This work serves as part of our research into who Yajuj wa Majuj Are, it identifies them through scripture, the other means of doing so is by tracing their lineage. It is a continuation of our last work “Where Is The Wall Of Yajuj wa Majuj ” hence one would gain better context having read that first.
Allah instructs in the Quran “And if thou (Muhammad) art in doubt concerning that which We reveal unto thee, then question those who read the Scripture (that was) before thee. Verily the Truth from thy Lord hath come unto thee. So be not thou of the waverers. And be not thou of those who deny the revelations of Allah, for then wert thou of the losers.” (10:94-95)
Hence we have done this very thing regarding the subject of Yajuj Wa Majuj, you will find by the end that the Quran and the Bible complement and mimic each other on this subject, and establish much of what we have already said about who Yajuj wa Majuj are in our previous work, they are normal people living in parts of the world that the scholars already knew of and wrote about in their books, which we used to locate the wall in that work…unfortunately for current myths about them no magical underground hidden people exist on earth.
The Nations Of Gog – Yajuj
Looking on this map carefully you will find the location of every nation mentioned in the verses of the bible addressed by the same titles, through which Allah addresses Gog directly.
The following verses in the bible identify who these nations are, the names it gives are of the descendants of Nuh who migrated to these lands, hence Allah in the verse is calling out these nations by their lineage back to Nuh.

Allah said, “Son of man, set your face toward Gog, of the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him and say, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD: Behold, I am against you, O Gog, chief prince of Meshech and Tubal. And I will turn you about and put hooks into your jaws, and I will bring you out, and all your army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed in full armor, a great host, all of them with buckler and shield, wielding swords. Persia, Cush, and Put are with them, all of them with shield and helmet; Gomer and all his hordes; Beth-togarmah from the uttermost parts of the north with all his hordes—many peoples are with you.'” Ezekiel 38:2-6 (ESV)
These Are The Nations Of Gog and Their Allies When They Attack;
Gog (Rosh in some translations of the Bible, meaning Russia): This is the land north of the Black Sea. This is a reference to modern Russia and central Russia.
Magog: Magog was the ancient land of the Schythians (Majuj). This land is Central Asia (the “Stans”), but through history they extended it from the Caspean sea to the North of China, Mongolia and western China. It was from here that Genghis Kahn and the Golden Horde decimated China conquering it and decimated the Islamic Khalifah taking all Islamic lands up to Syria, had the Mamluk Khalifah in Syria not stopped them they would have continued on to Europe like the Huns before them, who they came from, Atilla the hun was their most famous leader who held Rome Hostage.
Meshek (also Meshech) : Located North east of Turkey above Georgia and the Caucus Mountains, it is the land in southern Russia between the black sea and caspian sea, this is the land of Yajuj Wa Majuj mentioned in the Quran, where Dhul Qarnain traveled to, and Built the Wall. The Hun empire was located Here which challenged the Roman Empire taking much of ancient Europe all the way to France, and almost taking the Rome itself with them.
Tubal: Located within modern Turkey near the black Sea which covers it’s Northern Border.
Persia: The ancient land of Persia is located in modern Iran. Iran was called Persia until 1935, less than 100 years ago. The verse in the Bible says Gog will attack with their allies, meaning with Iran today.
Ethiopia (also Cush) : In our time this is North Ethiopia, Eritrea, and eastern Sudan, basically all three countries.
Put (or Phut): This is Modern Libya.
Gomer: This is central Turkey south of the Black Sea and the Ukraine North Of The Black sea along with and Many Countries of Europe who are the descendants of Javan and Gomer, so today this is Belarus, Moldova, Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, Czech Republic, Austria, Germany, basically the descendants of Gomer among these nations and more than likely all of them if we consider most would have mixed lineage today, we should also take these names as general locations of the countries that will go to war because parts of countries dont declare war, it is the government on behalf of everyone regardless of their citizens beliefs or lineage.
Beth Togarmah: Located within modern Turkey on the Northern border of Syria, meaning from this southern border of turkey to the utmost part of the north (of this land) which reaches the black sea, so all of Turkey today.
These are the nations of Gog and their Allies that will attack Isa (as) when He returns, the Nations of Magog we will discuss in another work.
