⁷ “‘Be prepared. Be prepared, you and all the armies that have come together to make you their commander. ⁸ After many days you will be called for service. After many years you will come into a land that has been rebuilt from war. The people in the land will be gathered from many nations to the mountains of Israel. Those mountains were empty for a long time. These people were brought out from the nations. They will all be living in safety. ⁹ And you will go up like a storm. You will be like a cloud covering the land. It will be you, all your troops and many nations with you.
