Or Madhu and Kaitabha, or Shumbha and Nishshumbha, or Ravana and Kumbhakarna, or Kamsa and Chanura, or Hiranyaksha or Hiranyakashipu. One and one make eleven.
I don't understand. Koka Vikoka are names of two twin demon brothers according to Wikipedia.
Genesis 10:2 "The sons of Japheth, Gomer and Magog and Madai and Javan and Tubal and Meshech and Tiras."
Ezekiel 38:2 "Son of man, put your face to Gog, the land of Magog; [the] prince head of Meshech and Tubal."
Gog is the leader of the nation of Magog that live in the land called Magog (in those times, the lands were named after the nation living there). He also heads the lands of Meshech and Tubal.
Where do the similarities start?

From Ahmadiyya Muslim understanding:

Gog and Magog were mentioned in the Quraan.
21:96 Until when [the dam of] Gog and Magog has been opened and they, from every elevation, descend
18:83-98
83 And they ask you, [O Muhammad], about Dhul-Qarnayn. Say, "I will recite to you about him a report."
84 Indeed We established him upon the earth, and We gave him to everything a way.
85 So he followed a way
86 Until, when he reached the setting of the sun, he found it [as if] setting in a spring of dark mud, and he found near it a people. Allah said, "O Dhul-Qarnayn, either you punish [them] or else adopt among them [a way of] goodness."
87 He said, "As for one who wrongs, we will punish him. Then he will be returned to his Lord, and He will punish him with a terrible punishment.
88 But as for one who believes and does righteousness, he will have a reward of Paradise, and we will speak to him from our command with ease."
89 Then he followed a way
90 Until, when he came to the rising of the sun, he found it rising on a people for whom We had not made against it any shield.
91 Thus. And We had encompassed [all] that he had in knowledge.
92 Then he followed a way
93 Until, when he reached [a pass] between two mountains, he found beside them a people who could hardly understand [his] speech.
94 They said, "O Dhul-Qarnayn, indeed Gog and Magog are [great] corrupters in the land. So may we assign for you an expenditure that you might make between us and them a barrier?"
95 He said, "That in which my Lord has established me is better [than what you offer], but assist me with strength; I will make between you and them a dam.
96 Bring me sheets of iron" - until, when he had leveled [them] between the two mountain walls, he said, "Blow [with bellows]," until when he had made it [like] fire, he said, "Bring me, that I may pour over it molten copper."
97 So Gog and Magog were unable to pass over it, nor were they able [to effect] in it any penetration.
98 [Dhul-Qarnayn] said, "This is a mercy from my Lord; but when the promise of my Lord comes, He will make it level, and ever is the promise of my Lord true."

Oh, I don't know how the NT looks at it.
