Introduction

In our studies on chapters 19-20 of this revelation of Jesus Christ who Saul of Tarsus persecuted (Act 22:8), we saw that the supper of the great God, which we must all “read, hear, and keep” (Rev 1:3), brings us all to “the marriage supper of the Lamb”, which is also read, heard and kept by us all “in our own order”.

Act 22:8 And I answered, Who art thou, Lord? And he said unto me, I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom thou persecutest.

Rev 1:3 Blessed [ is] he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time [ is] at hand.

1Co 15:22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.
1Co 15:23 But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ’s at his coming.

In our studies in Rev 19-20 we have seen that the “horses and them that ride them” comprise the flesh which is offered to the fowls of heaven at the supper of the great God. In both Ezekiel and Revelation we are told these horses and those who ride them are the men and horses of “Gog and Magog” as the spiritual symbol of “the flesh of all men”.

Rev 19:17 And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God;
Rev 19:18 That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great.
Rev 19:19 And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army.
Rev 19:20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.
Rev 19:21 And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh.

The flesh being offered to the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven is “the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great”. This is the same flesh of “all men that are upon the face of the earth” in these verses of Eze 38:

Eze 38:18 And it shall come to pass at the same time when Gog shall come against the land of Israel, saith the Lord GOD, [that] my fury shall come up in my face.
Eze 38:19 For in my jealousy [and] in the fire of my wrath have I spoken, Surely in that day there shall be a great shaking in the land of Israel;
Eze 38:20 So that the fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the heaven, and the beasts of the field, and all creeping things that creep upon the earth, and all the men that are upon the face of the earth, shall shake at my presence, and the mountains shall be thrown down, and the steep places shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground.

The flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great” and “all men that are upon the face of the earth” is the same wording used to describe all who worship the beast and his image and who receive the number of his name. Even the saints are overcome by this beast.

Rev 13:7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.
Rev 13:8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
Rev 13:9 If any man have an ear, let him hear.

Rev 13:16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
Rev 13:17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

The point is that this supper includes the flesh of the saints as a part of “all men… both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond”.

Here now is the last verse of Rev 13:

Rev 13:18 Here is wisdom. Let him who has a mind calculate the number of the wild beast, for it is the number of mankind, and its number is six hundred sixty- six.”

This is the number which signifies all of mankind from birth. You and I cannot take these words out of this prophecy and put them only onto others. It is our flesh which must be the first flesh to be given to the fowls of the heaven at the supper of the great God. Until that part of this prophecy is accomplished and the seven vials of the seven angels is accomplished within us, we will not partake of the marriage supper of the Lamb. But by the grace of God, our flesh will be consumed and destroyed by the devil, and we will be found worthy to partake of that marriage supper, which is the first resurrection. All of this must first be accomplished in all to whom it is given to overcome their flesh and to rule with Christ a symbolic thousand years.

Our study today will show us that Gog and Magog are the spiritual sign and symbol of “the flesh of all men”. We will see this to be the case by discovering that the events described in Rev 19-20 are first revealed to us in Ezekiel 38-39, where Gog and Magog are in this chapter, the symbol of “all the men that are upon the face of the earth”.

Our study today will only be on Eze 38.

“The supper of the great God” revealed in Ezekiel 38-39

Eze 38:1 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
Eze 38:2 Son of man, set thy face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him,

The only place in scripture that the names Gog and Magog are found together is here in Ezekiel 38-39 and in Rev 20. They are not mentioned together before these two chapters in Ezekiel even though, as we will see below, these names are used as the symbol of all preceding prophecies against the seed of the serpent:

Eze 38:17 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Art thou he of whom I have spoken in old time by my servants the prophets of Israel, which prophesied in those days many years that I would bring thee against them?

“Many years” are all the years that the seed of the woman has been strugglin against the seed of the serpent, both in type and shadow, in the Old Testament and in spiritual reality in the New Testament.

Gen 3:15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.

Eph 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high [ places].

