Evolution theory has created many false premises to understand nature, populations, and our origin. With every new discovery, they use their already-made false framework and try to make the new discoveries work with it. This creates a form of pseudo-science. It is taking evidence and giving the wrong conclusions and assumptions the evidence simply does not say. One such example is the discovery of genealogy in our DNA. It quickly became evident that all humans now alive all over the earth are connected by a small group of common ancestors. A fact that can not be disputed. Then to make it fit into evolutionary theories, they create an estimate on genetic mutations that are not science but made to fit an already existing theory of human origin.

The evolutionists explain evidence pointing to all men coming from a small group of ancestors coming out of Africa and that the many genealogical mutations took many thousands of years each. Scientists today make it a trend to reject any historical records of human origin, with the excuse the ancient people were “religious”. When myths confirm the Biblical records, they call it a bluff. In this way, they can freely re-create human history contrary to what people of the past say about their origins. Today we claim we know them better than they knew themselves. Finding Noah and his sons in the genealogy is not impossible, and the Bible and other early manuscripts explain somewhat how they spread. We are going to respect the history in the Bible and the ancient legends, to discover the truth about Magog.
Some Bible researchers mix up the tribes in an eager attempt to combat the evolution population theory. This does not have to be a big issue for anyone unless we wish to understand better why God is upset with the tribes of Japhet.

Why is God targeting the sons of Japhet in the Gog and Magog war?

It is not just evolutionists versus creationists that confuses this topic. It is also a spiritual battle between true prophets and false prophets. Among Christians are Satan’s workers, deceivers, and those deceived, trying to point to the wrong group and wrong time for the Gog and Magog war. (2.Cor.11:13) They too, will as evolutionists, use the DNA-genealogy tree to try and make it fit with their beliefs. That is why when studying this matter we don’t just need knowledge of mitochondrial and paternal DNA, we also need historical records and the Bible. The three together will reveal the truth.

Once the false prophecies regarding modern Israel were created, a need to change who Gog and Magog were needed. Not just for Christians, but also for Zionist Jews. It is therefore important to address this deception.

God names the forefathers of the groups in the Gog and Magog battle, so we must look closer into genealogy to expose false prophecy.
The battle of Gog and Magog is God judging the nations that have come up against His people and His land. There are three things we need to do to get this right:

1. Understand the time of this battle
2. Understand who Gog and Magog are
3. Understand who and what they are attacking.

Investigating the beginnings of Gog and Magog

God points to the descendants of Japhet as the main culprits in this conflict:
“Son of man, set thy face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him, 
And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal” (Eze 38:2-4)

Firstly we need to note that Gog is the land of Magog, an interpretation also confirmed by the Book of Jubilee: “to the whole region of Gog” (Jubilees 8). This reveals to us several important things. That Magog is still in the land of Gog, and if we find one we also find the other. Gog is the leader in the Magog war, meaning the land and leaders of the land. It also reveals to us that Magog’s descendants are together.

Genesis 10 tells us who these three men are, and it is the very sons of Japhet, the eldest son of Noah:
“The sons of Japheth; Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras” (Gen 10:2 -3).

The book of Ezekiel continues prophesying about the Gog and Magog battle:
“And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws, and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armour, even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords: 
Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all of them with shield and helmet: 
Gomer, and all his bands; the house of Togarmah of the north quarters, and all his bands: and many people with thee” (Eze 38:4-6)

Here we see that Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya will be judged at the same time.  And the Bible will explain to us why as we will investigate how it is all connected. It is important to take note that they are not wearing the same armor or military garments. We will also see in those verses, God puts the spotlight on Japhet’s son Gomer and his son Togarmah.

The Bible reveals the ancestry of Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya:
Let’s start with the obvious nations.
Ethiopia/Kush: The Bible does not really say Ethiopia, it is just the English translation of the word Kush, not to be confused with the modern borders of the country Ethiopia. They first settled in what we today know as Sudan and then spread southward and southwest. The original transcripts of the Old Testament only ever use the name “Kush”. Kush is the son of Ham, Noah’s third son. He was also the father of Nimrod. Although Nimrod had his empire in northern Mesopotamia, after the people scattered, his father’s tribe moved south.
The Bible tells us that Kush lived in what we today call Africa, south of Egypt.
Libya is also the descendants of Ham and at first, lived in the continent of North Africa. The Libyans are thought to be the descendants of Hams’s son Phut or Mizraim according to the Jewish historian Josephus:

“Phut also was the founder of Libya, and called the inhabitants Phutites (Phoutes), from himself: there is also a river in the country of Moors which bears that name; whence it is that we may see the greatest part of the Grecian historiographers mention that river and the adjoining country by the appellation of Phut (Phoute): but the name it has now has been by change given it from one of the sons of Mezraim [Mizraim], who was called Lybyos.” —Josephus, Antiquities of the Jews, book 1:6/2

Bear in mind North Africa, including Egypt and Libya, has been conquered several times and a large part of the population is now Arab, and many indigenous converted to Islam or moved southward. Genetically we see both Arabs and the original descendants of Phut/Mizraim.

