  • This gentleman is mostly correct, but there are a couple of points I would like you to consider; It is certainly true that the island of Britain was known as Tarshish during the time of Solomon. There were several other Tarshises in the Bible; Spain (which he acknowledged), a city in Turkey where the apostle Paul was from (Tarsus), Tartus, Syria's port on the Mediterranean sea, and another one in Libya or Algeria (sorry I can't remember which, but for sure North Africa). So just because it uses a word that could be Britain, it does not necessarily follow that Britain, or the USA is the intended meaning in this passage. Look at what the protesters say; "art thou come to take a spoil?" Notice the word "come". This is the Hebrew word "bo" and it literally means "come". In other words the armies in Ezekiel 38 are coming through the territory of the protesting nations to get to their target! If this was England protesting the war, or the USA, and they were asking this question they would say "are you going to take a spoil?" The armies don't have to come through US or British territory, but they do have to come through Syria and the Arab states! I think the best explanation is that this war occurs shortly after the Psalm 83 war, where Israel was forced to use WMDs, and has given them up as a part of the peace treaty which ended this war. Now the Arabs which attacked during Psalm 83 have also been disarmed as a part of this treaty. Russia has refrained from attacking Israel, but now Israel is defenceless, because of this treaty, they feel safe to attack her. He also missed Gomer's other son, Riphath. Riphath was the father of the Celtic tribes, and his descendants are lumped in with the descendants of his brother Ashkenaz as Gomer and all his bands. (the Scots intermarried with descendants of Magog) So, look for western Europe to join in this war, not to protest it! It will be the Arabs who protest it, because they finally had peace with Israel!
