Question
Is gog and magog and armagedon the same battles or are they
different in time and events?

Answer
   I assume you are interested in these events within the book of Revelation.  Within Revelation the gathering at HarMageddon (Rev 16:13-16) is during the 6th bowl, and is probably the same battle as 19:19-20.  This battle is before the Millennium.  After the Millennium is the battle of Gog and Magog (20:7-10).  At the end of the 1st battle the beast and false prophet are cast into the lake of fire, but after the second the devil is cast into the lake of fire where the beast and false prophet already are.
   Of course, this only scrapes the surface of the many, many difficulties and differences in interpretation in the book of Revelation.
   I hope this is helpful,
