Magog:
(region of Gog.) In Genesis 10:2 Magog appears as the second son of Japheth; in Ezekiel 38:2; 39:1; 39:6 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, 58:6 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 38:16) and as armed with the bow (Ezekiel 39:3). From the above data, may conclude that Magog represents the important race of the Scythians.
