Trouble is, this is not just quitting UN but forming a counter-UN.

This has shades of Gog vs. Magog (Gog means “I roll” and Magog means “Who is Gog?”)

‘This has shades of Gog vs. Magog (Gog means “I roll” and Magog means “Who is Gog?”)’

Here’s a more accurate meaning of ‘gog’ and ‘magog’.

http://www.abarim-publications.com/Meaning/Gog.html#.V7pcI_krJD8

Gog may be a region, and Magog is then said to mean From Gog (BDB Theological Dictionary). But Ezekiel 38:2 speaks of a man named Gog who is of the land of Magog (= the land of the land of Gog), which seems overly redundant.

But Gog may mean Roof, and Magog may subsequently mean Off The Roof, which means more in English than in Hebrew. Possibly, the rooftop is semi-synonymous to a place of worship, especially pagan worship, and Magog denotes that same inclination.
