Arabic language the Great Wall of China is called "the wall of Al Magog" because the Great Wall was built to keep out the invading armies from Magog.

Based on this I would have to say Gog represents the president of the United States because presidents have connections to the shadow governemnts, and Magog represents NATO or US military because NATO and US are the corrupted ones.
- but don't actually come to war against Islam until just prior to Judgment day, when they will come from all sides. -
We are not considering our current wars in the middl east as war on Islam but I believe it is, and we will vote in a president that will be vary war hungry in the enar future who will finally call it what it is, a war on Islam.
- So I believe that Gog an Magog are already here ate this current time, and the prophecy has already come to pass... Just nobody really noticed it. -
I believe Gog has already arrived on the scene for presidency or will do so soon. He/she will already be a member of secret organisations.
- I think we very well may be living in the End Days. -
I do not believe that it is the end of days but just the end of this current world, our state of mind and consciousness. Not everybody will die but our world will change forever.
- What does everybody else think? -
I would also highly recommend looking at this site which helps reaffirm my statements. www.welcomehome.org...
Sorry if my quoting is wrong I do not know how to seperate quotes from my statements. I put - - between Seattle Truth's statements.

So I believe that Gog an Magog are already here ate this current time, and the prophecy has already come to pass... Just nobody really noticed it.
Genesis 10 NIV
The Table of Nations
1 This is the account of Shem, Ham and Japheth, Noah's sons, who themselves had sons after the flood.
The Japhethites
2 The sons of Japheth: Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshech and Tiras. 3 The sons of Gomer: Ashkenaz, Riphath and Togarmah. 4 The sons of Javan: Elishah, Tarshish, the Kittim and the Rodanim. 5 (From these the maritime peoples spread out into their territories by their clans within their nations, each with its own language.)
Ezekiel 38 NIV
1 The word of the LORD came to me: 2 "Son of man, set your face against Gog, of the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal; prophesy against him 3 and say: 'This is what the Sovereign LORD says: I am against you, O Gog, chief prince of Meshech and Tubal. 4 I will turn you around, put hooks in your jaws and bring you out with your whole army--your horses, your horsemen fully armed, and a great horde with large and small shields, all of them brandishing their swords. 5 Persia, Cush and Put will be with them, all with shields and helmets, 6 also Gomer with all its troops, and Beth Togarmah from the far north with all its troops--the many nations with you."
Magog = "land of Gog" n pr m
1. the 2nd son of Japheth, grandson of Noah, and progenitor of several tribes northward from Israel n pr loc
2. the mountainous region between Cappadocia and Media and habitation of the descendants of Magog, son of Japheth and grandson of Noah

I'm interested in hearing different viewpoints on who people think Gog and Magog are referring to.
If you can please back your view up with some quotes from the Bible or Torah, that would be great.
Sorry, I don't know a whole lot about the Bible, I only really know Gog and Magog from the Quran, and they were only mentioned in 2 occasions.
But I believe that some of the Bible is true unaltered scripture, especially the Book of Revelations, so I'd like to hear more about the Bible.
These are the 2 occasions that Gog and Magog are mentioned in the Quran, and my interpretation of who they are, just based off my analysis.
[18:93] When he reached the valley between two palisades, he found people whose language was barely understandable.
[18:94] They said, "O Zul-Qarnain, Gog and Magog are corruptors of the earth. Can we pay you to create a barrier between us and them?"
[18:95] He said, "My Lord has given me great bounties. If you cooperate with me, I will build a dam between you and them.
[18:96] "Bring to me masses of iron." Once he filled the gap between the two palisades, he said, "Blow." Once it was red hot, he said, "Help me pour tar on top of it."
[18:97] Thus, they could not climb it, nor could they bore holes in it.
[18:98] He said, "This is mercy from my Lord. When the prophecy of my Lord comes to pass, He will cause the dam to crumble. The prophecy of my Lord is truth."
[18:99]And We left them till that day to surge like waves on one another. And the horn was blown so We gathered them together.
[21:95] It is forbidden for any community we had annihilated to return.
[21:96] Not until Gog and Magog reappear, will they then return - they will come from every direction.
[21:97] That is when the inevitable Day of Judgment will draw near, and the disbelievers will stare in horror: "Woe to us; we have been oblivious. Indeed, we have been wicked."
So I can come to 2 conclusions based off of this: Gog and Magog were 2 communities that had previously been banished from the Middle East / Asia minor, but are allowed to infiltrate Islamic lands at the end of the days.
These 2 communities have been the "biggest corruptors" on earth, but don't actually come to war against Islam until just prior to Judgment day, when they will come from all sides.
Personally I feel that Gog and Magog don't actually refer to 2 countries, they refer to "communities". Communities of corruptors. I believe these 2 communities have transcended the bounds of just one nation, they are now in control of almost all nations. I think it has to do with the the Illuminati and the Free Masons or something like that... Both were ancient communities that had been destroyed by the fall of the ancient Egyptian empire.
Basically I believe they were mostly destroyed when Pharaoh and his soldiers were drowned by the crashing of the sea after Moses had parted it. This didn't completely destroy the Masons / Illuminati, they eventually infiltrated Judaism and Christianity. But after Islam took over the middle east, they were mostly banished from the land. More recently the Wahabis became Free Masons, and that's why they were brought to power in Saudia Arabia, but still that had not truly penetrated the land, the Saudis are the ones calling the shots over there.
Now those 2 communities have control over the armies of every western nation (USA, Nato, Canada, Britain, Israel, etc) in the world, and the "dam has already been let loose". They are coming to the middle East and Asia Minor from every side. This is the first time in history that it's been like this, it can't just be a minor incident.
So I believe that Gog an Magog are already here ate this current time, and the prophecy has already come to pass... Just nobody really noticed it.
I think we very well may be living in the End Days.
What does everybody else think?

