Britain, France, and the Prophecy of Gog and Magog: Historical, Biblical & Cultural Connections

Introduction

Gog and Magog in Biblical Prophecy

Gog is described as a leader of a great invasion against Yahuah’s people, and Magog as the land or peoples allied with him. Ezekiel 38–39 portrays Gog as “the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal in the land of Magog,” summoned with a vast coalition “from throughout the world” to invade true Israel. This army advances “like a cloud covering the earth” to plunder and loot defenseless communities. Yahuah intervenes with disaster to destroy Gog’s forces, vindicating His holiness. In the New Testament, the Book of Revelation applies Gog and Magog to a final rebellion: after 1,000 years of peace, Satan rallies Gog and Magog, “the nations in the four corners of the earth”, to besiege “the camp of the saints” and “the beloved city” (Jerusalem). They are ultimately consumed by fire from heaven. These passages emphasize Gog and Magog as end-time enemies, commanding multi-national hordes that encircle Yahuah’s people for the purpose of seizing spoil and destroying the holy city. Any historical analogy to Gog and Magog must involve far-reaching military alliances, mass plunder, and antagonism toward the true Israelites and their Jerusalem in the Ethiopian Highlands. Note that in Revelation 20, Gog and Magog is indentified only as a horde from around the world, and not a specific geolocation.

 

 

Legends of Gog and Magog in British Culture

Long before modern prophecy debates, Britain’s own folklore entwined itself with Gog and Magog. In medieval legend, Gogmagog was a giant chieftain in Albion (Britain) who was defeated by the Trojan warrior Brutus’s champion, Corineus. (The Lord Mayor's Show, n.d.) (Britannica, n.d.) According to the tale (recorded by Geoffrey of Monmouth and others), Brutus,  the mythical founder of London, vanquished the race of giants that populated early Britain. The defeated giants Gog and Magog were brought to London as captives and made to stand guard at the city’s gates. This legend persisted into tradition: to this day, wooden effigies of Gog and Magog are prominent in London’s Guildhall and are paraded each year as the symbolic guardians of the City of London. The giants even feature in the Lord Mayor’s Show, carried as giant wicker figures (named Gog and Magog) at the head of the procession. British culture thus appropriated Gog and Magog as part of its own origin story, mighty foes from whom the British claimed victory and legitimacy. The very names Gog and Magog became linked to London’s identity (the heart of the British Empire), an ironic twist given that in prophecy these names represent the enemies of Yahuah’s people. Britain’s Gog and Magog lore shows a cultural familiarity with the biblical symbols, even casting Britain in the role of conqueror over Gog and Magog. Yet, as we shall see, the historical actions of Britain (and its ally France) align them not with saintly victors, but with the prophesied aggressors themselves.


From Magog to the West: Migratory Histories of Anglo-Saxons, Franks, and Others

Connecting the British to the Ashkenaz, Their Scythian Roots, and the Khazars

The British Royal Family, the Ashkenaz (Germans), the Scythians, and the Khazars share interconnected historical, biblical, and migration-based links. These connections are found through biblical genealogies, the movement of the Scythians, and the Khazar-Ashkenazi influence over European power structures.


1. Biblical Connection: Ashkenaz and the Scythians

  • Ashkenaz is mentioned in Genesis 10:3 as a son of Gomer, who was a son of Japheth.

  • Josephus (1st century AD) identified Magog with the Scythians, meaning that the Scythians could be linked to both Magog and Ashkenaz.

  • The Scythians were a nomadic Indo-European people who migrated from the Eurasian steppe, spreading into Eastern Europe, the Caucasus, and eventually into Central Europe.

Ashkenaz = The Early Scythians?

  • The Assyrians called the Scythians "Ashkuza", which sounds similar to Ashkenaz.

  • The Scythians dominated the Eurasian Steppe (7th-3rd centuries BC), an area that later became the homeland of the Khazars.

2. The Scythians' Migration and the Formation of the Khazars

  • Over centuries, Scythian-descended groups mixed with Turkic tribes in the region that later became Khazaria (modern Ukraine, southern Russia, and the Caucasus).

  • The Khazars (7th-10th centuries AD) were a Turkic people, but many scholars argue they had Scythian and Ashkenazi Jewish influences.

  • The Khazar ruling elite converted to Judaism around the 8th-9th century AD, creating the first Jewish kingdom outside of true Israel in Africa.

