Netanyahu Says He Rejects Donald Trump's Remarks Against Muslims

For an ‘American Constitutionalist’, you don’t know much about the Constitution. Nothing unconstitutional about what Trump said. We have the right to exclude anyone we choose (aside from citizens reentering) from coming into the country. Foreigners have no Constitutional right to enter our country. If you believe the 1st amendment prevents a religious test from being used, then you misunderstand the 1st amendment.

I’m sure Bibi and Trump will come to an understanding during Trump’s visit. Bibi knows Trump is a friend.

Thanks for doing the homework. I’m glad to have this clarification.

Is he going to tell Trump that when they meet in a couple of weeks?

Who knows? But with his statement, he pretty much already has told him what he thinks.

The good thing is that Ezekiel does not refer to Russia but to Turkey

Russia helps the Christians in the Middle East -- unlike Obama

We should not conflate Russia with Magog -- gog/magog does not refer to Russia -- i.e. Magog is NOT Russia but Turkey

The correct identification of Magog with Lydia and not Scythia is consistent with the ancient texts of the Assyrians, who at various times were either the allies or the foes of the Scythians, but had peaceful dealings with the Lydians, who they also referred to as "Magog." Within academia today, no professional archeologists, historians or serious Bible researchers associate Magog with the Scythians or the Scythians with the Russians. The truth is that modern scholars have unequivocally documented that a group of Scandinavian Viking traders called the Rus began the Russian state during the mid AD 800's, and gave their name to Russia. Therefore there is no historical or factual basis for any connection of Russia to Magog.

Magog is NOT Russia but Turkey -- Ankara is north of Jerusalem

The reliable, clear and detailed records of Assyrian Royal Court show they dealt directly with each of these nations about 100 years before Ezekiel wrote. These are the same records that are referred to in Ezra 4:15, 19 and 5:17-6:7. These passages tell how the Jews of the fifth century BC 538 BCâ€“457 BC overcame opposition by the local Persian governor to the rebuilding of the Temple in Jerusalem by referring to these same Assyrian cuneiform court records.

The Assyrian Court records show dealings with Magog, Meshech, Tubal, and Togarmah (Ezekiel 38:3-6), the nations that stretched across ancient Asia Minor (modern Turkey) from west to east. From these records we also learn that the ancient nation of Gomer (Ezekiel 38:6), an enemy of the Assyrians invaded Asia Minor by coming down from an area around the northeast shore of the Black Sea. Archeologists know that the militant leader called "Gog" in Ezekiel 38/39 led a confederacy of these nations against invading Gomer.

========================================================

Gog is a historical man who the Greeks called Gyges of Lydia. In Gyges of Lydia we have the leader the Assyrians called "Gugu, King of Ludu," and "Gugu of Magugu," who is referred to in the Bible as Gog of Magog. "Magog" simply means "the land of Gog." In Akkadian ma means land, so in Akkadian Ma- gugu means "the land of Gugu," which becomes our Ma-gog. (Just as the Assyrian eponym for the land of the leader called Zamua is rendered as Ma-zamua). Magog is an eponym for the ancient nation of Lydia that was in the westernmost part of Asia Minor. The Assyrians often referred to a new land by the name of the first leader they learned of from this land. The Assyrians dealt with Lydia through Meshech, who were subsequently defeated by Gomer, and thus the Assyrians finally came to deal with Lydia directly. In the prophecy of Ezekiel 38/39 Gog is being used as a "historical type" of the "antichrist" who is prophesied to come during the end times, and Magog is being used as a "historical type" of "the land of the antichrist."
