migrated east.
Between 650-500 BC, the Cimmerians in Europe moved up the Danube
and became known as Celts, eventually migrating to France than
England. Between 250-100 BC, when southern Russia was invaded by
the Sarmatians from the east, the Scythians (Isaac is believed to be the
foundation for this name) were driven northwest through Poland into
Germany. After 450 AD, the Romans called the Scythians ‘Germans,’
meaning ‘genuine,’ to distinguish them from the Sarmatians in Scythia.
So, Gomer’s desecendants (known to the Assyrians as ‘Gimirrai’ or
‘Cimmerians’) settled in central Asia Minor, north of the Black Sea, in
southern Russia, then moved west along the Danube River, to the area
now known as Germany. He was the father of Eastern Europe. Old
world maps identify this area as Gomer, Gomerlunt, Gomeria. Their
descendants include the Galatians, Phrygians, Gauls, Celts (Greek
“Keltoi”), Germans, French, Welsh, Irish, Britons, and other Anglo-
Saxon (means ‘Isaac’s son’) peoples. In addition, Togarmah (known to
the Assyrians as ‘Tilgarimmu’), a son of Gomer, is singled out. His
descendants occupied Turkey and Asia Minor, and another branch
settled in Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania, which were later taken over by
the Soviet Union. They were granted independence in September,
1991.
Togarmah’s ‘bands’ could also refer to Armenia and Syia, whose
ancestors claimed that Haik, the father of their race, was the son of
Togarmah. The descendants of another son of Gomer, Ashkenaz,
settled in Germany and Austria.
In Ezekiel 38:13, “Sheba, Dedan, and the merchants of Tarshish, with
all the young lions thereof,” seem to be questioning the motives of the
Soviet Union, perhaps because they seem far removed from what
appears to be a regional conflict. It is not clear whether they involve
themselves in the military action.
Sheba (also Saba), was an ancient kingdom in the area of the
southwestern edge of Saudi Arabia which became known as the
British colony of Aden, until achieving independence as South Yemen
(who united with North Yemen in 1990). This was the traditional
kingdom of the Queen of Sheba who ruled over the Sabaeans (who
