In regards to Gog and Magog . . . I wondered for a long time about Turkey. It is part of the coalition that invades Israel. There have historically been very strong ties between Israel and Turkey.

Strong military economic and diplomatic ties. There was even a lot of social ties between the military leadership of both countries. This new president of Turkey has really been cutting those ties. He has purged the entire senior leadership of the Turkish military. He has also aligned himself clearly with the anti-Israel forces.

Turkey also has a modern military that is more or less the equal of Israels. Modern weapons and a member of NATO (so access to their intelligence). America right now is looking at selling Turkey the new F-35 stealth fighter which even with its problems is a huge step up from what everyone else in the world is using. In short a modern first class military that even mighty Israel would be extremely careful of taking on in a military conflict

It is becoming very apparent how Turkey would be part of the Gog war. I don't know if all of you are keeping up but with Russia and Iran both involved in Syria and setting up military bases and with Turkeys actions its not hard to see the Gog war on the horizon.

It is always worth noting on comments like this that the bible says from beginning to end that God is in control and that Gods people will always be taken care of.

Isaiah 26/20-21
. . . Come my people . . . hide yourself . . . until the indignation be past

Here is one article (of many) on Turkey vs Israel.
