Bible Question (short): Gog and Magog from Genesis to Revelation |
Question (full): After doing a search for Gog and Magog I found the following scriptures: Genesis 10:2 The sons of Japheth were Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshech, and Tiras. 1 Chronicles 1:5 The sons of Japheth were Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshech, and Tiras. Ezekiel 38:2 "Son of man, set your face against Gog, of the land of Magog, the prince of Rosh,[38:2 Targum, Vulgate, and Aquila read [chief prince of ] (also verse 3).] Meshech, and Tubal, and prophesy against him, Ezekiel 39:6 "And I will send fire on Magog and on those who live in security in the coastlands. Then they shall know that I am the LORD. Revelation 20:8 and will go out to deceive the nations which are in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle, whose number is as the sand of the sea. Is there something that we should recognize about the battle of Rev 20:8 by considering all of these scriptures together? Is there anything significant to be considered here? Why would Gog and Magog be important enough to mention in the book of Revelation? One strange thing I notice is how Satan is able to decieve the nations to battle even after 1000 years of Christ's rule. Pastor Glenn |
