 “And you, son of man, prophesy against Gog, and say, ‘Thus says the Lord God: “Behold, I am against you, O Gog, the prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal;” Ezekiel 39:1

This chapter of Ezekiel leads up to the Battle of Armageddon, the final battle of this earth, and then gives a glimpse into the day after on this earth. The Battle of Armageddon is the Sixth Plague, and the return of Jesus Christ is the Seventh Plague and Seventh Trumpet.

Today, the territory of Magog would include the countries north of Jerusalem, such as Turkey, Europe, Russia, and perhaps China. Gog is the ruler over all the armies coming against Israel, he is known as Gog of Magog. Meshech and Tubal were the sons of Japheth, the son of Noah, and they migrated to the modern-day area of Russia. At the time of this scripture, they have countries named after them. Gog has all of those countries with him and many more, such as Persia, Ethiopia, Libya, Gomer, and the house of Togarmah from the far north, as quoted in Ezekiel 38:4-6

Ezekiel 38:1-3 starts off the same way. God is against Gog of Magog.

In this chapter of Ezekiel, like in Ezekiel 38, Gog of Magog is described as an earthly and ferocious leader of ruthless armies and many people. They are prophesied to come against Israel like a cloud and a storm. Today on this earth, we can see “Gog of Magog” as the atheistic, unmerciful, and ferocious armies of the world government of the beast and its global culture. They come against Israel like a cloud and a storm. They all meet their destruction in the very last of the last days on this earth.

Gog and Magog is also mentioned in Revelation 20:7-10 and gathered by Satan in an attempt to destroy the resurrected saints of the “1000 year” reign with Jesus Christ on this earth. Satan is destroyed and thrown into the eternal lake of fire, where the beast and second beast (false prophet) will be waiting for him. Click here for a post on the “1000 years” and the destruction of Satan and Gog of Magog.

Gog is mentioned here in verse 1, and Magog is mentioned in verse 6, and represents the Satanic force that attacks Israel.

“….to you who do not hold to her teaching and have not learned Satan’s so-called deep secrets,“
‘I will not impose any other burden on you, except to hold on to what you have until I come.’”
“I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown.”
Revelation 2:24-25, 3:11
