Part 1

Gog and Magog are mentioned in the Bible as significant figures connected to prophecies about the end of the world. Magog is described as one of Noah’s grandsons (Gen 10:2), representing a people or nation from the north. In Ezekiel 38 and 39, we learn that Gog is a leader from the land of Magog who will assemble an army to fight against Israel in a future conflict. This battle showcases God’s power as He protects His people. Later, in Revelation 20:7-8, Gog and Magog symbolize nations from around the world uniting to challenge God’s followers, but God will ultimately defeat them.1

Part 2

This is Part 2 of a two-part series on how Islam views the War of Gog and Magog, which is found within Ezekiel 38 and 39 in the Bible. In Part 1 we discussed the research of Shaykh Ridhwan Ibn Saleem, who is the chairman of the Ha Meem Foundation and a senior lecturer at the London College of Islamic Studies. Part 1 covered who Saleem believes Gog and Magog are, and now in Part 2 we will discuss what this means in light of the crises in the Middle East and how Islamic countries like Iran view Israel and the West.
