Songs of gog magog

All music is Haram, that's why Afghanistan's vice ministry burned all musical instruments in the country.

No videos from an Afghani Pussycat Dolls tribute band?  They don't know what they're missing.

After years of Googeling I reached the fact that the ancient Mongol empire was actually an alliance between "the Golden Horde -located in Russia- and Genghis Khan's Mongols who occupied China.

There you have it; the identity of Gog Magog.

The prophecy of Gog/Magog was from Ezekiel, who had a shitty track record as a prophet.  He said the city of Tyre would be destroyed by Nebuchadnezzar, but he couldn't quite do it.  Left the job to Alexander.  Then he said Tyre would never be rebuilt, which amuses the Tyre chamber of commerce to this day.  Finally he said (Ezekiel 29) that Egypt would lie completely empty of inhabitants for forty years.  That never happened either.

I hate prophecies uttered by men, for example the large volumes known as the Islamic Hadith, just like the Christian prophecy books -uttered by men- they are never accurate, who said Ezekiel wrote them in the first place? the write is probably an drunk Roman.

Just like the Hadith books.

That's why I limit the prophecies I believe in to a limited source, with the condition of it being revealed directly from God.

Ezekiel might not even be the source of these texts you mentioned; that's why they're off target.

...Ezekiel might not even be the source of these texts you mentioned; that's why they're off target.

Yet you accept the Gog/Magog prophesy from the same sketchy sources.

He's a faith head. You weren't really expecting consistency, were you?

I insist on being served a much higher quality of godder around here.

Deuteronomy 18:10-11
"Let no one be found among you who sacrifices their son or daughter in the fire, who practices divination or sorcery, interprets omens, engages in witchcraft,
or casts spells, or who is a medium or spiritist or who consults the dead."

Prophesy is not "prediction". The role of a prophet was to be a "mouthpiece" from the god to the people of their own time.
They were normally written in the form of a "warning".
If the warning came true, it was a FAILED prophecy, as the people failed to heed the warning. If the people listened to the warning, the bad event did not come true, and the prophecy (warning) succeeded.

This thread is the typical ignorance of Biblical scholarship, by amateurs such as Winterhold, which students who have actual educations in these subjects are generally taught in week 1 of Bible 101.

Frankincense and myrrh may mask the stench, but does not improve the freshness of the food.

Old magic book in a single breath.  

-Interracial marriage and urbanism have angered god, and if we don't get right quick he's going to send armies to destroy us.

Evergreen, when you think about it.

Nehemiah 13:27 Shall we then hearken unto you to do all this great evil, to transgress against our God in marrying strange wives?

I admit I married a strange wife, but she did too.

[The Grand Nudger]

Nuts are compelled to translate and misunderstand their own magic books in an unfortunate way. Absent thorough and critical scholarship, the texts lose their relatability and understanding. What starts out as a primal scream gets sanitized and turned into a prophecy that succeeds...when it happens.....which, as Bucky so thoroughly explained, is exactly the opposite thing. Contemporary religionists have created a grotesque mockery of the things they profess to hold sacred, and, in the process, robbed themselves of the very thing that gives these stories their longevity and whatever meaning or profundity they hold.
