Ezekiel 38:1-17
Now The Word of The LORD (God
Almighty) came to me (Ezekiel), saying, “Son of man, set Your (Ezekiel’s) Face AGAINST
Gog, of The Land of Magog, The Prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal, and Prophesy
AGAINST Him (Gog), and say, ‘Thus Says The LORD GOD: Behold, I (God Almighty) AM AGAINST YOU, O Gog, The Prince of
Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal. I (God
Almighty) will Turn YOU (Gog) Around, Put Hooks into Your (Gog’s) Jaws, and LEAD
YOU (Gog) Out, with All Your (Gog) Army, horses, and horsemen, All splendidly
clothed, a Great Company with
bucklers and shields, All of them (Gog’s Army) handling swords. Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya are with Them
(Gog’s Army), all of them with
shield and helmet; Gomer and all its troops; The House of Togarmah from The Far North and all its
troops, many people are with
YOU (Gog).
“Prepare Yourself (Gog) and be
ready, YOU (Gog) and All Your (Gog’s) Companies that are gathered about YOU
(Gog); and be a guard for them (Gog’s Companies). After Many Days YOU (Gog) will be VISITED. In The Latter Years YOU (Gog) will come into
The Land of Those (God Almighty’s People, Israel) brought back from the sword and gathered from many people on The
Mountains of Israel, which had long been DESOLATE; They (God Almighty’s People,
Israel) were brought out of The Nations, and now All of Them (God Almighty’s
People, Israel) Dwell Safely. YOU (Gog)
will ascend, coming like a storm, covering the land like a cloud, YOU (Gog) and
All Your (Gog’s) Troops and Many Peoples with YOU (Gog).”
‘Thus says The LORD GOD: “On That Day
it shall come to pass that
thoughts will arise in Your (Gog’s) Mind, and YOU (Gog) will make an Evil Plan:
YOU (Gog) will say, ‘I (Gog) will go up against a Land of Unwalled Villages; I (Gog)
will go to a Peaceful People (God Almighty’s People, Israel), who Dwell Safely,
All of Them (God Almighty’s People, Israel) dwelling without walls, and having
neither bars nor gates’, to take plunder and to take booty, to stretch out Your
(Gog’s) Hand AGAINST the waste places that
are again inhabited, and AGAINST a People (God Almighty’s People,
Israel) GATHERED from The Nations, who have acquired livestock and goods, who
dwell in The Midst of The Land. Sheba,
Dedan, The Merchants of Tarshish, and All Their Young Lions will say to YOU
(Gog), ‘Have YOU (Gog) come to take plunder? Have YOU (Gog) gathered Your (Gog’s) Army to
take booty, to carry away silver and gold, to take away livestock and goods, to
take great plunder?’”’
“Therefore, son of man (Ezekiel), Prophesy
and say to Gog, ‘Thus says The LORD GOD: “On That Day when My (God Almighty’s) People
Israel Dwell Safely, will YOU (Gog) NOT know it? Then YOU (Gog) will
come from Your (Gog’s) Place Out of The Far North, YOU (Gog) and Many Peoples
with YOU (Gog), All of them (Gog’s Army) riding on horses, a Great Company and
a Mighty Army. YOU (Gog) will come up AGAINST
My (God Almighty’s) People Israel like a cloud, to cover the land. It will be in The Latter Days that I (God
Almighty) will bring YOU (Gog) AGAINST My (God Almighty’s) Land, so that The Nations
may KNOW Me (God Almighty), when I (God Almighty) AM Hallowed in YOU, O Gog,
before Their Eyes.” Thus says The LORD
GOD: “Are YOU (Gog), He (Gog)
of whom I (God Almighty) have SPOKEN in Former Days by My (God Almighty’s) Servants,
The Prophets of Israel, who Prophesied for years in Those Days that I (God
Almighty) would bring YOU (Gog) AGAINST Them (God Almighty’s People, Israel)?
