I do not know who Gog is. I do believe that Magog is the same place as Lydia which was in Turkey. I am aware many believe that it is Russia, and am open to the possibility that Gog could be a Russian and that Russian influence is involved in the invasion. But I know or sure that the primary and main forces described are in what is now called Turkey, hope this helps.
Thanks for your reply. I am aware that some believe the land of Magog to be Turkey due to maps of ancient Lydia.
The way things political have changed in Turkey since Erdowan took over, would seem to support that view. But Moscow is more directly north of Israel than Lydia. Also, the description of the huge invasion of Israel coming down from the north we see in Ezek. 38, 39 looks more like Russia. Turkey’s military, at least so far, doesn’t appear to fit that description.
I’ll be watching to see which is these interpretations is the right one.
