But, all the time, you can see that it is Gog that is doing the fighting. The fearful onslaught breaks first upon him; and the force of the attack is broken by the time it reaches Magog. It may be that Gog is very fond of Magog, and, pitying his frailty, seeks to shelter him. It certainly looks like it. But, if so, it is a mistaken kindness.
And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog, and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea. And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them.
At one end of the hall, under one of the great painted windows, stand three or four old statues of mediaeval kings, whose identities I forget; and in the two corners of the opposite end are two gigantic absurdities of painted wood, with grotesque visages, whom I quickly recognized as Gog and Magog.
But that measure is slow, let me give you one," said Ralph. Come, drink until you drop, my boys, And if a headache follow, Why, go to bed and sleep it off, And drink again tomorrow. Martin began to fear that the wine was suffocating his conscience in its fumes and said: "I must go now." "We will all go with you." "Magog won't let us out."

By way of rewarding his piety, God granted Hezekiah a brilliant victory over Sennacherib. This Assyrian king, who had conquered the whole world, equipped an army against Hezekiah like unto which there is none, unless it be the army of the four kings whom Abraham routed, or the army to be raised by God and Magog in the Messianic time.
And maybe it will be some friend of ours, stopping at the Magog House. He wears a white helmet-hat; and isn't that a yachting-suit of white flannel?" "He comes clothed as an angel of light," said Adam. They both watched the figure and the boat growing larger in perspective.

When the great Tartar invasion came in the thirteenth century, it was natural to suppose that these were no less than the Gog and Magog of legend. So, too, the position of Paradise was fixed in the extreme east, or, in other words, at the top of mediæval maps.
"You don't seem to fancy it, I say. I don't wonder. Never mind, I shan't lick you unless you make me." "Thanks," said Reginald, drily, but scarcely able to conceal a smile at this magnanimous declaration. "Magog" worked busily away, putting away cases in the rack, dusting the frame down with his apron, and whistling softly to himself.
