GERMAN CHANCELLOR Angela Merkel served as Secretary of the Agitation and Propaganda Department of the Young Communists at Marx-Lenin University in East Berlin after growing up and prospering in East Germany under Soviet education and indoctrination … and Russia’s Vladimir Putin was once the powerful KGB Commander of East German operations (while he lived there) and he still speaks fluent German.
The question is who actually won the Cold-War?
For at least four decades the global Marxist-Socialist slogan has been “USE Democracy to DESTROY Democracy.” Gorbachev tore down the Berlin Wall … then a generation of Russian-Marxist educated (indoctrinated) East Germans flooded the West German voter rolls. Pro-US German parties and politicians were quickly defeated, and Germany (our once strong ally) swiftly turned toward Russia and away from the U.S. on all major global issues.
Encyclopedias will tell you Germany’s ancient (and Biblical) name was “Gomer.”
IN BIBLE PROPHECY we find “Gomer” listed as one of the nations who will join the Russia-Iran led attack and invasion against Israel in Ezekiel 38.
The ancient Roman-Jewish historian Josephus tells us Gomer was where those people the Romans and Jews called “Galatians” originally came from.
From history we find an army from ancient Gomer left their homeland around Germany and France (Gomer/Gaul), and after some conquests (and then defeats) they were brought over to the highlands of central Anatolia (now part of modern day Turkey) as mercenaries around 300 BC (which is about 280 years after Ezekiel’s prophecy was written). There, the Gomerites formed their own colony in an area the Jews and Romans called Galatia (which means “Gaul of the East”) in what is now part of modern day Turkey, where they lived (and thrived) until the days of the Apostle Paul.
Even Wikipedia notes that Josephus placed Gomer and the “Gomerites” in Anatolian Galatia: “For Gomer founded those whom the Greeks now call Galatians, but were then called Gomerites.” (Antiquities of the Jews 1:6).
The Apostle Paul wrote his letter to the Galatians around 55 AD.
In the Bible we find Gomer is also mentioned in the Book of Hosea as name of the prophet Hosea’s wife. In Hosea 1:2 she is variously described as a “promiscuous woman” (NIV), a “harlot” (NASB), and a “whore” (KJV), but Hosea is told to marry her according to God’s prophetic instruction and design.
