Ezekiel 38 and 39 Modern Nations

[AKJVReader]

Many of the nations we hear about in today's news existed in ancient times but under different names. By using the ancient names for the countries He prophesied about, the Lord made possible the use of scripture to interpret scripture. Much of the information below can be gained by referencing Genesis 10, the so-called Table of Nations, in a good study Bible. Learning the modern names of the nations whose founding families are listed there really helps connect Bible prophecy to current events. As someone wants to know what are the modern nations of today in Ezekiel 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 against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal:
5 Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all of them with shield and helmet:
6 Gomer, and all his bands; the house of Togarmah of the north quarters, and all his bands: and many people with thee.
13 Sheba, and Dedan, and the merchants of Tarshish, with all the young lions thereof, shall say unto thee, Art thou come to take a spoil? hast thou gathered thy company to take a prey? to carry away silver and gold, to take away cattle and goods, to take a great spoil?

Do the Israeli's and the Jews know which nations they are?

Middle East at the time of the Patriarchs:

Just so people get the idea Ezekiel isn't talking about Russia and the EU.

Hmmm if we adopt 'modern equivalents ; to the weaponry described shall we also manufacture a modern equivalent of circumcision?

What good is surviving the war only to be refused entrance to the temple?
