Gog of the Land of Magog - Gog and Magog

{Texts in italics are my commentaries according to my understanding.}
Who is Gog?
Gog is not a man or a human. He is a principality, a fallen angel, a prince because the land of Magog was assigned to him.
When?
Deuteronomy 32:7-8 tells us of the scattering of the people, after the Tower of Babel, according to the number of the 'sons of God'. Only the ESV translation uses the term 'sons of God'. The others somehow use the term 'children of Israel', which make no sense, since we're dealing of an event when even Abraham was not born.
Genesis 6, does mention the 'sons of God' appropriately. Unfortunately, many attribute the 'sons of God' as the sons of Seth, refusing to acknowledge the existence of fallen angels, and their ability to take human form.

Genesis 6

1 Now it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born to them,
2 that the sons of God saw the daughters of men, that they were beautiful; and they took wives for themselves of all whom they chose.
3 And the Lord said, “My Spirit shall not strive with man forever, for he is indeed flesh; yet his days shall be one hundred and twenty years.”
4 There were giants on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men and they bore children to them. Those were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown.

The progenies of the fallen angels also called Watchers in the book of Enoch, later called principalities or princes, after the scattering of the people, are called Nephilim. Jubilees 7 tells us of three types of Nephilim: giants; Naphil; and Eljo's.
Pay attention of what Genesis 6 tells us: "in those days, and also afterward"
What happened between "in those days, and also afterward"?
The Flood happened, killing everything on earth (but not in the sea). The world was renewed by height people, the family of Noah.
Did the fallen angels die? NO, they are immortals. The Nephilim however died.
So what happened to the Watchers? Where they punished?
Well, according to Jubilees 10, after the Flood, most were bound in the pit. 1/10 of them were left free under the supervision of Satan, and they are now princes of assigned land masses. Gog is one of them. This should give you a hint of who rules the world (for now).

An Event Well Planned

There are four parts to this 'evil plan': Conspiracy; Historical facts; Prophecy; 'Conspiracy Theory' (my theory).
Judaism with it's traditions, worship practices, was not particular to only those called Israelites or Judahites. Elsewhere in the world many civilisations followed the teachings of Noah and his sons. Abraham spent decades with and learned from Noah and Shem (Jasher 9) who knew the Creator, the Almighty God. Japhetites, took those teachings all the way to today China and later the Americas. Hamites is Africa had also similar practices. You could say the whole world at first worshiped the same God, aside for those who in time worshiped Nephilims and fallen angels ('men of renown'). A good example is the Greeks with Zeus, who was none other than Satan in a humanoid form. (Revelation 2:12-13)
Jesus Christ is born; crucified; and resurected. It is then that some Jews, became followers of Christ, and others in protest, helped grow Judaism. Judaism just like Christianity, took a stand. Christians were persecuted by the Pagan world and... And Europe at large including the land of Magog saw a growth of converts of Judaism. Gog's followers the few men whom he wisperred to, made it happen.
Then the persecution of the Jews had to happen all over the world: Queen Isabela of Spain did a pretty good job. Hitler did an even better job with his gas chambers. The Satanic family of Rothschild had drawn the Balfour Declaration, between WW1 and WW2 (as if they knew WW2 and Hitler would happen). WWII ends and here comes the UN to the rescue, armed with the Balfour Declaration, to create a new nation for the Jews, in a land at the time controlled by the British. The rest is recent history, and the fullfilement of Ezekiel 38. In 1948, "Gomer and all its troops; the house of Togarmah from the far north and all its troops—many people are with you." They may have fooled people, but they didn't fool God (Revelation 2:9 and 3:9). What followed is the Nakba and the subjugation of the peaceful people who lived there, native to the land, most of them descendants of Israelites who converted by force to Islam when the Islamic conquests began.
In 1947, Muslims; Jews (Judahites); and Christians lived together peacefully, with no walls, bars of gates.
In 1948, Gog's 'evil plan' supervised by Satan, came to fruition.

