EZEKIEL 38
EZEKIEL 38
[Eze 38:1-23 NIV] 1 The word of the LORD came to me: 2 "Son of man, set your face against Gog, of the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshek and Tubal; prophesy against him 3 and say: 'This is what the Sovereign LORD says: I am against you, Gog, chief prince of Meshek and Tubal. 4 I will turn you around, put hooks in your jaws and bring you out with your whole army--your horses, your horsemen fully armed, and a great horde with large and small shields, all of them brandishing their swords. 5 Persia, Cush and Put will be with them, all with shields and helmets, 6 also Gomer with all its troops, and Beth Togarmah from the far north with all its troops--the many nations with you. 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." 13 Sheba and Dedan and the merchants of Tarshish and all her villages will say to you, "Have you come to plunder? Have you gathered your hordes to loot, to carry off silver and gold, to take away livestock and goods and to seize much plunder?" ' 14 "Therefore, son of man, prophesy and say to Gog: 'This is what the Sovereign LORD says: In that day, when my people Israel are living in safety, will you not take notice of it? 15 You will come from your place in the far north, you and many nations with you, all of them riding on horses, a great horde, a mighty army. 16 You will advance against my people Israel like a cloud that covers the land. In days to come, Gog, I will bring you against my land, so that the nations may know me when I am proved holy through you before their eyes. 17 " 'This is what the Sovereign LORD says: You are the one I spoke of in former days by my servants the prophets of Israel. At that time they prophesied for years that I would bring you against them. 18 This is what will happen in that day: When Gog attacks the land of Israel, my hot anger will be aroused, declares the Sovereign LORD. 19 In my zeal and fiery wrath I declare that at that time there shall be a great earthquake in the land of Israel. 20 The fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, the beasts of the field, every creature that moves along the ground, and all the people on the face of the earth will tremble at my presence. The mountains will be overturned, the cliffs will crumble and every wall will fall to the ground. 21 I will summon a sword against Gog on all my mountains, declares the Sovereign LORD. Every man's sword will be against his brother. 22 I will execute judgment on him with plague and bloodshed; I will pour down torrents of rain, hailstones and burning sulfur on him and on his troops and on the many nations with him. 23 And so I will show my greatness and my holiness, and I will make myself known in the sight of many nations. Then they will know that I am the LORD.'

But may come from the Assyrian mat-Gugu, "Land of Gyges", i.e., Lydia
Magog" may be code for Babylon
In the Old Testament, Gog only appears in chapters of the Book of Ezekiel.
The Book records a series of visions received by the 6th-century BC prophet Ezekiel,
a priest of Solomon's Temple, who was among the captive during the Babylonian exile.
The exile, he tells his fellow captives, is God's punishment on Israel for turning
away, but God will restore his people to Jerusalem when they return to him. After
this message of reassurance, chapters 38–39, the Gog oracle, tell how Gog of Magog and
his hordes will threaten the restored Israel but will be destroyed, after which God will
establish a new Temple and dwell with his people for a period of lasting peace
(chapters 40–48). The Gog oracle, as internal evidence indicates, was composed
substantially later than the chapters around it.
"Son of man, direct your face against Gog, of the land of Magog, the prince, leader of
Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy concerning him. Say: Thus said the Lord: Behold, I am
against you, Gog, the prince, leader of Meshech and Tubal ... Persia, Cush and Put will
be with you ... also Gomer with all its troops, and Beth Togarmah from the far north with
all its troops—the many nations with you."
"Gog of Magog" here can be tied to Magog the Japhethite in Genesis 10, even though Gog's
paternal lineage is not explicitly given, due to the string of other names present:
Meshech, Tubal, Gomer are all sons of Japeth thus "brothers" of Magog; Togarmah of
"Beth Togarmah" is Magog's "nephew".
Of Gog's allies, Meshech and Tubal were 7th-century kingdoms in central Anatolia north of
Israel, Persia towards east, Cush (Ethiopia) and Put (Libya) to the south; Gomer is the
Cimmerians, a nomadic people north of the Black Sea, and Beth Togarmah was on the border
of Tubal. The confederation thus represents a multinational alliance surrounding Israel.