Khazars and the Ashkenazi Jews

  • After the collapse of Khazaria (10th century AD), many Khazars migrated westward into Germany and Eastern Europe.

  • Over time, these populations became known as Ashkenazi Jews, who primarily settled in Germany, Poland, and Central Europe.

  • The term "Ashkenaz" in Jewish tradition became synonymous with Germany.

3. The Ashkenazi Migration into England and Their Role in British Power

Ashkenazi Jews in Britain

  • After 1066, with the Norman Conquest, many Ashkenazi Jews from France entered England, invited by William the Conqueror to handle financial matters.

  • By the 12th-13th centuries, Ashkenazi Jews were deeply involved in British finance, trade, and royal courts.

  • The British monarchy relied heavily on Jewish financiers to fund wars and expansions.

4. British Royal Family and Germanic (Ashkenazi) Roots

  • The British Royal Family has German origins, specifically from the House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, which ruled German regions heavily populated by Ashkenazi Jews.

  • The House of Hanover (which ruled Britain from 1714-1901) had strong connections to Germany, where the majority of Ashkenazi Jews resided.

British-German Royal Intermarriages

  • Prince Albert (Queen Victoria's husband) was from Saxe-Coburg and Gotha (Germany), further strengthening ties between British royalty and Germanic nobility.

  • King George V (1917) changed the royal house name from Saxe-Coburg and Gotha to Windsor due to anti-German sentiment during World War I.

5. The Influence of Ashkenazi Banking Families in Britain

  • The Rothschild banking dynasty (of Ashkenazi Jewish origin) became influential in British financial and political affairs.

  • The Rothschilds funded the British Empire’s expansion, controlled banking networks, and were even granted noble titles.

 

6. Connections

To understand how Britain and France connect to Magog, we must trace the migratory origins of their dominant peoples, the Anglo-Saxons and Franks, and related groups like the Germans, Scythians, and Khazars. According to both legend and some scholarly views, many of these groups ultimately sprang from the same stock as Magog in the Bible. Medieval “Table of Nations” traditions associated Magog with peoples around the Black Sea and Caspian Sea (e.g. Scythians), who later migrated into Europe. Likewise, Gomer (Magog’s brother) was seen as father of Ashkenaz, Togarmah, and others who populated Europe and Central Asia. Modern genealogists and creation historians note that the Germanic peoples, including Angles, Saxons, and Franks, trace back to Ashkenaz, son of Gomer, son of Japheth​. In other words, Anglo-Saxon England and Frankish France came from Japheth’s line. The Angles and Saxons who settled Britain were Germanic tribes from northern Europe​; those Germanic peoples “came from their ancestor Ashkenaz,” a grandson of Japheth​. Later Jewish settlers in Central Europe adopted the name “Ashkenazi” because medieval Jews long recognized Germany as “the land of Ashkenaz”​. What this means is that Britain and France’s core populations are Japhethites – in biblical terms, they are from the same family tree as Magog and his relatives.


Moreover, the Scythians – whom Josephus linked to Magog – are an important link in this chain. Scythian and related Sarmatian tribes roamed the steppe from Ukraine to Central Asia in antiquity, and some of these Indo-European groups are believed to have moved westward over centuries, contributing to the ethnogenesis of various European tribes (possibly including elements of the Franks and other Germanic or Slavic peoples). By the time of the Great Migrations (4th–6th centuries AD), numerous barbarian peoples of Scythian or Germanic origin (Goths, Alans, etc.) flooded into the Western Roman Empire. The Franks emerged as a Germanic confederation that conquered Gaul, and the Angles and Saxons moved into Britain. Thus, the very peoples who formed the kingdoms of England and France ultimately hailed from the broad “northern nation” archetype that the Bible associates with Magog.

Another critical piece is the Khazars, a semi-nomadic Turkic people in the Caucasus/Volga region who converted to Judaism in the 8th–9th century. The Khazar Empire claimed descent from Japheth as well: King Joseph of the Khazars, in correspondence around 960 AD, wrote “we are descended from Japheth, through his son Togarmah.” He even preserved a tradition that Togarmah (a son of Gomer, Japheth’s grandson) had ten sons who became ancestral founders of tribes, “the seventh was Khazar,” from whom the Khazar people sprang​. This admission means the Khazars saw themselves as part of the Japhethite/Gomerite family (not Semitic), which is consistent with modern genetic and historical studies of their lineage.