Ezekiel 38

5 Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya are with them, all of them with shield and helmet;
6 Gomer and all its troops; the house of Togarmah from the far north and all its troops—many people are with you.
7 “Prepare yourself and be ready, you and all your companies that are gathered about you; and be a guard for them.
8 After many days you will be visited. In the latter years you will come into the land of those brought back from the sword and gathered from many people on the mountains of Israel, which had long been desolate; they were brought out of the nations, and now all of them dwell safely.
9 You will ascend, coming like a storm, covering the land like a cloud, you and all your troops and many peoples with you.”
10 ‘Thus says the Lord God: “On that day it shall come to pass that thoughts will arise in your mind, and you will make an evil plan:
11 You will say, ‘I will go up against a land of unwalled villages; I will go to a peaceful people, who dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates’—
12 to take plunder and to take booty, to stretch out your hand against the waste places that are again inhabited, and against a people gathered from the nations, who have acquired livestock and goods, who dwell in the midst of the land.
13 Sheba, Dedan, the merchants of Tarshish, and all their young lions will say to you, ‘Have you come to take plunder? Have you gathered your army to take booty, to carry away silver and gold, to take away livestock and goods, to take great plunder?’ ” ’
14 “Therefore, son of man, prophesy and say to Gog, ‘Thus says the Lord God: “On that day when My people Israel dwell safely, will you not know it?
15 Then you will come from your place out of the far north, you and many peoples with you, all of them riding on horses, a great company and a mighty army.
16 You will come up against My people Israel like a cloud, to cover the land. It will be in the latter days that I will bring you against My land, so that the nations may know Me, when I am hallowed in you, O Gog, before their eyes.”
17 Thus says the Lord God: “Are you he of whom I have spoken in former days by My servants the prophets of Israel, who prophesied for years in those days that I would bring you against them?

Proof that Ezekiel 38 was fulfilled in 1948. Historical fact of 1948: Israel became part of what analysts later described as the “Periphery Alliance”—a network of non-Arab regional partners including Iran, Turkey, and Ethiopia designed to offset strategic isolation in the Middle East.
Yes, the invaders and Iran were allies.

Scripture	Ezekiel 38 'evil plan'	Revelation 20 (rebellion)
Year	5,952	7,000
When?	"In the latter days" "In the latter years"	"At the end of the 1,000 years" "when the thousand years have expired, Satan will be released"
Who ?	"Gomer and all its troops; the house of Togarmah from the far north"	"Gog and Magog"
How it Ends	"I will turn you around, put hooks into your jaws, and lead you out" "I will call for a sword against Gog throughout all My mountains" “Every man’s sword will be against his brother."	"And fire came down from God out of heaven and devoured them." "The devil, who deceived them, was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone where the beast and the false prophet are. And they will be tormented day and night forever and ever."

Now some commentaries.
Who are Gomer, the house of Togarmah from the far North?
Gomer was a son of Japheth: "The sons of Japheth were Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshech, and Tiras." He had three sons: "The sons of Gomer were Ashkenaz, Riphath, and Togarmah." In 1 Chronicles 1, Riphath is called Diphath.
Ashkenazi Jews are converts descendants of Ashkenaz, son of Gomer, son of Japheth.
The sons of Gomer, populated the areas known today: France, Germany, and around there. Sons of Gomer were known as the 'Francum' as stated in the book of Jasher chapter 10 (the best book when it comes to genealogies and migrations).
Ezekiel doesn't mention Magog participating in the invasion, but the sons of Gomer and others from North Africa. Most of North Africa was French colonies at that time.
The people invaded are peaceful people. They don't even have walls around their dwellings. In today's nation of Israel, there are walls every where, and we can't say that they've been peaceful in their 75 years of existance.
They will not know peace until the return of Christ on the Mount of Olives, and the Day of The Lord, day when all survivors will turn to Christ.
That future prophecy in Zechariah 14, will usher the Kingdom of God on earth. And that is very soon.

Zechariah 14

1 Behold, the day of the Lord is coming, And your spoil will be divided in your midst.
2 For I will gather all the nations to battle against Jerusalem; The city shall be taken, The houses rifled, And the women ravished. Half of the city shall go into captivity, But the remnant of the people shall not be cut off from the city.
3 Then the Lord will go forth And fight against those nations, As He fights in the day of battle.
4 And in that day His feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, Which faces Jerusalem on the east. And the Mount of Olives shall be split in two, From east to west, Making a very large valley; Half of the mountain shall move toward the north And half of it toward the south.

