Gogumagog
kahaneloyalist:
Really good video in Hebrew with English subtitles on the war of Gogumagog
Maccabi:
yeah I like that it is very well done. do you think this is an accurate picture of what will happen?
Sarah:
I never knew Jews believed in this concept. There is a similar story in islam as well, that near the time of the ending of the world. Two tribes, Ya'juj and Ma'juj- Gog and Magog, will appear from somewhere in china(some scholars believe it is related with the great wall of china and that they will break some barrier). These tribes will cause havoc on earth and there will be a war, yes. There is also a story of the dajaal which will come upon earth too. Does Judaism or the torah mention this story which is basically about an evil man on earth in the near future?
Please, if you don't mind, can you explain the torah version of the ending of the world and its signs.........

Sarah exclaims: "...I never knew Jews believed in this concept..."
The concept is 100% Jewish, Sarah.
It is OUR concept; originating with us.
All others have it on loan (and it would appear that some of their borrowings are no longer in the original condition which they were when first borrowed).
The very concept of "End Times" & Moshiach are totally Jewish.
In The New Testament, when Jesus is questioned by his disciples as to the events Judaism foretells pertaining to the end times, Jesus' answer is a verbatim reiteration of the Torah prophecies...adding nothing new.
Christianity today, includes along with original Jewish concepts,the recorded visions of the Apostle John known as Revelations.
As for Islam, Mohammed borrowed the prophecies and history of the Jews, and so terribly misinterpreted and mangled them, that they are essentially unrecognizable.
Regardless of this fact, the concepts of Judgement Day, End Times, War of Gog & Magog, & Moshiach, found in Qu'ran are borrowings from the Jews.
Sarah:
You would then never believe that God then wrote the quran and sent it down.....? :-\ :-\ of course not i hear you saying.
What is the main difference between Judaism and Islam, i mean regarding these concepts. If they are so closely related-not the religionin general just the odd concepts- then why don't we just believe in Judaism since it was there first.
Thinking about it, i don't know a thing about Judaism. Do you believe that the new testament was altered by some, well this is what we are taught at school. Thats why we shouldn't believe in it, they say. :-X
