Supper's Ready
"Supper's Ready" is a song by the progressive rock band Genesis, recorded for their 1972 studio album '' Foxtrot''. At 23 minutes in length, it is the band's longest recorded song and almost takes up the entire second side of the vinyl. Frontman Peter Gabriel wrote the lyrics, which mainly describe a personal journey of scenes from the Book of Revelation and good versus evil, with several real life experiences providing further inspiration. The song took form in the summer of 1972, when Genesis dedicated time to write new songs after touring '' Nursery Cryme''. After the opening acoustic sections were arranged, it was considered a companion piece to " The Musical Box" until Gabriel pitched the tune "Willow Farm", which took the song into a different direction. Genesis extend the piece further, culminating in the final two sections, "Apocalypse in 9/8" and "As Sure as Eggs is Eggs", which the band felt was some of their strongest recorded material. "Supper's Ready" became a cent ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Gog and Magog (; he, גּוֹג וּמָגוֹג, ''Gōg ū-Māgōg'') appear in the Hebrew Bible and the Quran as individuals, tribes, or lands.

The Gog prophecy is meant to be fulfilled at the approach of what is called the "Eschatology, end of days", but not necessarily the end of the world. Jewish eschatology viewed Gog and Magog as enemies to be defeated by the Messiah in Judaism, Messiah, which would usher in the age of the Messiah. Christianity's interpretation is more starkly Apocalypse, apocalyptic, making Gog and Magog, here indicating nations rather than individuals, allies of Satan against God at the end of the Millennialism, millennium, as described in the Book of Revelation.
