In this video Dr Woodhead discusses the beginning of this prophecy we see Ezekiel receiving a prophecy from the God of the universe and he is told to “set his face” against Gog of the land of Magog and that he is the chief prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal. Ezekiel as God’s representative is in direct opposition to the man Gog and his goals. In the beginning of this section of Scripture the focus is on one person named Gog, the leader of the land of Magog. He is further described as the prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal. Gog is not a name but a title much like King, or Kaiser or Czar. The unidentified person who will be leading this alliance will be Ezekiel’s Gog at the time of the invasion. Some have referred to Vladimir Zhirinovsky the notorious Russian Jew hater as the One Who Would Be Gog.
Vladimir Zhirinovsky the ultra Russian nationalists is presently a four time presidential hopeful. In the December 1993 elections he was elected to the Russian parliament. His Liberal Democratic Party shocked the nation by receiving twenty-five percent of the votes cast. This is the party that has been compared to Hitler’s Nazi party. Liberal Democrat in the Russian sphere of political influence has a different meaning than what we are accustomed to in the United States. Some call them ultranationalists. Others see Vladimir Putin as the one who would be Gog. In any event he sees spoil in Israel that he wants and God uses this to lure him.
