THE WARS of
GOG
and MAGOG
by Alexander Zephyr.
Part 6.
Extract:
The Mountains of Israel throughout the Bible are everywhere identified with the
Land of Israel (Ezekiel 36:1, 8-12; 37:22; 38:8; 39:4). It is also recorded in
Scripture and secular history that the Land of Israel and the Mountains of
Israel are synonymous and connote no difference in their intention. After the
exile of the Jewish People by the Romans in 135 CE, for 2000 years they indeed
'had been desolate and continual waste' (Ezekiel 38:8) .
It is no accident that the Land of Israel throughout the centuries had not
become the home state for any one of the Empires who happened to conquered it.
This Land had lain desolate continuously from the time of the Romans through
occupation by Byzantine Christians, Arabs, and Turks to 1967, when it was
wrestled back from Jordan ('under sword'). Victorious Empires had never found
the Holy Land hospitable. The Land has always rejected other peoples.
It seems that Land has a loyalty to the People of Israel and mourns when they
are not on it.
God has kept the Promised Land in this way for His People Israel.

Re
#2. Daniel Duffield
: Are Not Mountains Symbolic of Countries?
http://britam.org/now2/1658Now.html#Daniel
Re: (2) Daniel Duffield, I would suggest he is correct as to the basis of
interpretation. Mountains/hills in the OT are symbolic of
kingdoms/governments, and by extension nations, (see Psa 2:6, Isa 13:4, Ezek
37:22, Oba 1:21). Indeed the sense of Ezek 37:22 requires a symbolic
interpretation, otherwise the restored tribes/nations of Israel would only
be located in mountainous regions, and not in the plains, deserts, valleys,
or around lakes/rivers/seas. A literal interpretation here would seem
ridiculous. Besides the Bible is usually pretty clear as to what it means,
if we just take the time, or indeed give it time. The function of a true
prophet of God, with a specific message, aside, prophecy is time-based in
its revelation. We don't often understand it until after it happens or
begins to happen (e.g. Zeph 2:7 and the result of the Six-Day War, the very
much awakened fourth beast of Daniel 7 and the current coalescing of the
king of the south - Dan 11).

Wikipedia Wrong.

#3. Brit-Am and Wikipedia

Re: (3) Wikipedia. That's rich, considering the wrong info and caveats
their articles contain at times. I'm kinda busy at the moment, but if I
have some time I'll access your info page and perhaps draft something
myself.
(c) Deep roots go way back and that is the point of restating them.

#5. Brit-Am No Longer Needed?

Re: (5) Well really! Freedom of expression is a fundamental human right,
even in God's eyes, though He may not agree with the form/effect of
expression, and as the Inventor of speech/writing, He allows/encourages it!
Also it is absolutely ridiculous to suggest that if sources you cite were
written hundreds or thousands of years ago that you provide no service
whatsoever by revisiting or reviving them (whether all recipients agree or
not). That is the whole point of history, culture and religion. Deep roots
go way back and that is the point of restating them. Kings Hezekiah (2 Chr
29) and Josiah (2 Ki 22) provide excellent examples of the restoration of
long-lost information/values having a positive effect on their societies.
The more modern Renaissance/Reformation is another example. In fact we
still don't know how the Great Pyramid was built with such precision -- so I
guess if you ever stumble across some ancient building plans/drawings you
should just keep them to yourself:-)

3. Brit-Am Health Advice.
Exodus 15:
26 and said, 'If you diligently heed the voice of the LORD your God and do what
is right in His sight, give ear to His commandments and keep all His statutes, I
will put none of the diseases on you which I have brought on the Egyptians. For
I am the LORD who heals you.'
This week Yair Davidiy was sick and irritable. I have now almost completely
gotten over whatever it was I had.
Usually I am healthy and vigorous and have been for most of my life.
The reason for my taking ill this time is at least partly perhaps to be ascribed
to a departure from a health regime.
I have now gone back to it.
This is based on reading, experience, and learning from others.
Your health is a derivative of inheritance, life-experience, and environment.
There are some things that will never change much.
Nevertheless we can always improve.
Here are some health pointers for your edification:
Exercise: Maimonides said exercise is more important than anything else
including diet. Exercise improves posture, gait, appearance, attitude, general
well-being, breathing, sleep, concentration, vigor, perseverance, strength, etc.
3 or 4 times a week is good but even only 2 (if kept up) is helpful. Sessions of
40 minutes to about 1 and a half hours are recommended. It should be noted
however that often ca. 70% of the benefit derives from the first 15 to 20
minutes. If therefore one is pressured for time then even a regular 10 to 15
minute workout can do a lot of good. Running, swimming, sport, etc are all
options. Exercise can also be harmful so be careful. After exercise one should
eat and drink something and drink again after.
Keep away from substance abuse. Avoid unnecessary medication and do not hurry to
undergo surgical operations.
Go to the doctor when you need to. I had a friend in the army who suffered
greatly through delaying the taking of simple medication at the right moment.
Learn form the mistakes of others.
Women should be aware that abortions are dangerous and can result in fertility
problems later. On the whole it is healthy for a woman to have children.
Drink water all day but especially in the morning when awakening.
Diet. Eat healthy foods. Cut down on sugar. If you exercise you can get away
with a higher sugar intake but look for healthy substitutes for at least part of
your sugar consumption.
Do not overeat. Do not forget to eat and drink. It happens that if one does not
eat or drink for too long the result is likely to be sudden attacks of fatigue,
irritability, mental distraction. Women should watch out that their husbands and
children eat something at set times.
Excretion. Go to the toilet whenever you need to. Do not hold yourself back.
Keep regular if necessary through consumption of roughage such as natural
cereals with milk or fruit juice.
Sleep. Winston Churchill used to sleep for an hour in the afternoon. This
enabled him to work well into the night. Sometimes one can go with little sleep
but pace yourself. When tired, rest.
Soap. Keep clean. Wash whenever you need to but cut down (if socially possible)
on the use of soap, shampoo, deodorants, etc. Sweat is not necessarily harmful
and your body has its own way of providing protection against smog and
environmental attacks.
Keep away from bad people and depressive circumstances. Avoid anger etc
especially in the home.
Avoid extremes of heat and cold unless you are inured to them. Get some fresh
air ands sunshine every day. In possible, as part of your exercise program try
and be in a place with greenery such as public park etc. This is good for body
and mind in ways that we are not consciously aware of.
Pray to the Almighty and learn the
Bible. This is statistically proven to have beneficial psychological and
physical influence.
