201 ..........................................Gog of the Land of Magog ....................

Ezekiel chapter 38 and 39 describes an invasion of Israel by a coalition of nations under the leadership of a man called Gog of the land of Magog. "in the latter years" (Ezek. 38:8) at the end of the 1000 year reign of Jesus the Messiah " The Word of God is very precise. As God addresses Gog, He declares, "And you shall come up against my people of Israel, as a cloud to cover the land; it shall be in the latter days, and I will bring you against my land, that the heathen may know me, when I shall be sanctified in you, O Gog, before their eyes" (Ezek. 38:16). God said to Gog, "And you shall come from your place out of the north parts, you and many people with you, all of them riding upon horses, a great company,, and a mighty army" (Ezek. 38:15). And again God speaks, " And I will turn you back, and leave but the sixth part of you, and will cause you to come up from the north parts, and I will bring you upon the mountains of Israel" (Ezek. 39:2).
The invasion will occur at a time when Israel is dwelling safely. To Gog, God says in Ezek:38:11: And you shalt say, I will go up to the land of unwalled villages; I will go to them that are at rest, that dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates,:14: Therefore, son of man, prophesy and say to Gog, Thus says the Lord GOD; In that day when my people of Israel dwelleth safely, shalt you not know it?

Here are some of the scriptures that tell about the rest Israel will have.
during the 1000 year reign of Jesus the Messiah, the Millenium.

Jer:30:10: Therefore fear not, O my servant Jacob, saith the LORD; neither be dismayed, O Israel: for, lo, I will save you from afar, and your seed from the land of their captivity; and Jacob shall return, and shall be in rest, and be quiet, and none shall make him afraid. Jer:31:2: Thus saith the LORD, The people which were left of the sword found grace in the wilderness; even Israel, when I went to cause him to rest. Jer:46:27: But fear not, O my servant Jacob, and be not dismayed, O Israel: for, behold, I will save you from afar off, and your seed from the land of their captivity; and Jacob shall return, and be in rest and at ease, and none shall make him afraid.
The invasion will occur at a time when Israel is prospering as a nation and dwelling safely. The reason for the attack is clearly given. "To take a spoil and to take a prey; to turn your hand upon the desolate places that are now inhabited, and upon the people that are gathered out of the nations, which have gotten cattle and goods, that dwell in the midst of the land" (Ezek. 38:12). These invading armies will attack Israel in the latter days. The principal armies will come from the North. ... Who are these armies?
Gog is said to rule over Magog. The Magogites were the ancient Sycthians. In the time of the Prophet they dwelt in an area which was, then to the far north of Israel, between the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea with the Caucasus Mountain Range as their southern border. Gog of Magog is the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal. Both Meshech and Tubal, along with Magog are listed in Gen. 10:2 as sons of Japheth, a son of Noah. The Ark landed on Mount Ararat in the Caucasus Mountains. These three grandsons of Noah settled north on the mountains in the southeastern region of the former Soviet Union.
It is very unlikely that Magog is Russia. ROSH appears 456 times in the Old Testament and never as a proper noun! ROSH is a Hebrew word meaning chief. The first or chief day of the Jewish calendar year is called ROSH HASHANA. whereas "Russia" is a Finnish word meaning rowers (of a boat). There is no connection between these two words.
