The Leader(s) of Human Opposition to Christ.
Magog is first mentioned in Genesis 10:1-4, where he is listed
as a son of Japheth, one of the three sons of Noah. The descendants
of Japheth occupied territory to the north of Israel, now
called Europe and Asia. Gog and Magog are mentioned in the
prophetic writings (in Ezekiel chs.38-39; and Revelation ch.20).
In each case the reference is to the same confederacy of nations
from the north, led by Gog (sometimes spelt 'Gogue') which
attacks and threatens:
(i) The regathered nation of Israel, living at peace in their
land, at the time of the return of Christ, and
(ii) The 'camp of the saints' at Jerusalem, at the conclusion
of the millennial reign of Christ.
In each case the armies of Gog are to be destroyed by God's
direct intervention.
