But when they interpret Ezekiel 38 and list the nations that NO LONGER EXIST, they say the same regions of people are considered. But a CHANGE OF REFERENCE OF A NATION'S NAME is intolerable in their doctrine when it comes to Israel.

Ezekiel 38:3-6 KJV 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.

No such peoples as Togarmah, Meshech, Tubal, Persia and Gomer exist any more.

I am no dispensationalist. However God will indeed keep the promises He made to the nation of Israel.
