The second book of the prophet Esdras (the son of Saraias, the son of Azarias the son of Neichia, the son of Sallum, the son of Sadoc, the son of Achitou, the son of *Amerias, the son of Azarias, the son of Maraioth, the son of Sahias, the son of Uzi, the son of Boccus, the son of Abisu, the son of Phineas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron, of the tribe of Levi) which was prisoner in the land of the Meedes, in the reign of Artaxerses king of Persia. *Amerias: note. RN
And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying : go your way, and show my people their sinful deeds, and their children their wickednesses, which they have done against me, that they may tell their childerns children the same: for the sins of their fathers are increased in them. And why they have forgotten me, and have offered unto strange gods. Am not I even he, that brought them out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage: But they have provoked me unto wrath, and despised my counsels. Pull you out then the heart of your head, and call all evil over them, for they have not been obedient to my law.
This is a people with out learning and nurture. How long shall I forebear them, unto whom I have done so much good: Many kings have I destroyed for their sakes: Pharo with his servants and all his power have I smitten down and slayen: All the nations have I destroyed and rooted out before them, and in the East I brought two lands and people to nought, even Tyre and Sidon, and have slayen all their enemies. Speak you therefore unto them, saying: Thus says the Lord: I lead you through the sea, and have given you sure streets since the beginning. I gave you Moses to be your captain, and Arron to be the priest: I gave you light in a pillar of fire, and great wonders have I done among you: yet have you forgotten me, says the Lord.
Thus says the almighty Lord: I gave you quails to eat, and tents for your succor: Nevertheless you murmured, and ascribed not the victory of your enemies unto my name: yes this same day do you murmur. Where are the benefits, that I have done for you: when you were hungry in the wilderness, did you not cry unto me: Why have you brought us unto this wilderness, to kill us: It had been better for us, to have served the Egyptians, then to die in this wilderness. Then had I pity upon your mournings, and gave you manna to eat. you are angels food. When you were thirsty, did not I hew the hard stone, and cause water to flow thereout? For the heat I covered you with the leaves of the trees. And good pleasant fat land gave I you: I cast out the Canaanites, the Pheresites, and the Philistines before you. What shall I do more for you, says the Lord?
Thus says the almighty Lord: When you were in the wilderness, in the water of the Amorites, being a thirst, and blaspheming my name, I gave you not fire for your blasphemes, but cast a tree into the water, and made the river sweet. What shall I do unto you, O' Jacob? You Juda would not obey me: I will turn me to another people, and unto those I will give my name, that they may keep my statutes. Seeing you have forsaken me, I will forsake you also. When you desire me to be gracious unto you, I shall have not mercy upon you. When you call upon me, I will not hear you. For you have defiled your hands with blood, and your feet are swift to commit manslaughter. you have not forsaken me (in a manner) but your own selves, says the Lord.
Thus says the almighty Lord: have I not prayed you, as a father his sons, as a mother her daughters, and as a nurse her young babes, that you would be my people, and I should be your God: that you would be my children, and I should be your own father: I gathered you together, as an hen gathers her chickens under her wings. But now what shall I do unto you? I shall cast you out from my face: When you offer unto me, I shall turn my face from you: for your solemn feast days, your new moons, and your circumcisions have I forsaken. I sent unto you my servants the Prophets, whom you have taken and slayen, and torn their bodies in pieces, whose blood I will require of your hands, says the Lord.
Thus says the almighty Lord: your house must be desolate. I will cast you out as the wind does the straw: your children shall not be fruitful, for they have despised my commandment, and done the thing that is evil before me. Your houses will I give unto a people that shall come, and they that never heard me shall believe in me: and they unto whom I never showed token, shall do the thing that I command them. They have seen no Prophets, yet shall they call their sin to remembrance, and knowledge them. I report me unto the grace, that I will do for that people which is to come, whose childern rejoice in gladness: and though they have not seen me with bodily eyes, yet in spirit they believe: the things that I say. And now brother, behold what great worship, and see the people that comes from the East, unto whom I will give the dukedom of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, of Dseas, Amos, and Micheas, of Joel, Abdy, Jonas, Naum, and Abacuc, of Sophony, Aggeus, Zachary, and Malachi; which is called also an angel (or messenger) of the Lord.
Dseas =Hosea, Micheas =Micah, Abdy =Obadiah, Jonas = Jonah, Naum =Nahum, Abacuc =Habakkuk, Sophony = Zephanaih, Aggeus = Haggai, Zachary =Zechariah
Even so it very plain and simple that this Last Eagle...whose wings cover the earth is america ...able and none other stand against her ...able to strike within hours ...by "wings" ...anywhere in the earth ...and what nation is left that might oppose her ?? ...least the whole earth go to destruction ...? mmmm
And it is this very war ...this very thing ....thing mentioned in the book of Revelation ...of Jesus Christ himself ...Chapter 20 ...of Gog and Magog...
And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison, and shall go out to deceive the people which are in the four quarters of the earth Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle, whose number is as the sand of the sea: and they went up on the plain of the earth, and compassed the tents of the saints about, and the beloved city. And fire came down from God, out of heaven, and devoured them: and the devil that deceived them, was cast into a lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet were and shall be tormented day and night for ever more.
