king of See also:Lydia) a See also:Hebrew name found in Ezek. xxxviii.-xxxix. and in Rev. xx., and denoting an antitheocratic See also:power that is to See also:manifest itself in the See also:world immediately before 'the final See also:dispensation. In the later passage, Gog and Magog are spoken of as co-See also:ordinate; in the earlier, Gog is given as the name of the See also:person or See also:people and Magog as that of the land of origin. Magog is perhaps a contracted See also:form of See also:Mat-gog, mat being the See also:common See also:Assyrian word for "land." The passages are, however, intimately related

and both depend upon Gen. x. 2, though here Magog alone is mentioned. He is the second "son" of Japhet, and the See also:- ORDER

order of the names here and in See also:Ezekiel xxxviii. 2, indicates a locality between See also:Cappadocia and See also:Media, i.e. in See also:Armenia. According to See also:Josephus, who is followed by See also:Jerome, the Scythians were primarily intended by this designation; and this plausible See also:opinion has been generally followed. The name EKbOai, it is to be observed, however, is often but a vague word for any or all of the numerous and but partially known tribes of the See also:north; and any See also:attempt to assign a more definite locality to Magog can only be very hesitatingly made. According to some, the Maiotes about the Palus Maeotis are meant; according to others, the See also:Massagetae; according to See also:Kiepert, the inhabitants of the See also:northern and eastern parts of Armenia. The imagery employed in Ezekiel's prophetic description was no doubt suggested by the Scythian invasion which about the See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O.

Following on this description, Gog figures largely in Jewish and See also:Mahommedan as well as in See also:Christian See also:eschatology. In the See also:district of See also:Astrakhan a See also:legend is still to be met with, to the effect that Gog and Magog were two See also:great races, which See also:Alexander the Great subdued and banished to the inmost recesses of the See also:Caucasus, where they are meanwhile kept in by the terror of twelve trumpets blown by the winds, but whence they are destined ultimately to make their See also:- ESCAPE (in mid. Eng. eschape or escape, from the O. Fr. eschapper, modern echapper, and escaper, low Lat. escapium, from ex, out of, and cappa, cape, cloak; cf. for the sense development the Gr. iichueoOat, literally to put off one's clothes, hence to sli
escape and destroy the world.
The legends that attach themselves to the gigantic See also:effigies (dating from 1708 and replacing those destroyed in the Great See also:Fire) of Gog and Magog in See also:Guildhall, See also:London, are connected only remotely, if at all, with the biblical notices. According to the Recuyell See also:des histoires de Troye, Gog and Magog were the survivors of a See also:race of giants descended from the See also:thirty-three wicked daughters of See also:Diocletian; after their brethren had been slain by See also:Brute and his companions, Gog and Magog were brought to London (See also:Troy-novant) and compelled to officiate as porters at the See also:gate of the royal See also:palace. It is known that effigies similar to the See also:present existed in London as See also:early as the time of See also:- HENRY

According to See also:Geoffrey of See also:Monmouth (See also:Chronicles, i. 16), Goemot or Goemagot (either corrupted from or corrupted into " Gog and Magog ") was a giant who, along with his See also:brother Corineus, tyrannized in the western See also:horn of See also:England until slain by See also:foreign invaders.
