Ezekiel 38:4-6 (KJV) 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: 5 Persia (Iran), Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all of them with shield and helmet: 6 Gomer, and all his bands; the house of Togarmah of the north quarters, and all his bands: and many people with thee.
Does Gomer Refer To Germany? Q. You have the best site on the internet and I read all your articles on prophecy, Your knowledge of the word is very interesting. Recently our church invited a Rabbi who is born again to speak, and His choice of scripture was Ezekiel 38 and 39 . What I found odd was he said that Gomer refers to modern day Germany. I’ve read in your articles and many others where Gomer is referred to modern day Turkey. Now I’m confused. Which is most likely?
A. According to my research, Gomer inhabited the Rhine and Danube valleys. These are giant rivers that criss-cross all of Europe today, including Germany. Based on current events, I’ve leaned more toward Eastern Europe when thinking of Gomer in Ezekiel 38 because I believe the common denominator there is religion, specifically Islam, which is more prevalent in Eastern Europe.
I believe the Turkic people are descended from Togarmah, who was a son of Gomer’s but didn’t follow him into what is now Europe. Gomer’s brothers Meshech and Tubal are linked to Cappodocia and complete the reference to modern Turkey.

Destruction of Gog with His Great Army of Nations -
Ezekiel 38 and 39
Gog, in the land of Magog, prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal, will invade the restored land of Israel from the far distant northern land by the appointment of God in the last times, and with a powerful army of numerous nations (Ezekiel 38:1-9), with the intention of plundering Israel, now dwelling in security, that the Lord may sanctify Himself upon him before all the world (Ezekiel 38:10-16). But when Gog, of whom earlier prophets have already prophesied, shall fall upon Israel, he is to be destroyed by a wrathful judgment from the Lord, that the nations may know that God is the Lord (Ezekiel 38:17-23). On the mountains of Israel will Gog with all his hosts and nations succumb to the judgment of God (Ezekiel 39:1-8).
The inhabitants of the cities of Israel will spend seven years in burning the weapons of the fallen foe, and seven months in burying the corpses in a valley, which will receive its name from this, so as to purify the land (Ezekiel 38:9-16); whilst in the meantime all the birds and wild beasts will satiate themselves with the flesh and blood of the fallen (Ezekiel 38:17-20). By this judgment will all the nations as well as Israel know that it was on account of its sins that the Lord formerly gave up Israel into the power of the heathen, but that now He will no more forsake His redeemed people, because He has poured out His Spirit upon it (Ezekiel 38:21 -29).
