(
Gog
’s region). (1) Second
son
of
Japheth
, and his people (
Gen. 10:2
2
The sons of Japheth; Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras. (Genesis 10:2)
). (2) Gog’s land; probably Scythia (
Ezek. 38:2; 39:2-6
2
Son of man, set thy face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him, (Ezekiel 38:2)
2
And I will turn thee back, and leave but the sixth part of thee, and will cause thee to come up from the north parts, and will bring thee upon the mountains of Israel:
3
And I will smite thy bow out of thy left hand, and will cause thine arrows to fall out of thy right hand.
4
Thou shalt fall upon the mountains of Israel, thou, and all thy bands, and the people that is with thee: I will give thee unto the ravenous birds of every sort, and to the beasts of the field to be devoured.
5
Thou shalt fall upon the open field: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord God.
6
And I will send a fire on Magog, and among them that dwell carelessly in the isles: and they shall know that I am the Lord. (Ezekiel 39:2‑6)

And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them. (Revelation 20:7‑9)
).
“Magog” From
Concise Bible Dictionary
:
See
GOG
.
“Gog and Magog” From
Concise Bible Dictionary
:
GOG
is a symbolical name for the powerful and proud chief of the vast hordes of Scythia and Tartary.
MAGOG
,
the
son
of
Japheth
(
Gen. 10:2
2
The sons of Japheth; Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras. (Genesis 10:2)
), whose descendants spread over the vast steppes in the
north
, after whom the land is here called.
Ezekiel 38:2
2
Son of man, set thy face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him, (Ezekiel 38:2)
should read “Son of
man
, set thy face against Gog, the land of Magog, the
prince
of
Rosh
,
Meshech
, and
Tubal
.” Gog is the prince of Rosh, Meshech and Tubal answering to Russia, Moscow or Muscovy, and Tobolsk: all now in the Russian empire. These, “coming out of the north,” “as a
cloud
to cover the land,” will attack
Israel
in the land of
Palestine
, but will be smitten by
God
(
Ezek. 38:2, 18
2
Son of man, set thy face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him, (Ezekiel 38:2)
18
And it shall come to pass at the same time when Gog shall come against the land of Israel, saith the Lord God, that my fury shall come up in my face. (Ezekiel 38:18)
;
Ezek. 39:1,6,11
1
Therefore, thou son of man, prophesy against Gog, and say, Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal: (Ezekiel 39:1)
6
And I will send a fire on Magog, and among them that dwell carelessly in the isles: and they shall know that I am the Lord. (Ezekiel 39:6)
11
And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will give unto Gog a place there of graves in Israel, the valley of the passengers on the east of the sea: and it shall stop the noses of the passengers: and there shall they bury Gog and all his multitude: and they shall call it The valley of Hamon-gog. (Ezekiel 39:11)
). The
valley
where they will be buried will be called Hamon-Gog, the “multitude of Gog” (
Ezek. 39:11,15
11
And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will give unto Gog a place there of graves in Israel, the valley of the passengers on the east of the sea: and it shall stop the noses of the passengers: and there shall they bury Gog and all his multitude: and they shall call it The valley of Hamon-gog. (Ezekiel 39:11)
15
And the passengers that pass through the land, when any seeth a man's bone, then shall he set up a sign by it, till the buriers have buried it in the valley of Hamon-gog. (Ezekiel 39:15)
). The
destruction
of these hordes will cause the
heathen
to know the
Lord
, that is, the nations extern to the Antichristian Empire of the
West
.
In
Revelation 20:8
8
And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea. (Revelation 20:8)
we also read of Gog and Magog attacking “the
camp
of the saints about, and the beloved city,”
Jerusalem
; but this must not be confounded with the
prophecy
in Ezekiel, for here they come out of “the four corners of the
earth
”; and the battles do not coincide as to
time
. In Ezekiel the attack is before Israel is finally settled in the land, as may be seen by the context; whereas in
the Revelation
it is after the thousand years of the
millennium
, and is followed by the final overthrow of God’s enemies who are led on by
Satan
. There is doubtless an allusion to, the
names
in Ezekiel; “Gog and Magog,” being symbolical names, are employed to describe all the proud and powerful hordes of post-millennium
times
, whose number is “as the sand of
the
sea
,” and whom Satan will collect together from all quarters to attack the
kingdom
of
the Lord
Jesus
as established on earth, only to be devoured by
fire
from
heaven
: for Satan, when loosed, will not be able to raise up an empire against the Lord.
