In the Douay-Rheims, specifically in Ezechiel 38:2, God foretells that nation called Gog will encompass Israel and occupy it before being ultimately destroyed by God Himself. There is a footnote in the DRB that says Gog originally referred to the Turkics from Scythia and Tartary, and Khazars (who contribute a good portion of the modern jew's genes, according to some theory) are a Turkhic race from the Scytian/Tartarian region. It would certainly explain why the (((Scofield Translation))) is so eager to instead place Gog in the Russian region, at a time when the jews were preparing to seize power in Russia.
> Gog. This name, which signifies hidden, or covered, is taken in this place either for the persecutors of the Church of God in general, or some arch persecutor in particular; such as Antichrist shall be in the latter days. See Apocalypse xx. 8.
>
> And what is said of the punishment of Gog, is verified by the unhappy end of persecutors. Magog. Scythia or Tartary, whence the Turks and other enemies of the Church of Christ originally sprung.

> (Challoner) These are supposed to be the princes of some northern and barbarous country, (Worthington) peopled by the son of Japhet. (St. Jerome) St. Augustine (City of God xx. 11.) observes, that as the Church is spread everywhere, so also are persecutors. But Christ will overcome them all.

> (Worthington) This prophecy is very difficult. It seems literally to refer to Cambyses, who invaded Judea about seventy years after the temple had been destroyed, and perished by the hand of God, at Ecbatana, upon Mount Carmel. It is very usual with the prophets to give fictitious names; as the king of Tyre is called a cherub, and Jerusalem Ooliba.

> Cambyses ruled over Scythia, in Iberia; styled Gogarene, by Strabo (xi.). (Calmet) The proper Scythia withstood all the attempts of his successors, and defeated Darius. (Haydock)
