short, he has based his description of both the Armageddon revolt (19:17 21) and the Gog-Magog revolt (20:7–10) on the same prophetic passage, viz., Ezekiel 38–39. The bearing of the preceding observation on the case for the recapitulation of 19:11–21 in 20:7–10 is as follows. If John expected us to interpret the revolts in Revelation 19 and 20 as different episodes in history, we would hardly expect him to describe them in language and imagery derived from the same episode in Ezekiel’s prophecy.
