The Aggression of Gog and Magog
1894 They said, "O Two Eras, Gog and Magog are destroyers of the land, and so shall we make a tribute for you that you will make between us and them a barrier?"*
1895 He said, "What my Lord has given me is far better. So help me with strength and I will make between you and them a barrier."
1896 "Bring me iron ore." Until he leveled between the two walls, he said, "Blow," until he made it a furnace, he said, "Bring me tar so I can pour it over."
1897 So they could not come over it, and they could not make a hole in it. 212
1898 He said, "This is a mercy from my Lord. But when the promise of my Lord comes, He will make it rubble. The promise of my Lord is truth."
1899 We left them till that day to surge like waves on one another. The horn was blown so We gathered them together.

dhul qarnayn, or "the man of the two eras," is the man who transitioned the times from the Bronze Age to the Iron Age

and
Barrier referred to in 1895 means iron weapons and armor

and
to put iron between the two walls(but i think actual meaning is highest place, read below), and blow it, and pour tar in 1896. it's reminiscent of the process of making steel in a steel mill
The main component of tar is carbon(Steel is made by adding carbon to molten iron), and wind to blow is reminiscent of Bellows,
And in 1896, so-called 'two mountain', the root of the word الصَّدَفَيْنِ translated as "two mountains" is ص د ف,
https//en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%D8%B5%D8%AF%D9%81
According to Wikipedia, the noun-type meaning of ص د ف means 'the highest place' in addition to the meaning of mountains
It's reminiscent of putting iron ore at the top of an iron-making furnace

And gogs and magogs seem to mean cavalry looters, because when the time mankind started farming, there are two armies that the army of looters who had superior mobility through cavalry and chariot, and for the farmers against the army of these cavalry looters who barely had weapons bronze spears and shields and bows, which were very expensive and rare in raw materials.
And so in beginning of ancient India, Egypt, Mesopotamia, China and all other farming lands, the ruling class was always the cavalry looters, but when civilizations entered the Iron Age, even ordinary farmers were able to have a high-quality arm by cheap price of iron weapons and armors, so that farmers could have an upper hand against the looters, and countries representing the position of the peasants emerged.

For example, the first three dynasties in ancient China were all founded by cavalry looters who came down from the northern lands, and after the Iron Age, the dynasties started to form around the agricultural people.

And at 1898, dhul qarnayn said that what he made would be useless, and at 1899, gog and magog would collide with each other

I think it means that when advanced weapons such as gunpowder and lasers develop, even metal-based weapons become useless, and when the army of looters based on superior mobility becomes completely useless, they cannot loot innocent people who only defend themselves, they attack each other.

in entire human history, countries that doing unjust wars are always based on "mobility, hit and run, shooting at long distances" by cavalry, chariot, tanks, long-range guided missiles, etc.
and the ongoing war of Russia and Israel, and George Bush's invasion of Iraq, and the Nazi Germany's World War II, etc....
all of Their tactic have common things that ancient Greeks called the "Parthian Shot" has continued into modern times.

Throughout history, it was actully impossible for the army of a country in an unjust war to consist mainly of infantry.
In a country composed of people who are cowardly enough to allow their country to wage evil wars, that cowardly people do not go directly to the battlefield, and they always arms a small number of brave human trashs by cavalry, chariots, tanks. and waging war

We've seen in the last three years that Russia and Israel can't advance even 1m without charging hundreds of tanks and fighter jets, and we've seen the same thing when the U.S. invaded Iraq and Hitler started the World War.
and these three empires are always troubling by deficiency of infantry. even in george bush's invasion of iraq, us army barely have 10,000 battle-affordable infantries
The both evil conquests of Genghis Khan's mongol and the Umayyad's were exactly the same. and hunnic empire and magyars too

first of all, for native englisth speakers, i don't have such good skill in english language. i'm born and lived in south korea and never learned english seriously. If I can't fully convey what I want to say, I declare in advance that it's purely my fault.

3105 Do not be like those who separated and differed after the proof had come to them. For them is a painful retribution.*

3106 The day on which faces will be brightened and faces will be darkened; as for those whose faces will be darkened "Did you reject after acknowledging? Taste the retribution for what you rejected."

