b Alternatively, the report “out of the north” could prove to originate with Jehovah, in view of his words to Gog: “I shall certainly . . . put hooks in your jaws and bring you forth.” “I will . . . cause you to come up from the remotest parts of the north and bring you in upon the mountains of Israel.”​—Ezekiel 38:4; 39:2; compare Psalm 48:2.