Their situation on the day of judgment is as the prophet (saws) mentioned; Ibn ‘Umar said, “The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: ‘Whoever imitates a people is one of them.’” (Abu Dawood) this is reiterated by Allah in the Quran when he said; “… And if any amongst you takes them as Awliyaa’ [friends, helpers, guides]), then surely, he is one of them…”(al-Maa’idah 5:51) which is the understanding of the companions, ‘Abd-Allah ibn ‘Amr said: “Whoever settles in the land of the mushrikeen and celebrates their Nawroz (new year) and Mahrajaan (festival) and imitates them until he dies will be gathered with them on the Day of Resurrection”, going to war with them is no less than this hence Allah will gather the nations of Yajuj wa Majuj along with their allies together as one group on the day of judgment.
It should be kept in mind that this is only for the generations of their Allies who went to war with them, Allah doesn’t punish any person for the crimes of their children or parents.
It Will Be The Arabian Peninsula (Islam) and Spain Who Stand Up To Them
The Bible Continues;
7 “Be ready and keep ready, you and all your hosts that are assembled about you, and be a guard for them. 8 After many days you will be mustered. In the latter years (at the end of time) you will go against the land (Jerusalem) that is restored from war (By this point in time the Mahdi would have emerged and fought Armageddon, which is the war between Europe and Islam, the Dajjal would then emerge in the aftermath but eventually would have been killed by Isa (as) who now lives in Jerusalem, the country restored from War) the land whose people were gathered from many peoples upon the mountains of Israel, which had been a continual waste (up to the advent of Islam when it stopped being a waste under the Roman Empire). Its people were brought out from the peoples and now dwell securely, all of them. 9 You will advance, coming on like a storm. You will be like a cloud covering the land, you and all your hordes, and many peoples with you. (meaning their Allies, this is North and Central Asia including China and who ever traditionally allies with them. The last two verses mimic descriptions given in the Quran)
10 “Thus says the Lord God: On that day, thoughts will come into your mind (this is because these are the countries who fell to the Dajjal and converted to His religion but never converted back when Isa (as) appeared, so upon the Dajjal’s death by Isa (as) they would want revenge), and you will devise an evil scheme 11 and say, ‘I will go up against the land of unwalled villages (this isn’t Israel today which is entirely walled, and probably why Allah made the distinction to begin with, since most cities today are unwalled and it is almost the only one on earth that has functional walls to protect it. The verse is talking about the time of Isa (as) when He goes to live there after Imam Mahdi passes away). I will fall upon the quiet people who dwell securely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having no bars or gates,’ 12 to seize spoil and carry off plunder, to turn your hand against the waste places that are now inhabited, and the people who were gathered from the nations, (this is the same wording as the Quran) who have acquired livestock and goods, who dwell at the center of the earth. 13 Sheba and Dedan and the merchants of Tarshish and all its leaders will say to you (standing up to them), ‘Have you come to seize spoil? Have you assembled your hosts to carry off plunder, to carry away silver and gold, to take away livestock and goods, to seize great spoil?’
Islam and Spain Stand Up To Gog and Magog (Yajuj wa Majuj)
Ezekiel 38 mentions several nations that will one day form an alliance to attack Jerusalem. Verse 13 then mentions two groups that will oppose this alliance, Sheba and Dedan these are the nations of the Arabian Peninsula if we look at the Map, basically Islam. These countries are Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Oman, The United Arab Emirates, Qatar and Bahrain which are representative of Islam in the Bible.
The term “The merchants of Tarshish” has been used in a variety of ways in the bible. It occurs 24 times, originally as a land of people descended from one of the early decadents of Nuh (as) named Tarshish in Genesis 10:4 (also 1 Chronicles 1:7) and elsewhere as the land the prophet Jonah (as) fled to (“fled to Tarshish”) to escape Allah’s call to preach to the people of Nineveh (modern Iraq).
Tarshish is southern Spain, and in this context “The merchants of Tarshish and all her villages” is all of Spain, it is a spot that would have been understood by the prophet Jonah (as) as the farthest point opposite Nineveh (Iraq) and it is where He (as) was swallowed by a Giant fish as punishment.
Why Spain
Why is it of all of Europe that it will be Spain who stands up with Islam against Gog and Magog, why not Italy or France Or Switzerland, Spain had the inquisition and the country is still shaped by that event, they are not friendly towards muslims or Islam today.
