And when the thousand years shall be completed, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison; and he shall go forth to deceive the nations that are in the four corners of the earth, Gog, and Magog, to gather them together to battle, whose number is as the sand of the sea.
It was thus that, after having made the whole hundred tremble at his authority, in the exercise of his office of justice of the peace, he next hoped to conquer the Behemoth, Magog Mowbray himself.
The Baron's retinue is opposed in a heroic style by Don Quixote, who in his turn is attacked by Gog and Magog Lord Whittington, with the Lord Mayor's show, comes to the assistance of Don Quixote Gog and Magog assail his Lordship Lord Whittington makes a speech, and deludes Gog and Magog to his party A general scene of uproar and battle among the company, until the Baron, with great presence of mind, appeases the tumult.
Here they may resemble those great hordes of the North, "Gog and Magog with their bands," that haunted the gloomy imaginations of the prophets. "A great company and a mighty host, all riding upon horses, and warring upon those nations which were at rest, and dwelt peaceably, and had gotten cattle and goods."
Laughing a little over her fancy, yet with something of a creepy sensation in the region of her spine, Anne kissed her hand to Gog and Magog and slipped out into the fog, with some of the new magazines under her arm for Leslie.

Shall you, thus armed with bladders vile, attack my title, eminence, and pomp sublime?
Symbolism has departed from the boards, and burlesque reigns in its stead. The Lord Mavor's Show, the last remnant of the antique spectacular taste, does not move us now; it is held a public nuisance; it provokes the rude "chaff" of the streets. Our very mobs have become critical. Gog and Magog are dethroned. The knight feels the satiric comments through his armour.
A day and night spent in an agony of apprehension came to an end the following morning with the receipt of the following message: Professor Herman Brierly: Go home to New York, you will hear from us there. It was printed on the same cheap notepaper. Again, as the first message, it bore the postmark of Magog. It had no signature.
Miss Maria took out her handkerchief and wiped her eyes; but Miss Patty came resolutely back from the regions of sentiment to those of business. "I shall leave the dogs where they are, if you will promise to be very careful of them," she said. "Their names are Gog and Magog. Gog looks to the right and Magog to the left.
