The direction 'from the north' was historically associated with threat in biblical tradition. Gog will arrive not as a small raiding party but as 'a great company, and a mighty army,' mounted on horses and accompanied by multiple allied peoples.

The scale and military organization emphasize that this is a major invasion, not a minor incursion. All the elements of a serious military campaign—numerous allies, mounted cavalry, organized companies—come together in this assault.
