MAGOG

MAGOG

A people descended from Japheth (Gen. 10:2), dwelling in a northern country (Ez. 38:2, 15).
Josephus identifies Magog with the Scythians (Ant. 1:6, 1).

Ezekiel prophetically proclaims the final triumph of God’s program: the king of Magog and his hordes are destroyed by invading the lands of Israel.

Magog appears again in Rev. 20:8, 9. (For more details, see GOG, which discusses its chronological situation.)