The reason is mentioned in Ahadith which we will summarise here, it is an event that will shape Spain in the future; When Europe begins it’s wars with Islam long before Armageddon, which will occur after Imam Mahdi appears, they will send an Army from Spain to conquer the North African muslim countries, Morocco, Libya, Tunis, Egypt, etc. The Army led by Spain will take these lands including Egypt, but when they reach Egypt the Leader of the Spanish Army will read a document which He has with Him from the beginning of the wars, but won’t read until this point in time, which mentions Him and all these events, it will urge Him to accept Islam. He along with the entire Army will accept Islam at this time and will end this war.
Hence now we have a situation where the entire Army of a christian country, Spain, has converted to Islam, this may not lead to Spain becoming muslim but it may certainly lead to them not falling into the deception of the Dajjaal (Allah’s curse be upon Him) later and accepting Isa (as) when He arrives to kill Him, hence they will be standing up for the true Messiah when they defy the Armies of Gog and Magog who want to Kill Him.
Similarities With The Quran The Tribes Of Yajuj wa Majuj Up To Our Time and The Jews
This is the description given in the Bible; “After many days you will be mustered. In the latter years (at the end of time) you will go against the land (Jerusalem) that is restored (rehabilitated) from war the land whose people were gathered from many peoples upon the mountains of Israel, which had been a continual waste (up to the advent of Islam when it stopped being a waste, up that point the temple of Solomon was used as a rubbish dump). Its people were brought out from the peoples and now dwell securely, all of them (this statement is important because today not all of them dwell in Israel). 9 You will advance, coming on like a storm. You will be like a cloud covering the land, you and all your hordes, and many peoples with you (Their Allies).
Here are the two verses in the Quran in which Allah says the exact same thing, with very similar wording;
“And We said unto the Children of Israel after him: Dwell in the land (earth); but when the promise of the Hereafter cometh to pass We shall bring you as a crowd gathered out of various nations.” (other translations have “bring you forth as [parts of] a motley (mixed) crowd!” meaning the Jews of the 12 original tribes will now come back from their exile having mixed origins from different nations of the world) (17:4)
Allah Says “But there is a ban on a town which We have destroyed (Jerusalem): that they (the people of the town) shall not return (to reclaim that town as their own); until, when Gog and Magog are let loose (upon the world), and they hasten from every mound (to Jerusalem).” (Qur’an, 21:95-96)
The first thing we should notice about the second verse is that the wall of Dhul Qarnain is not mentioned anywhere, rather Allah says they will be let loose, usually this was understood as from behind the wall because back then the earth was not explored but this can also mean let loose from something else that is holding them back since no wall built between any two mountains on earth can hold back a multitude of nations.
As the ahadith indicate it was a part of the Miracle Allah granted Dhul Qarnain that these tribes could not find a solution to the wall, they would break through it making a small hole each day but during the night Allah would restore it and they would continue the next day digging as if nothing happened the day before and they learnt nothing from the experience or remembered it. Clearly Allah placed something over their minds which is holding them back, and this is the very thing Allah is mentioning in this verse…while the wall between the two mountains came down in the first few hundred years of Islam when the Khalifah first went up against these people, this part of Allah’s miracle is still present upon their minds to this day.
After the Colonial powers took China, Asia, India, and many of these lands the world later marvelled at their numbers and asked why they didn’t simply swarm at them with these superior numbers taking control of Europe and the british isles, but we will find in every prophecy about the lands of Yajuj wa Majuj and their allies that Allah says He was the one who allowed them to be conquered, because He was holding them back.
If we recall the hadith in which the prophet (saws) had a dream about a hole being created in the wall He (saws) clearly says the fitnah of yajuj wa majuj is very near and the arabs will face it soon, the Arabs did face it soon after his (saws) death when they reached the Caucus Mountains, after taking Persia. The Fitah mentioned in the Quran is one which Isa (a) will face, hence this is an earlier one the Arabs would struggle with;
Transmitted by Imam Al- Bukhari and Imam Muslim on the authority of the Mother of the Believers, Zainab Bint Jahsh (May Allah be pleased with her) that the Prophet (saws) once (woke and) came to her in a state of fear and said: “None has the right to be worshipped but Allah. Woe unto the Arabs from a danger that has come near. An opening has been made in the wall of Gog and Magog like this,” making a circle with his thumb and index finger. Zainab Bint Jahsh said: “O Allah’s Messenger! Shall we be destroyed even though there are pious persons among us?” He said: “Yes, when the evil people increase.”
