| − | In the [[Old Testament]] book of Ezekiel (chapters 38 and 39), Gog (Hebrew ''גּוֹג'', etymology unclear) is introduced, the prince of Meshech and Tubal and who lives in the land of Magog; both chapters describe a war undertaken against the land of Israel, with resultant heavy losses. In the New Testament, Gog and Magog go into battle with the devil on the last day, but would be defeated by the divine Christ in the end ([[Revelation, Chapter 20|Rev 20:8]]). The apocalyptic motif of Gog and Magog was widespread in Europe and the Middle East since late antiquity and the early Christian Middle Ages and was interwoven with various traditions and legends. | + | In the [[Old Testament]] book of Ezekiel (chapters 38 and 39),<ref>https://outorah.org/p/3710/</ref> Gog (Hebrew ''גּוֹג'', etymology unclear) is introduced, the prince of Meshech and Tubal and who lives in the land of Magog; both chapters describe a war undertaken against the land of Israel, with resultant heavy losses.
