Ezekiel 38:17-39:6

Living Bible

¹⁷ The Lord God says: “You are the one I spoke of long ago through the prophets of Israel, saying that after many years had passed, I would bring you against my people. ¹⁸ But when you come to destroy the land of Israel, my fury will rise! ¹⁹ For in my jealousy and blazing wrath, I promise a mighty shaking in the land of Israel on that day. ²⁰ All living things shall quake in terror at my presence; mountains shall be thrown down; cliffs shall tumble; walls shall crumble to the earth. ²¹ I will summon every kind of terror against you,” says the Lord God, “and you will fight against yourselves in mortal combat! ²² I will fight you with sword, disease, torrential floods, great hailstones, fire, and brimstone! ²³ Thus will I show my greatness and bring honor upon my name, and all the nations of the world will hear what I have done and know that I am God!

39 “Son of dust, prophesy this also against Gog. Tell him:

“‘I stand against you, Gog, leader of Meshech and Tubal. ² I will turn you and drive you toward the mountains of Israel, bringing you from the distant north. And I will destroy 85 percent of your army^[a] in the mountains. ³ I will knock your weapons from your hands and leave you helpless. ⁴ You and all your vast armies will die upon the mountains. I will give you to the vultures and wild animals to devour you. ⁵ You will never reach the cities—you will fall upon the open fields; for I have spoken, the Lord God says. ⁶ And I will rain down fire on Magog and on all your allies who live safely on the coasts, and they shall know I am the Lord.