"Why the prophet's gaze should have focused on these particular nations is unclear,"
comments Biblical scholar Daniel I. Block, but their remoteness and reputation for violence
and mystery possibly "made Gog and his confederates perfect symbols of the archetypal enemy,
rising against God and his people".One explanation is that the Gog alliance, a blend of
the "Table of Nations" in Genesis 10 and Tyre's trading partners in Ezekiel 27, with Persia
added, was cast in the role of end-time enemies of Israel by means of Isaiah 66:19, which is
another text of eschatological foretelling.
Although the prophecy refers to Gog as an enemy in some future, it is not clear if the
confrontation is meant to occur in a final "end of days" since the Hebrew term aḥarit ha-yamim
(Hebrew: אחרית הימים) may merely mean "latter days", and is open to interpretation. Twentieth-century
scholars have used the term to denote the eschaton in a malleable sense, not necessarily meaning
final days, or tied to the Apocalypse.Still, the Utopia of chapters 40–48 can be spoken of
in the parlance of "true eschatological character, given that it is a product of "cosmic conflict"
described in the immediately preceding Gog chapters.

Gog and Magog from Ezekiel to Revelation
Gog and Magog besiege the City of Saints. Their depiction with the hooked noses noted by Paul Meyer.
—Old French Apocalypse in verse, Toulouse MS. 815, fol. 49v
Over the next few centuries Jewish tradition changed Ezekiel's Gog from Magog into Gog and Magog.
The process, and the shifting geography of Gog and Magog, can be traced through the literature of the period.
The 3rd book of the Sibylline Oracles, for example, which originated in Egyptian Judaism in the middle of the
2nd century BC changes Ezekiel's "Gog from Magog" to "Gog and Magog," links their fate with up to eleven
other nations, and places them "in the midst of Aethiopian rivers"; this seems a strange location, but ancient
Gog and Magog in Muslim tradition
Iskandar (Alexander) builds a wall to seal Yajuj and Majuj; here aided by dīvs (demons). — Persian miniature from
a Falnama, 16th cent.
The Monster of Gog and Magog, by al-Qazwini (1203–1283).
The conflation of Gog and Magog with the legend of Alexander and the Iron Gates was disseminated throughout the Near
East in the early centuries of the Christian era. In the Qu'ran Surah 18, Yajuj and Majuj (Gog and Magog) are
suppressed by Dhul-Qarnayn "the two-horned one", commonly interpreted to mean either, Cyrus the Great or Iskandar
(Alexander the Great). Dhul-Qarnayn, having journeyed to the ends of the world, meets "a people who scarcely
understood a word" who seek his help in building a barrier that will separate them from the people of Yajuj and Majuj
who "do great mischief on earth". He agrees to build it for them, but warns that when the time comes (Last Age), Allah
will remove the barrier and Yajuj and Majuj will swarm through.
The early Muslim traditions were summarised by Zakariya al-Qazwini (d. 1283) in two popular works called the Cosmography
and the Geography. Gog and Magog, he says, live near to the sea that encircles the Earth and can be counted only by God;
they are only half the height of a normal man, with claws instead of nails and a hairy tail and huge hairy ears which they
use as mattress and cover for sleeping. They scratch at their wall each day until they almost break through, and each
night God restores it, but when they do break through they will be so numerous that "their vanguard is in Syria and their
rear in Khorasan".
Some nations and peoples in history were conflated with Ya'juj and Ma'juj. At one point, it was the Turks, who threatened
Baghdad and northern Iran; later, when the Mongols destroyed Baghdad in 1258, it was they who were Gog and Magog.
The wall dividing them from civilised peoples was normally placed towards Armenia and Azerbaijan, but in the year 842
the Caliph Al-Wathiq had a dream in which he saw that it had been breached, and sent an official named Sallam to
investigate. Sallam returned a little over two years later and reported that he had seen the wall and also the
tower where Dhul Qarnayn had left his building equipment, and all was still intact. It is not entirely clear
what Sallam saw, but he may have reached the Jade Gate, the westernmost customs point on the border of China.
