It is similar to someone today calling a person "the devil" because he or she is sinful and evil. The duplicated use of the names Gog and Magog in Revelation 20:8-9 is to show that these people demonstrate the same rebellion against God and antagonism toward God as those in Ezekiel 38-39.
Gog and Magog are mentioned again in Revelation 20:7-8. The slaughter will be so great it will take seven months to bury all of the dead (Ezekiel 39:11-12). According to Ezekiel, Gog will be defeated by God Himself on the mountains of Israel. Possibly the battle will occur just before the midpoint of the seven-year period. When Israel’s covenant with the Beast/Antichrist is in effect at the beginning of Daniel’s 70th Week (also known as the 7-year tribulation, Daniel 9:27a), Israel will be at peace.
Israel is definitely not at peace now, and it is inconceivable that the nation would lay down its defenses apart from some major event. The description from Ezekiel is that of a nation that has security and has laid down its defenses. The strongest evidence for this view is that the attack will come when Israel is at peace (Ezekiel 38:8, 11). Ezekiel’s battle of Gog and Magog occurs in the tribulation period, more specifically in the first 3 1/2 years. Gog is described as “of the land of Magog, the prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal” (Ezekiel 38:2-3). In Ezekiel’s prophecy, Gog will be the leader of a great army that attacks the land of Israel. While these two instances carry the same names, a close study of Scripture clearly demonstrates they do not refer to the same people and events.
Gog and Magog are referred to in Ezekiel 38-39 and in Revelation 20:7-8. The people of Magog are described as skilled warriors (Ezekiel 38:15 39:3-9). Magog seems to be used to refer to "northern barbarians" in general, but likely also has a connection to Magog the person. The descendants of Magog settled to the far north of Israel, likely in Europe and northern Asia (Ezekiel 38:2). Has an add-on - "Great War Nations: The Spartans".Historically speaking, Magog was a grandson of Noah (Genesis 10:2).
