If I want to put up a picture using HTML I have to use an alt image tag. In the image tag I can put a descriptor. Let say this descriptor's name is Gog, now what happens if I change the picture but leave the same descriptor. That's how I believe these prophecies work. Gog is in each generation (we know where Magog is because it is described as a Land and we have narrow it down to Iran/Afghanistan/Pakistan --see Hashem1.net). The spiritual essence is there for a Gog in each generation, but the outside garment is different. Yechezkel is a code and the code is always true. As far as Gemora is concerned, we know that Gemeora is worded in terms they were used to that is for all the halachic issues and the aggadic works as well.Rosalie and Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14109719974201278022noreply@blogger.com