This hadith tells us that the hole was created in the prophet’s lifetime, if we see the History of the Yajuj wa Majuj tribes in this region we will find that exactly in the prophet’s life time a new Majuj Empire had risen in the region of the wall, the Khazar empire this is the “danger that has come near” which the muslims would face. When they came to power they renewed efforts to take down the wall and where the first to punch a hole through to the other side, the previous empire in this region where the powerful Huns who tried to conquer Rome but they couldn’t succeed in this task more than likely because of technological limitations back then.
If we see Maps of their territories it is very surprising that this Empire which crossed the Alps to March on Rome could not march through the Caucus mountains to take the Iberian (Georgian) empire there, they never extended their territory at their own door step but they took Most of Europe.
Here is a Map Of their land from 400 AD, it stops at the Caucus Mountains, during this time the small Iberian empire from which georgians are descended from occupied the region on the other side of the wall;
And Here is a map of the Khazar Empire After the prophets (saws) life time when they where fighting the Islamic Khaifah, during the back and forth conflict in which land was taken and lost, the Khazar achieved what the Huns couldn’t and took the lands of Georgia destroying the wall. Eventually the Khalifa forced them into an alliance with their northern neighbours after which they famously concluded they needed to adopt one of the three Abrahamic religions to survive, subsequently they chose Judaism, later upon the complete collapse of their empire many of these convert Jews migrated to Europe and today large portions of the Jewish population in Europe are descended from them.
It should be kept in mind that, if we still hold to the mythology that has arisen around Yajuj wa Mauj, if they are people capable of threatening the entire world they would need to develop advanced technology to overcome modern empires, hence certainly an ancient wall built from Iron, Brass and possibly Stone should be no issue by our time, Allah only repaired the damage they did during that day by fixing it while they slept and weren’t watching. Allah made no assertions that if they could bring it down in one day, as their technology advanced and they became capable of damaging a Solid Iron wall, He would stop them while they watched. This miracle was first given in the prophets (saws) lifetime because of Him, which was the first time they where able to put a hole in it, the huns before them could not, it was something Allah granted Him (saws) so Muslims wouldn’t have to face them along with Persia and Rome in His lifetime or in the time of Rashideen Kalifah, but the prophet (saws) said the Arabs would soon face them and they did when evil increased and the first Monarchy Khalifah’s formed.
The hadith also tells us that the arabs will be destroyed by them, referring to either loss of Arab sovereignty or outright annihilation, when evil people increase in the Ummah and it occurred, we are all today suffering from the result of this today. Hence this hadith cant be talking about our future because right now evil people rule the entire earth, this isnt the time when evil would first spread as the hadith states.
Because we know who these Yajuj wa Majuj tribes are we can see what occurred in history because of them that affected the Arabs and ultimately the Ummah. The two most devastating events in Islamic History are the invasion of the Majuj Mongol Horde into Islamic lands destroying the Khalifah in Iraq and taking all lands up to Syria, this stopped Islam’s Golden Age whose center was Baghdad at the time, along with technological and social advancement by later muslim generations. The other event was the creation of the Ottoman Empire by the Majuj turks who where extremely materialistic which shaped Islam’s spiritual and religious future as we existed under them.
Because they where also expansionists they warred with other khalifah’s around them ending the Abasid Khaifah descendant from the prophets uncle Abbas, they where the last Arab Khalifah to exist, and the Mamluk Kalifah which was largely comprised of Georgian muslims integrated into that society, ironically it was the ancestors of the Georgians who Dhul Qarnain Helped by building the wall, so the Ottomans would continue what their Majuj Ancestors began.
While the Ottoman empire was not evil and achieved many things, materialism itself destroys spirituality hence they destroyed what was left of Islam’s heart and essence by their end. It was materialism that drove them to hoard power (Islamic Rule) for themselves, they literally wanted to be the only Islamic Khalifah left on earth. Hence this along with their materialism where the two things the prophet (swas) clearly criticised them over in Ahadith; Abu Thalaba al Khashny the companion of Rasul Allah (saws) said: I heard in the era of Mu’awiyah when he was trying to open Constantine (that the prophet had said), “I hope my community will not fail to maintain their position in the sight of their Lord if He delays them half a day, when you see Sham is a bounty for a man and his oligarchy family members then at this time Constantine will be opened.” (Majmu’ al Zawa’id, 6/222, Abu Dawud similarly reported a version in his Sunan) It was the Ottoman Sultan Mehmed II who opened Constantinople in 1452, Oligarchy means a small group of people or one family having control of a country for a long time and in this case almost the entire Muslim Ummah, the Ottomans had one of the world’s longest lasting single family dynasties.
