Overview
Gog represents a powerful military leader or kingdom that will lead a coalition of nations against Israel in the latter days. Ezekiel prophesies this invasion will occur when Israel is restored to their land, living in relative peace and security. God will supernaturally intervene to defeat this coalition, displaying His power and vindicating His name before the nations.
