Alexxx' Question Thread for you Enlightened Minds.

I am reading the old testament and am not sure about some things. I will be asking my questions here. Fee free to answer.

Are Pharisees Muslims?

[OzmO]

phar·i·see (făr'ĭ-sē) pronunciation
n.

   1. Pharisee A member of an ancient Jewish sect that emphasized strict interpretation and observance of the Mosaic law in both its oral and written form.
   2. A hypocritically self-righteous person.

Alexxx,
Muslims are not in the Bible.  Islam started many years after the last book of the Bible was written.

  The Book Of Ezekiel predicts a Russian/Muslim coalition that would try to wage war with Israel in the end times and would fail miserably.

Well, yeah,  If you put it that way.  There is prophecy in the Bible about every empire, religion and important events past, present and future until the end.

The entire bible was set in the middle east. Most of the modern middle east are muslims. So just about every land mentioned in the bible are the ancestors of todays Muslims.

Can you list the exact passages that predict this?

Purge could be talking about Ezekiel Chapters 38 and 39.

[Purge_WTF]

Purge could be talking about Ezekiel Chapters 38 and 39.

  Yes, God revives Israel spiritually with divine intervention in which He slaughters four-fifths of Israel's aggressors with friendly fire and stoning.

[Al-Gebra]

Purge could be talking about Ezekiel Chapters 38 and 39.

and how exactly does one read these chapters? who decided Gog and Magog refer to Russia?

IIRC, the chapter also mentions Ethiopia (literally, unlike the speculation surrounding what Gog and Magog are). . . come on now . . . those poor Ethiopians couldn't fight their way out of a wet paper bag. so let's just say that Gog and Magog are USSR/now Russia to give this prophecy some timeliness.

also, if we're going to read it on a literal level . . . the prophecies very specifically mention that the armies will be equipped with equipment that went out of fashion long ago in most parts of the world. shields, spears, swords . . . .

if you read it on a figurative level, then you really shouldn't expect it to predict literal events. who decides where the figurative language begins and where it ends?

Pat robertson and hal lindsey (yes, i read his book as a child) deserve swift kicks in the hindquarters.
