Destruction of Gog
And I will send a fire on Magog, and among them that dwell carelessly in the isles: and they shall know that I [am] the LORD. Eze. 39:6
fire on Magog... It seems that Magog will be the chief hater of the Jews; it is thus singled out along with the maritime countries as the object of God’s wrath. This is perhaps why both Gog, the prince, and the land of Magog are mentioned in particular in Rev. 20:7-10 in connection with the last rebellion against God on earth, which will take place 1,000 years later.
and among them... This could be speaking of a war and bombs, possibly. Even though these are doing the fighting, the judgment is from God. God is just using them to bring the judgment. There will be no question that God is God.
God will also punish the homelands of the invaders: I will send fire on Magog and on those who live in safety in the coastlands. Sending fire implies destruction and military devastation (Eze. 30:8, 30:14,30:16; cf. Hos. 8:14; Amos 1:4, 1:7, 1:10, 1:14; 2:2, 2:5).