The significance here is that a large portion of Eastern European Jewry, the Ashkenazi Jews, may descend in part from those Khazar converts to Judaism. In effect, Ashkenazi Jews are named after Ashkenaz (Japheth’s descendant), and history suggests many are literally of Ashkenaz’s bloodline rather than of the house of Israel. One famous analysis by Arthur Koestler noted: “The large majority of surviving Jews in the world are of Eastern European descent – and thus perhaps mainly of Khazar origin. If so, this would mean that their ancestors came not from the Jordan but from the Volga, not from Canaan but from the Caucasus… and that genetically they are more closely related to the Huns, Uigurs, and Magyars than to the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.”​. In other words, modern Ashkenazi Jews, who spearheaded the Zionist movement in Europe, might essentially be Japhethites masquerading as Shemites (Israelites). This notion of “impostor Israelites” will be revisited later. But even aside from the Khazar theory, the dominant powers of Europe are firmly rooted in Japheth’s line, the very lineage that spawned Gog and Magog in the table of nations.


“To Take a Spoil”: Colonialism and Slavery Through a Biblical Lens – Pretext for Ezekiel 38 and 39

One of the hallmark motives of Gog’s prophesied invasion is plunder. Ezekiel emphasizes that Gog will come to “take a spoil” and prey upon a people dwelling peacefully​. The question to ask, then, is which nations in history have assembled vast coalitions to invade lands and seize immense spoils? This will illustrate a people who have done in the past what Gog and Magog are predicted to do in the future. The record of the last few centuries unmistakably points to the colonial powers of Western Europe. Britain and France, in particular, led multinational coalitions that spanned the globe, conquering and exploiting lands across Africa, Asia, and the Americas. Their era of expansion, the age of colonialism and the transatlantic slave trade, mirrors the Gog-Magog scenario in several striking ways. European colonialism was essentially a series of invasions of foreign territories for the purpose of economic gain. In the late 19th century, the “Scramble for Africa” saw Britain, France, and other European nations (Belgium, Germany, Italy, Portugal, Spain) carve up nearly the entire African continent into colonies. This was formalized by the Berlin Conference (1884–85), where 14 countries (led by Germany’s Bismarck at the behest of Belgium’s King Leopold) negotiated the partition of Africa​. The result was a “carve-up of Africa” that plundered the continent’s human and natural resources for European profit​. By the early 20th century, Britain and France were the dominant colonial overlords in Africa, with Britain controlling vast swathes from Cairo to Cape Town and Nigeria to Kenya, and France ruling much of West and Central Africa​. Smaller nations took pieces as well. Like Gog’s alliance of “many nations,” the European powers acted in concert, sometimes competing, sometimes cooperating, to devour Africa’s wealth. Their armies and companies descended upon communities that had never seen such foreign invaders, as much as we see Gog coming upon an “unsuspecting people… dwelling without walls”​.

European empires partition Africa during the Scramble (1880–1913). By 1913, nearly the entire continent (right) was claimed by Western powers (British territories in red, French in blue, etc.), compared to the patchwork of independent African kingdoms in 1880 (left)​

The transatlantic slave trade was another facet of this plunder. From the 1500s through the 1800s, European traders (primarily British, French, Portuguese, Spanish, and Dutch) captured and transported millions of African Israelites as slaves to the Americas. This horrific enterprise was driven by greed, a literal “taking of spoil” in the form of human lives and labor. Not only Christian Europeans but also some Ashkenazi Jewish merchants played notable roles in this commerce. In fact, Jewish participation in Atlantic slavery was “particularly pronounced in Dutch colonies,” where Jews at one point controlled up to 17% of the Caribbean slave trade. In colonies like Suriname and Curaçao, Sephardic Jewish planters and traders were deeply involved, owning plantations and trading slaves such that slave auctions were even postponed on Jewish holidays​. While they were by no means the only participants, it’s significant that Ashkenazi/Sephardic financiers and traders were interwoven with the broader European colonial machine​. The British and French, however, were the chief imperial powers running this slave system by the 18th–19th centuries, after earlier Iberian dominance waned. Britain’s Royal African Company and France’s Compagnie des Indes shipped tens of thousands of African Israelites to New World plantations. This massive scale of theft, of people, of labor, of resources, aligns well with Ezekiel’s image of Gog’s forces gathering to plunder “cattle and goods” and carry away great booty​. What was is what will be there is no new thing under the sun. Ecclesiastes 1:9



