Gog
Thayer's Greek Lexicon
Γώγ, ὁ (âÌåâ), indeclinable proper name, Gog, king of the land of Magog (which see in BB. DD.), who it is said in Eze 38:1-23 f will come from the remote north, with innumerable hosts of his own nation as well as of allies, and will attack the people of Israel, re-established after the exile; but by divine interposition he will be utterly destroyed. Hence, in Rev 20:8 f ὁ Γώγ and ὁ Μαγώγ are used collectively to designate the nations that at the close of the millennial reign, instigated by Satan, will break forth from the four quarters of the earth against the Messiah’s kingdom, but will be destroyed by fire from heaven.
