Gog and Magog.

Postby Zazaban » Wed Dec 13, 2006 7:33 pm

What are they?
Justice and equity are twin Guardians that watch over men. From them are revealed such blessed and perspicuous words as are the cause of the well-being of the world and the protection of the nations.

Oxford American Dictionaries: "1 In the Bible, the names of enemies of God's people. In Ezek. 38–9, Gog is apparently a ruler from the land of Magog, while in Rev. 20:8, Gog and Magog are nations under the dominion of Satan."

I mean in Baha'i terms.
Justice and equity are twin Guardians that watch over men. From them are revealed such blessed and perspicuous words as are the cause of the well-being of the world and the protection of the nations.

I know this isn't much help, but I googled it at this site and found two documents with a few mentions of Gog and Magog, enough to give you a sense of what the symbols mean. Click on the following two links and then search for keyword "magog":
