Who are Gog & Magog? |
The Quran refers to Gog & Magog twice in Quran, in 18:94 &
21:96. It is a great blessing upon us that we have some additional
information about Gog & Magog through Dr. Rashad Khalifa, God's Messenger
of the
Covenant1.
Below are the relevant verses for this topic taken from Dr. Khalifa's
English translation of
Quran2.
[18:93] When he reached the valley between
two palisades, he found people whose language was barely understandable.
[18:94] They said, "O Zul-Qarnain,
Gog and
Magog are corruptors
of the earth. Can we pay you to create a barrier between us and them?"
[18:95] He said, "My Lord has given me great bounties. If you cooperate with
me, I will build a dam between you and them.
[18:96] "Bring to me masses of iron." Once he filled the gap between the
two palisades, he said, "Blow." Once it was red hot, he said, "Help me pour
tar on top of it."
[18:97] Thus, they could not climb it, nor could they bore holes in it.
[18:98] He said, "This is mercy from my Lord. When the prophecy of my Lord
comes to pass, He will cause the dam to crumble. The prophecy of my Lord
is truth."
[18:99] At that time, we will let them invade with one another, then the
horn will be blown, and we will summon them all together.
Footnote for
18:94-98: One of my
duties as God's Messenger of the Covenant is to state that Gog and Magog,
the final sign before the end of the world, will reappear in 2270 AD (1700
AH), just 10 years before the end. Note that Gog and Magog occur in Suras
18 and 21, precisely 17 verses before the end of each sura, representing
17 lunar centuries (see 72:27 and Appendix
25)3.
[21:95] It is forbidden for
any community we had annihilated to return.
[21:96] Not until
Gog and
Magog reappear, will
they then return - they will come from every direction.
[21:97] That is when the inevitable prophecy will come to pass, and the
disbelievers will stare in horror: "Woe to us; we have been oblivious. Indeed,
we have been wicked."
Footnote for
21:96: By the year
2270 AD, thanks to God's mathematical miracle in the Quran (Appendix
1)4, America will be the heart of
Islam5, and billions around the globe will have believed
in the Quran (9:33, 41:53, 48:28, 61:9). Gog and Magog (allegorical names
of villainous communities), will be the only bastions of heathenism, and
they will attack the submitters. That is when the world will end (15:87,
18:94, Appendix 25). Gog and Magog are mentioned in 18:94 & 21:96, 17
verses before the end of each sura; this may indicate the time of their
appearance.
