (Israel) and upon the mountains will God tread him under foot.
Ezekiel 39:4 "Thou shalt fall upon the mountains of Israel, thou, and all thy bands, and the people that is with thee: I will give thee unto the ravenous birds of every sort, and to the beasts of the field to be devoured."
In Ezekiel 39:4, Gog and his armies shall fall upon the mountains of Israel. Therefore Isaiah 14:24-26 is in fact a prophecy about Gog of Ezekiel 38 and 39.
Ezekiel 38:17 "Thus saith the Lord GOD; Art thou he of whom I have spoken in old time by my servants the prophets of Israel, which prophesied in those days many years that I would bring thee against them?".
This verse shows that God has already revealed Gog’s identity by his prophets of the Old Testament in time past. Ezekiel 38:14 further adds:
Ezekiel 38:14 "Therefore, son of man, prophesy and say unto Gog, Thus saith the Lord GOD; In that day when my people of Israel dwelleth safely, shalt thou not know it?"
This verse reveals that Gog has been watching Israel in secret, and has been planning for an attack when Israel will be dwelling in false peace and safety, to take them by surprise. This goes along with:
1 Thessalonians 5:3 "For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape."
The "they" in the context of this verse refers to the enemies of the children of God. When "they" shall say "peace and safety", that is when Gog would come against Israel “as a cloud to cover the land” (Ezekiel 38:16), just as Israel was “dwelling without walls” (Ezekiel 38:11) suddenly and without notice. Link the above to the first encounter of the children of Israel with Amalek in Exodus 17, when they were still in the wilderness and “dwelling without walls”, when Amalek carried out a surprise attack on them.
Exodus 17:8 "Then came Amalek, and fought with Israel in Rephidim."
The enemy that attacked the children of Israel in time past in this manner will be the same enemy that will attack Israel in time to come in like manner. There is no new thing under the sun.
Ezekiel 39:2 "And I will turn thee back, and leave but the sixth part of thee, and will cause thee to come up from the north parts, and will bring thee upon the mountains of Israel:"
Gog's destruction was foretold. The entire of Gog except for a sixth part will be destroyed. God shall leave but a sixth part of Gog which he shall deal with at the end of the millennium.
Revelation 20:7-9 "And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison, And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea. And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them."
Amalek too, was prophesied for utter destruction in the latter end (r. Exodus 17:14; Exodus 17:16; Numbers 24:20). So, will the "man of sin" come from the lineage of Esau through Amalek? It is my opinion that the "man of sin" will be an Agagite. The descendants of Esau became known as the Edomites and that includes the Amalekites according to Genesis 36:9-19.
Genesis 36:9-12 "And these are the generations of Esau the father of the Edomites in mount Seir:.. And Timna was concubine to Eliphaz Esau’s son; and she bare to Eliphaz Amalek: these were the sons of Adah Esau’s wife.""
Esau was born red and hairy all over. The Beast (man of sin) according to Revelation 17:3 was scarlet in colour, and scarlet is the colour of sin according to Isaiah 1:18.
Genesis 25:25 "And the first came out red, all over like an hairy garment; and they called his name Esau."
Perhaps not so coincidentally, there are 13 Illuminati bloodlines, the same as the number of times all forms of the word "Agag" (Agag, Agagite) are found in the King James Bible. In the name of "Rothschild", "Roth" is translated "Red" (http://www.surnamedb.com/Surname/Roth). So "Rothschild" means "Red's Child" i.e. descendants of Esau, also known as Edomites. BTW, the word "first" which is a reference to Esau is also found in:
Numbers 24:20 "And when he looked on Amalek, he took up his parable, and said, Amalek was the first of the nations; but his latter end shall be that he perish for ever."
Amalek was descended from Esau. Numbers 24:20 calls Amalek "first" of the nations.
Matthew 13:30 "Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn."
The word "first" is a reference to Esau in Genesis 25:25. According to Matthew 13:30, the tares shall be gathered first, to be bound in bundles and be burned. But taking the verse literally, notice how the Bible calls the tares "first", just like how the word of God calls Amalek "first" in Numbers 24:20. In fact, we find a fulfillment of Matthew 13:30 in:
Revelation 19:19-20 "And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army. And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone."
Revelation 20:15 "And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire."
Likewise, the beast (man of sin) will be gathered together with the kings of the earth and their armies, and they shall be cast into the lake of fire and be burn for eternity.
