Темы: не определены автоматически. our trust in God The words Gog and Magog share the same root as the Hebrew word for roof, “‫–גג‬gag.” Gog and Magog are the force that tries to convince us that we should rely on our own efforts “to put a roof over our head” rather than on God for protection and substance. Later, in verse 37, John claims that this piercing of Jesus by the soldier fulfills Zechariah’s prophesy “They [the Roman soldiers] will look on the one they [the Roman soldiers] have pierced.” The multiple inconsistencies demonstrate that the missionary mistranslation and interpretation is clearly another contrived attempt to fit Jesus into a prophecy. ‫בס"ד‬ Spiritual Insight For The Week with Rabbi Bentzion Kravitz The War of Armageddon Is Not The Apocalypse Sukkot and Simchat Torah The Jewish High Holidays, known as the Days of Awe, constitute a spiritual progression.