Rev 12:1 And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars:
Rev 12:2 And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered.
Rev 12:3 And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.
Rev 12:4 And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.
Rev 12:5 And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and [to] his throne.

This is the war ” spoken [of] in old time by my servants the prophets of Israel, which prophesied in those days many years that I would bring thee [Gog and Magog] against them”.

Eze 38:3 And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I [am] against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal:
Eze 38:4 And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws, and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts [of armour, even] a great company [with] bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords:

The false doctrine of mankind having a free will is refuted when we see that Gog and Magog are the spiritual, Biblical symbol of “the flesh of all men”. It is “the flesh of all men” which God plainly tells us He will “ put hooks into thy jaws, and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armour, even a great company [with] bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords:

It is our flesh which is the hooks in our jaws” which drags us to do all the things we don’t even want to do. This is demonstrated for us in the story of Joseph and his brothers, and it is plainly stated as such in Rom 7.

Gen 45:4 And Joseph said unto his brethren, Come near to me, I pray you. And they came near. And he said, I am Joseph your brother, whom ye sold into Egypt.
Gen 45:5 Now therefore be not grieved, nor angry with yourselves, that ye sold me hither: for God did send me before you to preserve life.
Gen 45:6 For these two years hath the famine been in the land: and yet [there are] five years, in the which [there shall] neither [ be] earing nor harvest.
Gen 45:7 And God sent me before you to preserve you a posterity in the earth, and to save your lives by a great deliverance.
Gen 45:8 So now it was not you that sent me hither, but God: and he hath made me a father to Pharaoh, and lord of all his house, and a ruler throughout all the land of Egypt.

While Joseph twice causes his brothers to give an accounting of what they had done to him, “You sold me into Egypt”, he does not hold them accountable or responsible. Instead he reveals to them and to us, that “It was not you but God that sent me here”.

comes the holy spirit through the apostle Paul to reiterate this incredible truth concerning “the flesh of all men” to us all in Rom 7.

Rom 7:17 Now then it is no more I that do i t, but sin that dwelleth in me.
Rom 7:18 For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not.
Rom 7:19 For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do.
Rom 7:20 Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.
Rom 7:21 I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me.

So it is “the flesh of all men… [in whom] no good thing dwells”. Therefore, it is “the flesh of all men” which must be destroyed by “the fowls that fly in the heavens. So Gog and Magog are simply the spiritual, Biblical sign and symbol of “the nations in the four quarters of the earth… the flesh of all men… [in whom] dwells no good thing”.

Rev 20:8 And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom [ is] as the sand of the sea

Here is how the holy spirit inspired Ezekiel to make this point concerning who are “the nations in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog”.

Eze 38:5 Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all of them with shield and helmet:
Eze 38:6 Gomer, and all his bands; the house of Togarmah of the north quarters, and all his bands: [ and] many people with thee.
Eze 38:7 Be thou prepared, and prepare for thyself, thou, and all thy company that are assembled unto thee, and be thou a guard unto them.

That is the meaning of “Gog and Magog”. Here now is the function of Gog and Magog in our lives as well as in the dispensational sense.

Eze 38:8 After many days thou shalt be visited: in the latter years thou shalt come into the land that is brought back from the sword, and is gathered out of many people, against the mountains of Israel, which have been always waste: but it is brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell safely all of them.
Eze 38:9 Thou shalt ascend and come like a storm, thou shalt be like a cloud to cover the land, thou, and all thy bands, and many people with thee.

Here is how this time of great trial and of attempting to destroy the seed of the woman is described in the book of Revelation:

Rev 9:1 And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit.
Rev 9:2 And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit.

“You shall be like a cloud to cover the land, you and all your bands, and many people with you”. The fact that we are told that all of Gog and Magog handle swords, tells us that these are those who all believe and repeat the lies told against Christ’s words, and against those who live by Christ’s words. We are told that those lies are appreciated and believed by “many people with you” when we are part of Gog and Magog, and we are believing those lies which “cover the land [ and] darken the Sun and the air”.

