Modern apocalypticism[edit]
In the early 19th century, some
Hasidic rabbis identified the
French invasion of Russia under
Napoleon as "The War of Gog and Magog".
[139] But as the century progressed, apocalyptic expectations receded as the populace in Europe began to adopt an increasingly secular worldview.
[140] This has not been the case in the United States, where a 2002 poll indicated that 59% of Americans believed the events predicted in the Book of Revelation would come to pass.
[141] During the
Cold War the idea that
Soviet Russia had the role of Gog gained popularity, since Ezekiel's words describing him as "prince of Meshek" –
rosh meshek in Hebrew – sounded suspiciously like Russia and Moscow.
[18] Even some Russians took up the idea, apparently unconcerned by the implications ("Ancestors were found in the Bible, and that was enough"), as did
Ronald Reagan.
[142][143]
Some post-Cold War
millenarians still identify Gog with Russia, but they now tend to stress its allies among Islamic nations, especially
Iran.
[144] For the most fervent, the countdown to
Armageddon began with the
return of the Jews to Israel, followed quickly by further signs pointing to the nearness of the final battle – nuclear weapons,
European integration, Israel's
reunification of Jerusalem in the
Six Day War in 1967, and America's wars in
Afghanistan and the
Persian Gulf.
[145] According to an unconfirmed report, US President
George W. Bush, in the prelude to the
2003 Invasion of Iraq, told French President
Jacques Chirac, "Gog and Magog are at work in the Middle East." Bush is said to have continued, "This confrontation is willed by God, who wants to use this conflict to erase His people's enemies before a new age begins."
[146] Officials from the Bush Administration claim there is no record of this conversation and that making such references, "doesn't sound at all like Bush", and French officials on the call have similarly claimed to have not heard any such remarks.