There is no other nation on the earth that claims "heritage of this Gog and Magog" ...plainly:
Look see ....by their own lips ...Gog and Magog
Towards the head of the Procession you will see two enormous but benevolent giants. They are Gog and Magog, the traditional guardians of the City of London who have been carried in the Lord Mayor's Show since the reign of Henry V. They are descended from the pagan giants of early English pageantry and their history is buried in the mysterious world of myth and legend.
The story goes that Diocletian - the Roman Emperor - had thirty-three wicked daughters, for whom he found thirty-three husbands in order to curb their wilful and unruly ways. The daughters were not happy about this, and plotted under the leadership of their eldest sister Alba, and slit the throats of their husbands as they slept. For this appalling crime they were set adrift in a boat with half a years rations, and after a long and dreadful journey they arrived at some islands which came to be named Albion after the eldest of the sisters. Here they stayed and co-habited with demons, and produced a race of evil giants. And so it is we come to hear of a group of wild wind-swept islands inhabited by giants.
Many early peoples regarded the original inhabitants of their territory as giants, and the memory of these early races was preserved in mythology. Heros became giants in the popular mind. They were often large and powerful men, and their physical strength and stature became exaggerated as their deeds passed into saga. In this way the human tendency to regard the past as a lost golden age allowed the idea of a race of giants to develop. These pagan giants were not ugly or deformed, they were simply giant men.
The story continues: Brutus the great-grandson of Æneas, fled from Troy and after a series of adventures arrived in these islands, which he renamed after himself; Britain. With him he brought his most able warrior and champion Corineus, who fought the leader of the "Giant brood" in single combat, and eventually slew him by hurling him from a high rock into the sea. The name of the giant was Gogmagog and the rock from which he was thrown became known as Langoënagog or "The Giants Leap". As a reward Corineus was given the western part of the island which became named after him; Cornwall. Brutus however travelled to the east, where he built a city which he called Troya Nova, or New Troy, which eventually came to be known as London.
At one time human sacrifice was common, but as times grew more civilized, images of men were burned instead of the men themselves. ( wonders if it is the SAME spirit that burned Tyndale ..."church of englands "saints" Gog and Magog) Finally the figures received the name of the divinity in whose honour the feast was held; and in time these became saints' images. (assuming the "church" of england Gog and Magog "authorized this too like their bible ...)The custom of carrying effigies at various festivals became widespread, not only in England but on the continent. These giants of pageantry that you will see today are the last vestiges of the pagan effigies. Our giants have no trace of the supernatural about them, they originated in folk custom, deriving their names from historical or pseudo-historical characters like Gogmagog, from Biblical history like Samson, or from classical mythology like Hercules. They are a part of a tradition in English pageantry which pre-dates Christianity.
Another version of the story has it that these two giants were the last two survivors of the sons of the thirty-three infamous daughters of Diocletian, who were captured and kept chained to the gates of a palace on the site of Guildhall to act as guardians. Whichever way, they got there, we know that by the reign of Henry V, there were giants residing in Guildhall. And when in 1554, they appeared in the Lord Mayor's Show, the names Gogmagog and Corineus were attached to the London giants for the first time. The giant of folk-custom made an admirable champion and it was natural to develop a champion into a local hero.
In 1605 the Pageantmaster of the day alluded to the giants who appeared in the Procession on Lord Mayor's Day as Corineus and Gogmagog. And later in 1672, the Pageantmaster Thomas Jordan referred to them as "two exceeding rarities", and stated that "at the conclusion of the Show, they are to be set up in Guildhall, where they may be daily seen all year and I hope never to be demolished by such dismal violence as happened to their predecessors." He was referring to the destruction of much of the City by the great fire in 1666. His giants however only lasted a few years being made of wickerwork and pasteboard, in common with their sacrificial forebears, and were eventually destroyed by mice and rats.
They were replaced in 1708 by a magnificent pair of wooden statues carved by Captain Richard Saunders. These giants on whom the versions you will see today are based, lasted for over two hundred years before destruction in the blitz. They, in turn, were replaced by the pair which can now be seen in Guildhall, and which were carved by David Evans in 1953 as a gift to the City by Alderman Sir George Wilkinson who had been Lord Mayor in 1940, at the time of the destruction of the previous versions.
Gog and Magog symbolize one of many links between the modern business institutions of the City and its ancient history. This is but the most recent of their various re-births, which have long been symbolised by the phœnix on Magog's shield, representing return after fire. Today, the words of Thomas Boreman in his "Gigantick History" of 1741 are as appropriate as ever. He declared that "Corineus and Gogmagog were two brave giants who richly valued their honour and exerted their whole strength and force in the defence of their liberty and country; so the City of London, by placing these, their representatives in their Guildhall, emblematically declare, that they will, like mighty giants defend the honour of their country and liberties of this their City; which excels all others, as much as those huge giants exceed in stature the common bulk of mankind."

Nevertheless ...what was Prophesy of God through Esdras is true and remember the first line of the book of Revelation...
The revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, for to show unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass.
