Downfall of paganism,
preached by Hebrew
prophets with Gog and Magog -- two pagan rulers
who allied themselves with Satan in Revelations. Here, God is striking
them down.
Revelations 20:7-9
7) And when
the thousand years
are completed, Satan will be released from his prison,
8) and will
come out to deceive
the nations which are in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog,
to gather them together for war; the number of them is like the sand of
the seashore.
9) And they
came up on the
broad plain of the earth and surrounded the camp of the saints and the
beloved city, and fire came down from heaven and devoured them.
