In Revelation 20:7 the context clearly places the battle at the end of the millennium with Satan as the primary character.ģ.

There is no mention of Satan in the context of Ezekiel 38-39. The battle in Revelation 20:7-9 will involve all nations, so armies will come from all directions, not just from the north.Ģ. In the battle of Ezekiel 38-39, the armies come primarily from the north and involve only a few nations of the earth (Ezekiel 38:6, 15 39:2). Below are some of the more obvious reasons why these refer to different people and battles.ġ. It is important to recognize that the Gog and Magog of Ezekiel 38-39 is quite different from the one in Revelation 20:7-8. The result of this battle is that all are destroyed, and Satan will find his final place in the lake of fire (Revelation 20:10). The book of Revelation uses Ezekiel’s prophecy about Magog to portray a final end-times attack on the nation of Israel (Revelation 20:8-9). We know that person is not really Satan, but because that person shares similar characteristics, he or she might be referred to as "the devil." 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). I'm just a poor lil ole half smart computer operator and, stay lost on a lot of these things.Historically speaking, Magog was a grandson of Noah (Genesis 10:2). And list some of the other settings I can change besides resolution. If this helps you to figure out anything further that might be wrong please let me know. I never have been able to get a Custom Game to initialize in Single Player either though Multiplayer mode works fine and can be played without even getting on the internet but, will not allow use of the trainer you did. I wonder if the error in Local Config settings is causing this. Of course there is a lot more in the other folders, too much to list here but nothing like you mentioned and what is supposed to be there.

Then below this there is Render r_fullscreen 1 followed by r_width 1280 r_height 1024. In the Sparta folder when I open it, I get Local configuration Settings, and in this is Menu, d_error_silent_mode and several spaces later 1. When I open Data all I get is Inbox and Splash, The modules folder has a lot of things such as Dare.dll, Debughelp.dll, localization.dll and so on. The first three across the top are Data, Modules, Sparta, of course there's a lot more below these but I hope these are the important ones. Here is what I find when I open the Play Logic, Ancient Wars folder.
