The prophecy of Ezekiel 38 and 39, often referred to as the Battle of Gog and Magog, is hands-down one of the most important and influential end-time prophecies in all of Scripture. But it is also one of the most controversial and widely misunderstood prophecies. Throughout the Church today, a vast number of Christians believe that Ezekiel 38 and 39 predicts a Russian-led invasion of Israel in the last days. Ever since the release of the Scofield Reference Bible, this view has been echoed in dozens upon dozens of prophecy books, in thousands of end-time sermons, and today in countless online end-time discussion forums and articles. I cannot understate how well-established and influential the Russian-Gog view is. Consider for example, the comments made by then-Gov. Ronald Reagan in 1971, to a room full of state legislators:
“Ezekiel tells us that Gog, the nation that will lead all of the other powers against Israel, will come out of the north. Biblical scholars have been saying for generations that Gog must be Russia. What other powerful nation is to the north of Israel? None.”
A good place to start your study regarding this is to look at the 6 minute video by Joel Richardson. Then look at the Maps on his page. For all of the Maps please follow this Link

The Comets of God examines the Bible’s scriptures in light
of the advancements in archeology, history, linguistics, geology and astronomy
that opens the door to understanding and appreciating the amazing scientific
information in the Bible. There is now
significant scientific evidence that helps to establish the reality of the
catastrophic events recorded or prophesied in the Bible. For example, learn about: Noah’s Flood and the Burckle Impact Crater, The Tower of Babel and the Amarah Impact
Crater, Revelation’s prophecy of the
world’s cities falling and mountains melting in light of what a comet
penetrating the Earth’s crust can do.
We must be vigilant. Learn and Teach our children and colleagues well.
The last sentence in this video states that Jesus said: "My people perish for lack of knowledge".
Did Jesus say that?

CONCLUSION
A debate continues today in regard to the prophecies of the Antichrist and his national identity. But no matter how much we speculate on the ultimate meaning of the Scriptures, we won't know the absolute truth until God's appointed time. As such, it is wise to study these prophecies and teach them to others, so that Christians of the Antichrist's generation will be able to positively identify him based on sound scriptural evidence.
The most important thing is ones own personal relationship with Christ.

May the Lord Jesus Christ, upon His return, find us actively engaged in teaching these truths to others.
Until then, live with a patient and enduring faith that His return is soon upon us.