They achieved the kind of empire that every majuj empire before them had wanted, but under Islam, this led to a unique situation where after their destruction during WW1 no other Islamic Khalifah existed to take their place or represent muslims, and so this world was given to the most evil of people among the Kufar. This is the fitnah of Yajuj wa Majuj that befell the Arab and Islamic world after the wall came down and we are all suffering because of it.
Looking at the two verses in the Quran, first and foremost they are about future events and both are a promise to the Jewish tribes that existed thousands of years ago, because of this we know it can’t be talking about people who are not descendant from Jews that converted much later, they could be, Allah could be all inclusive here but the fact is the promise itself can’t be fulfilled until all Jews from the 12 original tribes migrate from the countries of the world they now live in back to Jerusalem, the promise can’t be fulfilled by converts and their descendants.
Hence today it can’t be claimed that this has already occurred simply because Israel is once again a Jewish state. Most orthodox Jews, traditional Jews descendant from the tribes tend to stay away from Israel which is a zionist secular state and not an orthodox one, meaning Allah won’t accept it until it becomes orthodox, and because one of the major tribes which the promise was made to, would never be accepted back by the present government.
These are the muslim Pashtuns of Afghanistan who are descendant from the original 12 tribes and exiled to Afghanistan by the king Nebuchadnezzar, they accepted Islam soon after the time of the prophet (saws) at the hands of Khalid Ibn Walid the famous Islamic General who the prophet (saws) called the sword of Allah, the promise of Allah also refers to them hence it is clearly about a future time under Isa (as).
“In his Travels into Bokhara, which he published in 1835, Sir Alexander Burnes wrote: “The Afghans call themselves Bani Israel, or the children of Israel, but consider the term Yahoodi, or Jew, to be one of reproach. They say that Nebuchadnezzar, after the overthrow of Israel, transplanted them into the towns of Ghore near Bamean and that they were called after their Chief Afghan, they say that they lived as Israelites till Khalid (Ibn Walid) summoned them in the first century of the Muhammadans. Having precisely stated the traditions and history of the Afghans I see no good reason for discrediting them… the Afghans look like Jews and the younger brother marries the widow of the elder. The Afghans entertain strong prejudices against the Jewish nation, which would at least show that they have no desire to claim – without just cause – a descent from them. (Sir Alexander Burnes, Travels into Bokhara, Vol. 2:139-141.)”
What is significant about these Jews is that the prophet (saws) in many ahadith, far to many to quote here said they are Imam Mahdi’s Army, Islam’s strength at the end of time, they will conquer Arabia when it is completely lost because of corruption and re-establish Islamic rule for Imam Mahdi (ra) before He emerges, they will then conquer Israel and make it their capital.
The Messenger of Allah (upon him be peace and blessings) said: “Before your treasure (the Kaabah), three (Saudi Princes) will kill each other (trying to take control of Saudi Arabia, in a civil war), all of them are the sons of a different Khaliph (ruler) but none will be the recipient (of power). Then the black Banners will appear from the East (Afghanistan) and they will Kill you (Arabs) in a way that has never been done by a nation.” (This will take place 6 years before Imam Mahdi Appears according to ahadith) Thawban said: ‘Then he said something that I do not remember by heart’ then continued to say that the prophet (praise and peace be upon him) said: “ If you see him (Imam Mahdi) give him your allegiance, even if you have to crawl over ice, because surely he is the Khalif of Allah, the Mahdi.
If you see the black flags coming from Khurasan (Afghanistan), join that army, even if you have to crawl over ice, for this is the army of the Khaliph, the Mahdi and no one can stop that army until it reaches Jerusalem (Israel).” (It’s isnad is Sahih according to Al-Hakim who narrates it in Mustadrak al Hakim).
