70. Gog and Magog are a people who surpass all others in their ability to put fire to various uses and are indeed pioneers in this field. Their very names (Note: in Arabic Yajooj and Majooj are derived from the word ajeej which means fire) indicate that all their inventions, be they ships, trains or other machines, were to be fuelled with fire. And they would fight their battles with firearms. They would excel all other nations on the earth in pressing fire into their service. This is why they are called Yajooj and Majooj. Obviously, therefore, they are the European nations who in the science of utilizing fire are so skilful, adept and outstanding that it needs not be elaborated upon. They are the same Europeans who have been referred to as Gog and Magog in the old scriptures given to the Israelite prophets. Moscow is even mentioned therein by name, which was the capital of ancient Russia. It was destined that the Promised Messiah would appear in the age of Gog and Magog.
