NEWS FLASH – Gog’s Alliance forming?

By: Randall E. Pickens, Sr.

As Gog’s alliance is forming we see that it represents some “strange bedfellows”

In the event you are not familiar with the phrase “strange bedfellows”, it was first introduced by Shakespeare in his drama, (The Tempest act #2, scene #2).  The phrase is associated now with any situation where unlikely allies will put aside differences for their common benefit.  The Arabs have a similar proverb saying,“the enemy of my enemy is my friend”.  The Gog alliance of Ezekiel 38/39 will require such relationships to be forged.  Each participant will have their own unique motivations for this alliance yet all will see the elimination of Israel as a key factor in achieving their goal. This is why it is so difficult to understand “end time” prophecies. It is difficult to identify who is who in these alliances when each represents differing motives. Just who will benefit the most may or may not represent the origin of Gog!

The person of “Gog” could emerge from any one of the alliance participants that is associated with Meshek, Tubal, or Magog of antiquity.

The recent announcement that Turkey, Russia, and Iran will meet in Tehran for trilateral discussions on shared interest in the Mideast (specifically) Syria, Lebanon, and Iraq.  All of these nations represent participants that are expected to potentially produce the person of Gog, the Prince of Meshek.

Turkey’s control of the Black Sea is hindering the Russian/Ukraine war as well as Russian movement of arms and confiscated grains.  Russia and Iran are engaged in arms deals that each need desperately to prop up their economies and to continue in their conflicts both in the Ukraine and the Mideast “proxy” wars of Lebanon, Syria and Iraq.

Israel is the cog in the wheel of progress for Gog’s alliance to tighten the noose around the neck of Europe, the Mideast and the world at large.  Israel now presents alternatives to Russian energy (oil and natural gas) as well as Russia’s control over 40% of the worlds grain reserves. The control of these resources will give the Gog Alliance the ability to control reluctant participants in this alliance and the world at large. In fact, the Gog Alliance will use these controls to introduce a “taste” of the plagues to come or the “Beginning of Sorrows” that will come after the demise of Gog and Magog and during the “rise of the Anti-Christ” and in the time periods known as the 7 seals of the Revelation tribulation. Gog’s defeat will lay the foundation for the rise of the peacemaker and the revealed person of the Anti-Christ.

Turkey controls the access to the Mediterranean Sea via the Black Sea.  Turkey wants to controls pipelines that carry water, oil, and gas to Europe and the Mideast. Israel is forging alliances with Cyprus, Greece, and Egypt that threaten the control that Russia and Turkey intend. These Israeli economic ventures will be the “hooks in thy jaws” that draws Gog’s alliance into war based on the desire to plunder Israels wealth.

I know this might be new to some who have been told that the Ezekiel war has already occurred but as I have pointed out numerous times, Ezekiel 39 clearly reveals the devastating demise of Gog and his alliance prior to the rise of the Anti-Christ. Ezekiel 39 clearly states that this will occur at least 7 years prior to the rise of another alliance. see articles: for a complete commentary discussion of Eze 38/39.