Somewhat later the 14th-century traveller Ibn Battuta reported that the wall was sixty days' travel from the city
of Zeitun, which is on the coast of China; the translator notes that Ibn Battuta has confused the Great Wall of
China with that built by Dhul-Qarnayn.
geography did sometimes place Ethiopia next to Persia or even India. The passage has a highly uncertain
text, with manuscripts varying in their groupings of the letters of the Greek text into words, leading to
different readings; one group of manuscripts ("group Y") links them with the "Marsians and Dacians", in eastern
Europe, amongst others.
The Book of Jubilees, from about the same time, makes three references to either Gog or Magog: in the first,
Magog is a descendant of Noah, as in Genesis 10; in the second, Gog is a region next to Japheth's borders; and in
the third, a portion of Japheth's land is assigned to Magog. The 1st-century Liber Antiquitatum Biblicarum,
which retells Biblical history from Adam to Saul, is notable for listing and naming seven of Magog's sons, and
mentions his "thousands" of descendants. The Samaritan Torah and the Septuagint (a Greek translation of the
Hebrew Bible made during the last few centuries of the pre-Christian era) occasionally introduce the name of Gog
where the Hebrew original has something else, or use Magog where the Hebrew has Gog, indicating that the names
were interchangeable.
Chapters 19:11–21:8 of the Book of Revelation, dating from the end of the 1st century AD, tells how Satan is
to be imprisoned for a thousand years, and how, on his release, he will rally "the nations in the four corners of
the Earth, Gog and Magog," to a final battle with Christ and his saints:
"When the thousand years are over, Satan will be released from his prison and will go out to deceive the nations
in the four corners of the Earth—Gog and Magog—and to gather them for battle. In number they are like the sand on
the seashore."
Modern apocalypticism
In the early 19th century, some Chasidic rabbis identified Napoleon's invasion of Russia as
"The War of Gog and Magog". But as the century progressed, apocalyptic expectations
receded as the populace in Europe began to adopt an increasingly secular worldview.
This has not been the case in the United States, where a 2002 poll indicated that 59% of
Americans believed the events predicted in the Book of Revelation would come to pass.
During the Cold War the idea that Russia had the role of Gog gained popularity, since Ezekiel's
words describing him as "prince of Meshek"—rosh meshek in Hebrew—sounded suspiciously like
Russia and Moscow.[15] Even some Russians took up the idea, apparently unconcerned by the
implications ("Ancestors were found in the Bible, and that was enough"), as did Ronald Reagan.
Post–Cold War millenarians still identify Gog with Russia, but they now tend to stress its
allies among Islamic nations, especially Iran. For the most fervent, the countdown to
Armageddon began with the return of the Jews to Israel, followed quickly by further signs
pointing to the nearness of the final battle—nuclear weapons, European integration, Israel's
seizure of Jerusalem, and America's wars in Afghanistan and the Gulf. In the prelude to
the 2003 Invasion of Iraq, President George W. Bush told Jacques Chirac, "Gog and Magog are at
work in the Middle East". "This confrontation", he urged the French leader, "is willed by God,
who wants to use this conflict to erase His people's enemies before a new age begins".
Chirac consulted a professor at the Faculty of Theology of the University of Lausanne to explain
Bush's reference.
In the Islamic apocalyptic tradition, the end of the world would be preceded by the release of
Gog and Magog, whose destruction by God in a single night would usher in the Day of Resurrection.
Reinterpretation did not generally continue after Classical times, but the needs of the modern
world have produced a new body of apocalyptic literature in which Gog and Magog are identified
as the Jews and Israel, or the Ten Lost Tribes, or sometimes as Communist Russia and China.
One problem these writers have had to confront is the barrier holding Gog and Magog back, which
is not to be found in the modern world: the answer varies, some writers saying that Gog and Magog
were the Mongols and that the wall is now gone, others that both the wall and Gog and Magog are
invisible.
In the Fantasy novel "Kar Kaballa" by George H. Smith, the cannibal hordes of Gog, armed with
modern weapons, attack - and come close to overwhelming - a kingdom modeled on Victorian Britain.
