I think the difference is that Gog and Magog (with Satan) in Rev. 20 will fight against Jesus Christ after the millennium, while the Gog and Magog in Ezek. 38 lead the countries who will invade Israel (the nation) for the purpose of plundering and looting Israel's resources (some say for oil as Israel just recently found a very rich oilfield within its territory).Revelation 20:7-8
When the thousand years are completed, Satan will be released from his prison, and will come out to deceive the nations which are in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together for the war; the number of them is like the sand of the seashore.
Can it be that Gog and Magog will attack twice, once before the millennium and once after?
7 “‘Get ready; be prepared, you and all the hordes gathered about you, and take command of them. 8 After many days you will be called to arms. In future years you will invade a land that has recovered from war, whose people were gathered from many nations to the mountains of Israel, which had long been desolate. They had been brought out from the nations, and now all of them live in safety. 9 You and all your troops and the many nations with you will go up, advancing like a storm; you will be like a cloud covering the land.
10 “‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: On that day thoughts will come into your mind and you will devise an evil scheme. 11 You will say, “I will invade a land of unwalled villages; I will attack a peaceful and unsuspecting people—all of them living without walls and without gates and bars. 12 I will plunder and loot and turn my hand against the resettled ruins and the people gathered from the nations, rich in livestock and goods, living at the center of the land.[d]” - Ezekiel 38:7-12
