Wakeup,
imo, it’s no good quoting Ezekiel 38, because as I’m sure you would know Revelations speaks in a SYMBOLIC LANGUAGE.
I don’t understand why you are quoting so much about a nation called Israel, as God is the God of the whole world now?
THOSE NATIONS WILL BE THE GENTILES LIVING OUTSIDE THE KINGDOM,OF WHOM MANY WILL BE CONVERTED TO CHRIST.
Where do you get this “outside the kingdom”? The kingdom of God is in our midst. It will not come with observations. I live in this world, but while in the world, I am either in the kingdom of God, or I am not. The kingdom of God is not here in its fullness yet. Do you understand this. One day, though. We see glimpses of His kingdom. If the power of God is in us. But, there is a spiritual battle, and only prayer and faith can help us to overcome.
The idea that Russia was somehow linked in with Gog and Magog was only made famous through futurists Hal Lindsey and Tim LaHaye.
George W. Bush made the comment that “Gog and Magog are at work in the Middle East” in the prelude to the 2003 invasion of Iraq.
In Australia, there is a Mt Magog, and a Mt Gog. Perhaps it is in reference to Australia 🙂
In NZ on Stewart Island are two granite domes named Gog and Magog.
Similar is found in Colorado and British Columbia.The fact that Revelation says “the four corners of the earth’ makes a good defence I believe to Gog and Magog being “the four corners of earth”, which means the world.

Hi Camellia.
I understand that the kingdom of God is in us now.
They that have come out of the spirit of Babylon the city of the god of this world. And have come into Zion, the city of God.
All true worshippers are not of Babylon, but of Zion.
They have the spirit of Christ in them, and walk in Christ.
They will be the future saints to rule over the kingdom of God
When it is set up after Babylon the great is destroyed.
This kingdom will be on earth.(Israel). Many Christians still have the spirit of Babylon in them; they have not fully come into Zion.Be ye separate God said;dont get yoked with the world.
The Holy bible consist of the old and the new testament.
Both are the Word of God. We should not ignore the old testament, for it is also written for us.
(Jesus is the Word of God). Old and new.
Re’ the symbols; Jesus also spoke in parables so the wicked can not understand. But they understood after given the Holy Spirit.
So also all prophesies are in symbols so the wicked can not understand. However, they are there for us to understand.
The book of revelation is the revealing,of what is to come.
Not the hiding.
To understand prophesies is to know God’s plan,and to know
what is coming,Without being deceived by false prophets that have send them selves.
To love God is wanting to know everything about Him.
Not just part of Him.
The battle of Armageddon is a physical battle, not just a spiritual one. And so is the battle of gog and magog.
For many will be buried in the valley of jehosaphat.(Armageddon).
And many will be buried in the valley of hamongog.
(the battle of gog).
Re’ the domes and places called gog and magog: there may be places called gog and magog; but they are not the gog and magog God has named. And that will be one thousand years after the second coming.
Re’ the restraining; God has restrained the false prophet from coming before his time. Only God can let him be revealed.
God is the restrainer, no one else can.
He can only reveal himself, when God is ready.
ps.I never said that Russia will be with gog and magog.
For Russia will be no more by then.
The physical kingdom of God will have boundaries.