Satan's Wrath

The day of the Lord is coming very soon. We are in the latter days, all curent geopolitical events point to it. The US and the nation of Israel are about to strike Iran. Every military analyst with comon sense know that the retaliation will be devastating, for the naval forces; US bases in the region; and for Israel. then a ground invasion is likely and is prophecied. But the Lord will not let Jerusalem completely fall. His remnant he shall save.
Zechariah 13, the chapter prior, tells that 2/3 in the land shall die.

Zechariah 13

8 And it shall come to pass in all the land,” Says the Lord, “That two-thirds in it shall be cut off and die, But one-third shall be left in it:
9 I will bring the one-third through the fire, Will refine them as silver is refined, And test them as gold is tested. They will call on My name, And I will answer them. I will say, ‘This is My people’; And each one will say, ‘The Lord is my God.’ ”

(following are commentaries about Revelation 20. link below) After the Lords return, and Satan is bound, Christ will reign on earth, King of Kings, Lord of Lords, for 1,000 years.
The Kingdom of God, the world will be unlike anything any men have experienced. There will no more tears, no more famine, the laws of men will be obsolete, wicked rulers will be removed and eradicated, the laws will be God's Law as stated in Exodus, Leviticus, and Deuteronomy.
Will all men be satisfied, happy, and obedient?
Note that aging will have returned as it was prior to the Flood. Righteous men will live hundreds of years.
After 1,000 years, comes God's final test prior to the Day of Judgement. Satan will be released one last time to tempt the nations into a rebellion.
Gog will lead Magog and other nations in the last rebellion that will seperate the sheep from the goats, life eternal and the lake of fire.

Revelation 20

Inspired by Noah and his family. Ancient Chinese knew the story.

Do repetitions in Scriptures mean it is the Same Event?

In the case of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, yes, as they describe the same accounts of the life of Jesus.

Mount of Olives or Mt Olivet, is mentioned in different parts of the Bible.
Is it the same event? NO!
2 Samuel; 1 Kings; Zechariah; and in the New Testament.
And NO they are not the same event.

When Satan is mentioned, is it the same event? NO, of course not.

How many principalities' names are given in the Bible? Satan and Gog. Both are nefarious.
(At the time I was developing this post, another principality escaped my mind. I forgot about Azazel. Depending on your version of the Bible, he is called the scapegoat or simply Azazel.) All right, how did I miss those other two?
Daniel 10:20 Then he said, “Do you know why I have come to you? And now I must return to fight with the prince of Persia; and when I have gone forth, indeed the prince of Greece will come.
If I am not mistaken, the prince of Greece is none other than Satan. Pergamos is in Greece, place "where Satan dwells", at the time when John wrote Revelation 2.  And indeed the Greeks invaded the land (and persecuted the Jews) before the Romans at the time of Jesus' life.

How many times is Gog mentioned? Twice exactly. Is it the same event? NO, it is not.
One is the 'evil plan' against peaceful people, the other is to lead those who despise Christ's rule on earth to take Jerusalem the place of the throne of God. (God's last test for humanity)
Who knows maybe the people will think they can kill God. But for Satan, Gog and the other principalities, it's their last hoorah, knowing they'll all end up in the lake of fire taking with them a multitude of people. Make no mistake some people will hate Christ's rule on earth, and God's Laws.
One occurs after the Millennial Reign of Christ on earth, the other started in 1948.

What is Magog?

1. The name of one of the sons of Japheth;
2. Later, it is the region the descendants of Magog migrated to and settled in.

Wy do people think Gog is a man? He is NOT, the Bible is clear on this.
Deuteronomy 32:8 When the Most High gave to the nations their inheritance, when he divided mankind, he fixed the borders of the peoples according to the number of the sons of God.

Who are the sons of God? There you have to seek a little further: Enoch (200 of them); Jubilees God allowed one tenth of them to remain under Satan's command (20 of them).

Know this, these prophecies haven't been fulfilled yet: Zechariah 13 and 14.
Books didn't have chapters, men made chapters for easy reference.
14 follows 13: The Day of the Lord. It doesn't mention Gog and Magog, but it says "I will gather all the nations to battle against Jerusalem"
And yes he is coming back to the same place he left from. (he said so): the Mount of Olives.

