Berean Strong's Lexicon Góg: Gog Original Word: Γώγ Word Origin: Of Hebrew origin (גּוֹג, H1463) Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - H1463 (גּוֹג, Gog): Refers to the leader of a hostile force against Israel in Ezekiel 38-39. Usage: In the New Testament, "Gog" is a symbolic name representing a leader or a nation that opposes God and His people. It is used in apocalyptic literature to describe a future enemy of God's people, often associated with the end times. Cultural and Historical Background: The name "Gog" first appears in the Old Testament, specifically in the book of Ezekiel (chapters 38-39), where Gog is depicted as a prince of the land of Magog, leading a coalition of nations against Israel. This imagery is rooted in the ancient Near Eastern context, where powerful kings and their armies often threatened smaller nations. In the New Testament, particularly in the book of Revelation, Gog is used symbolically to represent the ultimate opposition to God's kingdom, drawing on the apocalyptic themes of final judgment and divine victory.

Thayer's Greek Lexicon STRONGS NT 1136: ΓώγΓώγ, ὁ (גּוג), 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.
