Page 12 The PLAIN TRUTH July, 1957 THE RACE QUESTION (Continzced from page 8) tain. Some of these Iron Curtain coun- tries will stay behind the Iron Curtaifz and ultimately attack the coming United States of Europe-modern “Babylon” (Isaiah 21:2). Now let us discover who the Russians are. Russia In Prophecy Russia is mentioned almost by name in some versions of the Bible! Turn to Ezekiel 38:2. Here you will find that a certain power called “Gog” is “the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal.” The proper translation is “the prince of Rosh, Meshech and Tubal!” In Hebrew, the word for chief is “Rosh.” That is a so the ancient name for “Russia.” Over half of all Russia is occupied by a people called “Great Russians” today. The Great Russians are divided into two distinctive people who have remained constantly together since the beginning of history. We shall now prove from history that the Great Russians are the descendants of Meshech and Tuba1 (Gen. 10:2). Here is what the Encyclopaedia Bri- tannica says about the Great Russians: “Notwithstanding the unity of language, it is easy to detect among the Great Russians themselves two separate branches differing from one another by slight divergencies of language and type and DEEP DIVERSITIES OF NATIONAL CHARACTER . . . (article “Russia”). One branch settled around Moscow. The word Moscow is but an English spelling of the Russian “Moskva,” a word almost identical to the one used by the Assyrians to refer to the people of Meshech! The other branch consti- tutes the people of Tubal. This branch of the Great Russians founded the city of Tobolsk in Siberia and named the Tobol River. Professor Sayce says of these people: “In the Assyrian inscriptions the names appear as Tubld and Musk;, and they were known to classical geographers [Greeksf as Tiberani and Moskhi.” He continues by saying that, after the days of Nebuchadnezzar, the Greeks found Meshech and Tubal “farther to the north than they had been in the age of the Assyrian monuments . . . they were fnrced to retreat nnrrhwarrl rnwarrls the Black Sea, and it was in this region of Asia Minor that Xenophon and his Greek troups found their scanty re- mai,ns” (Races of the Old Testament, p. 48). Meshech and Tubal migrated into Russia! Surely there is no mistaking who Meshech and Tubal are today. Russia is north of Palestine. Ezekiel 38:2 points out that they come from the north-where Russia is today! But here is even more proof that it is Russia mentioned in Ezekiel 38:2. Do you know where the word “Siberia” rnmcs from, In Asia Minor, where the people of Tubal first settled, a vast tract of land was called Sabaria, sometimes spelled less correctly “Subartu.” This word has puzzled historians no end! Here is the original of “Siberia!” The same word was used to refer to a part of ancient Elam, and today we have the Serbians in Yugoslavia - part of the land of Elam today! (Ency. Brit., art., “Mesopo- tamia.’’ )
July, 1957 Zhe PLAIN TRUTH Page 13 Origin of Word “Russia” What is the origin of the word “RLISsian”-the “Rosh” of F~‘PJ(IPI 38 3 (when properly translated ) ? The lnternatzonal Standard Bzble Enryrlopaedra gives the answer Here, under the article “Rosh,” we find that a vast area of the Mesopotamian Valley was called “the land of R%hu!’’ The word “Russ” or “Rosh” means blonde. And in ancient Mesopotamia lived the bloe le children of Ketutah and Abra- ham mentioned in Genesis 25: 1-6. They faiinded the Kingdom of Mitanni, named after Midian and Medan. In modern times the name “RL~ss” was first applied to Russia because of the blond people of White Russia who live next to the people of Meshech and Tubal. (See Ency. Brit., art. “Russia.” ) These blonds are quite dzfferent from the Great Russians. The White Russians are related to the Asshurim of North Ger- many and to the Letushim and other Abrahamic tribes along the Baltic. They are the main body of the people of Me- dan and Midian who proceeded north into Russia centuries ago! Herodotus mentions that the “Matienians” from the land of Rosh were associated with the people of Meshech and Tubal! (Thalin, 94.) And Pliny, the Roman natural his- Here is the world today, giving the locations where the various human families have settled in this 20th cen- tury.