The Francum

Gog and Magog

Ezekiel 38:1 Now the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
2 “Son of man, set your face against Gog, of the land of Magog, the prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal, and prophesy against him,
3 and say, ‘Thus says the Lord God: “Behold, I am against you, O Gog, the prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal.
4 I will turn you around, put hooks into your jaws, and lead you out, with all your army, horses, and horsemen, all splendidly clothed, a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords.
5 Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya are with them, all of them with shield and helmet;
6 Gomer and all its troops; the house of Togarmah from the far north and all its troops—many people are with you.
7 “Prepare yourself and be ready, you and all your companies that are gathered about you; and be a guard for them.
8 After many days you will be visited. In the latter years you will come into the land of those brought back from the sword and gathered from many people on the mountains of Israel, which had long been desolate; they were brought out of the nations, and now all of them dwell safely.
9 You will ascend, coming like a storm, covering the land like a cloud, you and all your troops and many peoples with you.”
10 ‘Thus says the Lord God: “On that day it shall come to pass that thoughts will arise in your mind, and you will make an evil plan:
11 You will say, ‘I will go up against a land of unwalled villages; I will go to a peaceful people, who dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates’—
12 to take plunder and to take booty, to stretch out your hand against the waste places that are again inhabited, and against a people gathered from the nations, who have acquired livestock and goods, who dwell in the midst of the land.

Gog is not only the 'Prince of Magog', but also of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal.
Genesis 10:3 The sons of Gomer were Ashkenaz, Riphath, and Togarmah.
They became the ones known as 'The Francum'.
Gomer was a son of Japheth. The house of Togarmah is of Gomer also. Do you recognise the name: Ashkenaz? The Francum?
I'll give you a hint: Ashkenazi Jews. What about France the land of the Franks, Francum? Yes, There are many Ashkenazi Jews in France.
That's right, they are not Semites (of Shem). Yet, in 1948 they invaded the land that is now called the nation of Israel, and brought in other European settlers. Yes, descendants of Gomer usurped the ethnic Jews. Prior to 1948 and the Nakba, the people living there, had dwellings with no surounding property walls, bars, nor gates, and raised livestock. How many children have been unjustly killed for the past 75 years? How do you think Jesus feels about it?

The 2nd event involving 'Gog and Magog' points to a time in the future after the Millenium Kingdom of Christ on earth.

Revelation 20

Satanic Rebellion Crushed
7 Now when the thousand years have expired, Satan will be released from his prison
8 and will go out to deceive the nations which are in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle, whose number is as the sand of the sea.
9 They went up on the breadth of the earth and surrounded the camp of the saints and the beloved city. And fire came down from God out of heaven and devoured them.

Because of the political use of Scriptures by deceivers, I felt that I had to clarify and remove confusion from God's word.

The ISRAEL Deception — How the Church Tricked the World!

Click on YouTube icon in video to watch on YouTube, for additional references

Excellent secular viewpoint! Is it backed by prophecy, and is there a spiritual element? For one, backtrack 4,300 years ago and Jesus's word. 'You do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but with principalities of the air'. Jubilees 10 tells us that 1/10 of the fallen ones were allowed to remain in the world under the supervision of Satan.
Who is Gog, but a principality that has been unravelling the deception for centuries (a very real influencer of nations).
'Magog, Gomer and his troops'. A little genealogy and ancient migrations are necessary. After Babel, the sons of Noah migrated throughout the earth. Japheth's sons Magog; Gomer; and their sons, migrated to Northern Europe, East and West. One of the sons of Gomer, is Ashkinaz (a prominent group that adopted Judaism, but are not ethnic Jews). Source of migrations book of Jasher chap. 10.
The descendants of Japheth, from Europe to the East and Asia, did observe the same religious traditions than the descendants of Shem. In Asia it was replaced by Buddhism; Taoism; and Confucianism, coincidence, just about when Jesus was born. In European nations, some already had adopted Paganism.

What prophecy wasn't fulfilled in 1948, and hasn't been fulfilled yet, but was used for deception? Isaiah 11 (the regathering).
What prophecy unravelled in 1948? Ezekiel 38 ('The Evil Plan' of Gog), not quite yet over. But what will follow is Zechariah 14. (The Day of the Lord)
What of Revelation 20 you say? Gog and Magog occurs twice. Satan and his accolytes will be bound for a 1,000 years, but they will be released in order to deceive the nations that will dislike Christ's Reign on earth in the near future. Yes, again Gog will entice Magog for a final war once more, before Judgement day.

