Javan
(1.) The fourth "son" of Japheth (Gen 10:2), whose descendants
settled in Greece, Ionia, which bears the name of Javan in Hebrew.
Alexander the Great is called the "king of Javan" (rendered
"Grecia," Dan 8:21; 10:20; comp. 11:2; Zech 9:13). This word was universally
used by the nations of the East as the generic name of the Greek race.
(2.) A town or district of Arabia Felix, from which the Syrians
obtained iron, cassia, and calamus (Ezek 27:19).
Genesis 7:13 In the selfsame day entered Noah, and Shem, and Ham, and Japheth,
the sons of Noah, and Noah's wife, and the three wives of his sons with them,
into the ark;
Genesis 10:1 Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah,
Shem, Ham, and Japheth: and unto them were sons born after the flood.
2 The sons of Japheth; Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan,
and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras.
Genesis 10:21 Unto Shem also, the father of all the children of Eber, the
brother of Japheth the elder, even to him were children born.
Psalms 120:5 Woe is me, that I sojourn in Mesech, that I dwell
in the tents of Kedar!
Ezekiel 27:13 Javan, Tubal, and Meshech, they were thy merchants:
they traded the persons of men and vessels of brass in thy market.
14 They of the house of Togarmah traded in thy fairs with horses and horsemen
and mules.
15 The men of Dedan were thy merchants; many isles were the merchandise of thine
hand: they brought thee for a present horns of ivory and ebony.
16 Syria was thy merchant by reason of the multitude of the wares of thy making:
they occupied in thy fairs with emeralds, purple, and broidered work, and fine
linen, and coral, and agate.
Ezekiel 38:1 And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
2 Son of man, set thy face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince of
Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him,
-
The chief prince = the head, or leader of Rosh = Russia
-
Meshech = Russia
-
The prophecies of Ezekiel 38 and Ezekiel 39 are still future, this
is clear from Ezekiel 38:8-16 and Ezekiel 39:9-26.
-
As Israel will have then already been "gathered", and complete
restoration enjoyed immediately following the destruction of Gog.
-
It must therefore precede the Millennium: and on that account must
be distinguished from Revelation 20:8-10, and may therefore perhaps
be identified with Revelation 16:14, Revelation 17:14, Revelation
19:17-21, Matthew 24:14-30 and Zech 12:1-4.
-
It marks the time of Satan's effort to destroy Israel from being a
People, and clearly belongs to the close of yet future kingdom
age.
-
Numbers 24:7 He shall pour the water out of his buckets, and his
seed shall be in many waters, and his king shall be higher than Agag,
and his kingdom shall be exalted.

-
Ezekiel 38:2 Son of man, set thy face against Gog,
the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and
prophesy against him,
-
Meshech = Russia

Northern
army , they
will come against us.
-
USA

-
This has
nothing to do with Christians people of Russia
-
Locusts

armies of Revelation 9 and Daniel 11 come from the North. Satan's
army the Kenites.
- Ezekiel
39:11 And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will give unto
Gog a place there of graves in Israel, the valley of the passengers
on the east of the sea: and it shall stop the noses of the
passengers: and there shall they bury Gog and all his multitude: and
they shall call it The valley of Hamon-gog.
- Tubal = OT:8423 offspring of Cain; Tubal-Kajin, an
antidiluvian patriarch:
3 And say, Thus saith the Lord God; Behold I am against thee, O Gog, the
chief prince of Meshech and Tubal:
4 And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws, and I will bring thee
forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all
sorts of armour, even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them
handling swords:
5 Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all of them with shield and helmet:
6 Gomer, and all his bands; the house of Togarmah of the north quarters, and all
his bands: and many people with thee.
7 Be thou prepared, and prepare for thyself, thou, and all thy company that are
assembled unto thee, and be thou a guard unto them.
8 After many days thou shalt be visited: in the latter years thou shalt come
into the land that is brought back from the sword, and is gathered out of many
people, against the mountains of Israel, which have been always waste: but it is
brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell safely all of them.
9 Thou shalt ascend and come like a storm, thou shalt be like a cloud to cover
the land, thou, and all thy bands, and many people with thee.
Chittim or Kittim, a plural form (Gen 10:4), the name of a
branch of the descendants of Javan, the "son" of Japheth.
Balaam foretold (Num 24:24) "that ships shall come from the coast of Chittim,
and afflict Eber." Daniel prophesied (11:30) that the ships of Chittim would
come against the king of the north. It probably denotes Cyprus,
whose ancient capital was called Kition by the Greeks.
The references elsewhere made to Chittim (Isa 23:1,12; Jer 2:10; Ezek 27:6) are
to be explained on the ground that while the name originally designated the
Phoenicians only, it came latterly to be used of all the islands and various
settlements on the sea-coasts which they had occupied, and then of the people
who succeeded them when the Phoenician power decayed. Hence it designates
generally the islands and coasts of the Mediterranean and the races that inhabit
them.
• Exactly 2520 years from the exile
of Benjamin, Iceland became an independent nation.
•
The first tribe to be
conquered by the Assyrians was Manasseh,
in 745 B.C. Exactly 2520 years later America became a nation on July 4, 1776.
(Leviticus. 26: 28-46) God warned Israel that if they persisted in continually
breaking His Laws, not only would curses come upon them.
He would punish them for seven times, (a time being 360 years, seven times would
be 2520 years) and would banish them from the land of Palestine and scatter them
among the heathens (like lost sheep)
