then_o that_o john_n and_o john_n only_o for_o aught_o i_o know_v speak_v of_o this_o new_a jerusalem_n and_o for_o ought_v i_o yet_o see_v that_o which_o have_v be_v already_o propose_v in_o and_o

and_o here_o we_o shall_v inquire_v first_o who_o this_o god_n and_o magog_n may_v be_v and_o whether_o this_o gog_n and_o magog_n mention_v by_o john_n be_v the_o same_o of_o who_o ezekiel_n speak_v

ever_o i_o read_v or_o hear_v of_o any_o one_o nation_n that_o ever_o be_v call_v by_o that_o name_n and_o therefore_o i_o think_v they_o be_v a_o compound_v of_o many_o nation_n represent_v to_o we_o by_o that_o name_n both_o by_o ezekiel_n and_o john_n as_o will_v appear_v by_o compare_v ezekiel_n 38.5_o 6_o with_o rev._n 20.8_o they_o be_v such_o as_o the_o prophet_n of_o old_a have_v speak_v of_o ver_fw-la 17_o by_o some_o other_o name_n the_o next_o thing_n to_o be_v inquire_v into_o be_v whether_o this_o god_n and_o magog_n mention_v by_o ezekiel_n be_v the_o same_o which_o the_o apostle_n john_n speak_v of_o rev_n 20._o for_o clear_v of_o this_o we_o may_v consider_v first_o the_o time_n when_o these_o enemy_n of_o god_n and_o of_o his_o church_n shall_v appear_v in_o arm_n

or_o to_o make_v a_o prey_n of_o they_o as_o ver_fw-la 12._o and_o now_o let_v we_o consider_v whether_o these_o character_n will_v agree_v with_o that_o gog_n and_o magog_n speak_v of_o before_o rev._n 20._o first_o as_o to_o the_o time_n of_o this_o war_n the_o one_o be_v at_o or_o not_o long_o after_o the_o return_n of_o the_o jew_n to_o their_o own_o land_n preparation_n thereunto_o will_v