Book of Jubilees 9

JUBILEES 9

The Earth Divided Into Three Parts For Shem And Ham And Japheth (part 2)

1 And Ham divided amongst his sons, and the first portion came forth for Cush towards the east, and to the west of him for Mizraim, and to the west of him for Put, and to the west of him [and to the west thereof] on the sea for Canaan.
2 And Shem also divided amongst his sons, and the first portion came forth for Ham and his sons, to the east of the river Tigris till it approaches the east, the whole land of India, and on the Red Sea on its coast, and the waters of Dedan, and all the mountains of Mebri and Ela, and all the land of Susan and all that is on the side of Pharnak to the Red Sea and the river Tina.
3 And for Asshur came forth the second Portion, all the land of Asshur and Nineveh and Shinar and to the border of India, and it ascends and skirts the river.
4 And for Arpachshad came forth the third portion, all the land of the region of the Chaldees to the east of the Euphrates, bordering on the Red Sea, and all the waters of the desert close to the tongue of the sea which looks towards Egypt,all the land of Lebanon and Sanir and 'Amana to the border of the Euphrates.
5 And for Aram there came forth the fourth portion, all the land of Mesopotamia between the Tigris and the Euphrates to the north of the Chaldees to the border of the mountains of Asshur and the land of 'Arara.
6 And there came forth for Lud the fifth portion, the mountains of Asshur and all appertaining to them till it reaches the Great Sea, and till it reaches the east of Asshur his brother.
7 And Japheth also divided the land of his inheritance amongst his sons.
8 And the first portion came forth for Gomer to the east from the north side to the river Tina; and in the north there came forth for Magog all the inner portions of the north until it reaches to the sea of Me'at.
9 And for Madai came forth as his portion that he should posses from the west of his two brothers to the islands, and to the coasts of the islands.
10 And for Javan came forth the fourth portion every island and the islands which are towards the border of Lud.
11 And for Tubal there came forth the fifth portion in the midst of the tongue which approaches towards the border of the portion of Lud to the second tongue, to the region beyond the second tongue unto the third tongue.
12 And for Meshech came forth the sixth portion, all the region beyond the third tongue till it approaches the east of Gadir.
13 And for Tiras there came forth the seventh portion, four great islands in the midst of the sea, which reach to the portion of Ham [and the islands of Kamaturi came out by lot for the sons of Arpachshad as his inheritance].
14 And thus the sons of Noah divided unto their sons in the presence of Noah their father, and he bound them all by an oath, imprecating a curse on every one that sought to seize the portion which had not fallen to him by his lot.
15 And they all said, 'So be it; so be it ' for themselves and their sons forever throughout their generations till the day of judgment, on which YAHWEH ALMIGHTY shall judge them with a sword and with fire for all the unclean wickedness of their errors, wherewith they have filled the earth with transgression and uncleanness and fornication and sin.

Jasher, Chapter 10

Year 1996

1 And Peleg the son of Eber died in those days, in the forty-eighth year of the life of Abram son of Terah, and all the days of Peleg were two hundred and thirty-nine years.
2 And when YAHWEH had scattered the sons of men on account of their sin at the tower, behold they spread forth into many divisions, and all the sons of men were dispersed into the four corners of the earth.
3 And all the families became each according to its language, its land, or its city.
4 And the sons of men built many cities according to their families, in all the places where they went, and throughout the earth where YAHWEH had scattered them.
5 And some of them built cities in places from which they were afterward extirpated, and they called these cities after their own names, or the names of their children, or after their particular occurrences.
6 And the sons of Japheth the son of Noah went and built themselves cities in the places where they were scattered, and they called all their cities after their names, and the sons of Japheth were divided upon the face of the earth into many divisions and languages.

This Chapter identifies Seir. Seir appears in the Bible, without giving his origin, or it's origin when speaking of the Land of Seir. Seir is a descendant of Canaan, son of Ham.

