Gog And Magog...
A Different Take On Ezekiel 38-39
For years we have been taught that the identity of God/Magog was Russia and the Central
Asian states.  But is there another nation or entity the prophet Ezekiel saw in his vision?  
Exactly who claims to be represented by Gog/Magog, i.e., claims them as a patron icon?  My
research led me to find that just as ancient Rome claimed Romulus and Remus (legendary
figures purported to have founded their civilization) as the patrons of Roman beginnings, Gog
and Magog have historically been claimed as the patron icons of the British Isles!

The seat of government in London, England is located in a building called 'GUILDHALL'.  

Let's look briefly at this history of this place, Guildhall.  

















The building's existence was first recorded in 1128.  Rebuilding of Guildhall occurred in
1411-91, followed by partial destruction during the Great Fire of 1666, and rebuilding once
more in the years thereafter.  In 1614, a new Council chamber was completed and another in
1777.  Other than these changes, the structure has remained the same for much of the
nineteenth century, until several architectural additions were completed in 1862 (including a
new roof and library), several years after the death of John Snow.


After the Great Fire of 1666, Christopher Wren (1632-1723) supervised the rebuilding of
Guildhall, including installation of a flat roof in the interior ceiling of the Great Hall.  It was
supposed to have been temporary, but lasted nearly two centuries.  As part of the 1862
renovations, the roof was greatly altered to a richer design. That ceiling remained until 1940
when it was set on fire during a World War II air raid.  Also included in Guildhall were statues
of two legendary giants, Gog and Magog, mythical warriors with a prominent role in
British history. They stand on both sides of the stairs that leave the Great Hall, opposite
the entering door.