3107 As for those whose faces are brightened, they are in God's mercy, in it they abide eternally.

3108 These are God's signs; We recite them to you with truth. God does not want wickedness for the worlds.

3109 To God is all that is in the heavens and in the earth; and to God the events will be returned.

3110 You became the best nation that emerged for the people; you order recognized norms, deter from evil, and trust/acknowledge God. If the people of the book acknowledged, it would have been better for them; from amongst them are acknowledgers, but most remain wicked.*
-from edip yuksel's translation

there' word proof at 3105 and god's sign in 3108
(i don't know exactly difference between proofبَيِّنَٰتُ and sign ءَايَٰتُ, but, i guess that proof بَيِّنَٰتُ is tangible evidence, and sign ءَايَٰتُ is linguistic evidence)

however. i reversed the surah/verse number and found unbelievable thing!

1051 Have you not noticed what your Lord did to the people of the elephant?
1052 Did He not cause their schemes to go astray?
1053 He sent upon them swarms of flying creatures.
1054 Striking them with fiery projectiles.
1055 Until He turned them like devoured hay He sent upon them swarms of flying creatures

swarms of flying creatures... everyone may remember ukrainian drones destroyed thousands of russian invader's vehicles since 2 years before...

and may clever reader noticed that elephant army mentioned in surah 105 are persian elephant army defeated in battle of qadisiyah.
the purpose that god mentioned defeat of elephant army's are not only for telling historical event
in fact, elephant army was extreme extension of heavy-cavalry army.
and before invention of gunpowder, heavy cavalry army was generically army of privileged class. This was even same for even Carthage's elephant army. That army only symbolized Carthage's extreme aristocracy and plutocracy, and Rome, common peoples had strong political power, they only made light-cavalry for scouts and dragoons. and won the punic wars despite hannibal's exist
because aristocratic country are fully made of common people's cowardice and political indifference, so that those common people never fought for their country seriously. therefore aristocratic country can never have decent infantry-based army, and tend to dependence on privileged class's heavy cavalry army.
and it's same in background of revelation of sural 105. in that's era roman army and persian army were consisted of extreme heavy cavalry army that wears megalomanic armor! if you interested this, search <cataphract> and <Clibanarii>
so that god's message in surah 105 was 'if God wants to save particular nation, the infantry army will win against the heavy cavalry army' and there's a lot of precedent in history.
Even when Joan of Arc saved France, she firstly began to weaken the feudal lords' gendarme army by arming the common people with muskets and cannons, Muhammad Ali purged the Mamluk cavalry and armed the Egyptian peasants, and the beginning of Greek independence and modernization of Turkey began with the fall of the Sipahi cavalry during the Greek independence War.

The French philosopher Montesquieu and the Italian political thinker Machiavelli also argued this historical law. Montesquieu said in his book on Roman history that countries that are incompetent in the military only increase cavalry, and countries that are competent in the military with none-corrupted common people use infantry more.

and that's heavy cavalry army with megalomanic armor was succeeded to modern tank army.
The tank army initially began as an army to support infantry trenches breaking through, but since cold war times, infantry army(which must be made up of an absolute majority of the common peoples) suffered cronic morale declination under an unjustful warmonger regimes, tank army became an irrationally expensive army with megalomaniacal armor, driven by the military complex's delusion to build tanks that could conclude all wars without the support of infantry.

and nowday's russo-ukraine war. that irrational tank army finally ended by drone army of ukrainian peoples. i think the god interested in saving ukrainian nation.... and....

1081 We have given you plenty.
1082 Therefore, you shall reach out to your Lord, and devote yourself.
1083 Indeed your rival will be the loser.

god mentioned word 'sign' in 3108 and reversed that number, 1083 says 'your rival be the loser'.....
if this war ended to ukraine's victory, I think the article I writing will be make sense.....

and... 1081 ... god said with past tense, "given plenty". nowday ukraine is not such plentyful country(but in 2024, almost nations are falling into poverty except undeveloped nations....), but focus on 'past tense'! ukraine have most fertile land in earth and have vast of raw materials.

and readers may noticed at this verse
7168
We divided them through the land as nations. From them are the reformed, and from them are other than that. We tested them with good things and bad, perhaps they will return

god already mentioned that all nation are based and formed by their land. and land are pre-existed every nation's appearing. because geological structure of the Earth was never changed significantly after first civilization appear(sumer)
(in addition, correspondingly with quran, Montesquieu and Ibn Khaldun once argued that nations was formed based on geographical conditions. and historically, ukrainian peoples never introduced slavery and serfdom in their country and never colonized other nations. and they had long history of fighting hadith-satanists!)

so therefore the best nation was given plenty (land) before their appearance are absolutely true.

(Finally, i never want to add this useless opinion in my article, I don't think the world situation is divided into teams like sports, like the psychopaths who like geopolitics. I don't support is**el. I think only humans with multiple STDs will seriously support that country.)
