St. Ephraim of Edessa (d. 373)

埃德萨的圣厄弗瑞 （评注：埃德萨是美索不达米亚古城）

 “In the lastdays Agog and Magog (Ancient Lands in the Middle East, now Iran and Iraq, theCaucasian Mts.,) shall burst forth and come from the land, and Agog and Magogshall ascend to the mountain of Jerusalem, to place their camp there.

「在最后的日子里，哥格和玛哥格（中东的古老土地，现在是伊朗和伊拉克，高加索山脉）将从这片土地上冒出来，哥格和玛哥格将登上耶路撒冷的山，在那里安营。

（评注：哥格和玛哥格应该指的是下面的情况：及至一千年满了，撒殚就要从监牢里被释放出来。他一出来便去迷惑地上四极的万民，就是哥格和玛哥格；他聚集他们准备作战，他们的数目有如海滨的沙粒。默 20:7~8）

And their flying horsemen shall descend into Egypt,and against the Indians.

他们的马兵将下到埃及，攻击印度人。

They shall seize an infinite body of men, of riches,of cattle and sheep, for food for themselves….(i.e, a Muslim invasion) (…) ThenDivine Justice shall call upon Michael, the leader of the Hosts, and send himto destroy their camps; as the camps of Sennacherib.

他们将夺取无数的人、财富、牛羊，作为自己的食物……（亦即是穆斯林入侵）（……）然后神圣的正义将召叫万军的总领天使弥额尔，并送他去摧毁他们的营地；就如散乃黑黎布的营。

At the command, and with his mighty and terriblesword, the Angel shall go forth and destroy their armies in the twinkling of aneye, and in the same moment the Divine Justice, thundering from on high, shalldestroy their camps with rocks of fire.

天使发出命令，用他有力可怕的剑，一眨眼的工夫，就能摧毁他们的军队，同时，神圣的正义，从天上发出雷鸣，用火石摧毁他们的营地。

Their slain shall lie upon the ground, innumerable asthe sands.

被杀的人将躺在地上，多如尘沙。

Beasts and men shall die, and the whole camp shallperish, and flame shall be set loose against the sea and against the islands.

牲畜和人都必死亡，全营都要毁灭。火焰要向海和海岛发散。

The bow of Agog, the evil king, shall fall from hisleft hand, and the arrows from his right (Ez. xxxix:3; and his camp shall bewholly destroyed (...)

邪恶的王哥格的弓必从他的左手落下，箭必从他的右手落下。（厄则克尔3: xx）他的阵营将被彻底摧毁……

Then the Lord from His Glorious heaven shall set uphis peace. And the kingdom of the Romans shall rise in place of this latterpeople and establish its dominion upon the earth, even unto its ends, and thereshall be no-one who will resist it.

主必从祂荣耀的天上建立平安。罗马人的国必兴起，代替这民，在地上建立他的权柄，直到地极，无人能抵挡它。

After iniquity shall have subsequently multiplied andall creatures have become defiled, (I.e., they will grow complacent during thegreat time of peace), then divine justice shall appear and shall wholly destroythe people and coming forth from perdition the man of iniquity shall berevealed upon the earth, the seducer of men and disturber of the whole earth…”

在罪孽随后增多，所有的人都被玷污之后（也就是说，他们在和平的伟大时期会变得自满），然后神圣的正义将显现，将完全摧毁人民，从沉沦中出来的人将在地球上显露出来，他是人类的诱惑者和扰乱整个地球的……。　」
