fi 60 ■ GOG 
^agTig was the father or founder of the genuine f cytha?, 
and that Hierapolis in Syria, was in early times called 
the a','y of Magog. Bochart has placed Gog in the neigh- 
loiirhood of Caiicafus. He derives tlie name of this 
ctlebrated mountain from the Hebrew Qog chafan, “ tlie 
fcrlrefs of Gog.” He maintains tivat Prometheus, faid 
to be ch"ined to Caucafus by Jupiter, is Gog, and no 
other, ^'here is a province in Iberia called the Goga- 
rene. But the generality of commentators believe, that 
Gog and Magog, mentioned in Ezekiel and the Reve¬ 
lations, are to be taken in an allegorical fenfe, for fuch 
princes as were enemies to the cholen people of God. 
Tlius by Gog in Ezekiel, they underitand Antiochus 
Epiphanes, tlie perfecutor of thofe jews who were firm 
to their religion ; and by tlie perfon of the fame name 
in the Revelations, tltey fuppofe Anticlirifl to be meant; 
th.e great enemy of the churcli and faithful. Some 
have endeavoured to prove tiiat Gog, fpoken of in 
Ezekiel, and Cambyf9s king of Periia, were one and 
rlie fame perfon ; and titat Gog and Magog in the Re¬ 
velations denote all the enemies of the church, who 
Ihotild be perfecutors of it to tlic confummation of ages.