Eze 38:10 Thus saith the Lord GOD; It shall also come to pass, that at the same time shall things come into thy mind, and thou shalt think an evil thought:
Eze 38:11 And thou shalt say, I will go up to the land of unwalled villages; I will go to them that are at rest, that dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates,
Eze 38:12 To take a spoil, and to take a prey; to turn thine hand upon the desolate places that are now inhabited, and upon the people that are gathered out of the nations, which have gotten cattle and goods, that dwell in the midst of the land.

These “unwalled villages”, and these people who “dwell safely, all of them without walls… upon the desolate places that are now inhabited” are “the people who are gathered out of the nations”. They are God’s elect; they are “the camp of the saints” against whom the seed of the serpent has always been encamped.

Act 10:35 But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him.

Rev 5:9 And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;

Eze 38:13 Sheba, and Dedan, and the merchants of Tarshish, with all the young lions thereof, shall say unto thee, Art thou come to take a spoil? hast thou gathered thy company to take a prey? to carry away silver and gold, to take away cattle and goods, to take a great spoil?
Eze 38:14 Therefore, son of man, prophesy and say unto Gog, Thus saith the Lord GOD; In that day when my people of Israel dwelleth safely, shalt thou not know [it]?
Eze 38:15 And thou shalt come from thy place out of the north parts, thou, and many people with thee, all of them riding upon horses, a great company, and a mighty army:
Eze 38:16 And thou shalt come up against my people of Israel, as a cloud to cover the land; it shall be in the latter days, and I will bring thee against my land, that the heathen may know me, when I shall be sanctified in thee, O Gog, before their eyes.

“It shall be in the latter days”. These are not the lies which cause us all to “leave our first love” as “carnal babes in Christ”. These are the trials we endure in our ‘Garden of Gethsemane” experience “in the latter days”. Gog and Magog are the symbol of this event which is also the symbol of the “judgment which is now on the house of God” (1Pe 4:17):

Act 4:25 Who by the mouth of thy servant David hast said, Why did the heathen rage, and the people imagine vain things?
Act 4:26 The kings of the earth stood up, and the rulers were gathered together against the Lord, and against his Christ.
Act 4:27 For of a truth against thy holy child Jesus, whom thou hast anointed, both Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles, and the people of Israel, were gathered together,
Act 4:28 For to do whatsoever thy hand and thy counsel determined before to be done.

It is “God’s hand and counsel” which which puts “hooks in the jaws” of Gog and Magog, the Biblical and spiritual symbol of “all flesh”, which causes “the kings of the earth… and the rulers to gather to gather against the Lord and against His Christ”.

Rev 16:16 And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.

Rev 20:7 And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,
Rev 20:8 And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.

“You shall come from your place out of the north parts, you and many people with you” tells us that these fiery trials reveal that “judgment is now upon the house of God”, and “the day of our redemption is nearer than when we believed”.

1Pe 4:12 Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you:
1Pe 4:13 But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ’s sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.
1Pe 4:14 If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy [ are ye]; for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: on their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified.
1Pe 4:15 But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or as an evildoer, or as a busybody in other men’s matters.
1Pe 4:16 Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf.
1Pe 4:17 For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?

Our Armageddon is the day in which we gather with all that is in our fleshly arsenal to do battle with the Truth. We are destroyed in that battle, to become those who handle the truth, the words and doctrines of our “new man” and our new Father. With these we are now fighting against the doctrines of our old “father the devil”, and we are now that angel in the sun inviting the fowls of the heaven to come to the supper of the great God. Here are the Words of our Lord which are then in our mouths:

Eze 38:17 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Art thou he of whom I have spoken in old time by my servants the prophets of Israel, which prophesied in those days many years that I would bring thee against them?
Eze 38:18 And it shall come to pass at the same time when Gog shall come against the land of Israel, saith the Lord GOD, that my fury shall come up in my face.
Eze 38:19 For in my jealousy and in the fire of my wrath have I spoken, Surely in that day there shall be a great shaking in the land of Israel;

Who is “the land of Israel” against whom God has “of old time” prophesied to bring Gog and Magog”? Are any of these prophecies to be understood as being made against the modern Christ- rejecting state of Israel? Or are all of these prophecies to be understood as being made against the seed of the serpent in all ages, and his seed bruises the heel of the seed of the woman, of all ages. Who, once again, is “the Israel of God”?

