Magog

Japheth's son, Genesis

Magog appears in the Bible as a person, a people, and a land, often paired with Gog in apocalyptic prophecy.

In Ezekiel, Gog is a ruler from the land of Magog who will invade Israel before being destroyed by God.

In Revelation, Gog and Magog are nations deceived by Satan for a final battle.

The phrase Gog and Magog has come to represent any fearsome enemies or forces of chaos marshaled against the righteous.
