Magog is Russia. Is Ezekiel 38 a nuclear war?  Is Magog Russia though? The phrase "chief prince of Meshech and Tubal" is sometimes written as "chief prince of Rosh", which is where the belief comes from that Rosh means Russia. However,I've heard three different theories.  1/ The word "Rosh" does actually mean Russia.  2/ The word "Rosh" does not mean Russia.  3/ This is a reference to land that used to be in the Soviet Union, hence the understanding that it is referring to Russia. Now that the Soviet Union no longer exists, the geographical location of this land is in one of the former Soviet Republics (possibly one of the 'Stans' eg. Turkmenistan or Uzbekistan), and as these republics are predominantly Muslim, then this theory fits in with the rest of the nations that are attacking as they are predominantly Muslim too (eg. Persia, Cush and Put). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â The Rosh thing is quite complicated. I'm no expert on Ancient locations and their names. Some people think that Rosh derives from Rus, the old name for Russia. I can't say either way.

Is it nuclear? I don't think that it is. God often works through man, and lets his victories be done by the hands of man. In this case however, God appears to be doing it all himself. I think the victory is achieved mainly by natural disasters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
