Gog and Magog Have Returned The Children of Israel
Gog and Magog Have Returned The Children of Israel
.
The city had been destroyed and the verses state that its
people are prohibited from returning to it until the following
conditions have been fulfilled:
1. Gog and Magog have been unleashed.
2. Gog and Magog have spread their presence all over
the world. Min kulli hadabin yansiloon has at least
the following realizations:
a) Gog and Magog have interbred with and have
35
descendants in every royal family and ruling
elite.
b) Gog and Magog have infiltrated every
organization (hadab = raised structure,
organization).
c) Gog and Magog are rushing down every hill
(are launching attacks or making war
everywhere).
These conditions suggest that Gog and Magog would be
helping the people of the destroyed city to return to it. In Chapter
Six, Shaykh Hosein successfully connects these verses to the
history of Jerusalem. He points out that the Children of Israel have
indeed been brought back to Jerusalem in the last century after the
city was destroyed long ago and they were chased out of it. These
verses explain why Israel has been created and why the Children of
Israel were forced to return to their old city (Jerusalem). Shaykh
Hosein correctly argues that those who accomplished this act must
be Gog and Magog.
