The Bible has a lot of strange locations thrown at us in Ezekiel 38 and 39. 

Persia, Cush, Put, Gomer, Meshech, Tubal, Beth-Togarmah, Mos Eisley, Alderaan, Obi-Wan Kenobi, you’d need a time machine to know where all these places are. 

In fact, you’d need a space ship, too, because some of them only exist in a galaxy far, far away. 

Since we don’t have time travel technology all figured out yet, we’ll have to rely on history to tell us where all these places are. 

But why is knowing all these names important, anyway? Because these are the nations or peoples who are prophesied to come against Israel in an epic battle in the last days. The famous prophecy of Gog and Magog.

And this prophecy’s fulfillment may be close. And it may not. That’s why we have to understand what nations we should be watching closely. Once we’ve established who is who in this biblical drama, we’ll know how to see them coming into alignment with this prophecy- and perhaps be able to track how close we are to Gog and Magog’s battle play out. 

I’ll teach you the signs we’re looking for today on the Cross References podcast.
