Exegesis

The accusative phrase ton Gōg kai Magōg {τὸν Γὼγ καὶ Μαγώγ | tón Gōg kai Ma-gṓg} stands in apposition to “the nations,” presenting Gog and Magog as representative or symbolic hostile powers.

A second infinitive, synagagein {συναγαγεῖν | sy-na-ga-geîn}, coordinated conceptually with planēsai, expresses the further purpose “to gather,” with autous {αὐτούς | au-toús} as its object and the prepositional phrase eis ton polemon {εἰς τὸν πόλεμον | eis tón pó-le-mon} indicating purpose or result, “for the war.”

In contextRevelation 20:8

And he will go out to deceive the nations that are in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them for war; their number is like the sand of the sea.