Mizraim is known to be Egypt, it is still called Misr in Arabic. The Biblical transcript calls it Mitsrajim, and it is translators who have translated it to “Egypt” after the Greeks named it Aegyptos. That is not what the Bible originally calls it, just how translators have translated it. The Bible calls it Mitsrayim revealing this was Ham’s son’s territory.
So when the translation writes: “Abraham went to Egypt”, it says Abraham went to Mitsrayim. The Bible therefore places most of Ham’s sons in Africa. Lastly, in Persia, the Bible tells us its capital is Susa which was named after one of Shem’s sons Elam. The Bible also tells us that Shem’s great-grandchildren by another son went eastward as well: “And their dwelling was from Mesha, as thou goest unto Sephar a mount of the east”. (Gen.10:30)

As we will investigate further the Bible reveals the descendants of Japhet went west and north. Thus the Bible reveals to us that Noah’s sons got each their wind direction, and Japhet’s children, got two wind directions. Japhet is the king of the West and North, Shem is the king of the East and Ham is the king of the South. Some things did change somewhat.

Media, what is now north in Iran, is the descendants of Japhet’s son Medai, which we will find out later in this article why he stayed with the tribes of Shem and why this is relevant to Gog and Magog.

Israel, six-day war.

Many believe that the wars in modern Israel directed at Israeli Jews are related somehow to the Gog and Magog war, or will result in it. However, there has been no “Magog”, according to evangelical views, present in the conflicts so far.

In the six-day war, it was Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria who attacked modern Israel. Genealogy confirms that these nations are closely related to Jews, and are most likely Arabs and some even ancient converted Israelis and Samaritans. The main powers in the wars in the Middle East are mostly from the tribe of Shem mixed with the tribe of Ham. It’s Modern Israeli Jews fighting the ancient tribes of Israel converted to Islam, as well as the other descendants of Abraham. It is mostly a Semitic conflict.

• In Egypt, the descendants of Ham are also mixed with Semites after early Arabic invasions. Still, the country has its original Egyptian descendants too.
• In Jordan, descendants of Amman and Semites (for instance Israel and Ishmael)
• In Lebanon, we find the descendants of the ancient Canaanites and Semites (ancient Israel, and some from Shem’s other son).
• In Syria, the descendants of the Assyrians (Semite) and other Semites.
  
  As we can see, these are not the main provocateurs Gods is describing in the Gog and Magog war.

Palestinians
What about the Palestinians? Many modern Israelis and Jews have long painted them as Arab invaders who do not belong in the area or have any right to it compared to themselves. That they first “stole” Palestine and now Jews are taking it back.
Genealogy researchers have long been taking tests of hundreds of ancient burials around the world, and they have a good idea of who is closely related to which ancient group. One such genealogy site shows us that modern Palestinians are most closely related to the following ancient tribes: Canaanite/Semite and Hurrian, Amorite, ancient Egyptian, and Carian. What they call Canaanite/Semite is ancient Israel. The reason ancient Israel is now called Canaanite/semite is because evolutionists reject the exodus and claim Israel were Canaanites who lived there all the time, “Semite” relates to the Israeli family tree and the Semitic people. And so Palestinians are made up of a mixed group of several of the populations that have lived in the land throughout time, the descendants of Ham, of ancient Israel, and Arabs. This means the Palestinians have always lived in the surrounding area and in the Middle East, while most Ashkenazi Jewish Israelis today (settlers taking land from Palestinians from the occupied territories) are interbred with European and other Middle Eastern genes. Those who call themselves Palestinians today, therefore, have always lived in the Middle East. And they are mostly not descendants of Japhet or Magog, but of Shem, Abraham, and Ham.

Photo: Who are the Palestinians? We see during the first diaspora, God left the poor people among the Israelis behind in the land, some farmers as well, while the rest were scattered. God did not scatter everyone the first time.(Jer.40:6) God left a remnant behind in the land the second time too. Palestinians appear to be a mixed group, but also of ancient Israel, Judah, and a remnant of Samaritans that were left behind. Likely they were poor farmers as they were the first time. Neither Rome nor Babylon took the trouble of dispersing groups that showed no opposition and mostly did what they were told. This is seen when they choose to let Jeremiah stay in Jerusalem in peace with the others. During the Islamic invasions of the land between the 6th to 9th century the remnant groups after the Roman conquest converted to Islam, while still claiming to be descendants of ancient Israel. They appear to tell the truth.

