Bible References

Genesis 10:2

Ezekiel 38:2-3, 15

Ezekiel 39:1, 6

(region of Gog), in Genesis 10:2 Magog appears as the second son of Japheth; in Ezekiel 38:2; 39:1, 6 it appears as a country or people of which Gog was the prince. The notices of Magog would lead us to fix a northern locality: It is expressly stated by Ezekiel that “he was to come up from the sides of the north” (Ezekiel 39:2), from a country adjacent to that of Togarmah or Armenia, and not far from “the isles” or maritime regions of Europe (Ezekiel 39:6). The people of Magog further appear as having a force of cavalry (Ezekiel 38:15), and as armed with the bow (Ezekiel 39:3) From the above data, we may conclude that Magog represents the important race of the Scythians.
