Ezechiel Chapter 38
Gog shall persecute the church in the latter days. He shall be overthrown.
38:1. And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
38:2. Son of man, set thy face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince of Mosoch and Thubal: and prophesy of him,
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 Apoc. 20.8. And what is said of the punishment of Gog, is verified by the unhappy ends of persecutors.-Ibid. Magog... Scythia or Tartary, from whence the Turks, and other enemies of the church of Christ, originally sprung.
38:3. And say to him: Thus saith the Lord God: Behold, I come against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Mosoch and Thubal.
38:4. And I will turn thee about, and I will put a bit in thy jaws: and I will bring thee forth, and all thy army, horses and horsemen all clothed with coats of mail, a great multitude, armed with spears and shields and swords.
38:5. The Persians, Ethiopians, and Libyans with them, all with shields and helmets.
38:6. Gomer, and all his bands, the house of Thogorma, the northern parts and all his strength, and many peoples with thee.
38:7. Prepare and make thyself ready, and all thy multitude that is assembled about thee, and be thou commander over them.