In the last 3000-2000 years Palestinians have mixed with other groups in the Levant, while Jews have mixed with other religious Jews and others where they lived creating a genetic gap between the two groups.
God’s promise to Abraham appears to have been fulfilled to those left behind: “In the same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates” (Gen 15:18) It shows a God in control. 

Bible Prophesied God giving the land to a remnant of Israel

In Zephania God tells us why Israel’s genetics is found among Palestinians and Jordanians and that it is His design.
He explains: “Woe unto the inhabitants of the sea coast, the nation of the Cherethites! the word of the LORD is against you; O Canaan, the land of the Philistines, I will even destroy thee, that there shall be no inhabitant” (Zep 2:5). Then He says who will live there instead: “And the sea coast shall be dwellings and cottages for shepherds, and folds for flocks. And the coast shall be for the remnant of the house of Judah; they shall feed thereupon” (Zep 2:6-7) The world and even Jews have been deceived to think this is about the future, but genetics show that this is already fulfilled a long time ago and that what is today called Palestinians are remnant God placed there instead of the Philistines.
A similar judgment happened in the country we now know as Jordan: “I have heard the reproach of Moab, and the revilings of the children of Ammon, whereby they have reproached my people and magnified themselves against their border. 
Therefore as I live, saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, Surely Moab shall be as Sodom, and the children of Ammon as Gomorrah, even the breeding of nettles, and saltpits, and a perpetual desolation: the residue of my people shall spoil them, and the remnant of my people shall possess them” (Zep 2:8-9). 

Again, this is not about the state of Israel taking Jordan today, this has already happened in the past and genetics show the word of God was fulfilled. The remnant of Israel does possess in large part these lands. The world has been utterly deceived.

ANCIENT ISRAEL IN IRAQ?
Jordanians, who are related to Palestinians, are also closely related to Samaritans from the Israeli tribes of Manasse, Ephraim, and Levi.
Between Jordan and the River Euphrates lies parts of Iraq. Do the descendants of Abraham cover the area to the river even in Iraq? Genetics show they are:

The war in the Middle East today is therefore not what it seems at first glance. It is mostly a religious war with remnant of ancient Israel on both sides. One has the nations in the West as their support, and the others have Islamic nasions as their support. We will explain this war in a later part of Gog and Magog, to make it all make sense from scripture.

Where are Japhet’s sons today?

The Bible gives us clues to what direction some tribes of Noah went after Babel, but from there they continued to “spread out” in those territories in mostly that same wind direction as the populations grew. That is, except in Asia, where they also spread north-east. Sometimes the sons of Noah’s descendants mixed as is evident when we look at the DNA today. That is why we need to let the Bible fill in the gaps. Noah’s sons did not remain only in the first place they went. This was God’s design. It says:
“So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city. Therefore, is the name of it called Babel; because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth” (Gen.11:8-9)

Did someone take Magog’s land and can there be a new Magog?
We also see several places in the Bible where God is engaging in protecting tribes’ rights to the areas God has designed for them. The book of Jubilee claims the descendants of Noah made an oat to travel only to the places assigned to them: “in the presence of the kodesh judge, and in the presence of Noah our father” (Jubilee 10). It further explains that Canaan violated this and settled in the land of Shem. It seems like there was a rift between Noah and Ham’s son Canaan, where Canaan is in part blamed and cursed for his father Ham’s disrespectful behavior (Gen.9:25). The conflict between the two is further seen when Canaan refuses to settle in the area Noah had appointed to him. Shem’s descendants being too few, they could not immediately inhabit it themselves and Canaan took advantage of this. The book claims both his father Ham and brother Kush warned Canaan against it saying: “And Ham, his father, and Cush and Mizraim his brothers said to him: ‘You have settled in a land which is not yours, and which did not fall to us by lot: do not do so; for if you do, do so, you and your sons will fall in the land and (be) accursed through sedition; for by sedition you have settled, and by sedition will your children fall, and you shall be rooted out forever.”
Both the Bible and the book of Jubilee therefore tell us God took part in where they were sent. The “Lord” was the one who scattered them. Also other places God scattered, we see Him having intentions in how and where they are scattered. The Bible tells us God is the King of all borders. (Job 38:10) Job said: “He increaseth the nations, and destroyeth them: he enlargeth the nations, and straiteneth them again” (Job 12:23).  The Bible also shows us how God preserves other people’s land, and not just Israel. (Deu.2:5.9.19, Gen.15:18) Japhet and Magog get their judgment at the Gog and Magog war at the very end of the 7000 years show that their areas still belong to them until the very last. They did not die out, they remained in control in their areas. However, as we will see, they did have internal conflicts and wars. And they do another grievous sin regarding the holy land, a land not appointed to them.

God has control over who went where, we need to keep that in mind as we continue. This will also help us identify Magog and expose his sin against Jerusalem and God’s people.