Magog means Land of Gog and Gog means mountains. It is the name of a mountaineous area to the North and East of Israel. There is infact one such nation to the North and East of Israel, whose name means "Land of Mountains" and that is Georgia, and it even contains all the letters of Gog and an -ia tail meaning Land. It lies between Cappadonia and Media as prophesied. It's flag is more or less similar to the Jerusalem Cross, and it's coat of Arms seems to portrait st. George riding a white horse slaying a dragon beast with a spear sided by two lion headed leopards (a standing lion is a lion, one where all four touche the ground is a leopard, this leopard use a shield for support with his two front paws) with bear feet (three toes = lion feet, four toes = bear feet), with dragon tongues (most heraldic lions have dragon tongues, meaning theycan "beat the devil". However, what if it's a heraldic prophetic message showing George Bush (two horns, sr. and jr.) promising peace, slaying Saddam Hussein (the king of Babylon) using the weapon of Cain (the spear). St George is also the patron saint of England. UK with Blair was in on the false pretence scheme of Bush jr. Is Magog infact the English speaking world? Then why do most English speaking "scholars" and "prophets" say Gog and Magog is Russia? Why wouldn't they?

George Look up George at Dictionary.com
male personal name, from L. Georgius, from Gk. Georgios "husbandman, farmer," from ge "earth" + ergon "work" (see urge (v.)). The name introduced in England by the Crusaders (a vision of St. George played a key role in the First Crusade), but not common until after the Hanoverian succession (18c.); so also Georgian (1855) in reference to the reigns of the first four king Georges (1714-1830). St. George began to be recognized as patron of England in time of Edward III, perhaps because of his association with the Order of the Garter (see garter). His feast day, April 23, was made a holiday in 1222. The legend of his combat with the dragon is first found in "Legenda Aurea" (13c.). The exclamation by (St.) George! is recorded from 1598.
Gog and Magog, or sometimes Gogmagog and Corineus, are descended from the pagan giants of early English pageantry and their origins lie in ancient legends of Britain’s beginning. The story goes that Diocletian – the Roman Emperor – had thirty-three wicked daughters. He managed to find thirty-three husbands to curb their unruly ways, but the daughters were not pleased, and under the leadership of their eldest sister Alba they plotted to cut the throats of their husbands as they slept.
For this crime they were set adrift in a boat with half a year’s rations, and after a long and dreadful journey they arrived at the islands which came to be named Albion, after the eldest. Here they stayed, and by coupling with demons they populated the the wild, windswept islands with a race of giants.

7:1 Thus has the Lord God shewed me; and, behold, a swarm of locusts coming from the east; and, behold, one caterpillar, king Gog. 2 And it came to pass when he had finished devouring the grass of the land, that I said, Lord God, be merciful; who shall raise up Jacob? for he is small in number. 3 Repent, O Lord, for this. And this shall not be, saith the Lord.
4 Thus has the Lord shewed me; and, behold, the Lord called for judgment by fire, and it devoured the great deep, and devoured the Lord’s portion. 5 Then I said, O Lord, cease, I pray thee: who shall raise up Jacob? for he is small in number. Repent, O Lord, for this. 6 This also shall not be, saith the Lord.
7 Thus the Lord shewed me; and behold, he stood upon a wall of adamant, and in his hand was an adamant. 8 And the Lord said to me, What seest thou, Amos? And I said, An adamant. And the Lord said to me, Behold, I appoint an adamant in the midst of my people Israel: I will not pass by them any more. 9 And the joyful altars shall be abolished, and the sacrifices of Israel shall be set aside; and I will rise up against the house of Jeroboam with the sword.
Georgia (the west Asian country):

Derived from Persian Gurj,[9][10] probably derived from a PIE (Proto Indo European) term meaning "mountainous".

Georgians call themselves Kartvelebi (ქართველები), their land Sakartvelo (საქართველო), and their language Kartuli (ქართული). These names are derived from a pagan god called Kartlos, said to be the father of all Georgians. The foreign name Georgia, used throughout Western Europe, is derived from Arabic Jurj, which in turn comes from Persian Gurj. Because the spelling was influenced by the Greek root geōrg- (γεωργ-, indicating farming), the word has been mistakenly supposed to have come from a cognate such as St. George (the country's patron saint), or γεωργία (geōrg�a, farming).

So we have some identifying occurring.
Now, if I was a Gambling Man, I would say Jack has this correct.
Historically speaking, Magog was a grandson of Noah (Genesis 10:2).
Magog seems to be used to refer to "northern barbarians" in general, but likely also has a connection to Magog the person.
1. Magog is described as being in ‘the far north’
2. The term Ros (at Ezekiel 38:2, which is really pronounced Rosh) is said to be an early term for Russia
