The Meaning of Gog and Magog

Gog and Magog from xx. 7, 8

When, therefore, the thousand years shall have expired then Satan will be loosed from his captivity in the dark valley. This resurrection of Evil Sparks may, by one historic ray, be construed to mean the second resurrection. This experience, however, instead of serving as a warning evidently is used by Satan as a means for deceiving the hosts that constitute his army in its relation to the Law pertaining to the four quarters of the earth as the Four Ages of Man. By the entering in of the Law in the Euphratic Age the ministration of death shall be fulfilled upon the transgressor; the term “Gog and Magog” being defined to mean “roof or covering” and “roof that covers” thereby comprehending, in these premises, the operations of Lucifer “the anointed cherub that covereth.” By the return from the dark valley, therefore, Satan can easily deceive his host into the belief that he triumphs over death through his own power, and, hence, that life is assured to them forever. Through the contiguity of good and evil in each and every entity Satan’s army is as the sand of the sea for number, even as, through the Divine Sparks, the seed of Abraham is as the stars of heaven, the dust of the earth, and the sand that is by the seashore for number.

The Thousand Years are 2853 to 3853 AD