Before we go on, let’s remember who it is being spoken of here.

Rom 2:28 For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither [is that] circumcision, which is outward in the flesh:
Rom 2:29 But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.

Gal 6:16 All who walk by this standard are the true Israel of God— his chosen people. Peace and mercy on them! (MSG)

Eph 2:11 Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands;
Eph 2:12 That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world:
Eph 2:13 But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.
Eph 2:14 For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition [between us];
Eph 2:15 Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace;
Eph 2:16 And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby:
Eph 2:17 And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh.
Eph 2:18 For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father.
Eph 2:19 Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God;

The “Israel” of this prophecy is “the true Israel” and the true Jew of the spirit and of scripture.

Here is that “fury and wrath of God” of Eze 38:18-19 which we must all endure before we can “enter into the temple of God in heaven… which temple we are”… if indeed we are that temple and if we are granted to enter therein. Here is that “great shakinng in the land of Israel, we will all endure if we are counted worthy to do so.

Rev 15:1 And I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvellous, seven angels having the seven last plagues; for in them is filled up the wrath of God.
Rev 15:2 And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, [and] over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God.
Rev 15:3 And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvellous [are] thy works, Lord God Almighty; just and true [are] thy ways, thou King of saints.
Rev 15:4 Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name? for [ thou] only [ art] holy: for all nations shall come and worship before thee; for thy judgments are made manifest.
Rev 15:5 And after that I looked, and, behold, the temple of the tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was opened:
Rev 15:6 And the seven angels came out of the temple, having the seven plagues, clothed in pure and white linen, and having their breasts girded with golden girdles.
Rev 15:7 And one of the four beasts gave unto the seven angels seven golden vials full of the wrath of God, who liveth for ever and ever.
Rev 15:8 And the temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God, and from his power; and no man was able to enter into the temple, till the seven plagues of the seven angels were fulfilled.

If it is true that we all “must live by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God, that all things are ours, that we must keep the things written therein and that all things come alike to all”, then it is also true that “no man will be able to enter into the temple till” the supper of the great God and the battle of Armageddon and the destruction of Gog and Magog by the fowls that fly in the heavens has also all been fulfilled.

Eze 38:20 So that the fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the heaven, and the beasts of the field, and all creeping things that creep upon the earth, and all the men that are upon the face of the earth, shall shake at my presence, and the mountains shall be thrown down, and the steep places shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground.
Eze 38:21 And I will call for a sword against him throughout all my mountains, saith the Lord GOD: every man’s sword shall be against his brother.

“The fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the heaven, and the beasts of the field, and all creeping things that creep upon the earth, are one and all the Biblical, spiritual symbols of the heaven themselves which must yet be cleansed, and they are all the spiritual, and Biblical signs and types of “the flesh of all men [in which] is no good thing”. These are all one and the same thing as “the nations that are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog”. Here is this very same event as it is described to us in the opening of the sixth seal:

Rev 6:12 And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;
Rev 6:13 And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.
Rev 6:14 And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.
Rev 6:15 And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;
Rev 6:16 And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:
Rev 6:17 For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?

So let us take careful note of what is said to be “the day of His wrath”:

Job 21:30 That the wicked is reserved to the day of destruction? they shall be brought forth to the day of wrath.

Pro 11:4 Riches profit not in the day of wrath: but righteousness delivereth from death.

Eze 38:19 For in my jealousy and in the fire of my wrath have I spoken, Surely in that day there shall be a great shaking in the land of Israel;

Zep 1:15 That day is a day of wrath, a day of trouble and distress, a day of wasteness and desolation, a day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness,

Rom 2:5 But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God;

Rev 6:15 And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;
Rev 6:16 And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:
Rev 6:17 For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?

