Revelation 20:8
_ _ Gog and Magog — (Ezekiel 38:1-39:29; see on Ezekiel 38:2). Magog is a general name for northern nations of Japheth’s posterity, whose ideal head is Gog (Genesis 10:2). A has but one Greek article to “Gog and Magog,” whereby the two, namely, the prince and the people, are marked as having the closest connection. B reads the second article before Magog wrongly. Hiller [Onomasticon] explains both words as signifying “lofty,” “elevated.” For “quarters” the Greek is “corners.”
_ _ to battle — Greek, “to the war,” in A and B. But Andreas omits “the.” |
Revelation 20:8
And shall go forth to deceive the nations in the four corners of the earth — (That is, in all the earth) — the more diligently, as he hath been so long restrained, and knoweth he hath but a small time. Gog and Magog — Magog, the second son of Japhet, is the father of the innumerable northern nations toward the east. The prince of these nations, of which the bulk of that army will consist, is termed Gog by Ezekiel also, Ezekiel 38:2. Both Gog and Magog signify high or lifted up; a name well suiting both the prince and people. When that fierce leader of many nations shall appear, then will his own name be known. To gather them — Both Gog and his armies. Of Gog, little more is said, as being soon mingled with the rest in the common slaughter. The Revelation speaks of this the more briefly, because it had been so particularly described by Ezekiel. Whose number is as the sand of the sea — Immensely numerous: a proverbial expression. |
Revelation 20:8
(16) And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom [is] as the sand of the sea.
(16) The work or act of Satan (which is the first part, as I distinguished in the verse before) to deceive the whole world, even to the uttermost nations of it: to arm them against the people of God, in this verse and to besiege and oppress the Church, with his whole strength, in the verse following. |

|
- to gather:
