[!note]- Gog…
This name, which signifies hidden or covered, is taken in this place, either for the persecutors of the church of God in general, or some arch-persecutor in particular: such as Antichrist shall be in the latter days (see Apocalypse 20:8). And what is said of the punishment of Gog, is verified by the unhappy ends of persecutors. – Ibid. Commentary on the Old Testament (1752)
[!note]- Magog…
Scythia or Tartary, from whence the Turks, and other enemies of the church of Christ, originally sprung. Commentary on the Old Testament (1752)
