The Gog Oracles' (Ezek 38-39) reuse of antecedent scripture is crucial to their purpose and meaning. The pattern of continuous allusion in the Gog Oracles reflects something more than a writer saturated with scriptural idiom. It is a practice of disciplined and deliberate reference to select texts on select themes. William A. Tooman shows that recognizing the volume and density of scriptural reuse within the Gog Oracles is indispensable for understanding these chapters' role within the book, its composition, and its place within Second Temple literature. A close examination of the methods, effects, and motives of scriptural reuse that are evident within the Gog oracles reveals that these chapters are a unified composition that was crafted as a supplement to a book of Ezekiel, in order to fill gaps in the book's message and to harmonize the book with other traditions of prophetic revelation.

The names 'Gog' and 'Magog' are found in the Old Testament, in the Pseud-Epigrapha and the Qumran-writings, in the Targums and in other Jewish texts, in the New Testament, in the wirtings of the Church Fathers, and even in the Koran. In most aof these texts Gog and Magog are persons or nations opposing God's people in the endtime-tribulations.Sverre Boe focuses on John's use of various Gog and Magog traditions in Revelation 19,17-20,10. He assembles all these traditions and also refers to several hundreds of scholarly works on these many texts. He further contributes to the ongoing discussions about the inter-textual relationship between Revelation and the Old Testament. He argues that John used Ezekiel 38-39 extensively, and that there are structural analogies beween Rev. 19,11-22,5 and Ezek. 36-48. Although Sverre Boe does not raise the fundamental questions about the co-called millennium in Rev. 20 as such, he givesmany implications for that issue also. Finally he concludes that Revelation does not see Gog and Magog as Israel's enemies in an ethnic sense, since John seems to universalize his pre-texts to fit the New Testament notion of God's people as comprising Christians of all nations.

Alexander's alleged Wall against Gog and Magog, often connected with the enclosure of the apocalyptic people, was a widespread theme among Syriac Christians in Mesopotamia. In the ninth century Sallam the Interpreter dictated an account of his search for the barrier to the Arab geographer Ibn Khurradadhbih. The reliability of Sallam's journey from Samarra to Western China and back (842-45), however, has always been a highly contested issue. Van Donzel and Schmidt consider the travel account as historical. This volume presents a translation of the source while at the same time it carefully looks into other Eastern Christian and Muslim traditions of the famous lore. A comprehensive survey reconstructs the political and topographical data. As so many other examples, also this story pays witness to the influence of the Syriac Christian tradition on Koran and Muslim Traditions.

Gog and Magog is a religious chronicle in fictional form. Its heroes are Hasidic rapbis. Its background is the Napoleonic wars at the end of the eighteenth century. Its scene is laid in Poland and Hungary. Although magic and superstition play their parts in the story, it is really Buber's effort to articulate two approaches to the question: May men use evil to accomplish good? May men take power in their own hands—even to do the work of redemption—without submitting first to the will of God? More particularly Buber unfolds the inner world of messianic longing and expectation that characterized Judaism then and continues to characterize it to the present day.

GOG MAGOG: This is the English version of of my urdu book Yajuj Majuj (Fitna). I have written three books in Urdu (1) Yajuj Majuj (Fitna) (2) Yajuj Majuj (Yalghaar) (3) Qayamat (Mazhab Or Science). In Judaism, Christianity and Islam, there is a mention of a mysterious race of human beings called "Gog and Magog" (Yajuj and Majuj in Arabic). Several predictions have been made about which group of people this can be, however till date our understanding is far from being complete. I was told about the stories of Gog and Magog during my childhood by my mother and some other people. Since then, I have always been curious about their existence, their powers and why they have been specifically called out in.Gog and Magog are two nomadic and fierce nations or tribes who will attack on civilized nations near Qayyamat. From centuries Jews, Christians and Muslims are expecting Gog and Magog's (Yajuj Majuj) attack on civilized nations near the Qayamat (Doomsday). They are strange, mysterious and fierce nations who will attack on civilized nations before Qayamat (Doomsday). Their appearance and their location is mentioned in Torait (Torah), Bible and Holy Quran. I have described their location and appearance with the help of maps and pictures. For this topic help have been taken from Bible, Holy Quran and Ahadees e Nabvi (sayings of Holy prophet) and some other books and articles. In this book I have explained who are Gog Magog and what their location is. Who is Dhul Qarnayn?There is a mix opinion about Dhul Qarnayn, Some Muslim scholars thought that Dhul-Qarnayn may be Cyrus the Great instead of Alexander the Great. Some Muslim and other commentators have identified Dhul Qarnayn with Alexander the Great and some think that he was some other person. There are four persons in history who were thought to be Dhul Qarnayn. Alexander the great and Cyrus the great both have travelled in the direction of the east and the west to conquer different countries. They both have reached far east at that time and nearly the same stories and incidents are narrated about both of them that's why scholars are confused about them. Cyrus was the first person to conquer the vast land in the past and it appears that Alexander was impressed by Cyrus the great and he copied him. Alexander, which no doubt these same accounts existed in his time, himself consciously mimicked Dhul Qarnain, likewise traveling from the east to the west on a famous Journey, but he never reached the west coast of Africa and didn't go past India to the east. Cyrus was also mentioned in old Testament: "This is what the Lord says to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I take hold of to subdue nations before him and to strip kings of their armor." (Isaiah, 45:1)Location of The Wall:That wall was built between Derbent and Daryal, two cities of Dagistan in the Caucasus, the land that lies between the Black Sea and the Caspian. There are high mountains between the Black Sea and Daryal having deep gorges which cannot allow large armies to pass through them. Between Derbent and Dar'yal, however, there are no such mountains and the passes also are wide and passable. In ancient times savage hordes from the north invaded and ravaged southern lands through these passes and the Persian rulers who were scared of them had to build a strong wall, 50 miles long, 29 feet high and 10 feet wide, for fortification purposes, ruins of which can still be seen.Who are Gog and Magog?Muslim geographers identified them at first with Turkic tribes from Central Asia and later with the Mongols. Historically speaking, Magog was a grandson of Noah (Genesis 10:2). The descendants of Magog settled to the far north of Israel, likely in Europe and northern Asia (Ezekiel 38:2). Magog seems to be used to refer to "northern barbarians" in general, but likely also has a connection to Magog the person. The people of Magog are described as skilled warriors (Ezekiel 38:15; 39:3-9). Gog is described as "....
