The part that is spooking me is the one about the war of gog and magog.

Here is one of the theories on just what that war might involve

. Russian Theory: The Hebrew word 'rosh' in verse 3 is identified with Russia, 'Tubal' with Tiblisi or Tobolsk and 'Meshech' with Moscow, therefore Gog and Magog refers to Russia. This is one of the most commonly held views and is based on a different interpretation of the Hebrew word Rosh (used as a noun rather than adjective), similarities in the pronunciation of words, and the Greek translation of Rosh referring to a tribe of people found in what is now Russia.

In Genesis Gog is mentioned as the son of Japhet, grandson
of Noah and in Ezekiel he is spoken of as prince of Magog.

Gog was the prince of Magog.
Look at the ancient maps, Magog is now Russia.

Here is an original map published in 1862 in
An Historical Text Book and Atlas of Biblical Geography By Lyman Coleman
