Roman Catholic here, born and raised, church every Sunday and catechism. As Roman Catholics, we don't fuck around with reading the Bible. We daze off during the two readings and the Gospel, and we rely on the priest's homily to sum it all up succinctly and with a couple of jokes sprinkled in.
18 years of going to church growing up and I don't know what a Gog Magog is.
Religion for Breakfast has a nice video on what Gog and Magog is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wh11CuVUZPY . They're basically a group originally mentioned in Ezekiel that we don't have alot of idea who they originally were, but they've been this recurring boogeyman through Judaism and Christianity as both groups keep trying to apply the name to whoever they think might be the biggest threat to Israel.
