Μαγώγ G3098
Magog, nation allied with Gog in eschatological battle
Magog appears in Genesis 10:2 as a descendant of Japheth and in Ezekiel 38-39 as a people allied with Gog in an end-time invasion of Israel. Revelation 20:8 employs the names symbolically for nations deceived by Satan after the millennium, gathered for final battle against God's people. The identification remains debated, with suggestions ranging from Scythians to symbolic representation of hostile nations.
Senses
1. sense 1 — Revelation 20:8 uses Gog and Magog to represent the nations from the four corners of the earth gathered for eschatological warfare against the saints. Drawing on Ezekiel's prophecy, John employs these names symbolically for end-time opposition to God's kingdom. The multilingual glosses preserve the proper name, recognizing Magog as part of apocalyptic imagery for forces arrayed against divine purposes. 1×
