STRONGS G1136:
Γώγ,
ὁ, (
גּוֹג), indeclinable proper name,
Gog, king of the land of
Magog [which see in
BB. DD.], who it is said in
Ezekiel 38f 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
Revelation 20:8f 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.