Ezekiel 38:18-23
“And it will come to pass at The
Same Time, when Gog comes AGAINST The Land of Israel,” says The LORD GOD, “that My (God Almighty’s) Fury will SHOW
in My (God Almighty’s) Face. For in My (God
Almighty’s) Jealousy and in The
Fire of My (God Almighty’s) Wrath I (God Almighty) have Spoken: ‘Surely in That
Day there shall be a Great Earthquake in The Land of Israel, so that the fish
of The Sea, the birds of The Heavens, the beasts of the field, all creeping
things that creep on The Earth, and All Men who are on The Face of The Earth shall SHAKE at My (God Almighty’s) Presence. The mountains shall be THROWN DOWN, the steep
places shall FALL, and every wall shall FALL to the ground.’ I (God Almighty) will Call for a Sword AGAINST
Gog throughout All My (God Almighty’s) Mountains,” says The LORD GOD. “Every man’s sword will be AGAINST his
brother. And I (God Almighty) will bring
Him (Gog) to JUDGMENT with Pestilence and Bloodshed; I (God Almighty) will RAIN
DOWN on Him (Gog), on His (Gog’s) Troops, and on The Many Peoples who are with Him (Gog), Flooding Rain,
Great Hailstones, Fire, and Brimstone. Thus
I (God Almighty) will MAGNIFY Myself (God Almighty) and SANCTIFY Myself (God
Almighty), and I (God Almighty) will be KNOWN in The Eyes of Many Nations. Then They (The Many Nations) shall KNOW that
I (God Almighty) AM The LORD.”’
Ezekiel 39:1-10
“And YOU, son of man (Ezekiel), Prophesy AGAINST Gog,
and say, ‘Thus says The LORD GOD: “Behold, I (God Almighty) AM AGAINST YOU, O Gog, The Prince of
Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal; and I (God Almighty) will Turn YOU (Gog) Around and Lead
YOU (Gog) on, bringing YOU (Gog) up from The Far North, and bring YOU (Gog) AGAINST
The Mountains of Israel. Then I (God
Almighty) will KNOCK the bow out of Your Left (Gog’s) Hand, and cause the
arrows to FALL OUT of Your (Gog’s) Right Hand.
YOU (Gog) shall FALL upon The Mountains of Israel, YOU (Gog) and All
Your (Gog’s) Troops and The Peoples who are
with YOU (Gog); I (God Almighty) will give YOU (Gog) to birds of prey of every
sort and to the beasts of the
field to be DEVOURED. YOU (Gog) shall FALL
on the open field; for I (God Almighty) have SPOKEN,” says The LORD GOD. “And I (God Almighty) will SEND Fire on Magog
and on those who live in security in The Coastlands. Then they shall KNOW that I (God Almighty) AM The LORD. So I (God Almighty) will make My Holy (God
Almighty) Name KNOWN in The Midst of My People Israel, and I (God Almighty) will
NOT let Them (God Almighty’s
People, Israel) PROFANE My Holy (God Almighty) Name ANYMORE. Then The Nations shall KNOW that I (God Almighty) AM The LORD, The
Holy One in Israel. Surely it is COMING,
and it shall be DONE,” says The LORD GOD.
“This is The Day of
which I (God Almighty) have SPOKEN.
“Then Those (The People of Israel) who dwell in The Cities
of Israel will go out and set on fire and burn the weapons, both the shields
and bucklers, the bows and arrows, the javelins and spears; and They (The
People of Israel) will make fires with them (the weapons) for Seven Years. They (The People of Israel) will NOT take
wood from the field NOR cut down any
from the forests, because They (The People of Israel) will make fires with the
weapons; and They (The People of Israel) will plunder those who plundered Them
(The People of Israel), and pillage those who pillaged Them (The People of
Israel),” says The LORD GOD (God Almighty).
Ezekiel 39:11-16
“It will come to pass in That Day that I (God Almighty) will give Gog a
burial place there in Israel, The Valley of those who pass by East of The Sea;
and it will obstruct travelers, because there They (The People of Israel) will
bury Gog and All His (Gog’s) Multitude. Therefore
They (The People of Israel) will call it
The Valley of Hamon Gog. For Seven
Months The House of Israel will be burying them, in order to CLEANSE The Land. Indeed All The People of The Land will be
burying, and They (The People of Israel) will gain RENOWN for it on The Day
that I (God Almighty) AM Glorified,” says The LORD GOD. “They (The People of Israel) will set apart
men, regularly employed, with the help of a Search Party, to pass through The Land
and bury those bodies remaining on the ground, in order to CLEANSE it. At the end of Seven Months, They (The Search
Party) will make a search. The Search Party
will pass through The Land; and when ANYONE
sees a man’s bone, he shall set up a marker by it, till the buriers have buried
it in The Valley of Hamon Gog. The name of The City will
also be Hamonah. Thus They (The Search Party) shall CLEANSE
The Land.”’
