End times prophecy: Armies of Gog & Magog attack Israel and are destroyed by God

Don’t be too lazy to read…
Ezekiel 38:
2 “Son of man, set your face against Gog,(A) of the land of Magog,(B) the chief prince of[a] Meshek and Tubal;(C) prophesy against him 3 and say: ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: I am against you, Gog, chief prince of[b] Meshek and Tubal.(D) 4 I will turn you around, put hooks(E) in your jaws and bring you out with your whole army—your horses, your horsemen fully armed, and a great horde with large and small shields, all of them brandishing their swords.(F) 5 Persia, Cush[c](G) and Put(H) will be with them, all with shields and helmets, 6 also Gomer(I) with all its troops, and Beth Togarmah(J) from the far north(K) with all its troops—the many nations with you.
…
18 This is what will happen in that day: When Gog attacks the land of Israel, my hot anger will be aroused, declares the Sovereign Lord. 19 In my zeal and fiery wrath I declare that at that time there shall be a great earthquake(AH) in the land of Israel.(AI) 20 The fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, the beasts of the field, every creature that moves along the ground, and all the people on the face of the earth will tremble(AJ) at my presence. The mountains will be overturned,(AK) the cliffs will crumble(AL) and every wall will fall to the ground.(AM) 21 I will summon a sword(AN) against Gog on all my mountains, declares the Sovereign Lord. Every man’s sword will be against his brother.(AO) 22 I will execute judgment(AP) on him with plague and bloodshed;(AQ) I will pour down torrents of rain, hailstones(AR) and burning sulfur(AS) on him and on his troops and on the many nations with him.(AT) 23 And so I will show my greatness and my holiness, and I will make myself known in the sight of many nations. Then they will know that I am the Lord.
In Ezekiel 38, the Lord revealed a ten–nation coalition that will assemble in the Last Days. The names and places that Ezekiel describes are foreign to us today, but a closer look at Scripture and history will help us translate these into modern times.
You will not find the name Russia anywhere in the Bible. But the nation we know as Russia figures prominently in prophecy. In Ezekiel’s list of ten names, the third name, Rosh, is most likely the territory we know as Russia. Not only do the two names bear phonetic similarity, but Ezekiel’s description of the location also points to Russia.
Biblical prophets assumed Israel to be the center of the world. Whenever we find compass points or geographical directions in prophecy, they are given in relation to the position of Israel.
Ezekiel and Daniel both describe Israel’s End Times aggressor as descending from the north. Daniel used the phrase “king of the North” to describe the commander of the alliance (Daniel 11:5-35). Ezekiel’s prophecy lends support to Daniel’s, indicating the invading armies will arrive in Israel “from the far north” (Ezekiel 38:6, 15). Russia is the only modern nation to match this description.
Here is a glimpse of what the future Russian alliance will look like:
The Commander of the Alliance:
Gog (Ezekiel 38:1–2, 7)
The name of a person rather than a nation.
Some scholars believe Gog is a title rather than a personal name.
Nations in the Alliance:
Magog
Modern-day “–stan” countries (Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, and perhaps Afghanistan)
Home of Gog
Noah's second son (Genesis 10:2; 1 Chronicles 1:5; Revelation 20:8)
Today, these nations are predominantly Muslim.
Rosh
Modern–day Russia
Ruled by Gog
Meshech and Tubal
Many experts identify these as territories in modern Turkey
The fifth and sixth sons of Noah (Genesis 10:2)
Persia
Changed its name to Iran in 1935
Fiercely opposes Israel today.
Ethiopia
Modern–day Sudan and Ethiopia
Founded by Cush, grandson of Noah (Genesis 10:6)
Sudan is one of Israel's greatest enemies
Libya
The same as modern–day Libya
Founded by Put, the grandson of Noah (Genesis 10:6)
Has current ties with Russia
Gomer
Modern Germany (theorized because the name sounds similar to "Gomer")
First son of Japheth, grandson of Noah (Genesis 10:2)
Togarmah
"From the far North" (Ezekiel 38:6); possibly modern–day Turkey
Third son of Gomer, great grandson of Noah (Genesis 10:3)
These are the nations that will form a coalition and march against Israel, setting the stage for this gigantic world war focused on the Holy Land. Though the northern armies of Russia and Turkey will lead the coalition, they will be joined by Iran from the east, Sudan and Libya from the south, and (possibly) Germany from the west in the form of a revived European coalition of nations.
To darken the picture for Israel, these likely represent the chief allies in the invasion. In Ezekiel 38:9, the prophet added that the nation will have “many peoples” on its side.
When Russia is ready to move against Israel, its allies will include the Arab states of the Near East and likely the nations in the former Soviet Bloc.

Wait, is Germany going to attack Israel too?
Posted on 5/12/21 at 10:27 pm to Eli Goldfinger
Pretty sure Germany got all of their Jew attacking out of their system in the 30s and 40s.

I'm trying to figure out Ethiopia's beef with Israel.

You have to admit it fits thematically
Posted on 5/12/21 at 10:30 pm to Mo Jeaux
All muslims have a beef with Israel.
Posted on 5/12/21 at 10:32 pm to Eli Goldfinger

Ethiopia is one of the oldest Christian nations on Earth. They do have a minority of Jews. Some Muslims, mainly in the current/former/contested Eritrea regions.

Things change quickly on the Geopolitical scale but as of now Russia seems to dislike Muslims more than Jews.
