We get closer almost by the hour. I'm at the point where I make plans for the future and seriously wonder if they will actually happen.

I personally can't believe that for all these years of reading and being familiar with Ezekiel 38 and 39, I never caught the fact that the "chief prince" title that God gives to Gog is proof positive that Gog is a fallen angel, a demon.

I finally got a clue when, on another thread, a poster stated the obvious: that Gog is a fallen angel.

Talk about feeling stupid!

You aren’t stupid. There are a lot of things that have been misunderstood over the years. I just take a wait and see attitude on a lot of things, but I know America is going to be in a lot of trouble and we need to prepare NOW. God will see His people through it. HE is our peace. Not Obama, not the government, not even the tea parties (LOL), but HE is our peace.

So I’ve come to the conclusion that Gog is a supernatural figure. …

I personally can't believe that for all these years of reading and being familiar with Ezekiel 38 and 39, I never caught the fact that the "chief prince" title that God gives to Gog is proof positive that Gog is a fallen angel, a demon.

Let me see if I understand what you are suggesting, some fallen angel is going to marshal an army of Russians on horseback with swords to go up against the modern Israeli army?

At the end of the “1000 years”, “Gog and Magog” in Rev. 20 are identified as nations, not individuals. They are the ones again being deceived by Satan.

And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.

The first one is in the first verse of Amos 7, but you have to be reading Amos from the Septuigent translation to see it.

Two things here; 1) the Septuagint is not inspired so you cannot make any doctrinal claims from it, and 2) contrary to your suggestion, the Gog in the Septuagint version is identified as one of the locusts, a larve, not as some other type of creature.