The pattern of resource exploitation by Britain and France continued into the modern era and arguably persists today (neo-colonialism). European empires extracted Africa’s gold, diamonds, rubber, ivory, oil, and more. A vivid example was Britain’s 1868 expedition to Magdala (Ethiopia), which, though launched under pretext of a diplomatic rescue, ended with British troops looting huge amounts of Ethiopian treasure and burning Emperor Tewodros’s fortress to the ground​. (School of Anthropology & Museum Ethnography, n.d.) Eyewitness accounts describe the British force, having defeated the Ethiopian army, proceeding to plunder the mountain stronghold, seizing hundreds of illuminated manuscripts, crowns, gold and silver crosses, royal jewelry and other priceless artifacts, before setting the place aflame​. The stolen treasures were shipped to Britain, some ending up in the British Museum and libraries at Oxford and Cambridge​. This incident eerily echoes the Gog narrative: an invasion into the Ethiopian highlands resulting in the invaders “carrying off spoil and prey”. Indeed, one Ethiopian commentator bitterly observed of the Magdala raid, “What was taken from Magdala was not found there accidentally… we call it looting.”​. (Indiandefencereview, n.d.) Such episodes were repeated across Africa and Asia wherever the British and French went – from the sacking of Benin City (Nigeria) by the British in 1897, to the plundering of treasures from the Chinese Summer Palace by Anglo-French troops in 1860. Western Europe’s powers left a trail of despoiled villages and cities in their imperial wake, just as Gog’s horde would do.


If one considers the Ethiopian Highlands as the true location of Jerusalem/Zion (a theory posited by this ministry), the significance grows. Ethiopia, home of the ancient Aksum kingdom, the Falasha (Beta Israel) Jews (Esra’elawi), and rich traditions linking it to Solomon’s lineage via the Queen of Sheba, could be seen as the true “Jerusalem” that Gog might target. Notably, Ethiopia was one African nation that largely resisted colonization (apart from a brief Italian occupation in the 20th century). Yet Britain and France did encroach around it (British in Sudan and Egypt to the north, French in Djibouti to the east), and Britain’s aforementioned Magdala expedition penetrated its heart. If Ethiopia were in some sense “the camp of the saints” or a custodian of Israelite heritage, the Western aggression against it and the wider region takes on a prophetic dimension. Africa as a whole, especially sub-Saharan Africa, has been pillaged by Western Europe for centuries, just as one would expect Gog and Magog to “devour” the wealth of Yahuah’s people in the last days. The prophecy of Gog’s attack “to take a spoil and to take a prey” perfectly aligns with the historical record of European colonialism: Western nations descended with overwhelming force upon lands of the Biblical south, intent on robbery and conquest​ and enslavement. The phrase "to turn thine hand upon the desolate places that are now inhabited, and upon the people that are gathered out of the nations" suggests that the attack is not just on the land but also on the people who have returned. The same people who enslaved the Israelites before are going to try it again.

 

Ashkenaz, Zionism, and the Control of European Power

A critical angle in identifying Gog and Magog is the role of Ashkenazi Zionism in European imperial strategy and the phenomenon of identity theft of the true Israelites. As established, Ashkenaz (a Japhethite ancestor) gave his name to the Ashkenazi Jews, who by the 19th–20th centuries comprised the majority of European Jewry​. Many of them, descended from people outside the land of Israel (including converts like the Khazars), nonetheless claimed to be the ethnic heirs of ancient Israel. This de facto “identity theft”, Gentiles taking on the mantle of Yahuah’s chosen people, is remarkably on point for Gog and Magog. In Revelation, Yahuah rebukes those “who say they are Jews and are not” (Revelation 2:9, 3:9), a statement often interpreted as exposing a false claim to Israelite identity. The Ashkenazi-led Zionist movement is a real-world embodiment of that dynamic. By the late 19th century, Zionist leaders (Theodor Herzl and others, predominantly Ashkenazi) were lobbying European powers to back a plan for a Jewish homeland. In effect, they sought to create a political state claiming the heritage of Israel, even though, as Koestler and others argued, many of these people had no blood descent from the ancient Israelites (Esra’elawi)​.