Al Zuhari said ” The black flags will come from the East, led by mighty men, with long hair and beards, their last names are taken from the names of their home towns and their first names are from a Kunya (nick name, usually starts with ‘Abu’, which means ‘father of”).” (Nuaim bin Hammad’s Kitab Al-Fitan)
Allah’s Apostle (may peace be upon him) said: You have heard about a city the one side of which is in the land and the other is in the sea (Constantinople in Turkey). They said: Allah’s Messenger, yes. Thereupon he said: The Last Hour would not come unless 70,000 persons from Bani Isra’il (Jews) would attack it (referring to the army of the Mahdi who will conquer it with Him). (Sahih Muslim: Book 41, Hadith 6979)
When the Arabian peninsula becomes Chaotic the Army from the east, Afghanistan will march on it in order to stabilise it, and when Imam Mahdi (ra) emerges about 6 years later He (ra) will live with His army and resemble them, this is why in many Ahadith the Prophet (saws) said;
“He (Imam Mahdi) would be wearing two Qutwani (Jewish) Cloaks. He will appear exactly as a person from Bani Israeel…(Ref: Kanz-ul-Aamal, Page 268, Hadith No 3868).
“The blessed Mahdi’s stature and posture resemble those of the People of Israel.” (Reference:Al-Qawl Al-Mukhtasar Fi alamat al-Mahdi al-Muntadhar, pp. 36-29.)
“He will resemble one of the Israelites”. (Reference: Al-Uqayli, An-Najmu’s-saqib fi Bayan Anna’l Mahdi min Awladi Ali b. Abu Talib Ale’t-Tamam ve’l Qamal).
Allah has decreed it in the Bible and the Quran that the Jews can’t settle permanently in Jerusalem until all the original tribes of Jews return to Israel, this includes the Pashtun of Afghanistan, these ahadith are a description of their return.
It is also very significant that their return is prophesied in the Bible, in one of Christianity’s major prophecies about the end of time;
The prophet (saws) in many ahadith said the world will be split into two camps at the end of time, the camp of religion in which there are no hypocrites (Kufar who pretend they are muslim, christian, jew etc to fool people and manipulate them for nefarious reasons through their own institutions) and the camp of hypocrites in which their is no religion (they are all Kufar). When Allah begins the punishment of the Camp of Hypocrites that has taken over the world He will send 7 Angels to punish them and their societies on earth in various ways.
John (as) in the book of revelations says (the verses are simile’s), “16 Then I heard a loud voice from the temple saying to the seven angels, “Go, pour out the seven bowls of God’s wrath on the earth.”(these verses are explained in detail in our book on Syria and Signs Of The Hour @ our website).
2 “The first angel went and poured out his bowl on the land, and ugly, festering sores broke out on the people (bani Adam, meaning all mankind) who had the mark of the beast and worshiped its image.”
This means their foulness was made apparent and open to people because they where hiding their real nature from the world, hence the camp of religion began to see the camp of hypocrites for who they truly are, occultists. It isnt coincidence that in folk lore witches loose their natural appearance and develope ugly sores and shriveled skin, these are meant to be the manifestations of their evil, this verse is a deliberate punishment from Allah that brings the camp of hypocrites out into the open so the camp of religion, which has good natured people that are more innocent, can see them for what they are, today they don’t care as much about hiding their occult nature, their occult reality is mentioned in an earlier verse in the bible very clearly.
“who had the mark of the beast and worshiped its image”, to be brief, the mark is a reference to the system that has taken over the world today, it uses barcode and tracking systems not just to keep track of everything but to control the world’s economies and strangle the countries that adopt this system, this verse is just the old way of describing capitalism 2000 years ago, the beast is the empire which invented the system, it is a very old and common term used in the bible in many places for empires that rule over many nations, it’s image means it’s culture ‘becoming the image or poster child of something’, hence the verse is saying these are “the people who adopted capitalism and worshiped the capitalist way of life”, in other words through this Angel the love affair with capitalism around the world is being ended by Allah.
3 “The Second angel poured out his bowl on the sea, and it turned into blood like that of a dead person, and every living thing in the sea died. (We have to remember these are visions or dreams representing events in life, not literal accounts)”.
The Jewish bible translated from Hebrew, which is closer to the original language, reads ‘the ocean became like a diseased person and every living thing died’, the significance of this is that a disease takes time to finish, while death is immediate, so more accurately the picture should be ‘the sea became sick and over time every living thing in it died’, it is a reference to the oceans becoming polluted, something man can only achieve today.
