Questions

I have often taught on Ezekiel 38 over the years. It is an amazing prophetic passage that speaks of a coming invasion of Israel by a coalition of Middle Eastern and North African states led by a great northern power. However, there have been several pieces of the puzzle that I have always struggled to fit in place. For instance, why is Israel described in Ezekiel 38:11 as …the land of unwalled villages…them that are at rest, that dwell safely…dwelling without walls…having neither bars nor gates? And, why are such nations as Egypt, Edom, Ammon, Moab, and Babylon not mentioned?

Here is what I mean. The prophecy in Ezekiel 38 begins by saying in verses 1-6:

And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, Son of man, set thy face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him, And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal: And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws, and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armour, even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords: Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all of them with shield and helmet: Gomer, and all his bands; the house of Togarmah of the north quarters, and all his bands: and many people with thee.

These are the main nations involved in the Ezekiel 38 coalition that invades Israel. Now, when you first look at this passage you may not recognize too many of the nations mentioned right away. That's because the Bible uses the names of various people groups existing in Ezekiel's day instead of the modern place names. If we can identify who those people groups in the Bible are and where they were located, we can identify the modern nations represented by those groups.