Britain and France’s involvement with Zionism illustrates how European imperial interests and Ashkenazi ambitions worked hand-in-hand, consistent with Gog and Magog acting in unison. The clearest example is the Balfour Declaration of 1917. In the midst of World War I, as Britain contended with the Ottoman Empire (which ruled Palestine), the British government issued a letter, the Balfour Declaration, supporting “the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people.” This letter was addressed to Lord Walter Rothschild, a leader of Britain’s Jewish (Ashkenazi) community, for transmission to the Zionist Federation​. (Wikipedia (Balfour Declaration), n.d.) In fact, British officials consulted and coordinated with Zionist leaders (like Rothschild and Chaim Weizmann) in drafting this policy, while pointedly excluding any representation of the native Arab inhabitants of Palestine​. Here we see Zionism literally guiding the actions of the British Empire: at British request, Rothschild and Weizmann “submitted a draft” of the declaration, and the final policy was shaped to suit Zionist interests​. The outcome after WWI was that Britain took control of Palestine (as a mandate) and facilitated Jewish immigration there, laying the groundwork for the future state of a fake Israel. This aligned with the Crusades, to establish palestine as the fake promise land with a fake Jerusalem.


In the context of prophecy, one might view the Western European empires and the Zionist movement as two arms of Gog and Magog, working together to dominate Yahuah’s heritage. The Western nations provided the military might and global reach; the Ashkenazi Zionists provided financial leverage and a deceptive claim to Israel’s identity. Together, they not only conquered the physical lands of biblical Israel (and much of Africa), but also hijacked the spiritual identity of Israel. To the descendants of enslaved African Israelites and colonized peoples (many of whom believe themselves to be the true scattered children of Israel), the establishment of a political “Israel” in 1948 by European Jews was the culmination of an audacious identity theft. It was as if Gog and Magog succeeded in installing a false Zion while keeping the real Jerusalem oppressed and forgotten. Indeed, Western media and scholarship for years ignored or downplayed the Hebraic claims of Ethiopians and other African peoples, while celebrating the European Israelis as “the Jews.” This grand deception fits the prophetic pattern of Gog/Magog’s attempt to usurp Yahuah’s plan, an attempt that will ultimately fail when truth prevails.


Britain and France vs. Russia: Why Western Europe Fits the Gog-Magog Profile

Considering all the above, the case becomes strong that Britain and France (and their allies) fulfill the role of Gog and Magog far more convincingly than Russia does because of their histoical actions. Several key points of comparison can be made:


  • Biblical Geography: Gog is said to come from “the far north” relative to Israel. While many have pointed to Russia on a modern map, in biblical times “north” often meant Asia Minor and beyond. The names Meshech, Tubal, Gomer, and Togarmah (Ezekiel 38:2-6) all refer to peoples in Asia Minor and the Caucasus, broadly the progenitors of Europe and Anatolia. Magog was identified with tribes north of the Black Sea (Scythians)​, who migrated into Europe. In essence, the table of nations situates Magog’s offspring in the Indo-European sphere. Russia is indeed Indo-European (Slavic) in part, but much of Russia’s territory is actually northeast of Israel (and east, into Asia). Western Europe lies more directly northwest. Crucially, the British and French peoples emerged from the very Japhethite stocks (Gomer, Ashkenaz, etc.) that are listed alongside Magog. In contrast, the name “Rosh” in Ezekiel 38:2 (which some link to “Russia”) is argued by many scholars simply to mean “chief” (an adjective, not a proper noun). Identifying Gog with Russia is a relatively modern interpretation, popularized in the 19th and 20th centuries by some Christian futurists. Historically, Europeans more often saw themselves or their rivals as Gog/Magog – for instance, medieval Europeans saw Muslim armies or Mongols as Gog/Magog, while some in the Eastern world saw European Crusaders as Gog/Magog.

 