Rev 15:1 And I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvellous, seven angels having the seven last plagues; for in them is filled up the wrath of God.

So “the day of destruction of the wicked” is “the day of wrath”. The destruction “the flesh of all men in the destruction of Gog and Magog”… “in my jealousy and in the fire of my wrath” is also “in that day”. The wrath of the Lamb in Rev 6 is that day, and the seven last plagues which fill up the wrath of God” is the day of God’s wrath against the wickedness of all flesh. “The dream is one, and there is only one day of God’s wrath, which is “revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of man”.

Rom 1:18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;

Here now are the last two verses of this chapter. Here is the purpose for the day of God’s wrath:

Eze 38:22 And I will plead against him with pestilence and with blood; and I will rain upon him, and upon his bands, and upon the many people that [are] with him, an overflowing rain, and great hailstones, fire, and brimstone.
Eze 38:23 Thus will I magnify myself, and sanctify myself; and I will be known in the eyes of many nations, and they shall know that I am the LORD.

The natural man will wonder if the rain and hail might not put out the fire and brimstone, but the man of the spirit knows that the rain and the hailstones, the fire and the brimstone, are one and all the Biblical symbols of the Word of God, and the rain and the hailstones only serve to magnify the heat and the devouring fire that is the Word of God. This is the very same “fire” we find throughout the Word of God. It is God’s own fiery words which torment us all at our own appointed time, and burn up and burn out all that will burn.

1Co 3:12 Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble;
1Co 3:13 Every man’s work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man’s work of what sort it is.
1Co 3:14 If any man’s work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.
1Co 3:15 If any man’s work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.

So Gog and Magog are the spiritual and Biblical symbols of the flesh of all men. In our study next week we will see how the destruction of Gog and Magog is revealed in Ezekiel 39, to demonstrate for us the destruction of death in the lake of fire. Here is Ezekiel 39:

Eze 39:1 Therefore, thou son of man, prophesy against Gog, and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I [am] against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal:
Eze 39:2 And I will turn thee back, and leave but the sixth part of thee, and will cause thee to come up from the north parts, and will bring thee upon the mountains of Israel:
Eze 39:3 And I will smite thy bow out of thy left hand, and will cause thine arrows to fall out of thy right hand.
Eze 39:4 Thou shalt fall upon the mountains of Israel, thou, and all thy bands, and the people that [is] with thee: I will give thee unto the ravenous birds of every sort, and [to] the beasts of the field to be devoured.
Eze 39:5 Thou shalt fall upon the open field: for I have spoken [it], saith the Lord GOD.
Eze 39:6 And I will send a fire on Magog, and among them that dwell carelessly in the isles: and they shall know that I [am] the LORD.
Eze 39:7 So will I make my holy name known in the midst of my people Israel; and I will not [let them] pollute my holy name any more: and the heathen shall know that I [am] the LORD, the Holy One in Israel.
Eze 39:8 Behold, it is come, and it is done, saith the Lord GOD; this [is] the day whereof I have spoken.
Eze 39:9 And they that dwell in the cities of Israel shall go forth, and shall set on fire and burn the weapons, both the shields and the bucklers, the bows and the arrows, and the handstaves, and the spears, and they shall burn them with fire seven years:
Eze 39:10 So that they shall take no wood out of the field, neither cut down [any] out of the forests; for they shall burn the weapons with fire: and they shall spoil those that spoiled them, and rob those that robbed them, saith the Lord GOD.
Eze 39:11 And it shall come to pass in that day [that] I will give unto Gog a place there of graves in Israel, the valley of the passengers on the east of the sea: and it shall stop the [noses] of the passengers: and there shall they bury Gog and all his multitude: and they shall call [it] The valley of Hamongog.
Eze 39:12 And seven months shall the house of Israel be burying of them, that they may cleanse the land.
