Prophecy Against Gog
Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all of them with shield and helmet: Eze. 38:5
Persia, Ethiopia, and... Persia and modern Iran are the same. Ethiopia is another hostile country to Christianity. Ethiopia is an African country located south of Egypt. Libya is in North Africa and joins Egypt on the west side. All of these countries are opposed to Christianity. Notice, they are prepared for war. They seem to come from every direction; north, south, east, and west.
On whether the horses and weapons are literal, see Eze. 39:9. God will use Gog and all his allies as pawns in His larger plans for Israel. Yet the idea for attacking Israel also will originate with Gog. Gog will act freely to accomplish his own evil goals. He “will devise an evil scheme,” Eze. 38:10.