  • Historical Actions – Scale of Invasion and Coalition: Gog is to assemble a vast horde from many nations. Britain and France led the largest coalitions in history (think of the British Empire’s dominions and colonies on every continent, and France’s global empire). At their height, the British and French empires together controlled over half the world. They also fought in alliance in multiple world wars and colonial wars. The sun never set on the British Empire, literally spanning “the four corners of the earth.” This global reach is explicitly parallel to Revelation 20:8, which calls Gog and Magog “the nations in the four corners of the earth”​. No other powers have so thoroughly reached those four corners as Britain (with its influence in North America, Africa, Asia, and Oceania) and France (in Africa, Southeast Asia, Pacific, Caribbean). By contrast, Russia, even at imperial zenith or during the Soviet era, was a contiguous land empire mainly in Eurasia, formidable regionally, but not truly worldwide in presence. Western Europe also repeatedly formed coalitions for war: the Crimean War coalition, the World War I Allies, World War II Allies, NATO, etc. Gog’s alliance in Ezekiel includes Persia, Cush (Sudan/Ethiopia), Libya and others, interestingly, Britain and France fought in or over all those regions (e.g. British battles in Sudan and Libya in WWI/WWII; French in North Africa; both meddling in Persia/Iran). Russia did not engage those areas to the same extent. Thus, in terms of breadth of nations gathered and targets attacked, Britain and France fit the prophecy’s scope.

 

  • “Taking a Spoil”: Economic Might and Theft – Gog is motivated by plunder, and Western Europe’s wealth was built on plunder. Britain and France drained colonies to enrich their homelands. To this day, the impact is seen in the vast wealth gap between Europe and Africa. Western corporations continue to extract African minerals, often under inequitable terms set in the colonial era. Russia, while it had colonies in Central Asia and Siberia, did not extract on the same global scale; its economy was not historically as dependent on overseas loot (until perhaps recent oil/gas dealings). Additionally, the transatlantic slave trade by Western powers was an unparalleled act of plunder of human souls, something Gog, the great oppressor, would have no hesitation in doing. It’s telling that after slavery’s abolition, European powers immediately turned to Africa itself for direct exploitation (the Scramble). The drive to “spoil the spoil and prey the prey” never left​. In sheer volume of “spoil” taken, land, gold, people, artifacts; Britain and France outstripped any other contenders for the title of Gog and Magog. Gog and Magog will come back again to try and take the land, people (as prey) and resources once more. To enslave the true Israelites once more.


Prey is the word baz:

  • Identity and Deception: Western Europe’s dominion came with a narrative: they claimed to be bearers of Christianity and civilization, even as they engaged in unchristian acts. Meanwhile, their Zionist partners claimed to be the Children of Israel, even as they often had to invent genealogies to cover their Khazar or European roots. This grand deception, Europeans posing as Israel’s saviors and as Israel itself, is fitting for Gog and Magog, which in apocalyptic literature are forces of deception as well as destruction (recall, Satan “deceives the nations” called Gog and Magog in Rev. 20:8​). Britain and France portrayed their empires as a benevolent mission (the “White Man’s burden”); Zionists portrayed their colonization of Palestine as a rightful “return” to their ancestral home. In truth, these were acts of conquest and usurpation. The real descendants of Israel, if one accepts the premise that many were among the African diaspora, were exploited and kept subjugated. Thus, Western Europe and Ashkenazi Zionism collectively fulfill the prophecy not only in brute force but in spiritual falsehood and history.

 

The Real Target: Jerusalem in the Ethiopian Highlands

If one accepts that the true Jerusalem is in the Ethiopian Highlands, rather than the counterfeit in so-called Palestine, then the direction of Gog and Magog’s invasion must be reconsidered. Instead of coming from the far north of a fake Jerusalem, Britain and France, as leaders of the colonial world, are directly north of the Ethiopian Highlands.


Western Europe, particularly Britain and France, led the transatlantic slave trade, the colonization of Africa, and the plunder of African resources. Ezekiel’s prophecy states that Gog and Magog will come to take a spoil, and Western Europe has already done so through its centuries of gold, diamond, and resource theft. A future endeavor they will try to repeat.

Britain’s invasion of Ethiopia in 1868, its looting of Ethiopian treasures from Magdala, and France’s control over regions near Ethiopia further demonstrate the colonial lust for Africa’s wealth. As history shows, these nations have always desired to plunder and dominate the African continent. Given that prophecy states that Gog and Magog will attack after the true Israelites return to their land in fulfillment of Jeremiah 29:14, the most logical aggressors are the same colonial nations that stole the land and identity of the Israelites in the first place.


In contrast, Russia, often singled out in popular prophecy circles, lacks many of these qualifications. Russia did not build a maritime empire or lead a global coalition to colonize “Africa”. Geographically, Russia is northeast, but parts of Britain and France lie due north of the of true Jerusalem in what is today known as Ethiopia. Culturally, Russians never embraced Gog/Magog imagery for themselves; if anything, during the Cold War, Western authors branded Russia as “Magog” while Russians were largely unaware of the label. This Western-centric assignment hints that Gog and Magog might have been in the mirror all along for Europe.


