[QUOTE="Amerikaur, post: 7287, member: 1050"] I wish I knew for certain about the verse that was being spoken of. The prophet Ezekial (a priest who lived amongst Jewish exiles in Babylon) experienced a monumental vision from God, where the Almighty appointed him as the "watchman of Israel" (Ezekial 3:17) Ezekial 38 predicts of a time when Israel will come under attack, and Israel will win in tremendous fury. An article from a Christian bible mag states that a British scholar fortold (150 years ago) that such a thing will be forthcoming when Israel opens up substantial trade with Tarshish, believed to be India, see page 14 and page 20 on the link below. Of particular note is a photo on page 14, the magazine picked three images to show in the article. One is a photo of the Israeli President and family on a trip to India. The second is a map of how the traders would have found Tarshish. [b]The third is a picture of Sikh infantrymen serving alongside the British in World War I. This picture is stunning.[/b] [url="http://www.biblemagazine.com/magazine/vol-10/v10i3mag.pdf"]http://www.biblemagazine.com/magazine/vol-10/v10i3mag.pdf[/url] As far as how Sikhs were fortold, in Ezekial 38:13 there is a mention of Tarshish and its villiages/peoples in modern phrasings of the Bible. However...going back to the original King James Version...I was quite stunned to see the Old English word that was used to describe the villiages/people of Tarshish. Ezekial 38 [i]1:[/i] And the word of the LORD came unto me [Ezekial], saying, [i]2:[/i] Son of man, set thy face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him, [Literally: "Gog" was/is/will be king of "Magog", a land believed now to be central Turkey. Meshech and Tubal are God's confederates. However - in the book of Ezekial, "Gog" appears to be more of a symbol (of what will befall Israel) rather than an actual person [i]3:[/i] And [Ezekial, you] say, ["]Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal: [i]4:[/i] 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: [i]5:[/i] Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all of them with shield and helmet: [i]6:[/i] Gomer, and all his bands; the house of Togarmah of the north quarters, and all his bands: and many people with thee. [i]7:[/i] Be thou prepared, and prepare for thyself, thou, and all thy company that are assembled unto thee, and be thou a guard unto them. [i]8:[/i] After many days thou [Gog] shalt be visited: in the latter years [far into the future] thou [Gog] shalt come into the land that is brought back from the sword [the nation of Israel], and is gathered out of many people, against the mountains of Israel, which have been always waste: but it is brought forth out [the efforts of people] of [many of the] the nations, and they shall dwell safely all of them. [i]9:[/i] Thou [Gog] shalt ascend and come like a storm, thou shalt be like a cloud to cover the land [of Israel], thou, and all thy bands, and many people with thee. [i]10:[/i] Thus saith the Lord GOD; It shall also come to pass, that at the same time shall things come into thy [Gog's] mind, and thou shalt think an evil thought: [i]11:[/i] And thou [Gog} shalt say, ['] I will go up to the land of unwalled villages; I will go to them that are at rest, that dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates, [i]12:[/i] To take a spoil, and to take a prey; to turn thine [Gog's] hand upon the desolate places that are now inhabited, and upon the people that are gathered out of the nations, which have gotten cattle and goods, that dwell in the midst of the land.['] [i]13:[/i] Sheba, and Dedan [trading posts in Arabia], [b]and the merchants of Tarshish [believed to be India], with all the young lions thereof[/b], shall say unto thee, [']Art thou come to take a spoil? hast thou gathered thy company to take a prey? [What gives you the right to] to carry away silver and gold, to take away cattle and goods, to take a great spoil? ['] Note that the entites mentioned in the beginning of Verse 13 are the ones that are taking a stand against the injustice of Gog. Who are these people standing against injustice? It wouldn't be the Jews. Because...God is revealing this to His "watchman of Israel" that this pludering is all part of His plan. It seems logical to me that the ones standing up to the wrongs of Gog are NOT Jews (or Christians). The Merchants of India with all the young lions, indeed. That's enough to make me wonder...what about you? [/QUOTE]
