Satan's vicious assault is vividly described in Ezekiel chapter 38. There, the debased Satan is called "Gog of the land of Magog." Jehovah puts figurative hooks in Gog's jaws, drawing him and his numerous military force to the attack. How does he do this? By causing God to see His witnesses as a defenseless people "gathered together out of the nations, one that is accumulating wealth and property, those who are dwelling in the center of the earth." These hold the center stage on earth as the one people to have refused to worship the wild beast and its image. Their spiritual strength and prosperity enrage Gog. So Gog and his numerous military force, including the wild beast out of the sea with it ten horns, swarm in for the kill. Unlike Babylon the Great, however, God's clean people enjoy divine protection! - EZEKIEL 38:1, 4, 11, 12, 15; REVELATION 13:1.