Year 1908: Nimrod
23 And Cush the son of Ham, the son of Noah, took a wife in those days in his old age, and she bare a son, and they called his name Nimrod, saying, At that time the sons of men again began to rebel and transgress against YAHWEH, and the child grew up, and his father loved him exceedingly, for he was the son of his old age.
24 And the garments of skin which YAHWEH made for Adam and his wife, when they went out of the garden, were given to Cush.
25 For after the death of Adam and his wife, the garments were given to Enoch, the son of Jared, and when Enoch was taken up to YAHWEH, he gave them to Methuselah, his son.
26 And at the death of Methuselah, Noah took them and brought them to the ark, and they were with him until he went out of the ark.
27 And in their going out, Ham stole those garments from Noah his father, and he took them and hid them from his brothers.
28 And when Ham begat his first born Cush, he gave him the garments in secret, and they were with Cush many days.
29 And Cush also concealed them from his sons and brothers, and when Cush had begotten Nimrod, he gave him those garments through his love for him, and Nimrod grew up, and when he was twenty years old he put on those garments.
30 And Nimrod became strong when he put on the garments, and YAHWEH gave him might and strength, and he was a mighty hunter in the earth, yea, he was a mighty hunter in the field, and he hunted the animals and he built altars, and he offered upon them the animals before YAHWEH.
31 And Nimrod strengthened himself, and he rose up from amongst his brethren, and he fought the battles of his brethren against all their enemies round about.
32 And YAHWEH delivered all the enemies of his brethren in his hands, and YAHWEH prospered him from time to time in his battles, and he reigned upon earth.
33 Therefore it became current in those days, when a man ushered forth those that he had trained up for battle, he would say to them, Like YAHWEH did to Nimrod, who was a mighty hunter in the earth, and who succeeded in the battles that prevailed against his brethren, that he delivered them from the hands of their enemies, so may YAHWEH strengthen us and deliver us this day.
Year 1948
34 And when Nimrod was forty years old, at that time there was a war between his brethren and the children of Japheth, so that they were in the power of their enemies.
35 And Nimrod went forth at that time, and he assembled all the sons of Cush and their families, about four hundred and sixty men, and he hired also from some of his friends and acquaintances about eighty men, and be gave them their hire, and he went with them to battle, and when he was on the road, Nimrod strengthened the hearts of the people that went with him.
36 And he said to them, Do not fear, neither be alarmed, for all our enemies will be delivered into our hands, and you may do with them as you please.
37 And all the men that went were about five hundred, and they fought against their enemies, and they destroyed them, and subdued them, and Nimrod placed standing officers over them in their respective places.
38 And he took some of their children as security, and they were all servants to Nimrod and to his brethren, and Nimrod and all the people that were with him turned homeward.
39 And when Nimrod had joyfully returned from battle, after having conquered his enemies, all his brethren, together with those who knew him before, assembled to make him king over them, and they placed the regal crown upon his head.
40 And he set over his subjects and people, princes, judges, and rulers, as is the custom amongst kings.
41 And he placed Terah the son of Nahor the prince of his host, and he dignified him and elevated him above all his princes.
42 And while he was reigning according to his heart's desire, after having conquered all his enemies around, he advised with his counselors to build a city for his palace, and they did so.
43 And they found a large valley opposite to the east, and they built him a large and extensive city, and Nimrod called the name of the city that he built Shinar, for YAHWEH had vehemently shaken his enemies and destroyed them.
44 And Nimrod dwelt in Shinar, and he reigned securely, and he fought with his enemies and he subdued them, and he prospered in all his battles, and his kingdom became very great.
45 And all nations and tongues heard of his fame, and they gathered themselves to him, and they bowed down to the earth, and they brought him offerings, and he became their lord and king, and they all dwelt with him in the city at Shinar, and Nimrod reigned in the earth over all the sons of Noah, and they were all under his power and counsel.
46 And all the earth was of one tongue and words of union, but Nimrod did not go in the ways of YAHWEH, and he was more wicked than all the men that were before him, from the days of the flood until those days.
47 And he made gods of wood and stone, and he bowed down to them, and he rebelled against YAHWEH, and taught all his subjects and the people of the earth his wicked ways; and Mardon his son was more wicked than his father.
48 And every one that heard of the acts of Mardon the son of Nimrod would say, concerning him, From the wicked goes forth wickedness; therefore it became a proverb in the whole earth, saying, From the wicked goes forth wickedness, and it was current in the words of men from that time to this.
49 And Terah the son of Nahor, prince of Nimrod's host, was in those days very great in the sight of the king and his subjects, and the king and princes loved him, and they elevated him very high.
50 And Terah took a wife and her name was Amthelo the daughter of Cornebo; and the wife of Terah conceived and bare him a son in those days.
Year 1948: Abram
51 Terah was seventy years old when he begat him, and Terah called the name of his son that was born to him Abram, because the king had raised him in those days, and dignified him above all his princes that were with him.