Finally, consider the current post-colonial influence: Britain and France still maintain outsized influence in their former colonies (the Commonwealth, Francophonie, military bases in Africa, currency controls like the CFA franc). They continue to benefit from African resources (oil, uranium, etc. from countries like Nigeria, Angola, Niger, Mali). This ongoing “taking of spoil” suggests Gog and Magog are still active. Meanwhile, these nations also strongly support the modern State of Israel diplomatically and militarily, further entwining Western Europe with the pseudo-Israelite project. Russia, by comparison, had a minimal colonial footprint in Africa and today has limited ties to modern Israel (it sometimes opposes Western Middle East agendas). In sum, when weighing biblical clues, historical deeds, and global impact, Western Europe, led by Britain and France, emerges as a far more compelling fulfilllment of Gog and Magog than Russia ever has. They are the nations that gathered from the ends of the earth, invaded the resting people, stole the treasure, and installed counterfeit regimes, just as prophecy forewarns. They will also do this once more. One of their allies may be Ukraine.  Especially seeing them in the news about their war against Russia. This would tie the Khazarian land (Ukraine), or Magogian land to this mass invasion in the future, with their German cousins in Western Europe.  Just as NATO and the United States today want Ukrainian resources, they will be coming again for the resources of Africa since they are currently being pushed out by leaders like Ibrahim Traore. Interestingly, Africa is calling it’s people back to the continent, which will definitely remove more Western European influence from Africa. When the people return to Africa they will be at rest, and Western Europe will do what they have always done, kill, steal, enslave and destroy.

 

Conclusion

The legends and legacies linking Britain and France to Gog and Magog are not mere curiosities, but pieces of a prophetic puzzle. From the British giants Gog and Magog symbolically guarding London​, to the Japhethite ancestry of Anglo-Franks tying them to Magog’s kin​, to the sweeping colonial conquests that saw Western armies encircle the globe “like a cloud”​, the parallels are striking. Britain and France led missions of plunder and domination on an unprecedented scale, a true historical embodiment of Gog’s campaign “to take a spoil”​. With the collusion of Ashkenazi Zionists, they not only seized lands and wealth, but also seized the identity of Yahuah’s people, attempting to recast the narrative of who Israel is. They will also recast their futuristic plans as Gog and Magog to re-enslave the Israelties again, and take back what they consider their resources.

If one shifts the prophetic lens away from Cold War biases and instead views the entire saga of European colonialism and world dominance as the drama of Gog and Magog, the pieces fall into place. The “camp of the saints” under siege can be seen as Africa and the true diaspora of Israel, surrounded and exploited by the nations of Western Europe. The “beloved city” (Jerusalem) finds its echo both in the spiritual heart of Africa (Ethiopian Zion) and in the literal city of Jerusalem, which was pried from its native custodians and handed to others. In both cases, Britain and France were at the forefront.

Thus, the often-repeated finger at Russia may be a red herring; the more insidious fulfillment of Gog and Magog has been unfolding via Western Europe for centuries. The prophetic outcome, however, is clear: Gog and Magog’s triumph is short-lived. Eventually, divine justice falls, perhaps in the form of anti-colonial liberation, perhaps in yet-future judgments, and the true people of Yahuah are vindicated. The theory presented here, with historical citations and biblical correlations, strongly supports the thesis that Britain and France (and their fellow Western powers) best fit the bill as Gog and Magog in prophecy, based on biblical geography, historical actions of colonization/slavery, and the grand deception of identity. In the final reckoning, it will be seen that the ones who carried off the world’s spoil and falsely wore the mantle of Israel were indeed Gog and Magog all along, and their fall will herald the restoration of truth for Jerusalem and the real Israel.

The prophecy of Gog and Magog aligns most clearly with Britain and France, not Russia. These nations have a direct historical and biological connection to Gomer through Germany, as the Anglo-Saxons and Franks both trace their lineage back to the Germanic tribes, which themselves descend from Gomer. Britain and France, as the dominant colonial powers, led the charge in stealing the true Israelite identity, and exploiting its people and resources. Their imperialist actions throughout history reflect the very nature of Gog and Magog, and as prophecy unfolds, they will once again seek to reassert their dominance over a restored African Jerusalem. The only thing left is their final confrontation with Yahuah Himself.
