The scholars say that you need to know the GRAMMATICAL meaning of Scripture. They look at the Scripture as made up of words. They go to their Greek, and they define what they think each word means, and how those words connect together grammatically.
The scholars say that you need to know the HISTORICAL CONTEXT of Scripture, so that the reader can understand what was being communicated according to the mind of the original audience. So they extrapolate based on Jewish tradition what they think was going on.
Both these approaches are flawed. The correct approach is a BELIEVING approach, where you get your King James Bible, and you read it as true.

Not everything these people thought or said was right. But they agree in the identity of where Magog is, and it is Russia!
Here’s just one of many old books you can read, called “The Russian Antichrist” by George Pinhorn (1854), http://books.google.com.au/books?id=DkJVAAAAcAAJ
