The Sons of Tubal and Meshech Explored..
There is a famous biblical prophecy concerning Armageddon and the "sons of Tubal and Meshech, from the land of Magog". There is alot of speculation
over "Gog and Magog", the territory supposedly designated as Magog, and what it all means.
Clearly the passages state that these men will be against God and against the children of God / followers of the Lamb. I was looking for it just now
but it alluded me, but readers of Revelation know the part I speak of.
Rev.20:8.
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.
Ez.38:2
'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 agaisnt thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal:
These are two different references at two different times. When Ezekiel tells us about Gog and Magog he is speaking of an event that will occur
before the millennium, actually just before the beginning - the final war.
Chief is #7218 Ro'sh or the same as #7220 the name of an Isr. and of a for. nation.
So...the foreign nation, Rosh, changed to Roush and means Russia. It's prince of Russia would be the government, Moscow, which is where Mescheh of
old, is today. Tubal was a little south of there, probably where the children of Esau settled.
Magog, as found in Ezekiel is :
#4031 Magowg, a son of Japeth, also a
barbarous northern region.
The barbarous northern region of Russia will be the one God is against and the one He will smite. They seem to be warming up for that battle now
after a short period of rest.
The next reference to Gog and Magog, as found in Revelation 20:8, happens at the end of the millennium. This isn't the same Gog and Magog in Ezekiel
as they were destroyed. Here it is speaking about those from everywhere, east and west, that will decide to follow Satan after he is released for a
short time. They will be thrown in the lake of fire and we go into the eternity.
Another consideration too is that Cain had a descendant named Tubal-cain.
