Daniel 11:40 – And at the time of the end shall the king of the south push at him: and the king of the north shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall enter into the countries, and shall overflow and pass over.

LAND OF MAGOG – Russia
MESHECH AND TUBAL – Syria and Lebanon
TOGARMAH – Turkey, Anatolia (Asia Minor)
Where is Asia Minor?
Asia Minor, also known as Anatolia, is the peninsula that forms the larger part of Turkey, which lies in Asia proper and is east of the Strait of Bosporus.
GOMER – Asia Minor
Gomer was Japheth’s son, and Togarmah the son of Gomer, and are thought to be they that inhabited Asia Minor.
Anatolia (Turkish: Anadolu, from Greek Anatolē; also Asia Minor, from Greek: Mikrá Asía) is a geographic region of Western Asia, comprising most of the modern Republic of Turkey.
The region is bounded by the Black Sea to the north, the Caucasus to the northeast, the Armenian highland to the east, the Mediterranean Sea to the south and the Aegean Sea to the west.
Ana tolia has been home
to many civilizations throughout history, such as the Hittites, Phrygians, and Lydians, and Achaemenid, Greek, Armenian, Roman, Byzantine, Anatolian Seljuk and Ottoman states.
Geographically, three sides of the peninsula are bordered by seas: the Black Sea to the north, the Aegean Sea to the west, and the Mediterranean Sea to the south.
Anatolia becomes increasingly mountainous as one moves east. The Sea of Marmara forms a connection between Black and Aegean seas through the Bosporus and Dardanelles straits, and separates Anatolia from Thrace on the European mainland.
LIBYA – Phut or Put – Ancient Libya – extending from west of Egypt to modern Morocco
Phut or Put (Hebrew: pûṭ; Septuagint Greek Phoud) is the third son of Ham (one of the sons of Noah), in the biblical Table of Nations (Genesis 10:6; cf. 1 Chronicles 1:8).
Put (or Phut) is associated with Ancient Libya by many early writers. Josephus writes: “Phut also was the founder of Libya, and called the inhabitants Phutites (Phoutes), from himself: there is also a river in the country of Moors which bears that name; whence it is that we may see the greatest part of the Grecian historiographers mention that river and the adjoining country by the appellation of Phut (Phoute): but the name it has now has been by change given it from one of the sons of Mezraim, who was called Lybyos.” (AotJ Book 1:6/2). Pliny the Elder Nat. Hist. 5.1 and Ptolemy Geog.
iv.1.3 both place the river Phuth on the west side of Mauretania (modern Morocco). Ptolemy also mentions
a city Putea in Libya.
ETHIOPIA – Modern Day Sudan
PERSIA – Modern day Iran and a large section of Iraq west of the Euphrates River

Medvedev to Mashaal: Free Schalit

Russian president meets Hamas leader before heading to Turkey.
Russian President Dmitry Medvedev has called on Hamas leader Khaled Mashaal to free captured IDF soldier Gilad Shalit, Kremlin spokeswomen Natalia Timakova said, according to the RIA Novosti news agency.
The two met in Damascus on Tuesday evening after Russia’s president had held talks with his Syrian counterpart, Bashar Assad, and added Moscow’s weight to a diplomatic push to ease antagonism between Israel and Syria.
During the meeting with Assad, Medvedev warned that Israeli-Arab tensions threaten to draw the Middle East into a new catastrophe.
The two presidents, meeting in Damascus, also affirmed Iran’s right to develop a peaceful nuclear energy program, as world powers press for new economic sanctions to try to stop what they say is really a drive for an atomic weapons capability.
Following his meeting with Mashaal, Medvedev headed to Turkey to oversee the signing of several cooperation agreements, including energy and the lifting of entry visas.
Medvedev was set to meet Turkish President Abdullah Gul at a banquet Tuesday. His official talks are on Wednesday.
Russia is Turkey’s second largest trading partner and ties are flourishing.

Medvedev sees Hamas leader in Damascus, an affront to US and Israel
DEBKAfile Exclusive Report
May 11, 2010, 9:29 PM (GMT+02:00)
Before Israel’s president Shimon Peres had time to unpack his bags from his Moscow visit, Russian President Dmitry Medvedev was closeted with the Palestinian terrorist leader, Hamas’ Khaled Meshaal in Damascus, Tuesday, May 11. Present too were Syrian president Bashar Assad and leaders of the extremist Palestinian organization in Syria and Lebanon.
In Jerusalem, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, apparently unaware of the Russian president’s plan to meet the heads of Israel’s arch-foe Hamas, referred earlier to Medvedev’s comment that Moscow seeks a role in Middle East peacemak
ing by welcoming any constructive contribution to the effort. He also accused Tehran of warmongering between Syria and Israel.
Monday, the day the Russian leader arrived in Damascus, DEBKAfile’s sources predicted his visit would be the occasion for a weapons deal which might even be a secret back door for Iran to acquire the sop
histicated weapons Moscow has denied to date.
It was also an opportunity for Moscow to dramatize its polar differences on Iran with Washington by gestures of support for the extremist Tehran-Damascus-Hizballah-Hamas alignment in the Middle East at the expense of the pro-Western moderate bloc led by Egypt and Saudi Arabia. Last week, Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak brusquely refused to receive Assad for a get-well visit to Sharm el-Sheikh.
Both Washington and Jerusalem were unpleasantly surprised by Moscow’s willingness to provide Bashar Assad with a public shot in the arm just a week after the Obama administration renewed US sanctions against Syria, citing its support for terrorist groups and pursuit of weapons of mass destruction as an “extraordinary threat” to American national security. Syria is widely shunned in the Middle East itself.
In Jerusalem, Israeli government leaders were too busy with the reopening of indirect talks with the Palestinians to gear up in time to seriously forestall the damage to Israel’s interests predicted from expected Russian-Syrian deals and Moscow’s shifting orientation toward the radical Middle East bloc. Medvedev’s surprise meeting with the Hamas leadership Monday was perceived as yet another slap in the face to both Washington and Jerusalem.
President Peres, hurried dispatched to Moscow for Sunday’s events marking the 65th anniversary of the allied victory against the Nazis, found Kremlin leaders deaf when he maintained that Iran and Syria were a danger to Middle East as promoters of terrorist activity. He commented wryly that Syria’s Assad must be the only ruler in the world to treat missiles for Hizballah as a vehicle for peace.