4 “The third angel poured out his bowl on the rivers and springs of water, and they became blood. (After the oceans are the rivers, which is a natural progression of pollution that we also see in the world today, hence the rivers similarly stopped producing food their are no fish in the river’s)”…
8 “The fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun, and the sun was allowed to scorch people with fire. (Solar activity became more intense and drought became more common, sea temperatures are rising killing entire aquatic species and the world is heating up, this is where we are today in the list of Allah’s punishments, soon Allah will send the fifth Angel)”…
10 “The fifth angel poured out his bowl on the throne of the beast (America), and its kingdom was plunged into darkness. People gnawed their tongues in agony 11 and cursed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, but they refused to repent of what they had done…(the Jewish bible which is a more literal translation reads, ‘the kingdom of the Beast became
Darkened, and in agony they were gnawing their tongues’, regretting their words which they used to scare the world into submission, “You Are Either With Us Or Against Us”)”.
Plunged into Darkness or became Darkened in a modern context means the system itself will be plunged into Darkness, the Bible clearly (and islam indirectly) state that there will be a power struggle between Europe and America in the near future which America will loose, so the verse means economically America will collapse, we have seen the beginning of this process in the last economic crisis, as most analyst’s around the world agree America won’t survive another economic collapse because they are to much in debt.
The Prophet (saws) in many Ahadith showed that Islam at the end will fight Armageddon against Europe (which the bible also states clearly) and America by this time can’t be seen anywhere in either the Bible or Ahadith.
12 “The sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up to prepare the way for the kings from the East.”
The Prophet Mohammad (saws) said: “The time is approaching when the Euphrates (River) will recede (become dry) revealing a treasure of gold. Whoever is present there should not take away anything from it.”(this will lead to the instability of the Arabian peninsula, eventually causing the Army of the Mahdi to march upon it) (Sahih Bukhari and Sahih Muslim)
The euphrates river will dry up then we will see the black flags marching on Arabia and Jerusalem. The sixth Angel is the one most significant to Islam because He is the one who dries up the river Euphrates in Iraq which borders Afghanistan, to prepare the way for the Kings (rulers of the) East (the black flags, the Mahdi’s Army) to march across Arabia and conquer Jerusalem (Israel).
They will do this just before the appearance of the Mahdi (ra) by about 6 years, but they can’t call Jerusalem properly their’s because they will be challenged over it very soon after they take it, and later in about a decade and a half when Yajuj wa Majuj will force them out of it because they want to Kill Isa (as). The Jews of the 12 tribes will be able to call it their land when they live there with Isa (as), who will make it His (as) home, marry and have children.
The bible clearly says the land will be rehabilitated from war then all the Jews from around the world will return to it, again this can’t occur until all wars and enemies have come and gone including the Dajjaal (Allah’s curse be upon him).
If we read the description of the Bible having understood all this we will perceive the greater context of these events;
8 After many days you will be mustered. In the latter years (at the end of time) you (the nations of Gog) will go against the land (Jerusalem) that is restored from war, the land whose people were gathered from many peoples (today the Pashtun are yet to settle here) upon the mountains of Israel, which had been a continual waste (up to the advent of Islam). Its people were brought out from the peoples and now dwell securely, ALL of them…
10 “Thus says the Lord God: On that day, thoughts will come into your mind, and you will devise an evil scheme 11 and say, ‘I will go up against the land of unwalled villages (this isn’t Israel today which is entirely walled, the rehabilitation of the people of that land will occur when the walls come down). I will fall upon the quiet people who dwell securely (and not threatened by the nations of the world, like they are today), all of them dwelling without walls, and having no bars or gates,’ 12 to seize spoil and carry off plunder, to turn your hand against the waste places that are now inhabited, and the people who were gathered from the nations, who have acquired livestock and goods (are now openly trading with other nations), who dwell at the center of the earth.”
This verse may seem like it is focusing on materialism as the defining factor of peace and religion but in fact Allah is making a contrast between the Israel of the future under Isa (as) and the Israel of today which is entirely walled of, dysfunctional, constantly living under threat, war and embargoes because of their atrocities.
What we have seen from both the Quran and Bible, which complement each other in these verses, is that Yajuj wa Majuj are normal nations of the same world we live in today, they experience the same test of Allah as the rest of us but in the future they will decide to Attack Isa (as) when He returns, which more than likely means that the nations of Gog and Magog are the lands that accepted the Dajjal (Allah’s curse be upon him) when he emerged but never accepted Isa (as) when He returned and killed him, they never turned back after their mistake hence they then decided to take revenge for the death of their false Messiah (leader).
