In the Genesis account of mans creation the Bible speaks of mankind made in Gods image: In Genesis 1:26 [25], Although the prophecy refers to Gog as an enemy in some future, it is not clear if the confrontation is meant to occur in a final "end of days" since the Hebrew term aarit ha-yamim (Hebrew: ) may merely mean "latter days", and is open to interpretation. Rubruck refers Derbent as the "Iron Gate", this also being the meaning of the Turkish name (Demir kapi) for the town.
