Hal Lindsey is only one voice and his books are not engraved in stone. Many people believe that 38 might well be in the not distant future. If you don't believe, fine. Just know there are many of us who do and your beliefs aren't engraved in stone either.

All scholars before the crazies in America reinterpreted this through Cold War eyes indicate that this Biblical passage was about events of the era in which it was written.

OriginsThe etymology of Gog/Magog remains uncertain, although it seems likely that one is derived from the other. The ma- at the beginning of Magog may indicate a land or it may mean "from", so that Magog means "of the land of Gog" or "from Gog". "Gog" itself may be the Hebrew version of the name Gyges, a king of Lydia who reigned roughly a century before the time of the prophet Ezekiel and made his kingdom a great power in the region - in Akkadian, the language of Babylon, Gyges was known as "Gugu", and if Ezekiel's Gog is Gugu/Gyges then "Magog" would mean "Land of Gyges".[4]
Alternatively, Gog might derive from Magog. In this case "Magog" might refer to the magi of Cappadocia (modern Turkey) and Media (in modern geography, eastern Turkey and north-western Iran), or it might be a reference to Babylon itself (MGG, Magog in Hebrew, can be turned into BBL, Babil, or Babylon).[5]

Then we have this at the same webpage.
As RussiaAccording to one modern theory of dispensationalist Biblical hermeneutics, Gog and Magog represent Russia. Apocalyptic author Louis Bauman claimed that the word "Caucasian" came from the Arabic term "gog-i-hisn" for the mountains there which means "fortress of Gog".[40] However, this identification is unanimously rejected by even the most conservative of credentialed biblical scholars working in accredited institutions of higher learning.[41] It should be noted that the Scythians, who were identified by Josephus and others as being Magog, lived in what is now Russia and Ukraine. [citation needed]
The legend of Gog and Magog, as well as the land of Rosh, also plays a significant part in the New Chronology of Russian pseudohistorian Anatoly Fomenko.
The webpage has more and interesting information. Eze 38 also talks about other lands that will go against Israel and talks about what God Himself will do to those people. Many lands are in for some major troubles for attacking Israel.
I hope to God that the Arab people now become unified in Egypt, Yemen,Libya etc and force the west to cut their ties withŒ79; that bastardised place they call Israel, and force the Zionists sons of a thousand fathers out of Palestine..Maybe in our life time justice with be done, and the fucking Nazi/Zionist cunt bastards will feel the wrath of God.
Ps I'm Christian and English...just in-case anyone thinks I'm an anti Jew Muslim.
Viva Palestine...and fuck the Zionists ousamadidndoit 32 minutes ago
In the last days, more specifically The Great Tribulation, Israel will stand alone, at least with no other nations supporting them. Jerusalem will be encircled and destroyed. The surviving Israelis will seek protection in the hills of Jordan which is a natural protection for them. That is the time when Christ will return in the Second Coming.
The people who aid the Israelis will be seen in a favorable light by God. What the US will be doing in this time is a question mark. I assume that this nation won't be able to help the Israelis or will be among those nations attacking them. In either case, I think the US is toast.
It did not happen in modern times either since the wars Israel fought were all against Arabs.
That is our point. Eze 38 is yet to be fulfilled. There are instances in which prophecy has a double fulfillment, but I don't know this is one of those instances.

I don't remember the US being mentioned in the Bible. You would have thought those prophets could have foretold the name of the biggest power to ever be seen on earth.

LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What makes you think that the USA even exists when the end times come genius?
What makes you think that in the fullness of time the USA will end up being "the biggest power to ever be seen on earth"?
Did you see it on MSNBC or NPR?
LMAO!!!!!!!!!!

I hate to burst your bubble, but Jews were not the dominant society and religion in the middle east. It took marketing Jesus to the West that gave Judaism a modicum of legitimacy. It's also the only reason, but for the west, that "Israel" exists on a map today.
Narrow is the way that leads to life and wide is the way that leads to hell. Paraphrase there.
The Bible said the Jews would be dispersed throughout the nations. They were.
It also says in the last days they would return to the land. It happened.
You might say because of the UN or something it happened. That isn't the reason. The UN didn't with their war for them, now did they?
If you want to be an atheist. That is your problem, not mine. I sincerely hope you find the truth sometime. Because I do see good in you. At least good for a human being.
But, for you to be so willing to sell this nation down the path of self-destruction so that another nation - 2% of the population of this one - may "survive" because you believe in ghosts is insane, Stone
Sure you do. And not only do you believe in those ghosts but you also believe that they can perform magic. What's worse, is that you believe that these magic performing ghosts will return to Earth and take over for not even the first time but for the last.
You believe in the spontaneous combustion of mud.
What I do believe is that the infantile mindset required to make that statement is one that the person making it should be snug under its wooby and being read a bed time story.
You criticize Christians for believing in only one God. You seem to say that we should be like you say you are, not sure, and believe in all the religions. War, they all say something different, so believing in all of them would be kind of stupid, don't you think?
