among them for ever.
And I will dwell among them, and will be their God, and they shall be my people, 28. That the heathen also may know that I am the LORD which sanctify Israel, when my sanctuary shall be among them for ever.
(Ezekial)
Chapter 38
From Gog and Magog.
And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying:
Son of man, turn thou against Gog, which is in the land of Magog, and is the chief prince in Meshech and Thubal, and prophesy of him.
And say, Thus saith the LORD Gag; Behold, I will be with thee, Gag, which art the chief prince of the lords of Meshech and Tubal.
Behold, I will compass thee about, and put a bridle in thy mouth, and will bring thee forth with all thy host, horse and man, all clothed, and a great company of them, all bearing sabres, and shield, and sword.
Thou hast with thee Persians, and Moors, and Libyans, all bearing shields and helmets, 6. And Gomer, and all his host, and the house of Togarmah, which lieth on the north side, and all his host: thou hast a great people with thee.
Therefore prepare thyself, thou, and all thy companies that are with thee, and be thou captain of them.
After a long time thou shalt be visited. In the latter days thou shalt come into the land that was brought again by the sword, and gathered out of many nations, even into the mountains of Israel, which have been desolate for a long time, and are now brought out of many nations, and all dwell safely.
Thou shalt go up, and come with great boldness, and shalt be as a cloud to cover the land, thou, and all thy host, and the great people with thee.
Thus saith the LORD GOD; In that day shalt thou undertake these things, and shalt have them in thy mind wickedly.
And remember: I will invade the land without walls, and will come upon them that dwell quietly and securely, as they all sit without walls, and have neither bars nor gates, 12. That thou mayest spoil and plunder, and let thine hand go upon the spoiled that are inhabited again, and upon the people that are gathered out of the heathen, and have sent for food and goods, and dwell in the midst of the land.
And the Arabian kingdom, and Dedan, and the merchants of the sea, and all the mighty men that are therein, shall say unto thee, I think that thou art come to plunder, and hast gathered thy multitude to plunder, that thou mayest take away silver and gold, and gather cattle and goods, and make a great plunder.
Therefore prophesy, thou son of man, and say unto Gog: Thus saith the LORD Gog; Is it not so, that thou shalt know when my people Israel shall dwell safely?
And thou shalt come out of thy place, even from the north country, thou, and a great company with thee, all of them on horseback, a great multitude, and a mighty host.
And thou shalt come up upon my people Israel as a cloud to cover the land. This shall come to pass in the latter days. And I will bring thee into my land, that the heathen may know me, as I am sanctified in thee, O Gog, in their sight;
Thus saith the Lord GOD; Thou art he of whom I spake in time past by my servants the
prophets of Israel, which prophesied in that day, that I would bring thee upon them.
And it shall come to pass in those days, when Gog shall come upon the land of Israel, saith the LORD GOD, that my wrath shall come up in my fury.
And I speak these things in my zeal, and in the fire of my wrath. For in that day there shall be great trembling in the land of Israel,
And the fishes of the sea shall tremble at my presence, and the fowls of the air, and the cattle of the field, and every living thing that moveth upon the face of the earth, and every man that is upon the earth; and the mountains shall be turned back, and the walls and all the ramparts shall fall to the ground.
And I will call for a sword upon him upon all my mountains, saith the LORD GOD; and every man’s sword shall be against every man’s sword.
And I will judge him with pestilence and blood; and I will rain down downpours of fire and brimstone upon him, and upon his army, and upon the great people that are with him.
I will therefore be glorious, and holy, and known before many nations, that they may know that I am the LORD.
(Ezekial)
Chapter 39
Of the defeat of Gog and Magog, and the victory of the people of God.
And thou, son of man, prophesy against Gog, and say, Thus saith the LORD GOD; Behold, I am against thee, Gog, who art the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal.
Behold, I will turn thee about, and lure thee, and bring thee out of the ends of the midst, and make thee come upon the borders of Israel.
And I will strike thy bow out of thy left hand, and cast thine arrows out of thy right hand.
Upon the mountains of Israel shalt thou be laid, thou, and all thy host, and the people that are with thee. I will give thee to the fowls whence they fly, and to the beasts of the field to eat.
Thou shalt lie down in the field: for I the LORD have said it.
And I will cast fire upon Magog, and upon them that dwell safely in the isles; and they shall know that I am the LORD.
For I will make known my holy name among my people Israel, and will no more profane my holy name; but the heathen shall know that I am the LORD, the Holy One in Israel.
Behold, it is come and is done, saith the LORD GOD; this is the day of which I spake.
And the citizens of the cities of Israel shall go out, and make fire, and burn the weapons, and the shields, and the tartars, and the bows, and the arrows, and the fist staves, and the long spears, and shall keep fire therewith seven years,
That they take not wood out of the field, nor hew wood out of the wood: but of weapons they shall keep fire; and they shall rob, of whom they are robbed; and they shall plunder, of whom they are plundered, saith the LORD GOD.
And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will give unto Gog a place to be buried in Israel, even the valley of the sea eastward: and they that pass by shall be afraid of it, because Gog and his multitude are buried there: and the valley shall be called Gog’s valley.
And the house of Israel shall bury them seven months, that the land may be cleansed.
Yea, all the people of the land shall bury in them, and shall glory in that I have that day shewed my glory, saith the LORD GOD.
And they shall set apart men to go about the land continually, and with them the grave-diggers to bury the remnant of the land, that it may be cleansed: after seven months shall they search.
And they that go about the land, and see a man’s bone, shall set up a mark thereat, until the grave-diggers bury it also in the valley of Gog.
So shall the name of the city be called Hamonah. So they shall cleanse the land.
Now therefore, thou child of man, thus saith the LORD GOD; Say unto all fowls whence they fly, and unto all beasts of the field, Gather yourselves together, and come hither. Gather yourselves together on every side unto my sacrifice, which I will slay for you, a great sacrifice upon the mountains of Israel; and eat flesh, and drink blood.
The flesh of the mighty shall ye eat, and the blood of the princes of the earth shall ye drink, of rams, and of rams, and of goats, and of oxen, all of them fat and well fattened.
And ye shall eat the fat, that ye may be filled; and ye shall drink the blood, that ye may be drunken with the sacrifice which I kill for you.
Fill yourselves therefore over my table with horses, and with horsemen, and with mighty men, and with all manner of men of war, saith the LORD GOD.
And I will bring my glory among the Gentiles, and all the Gentiles shall see my judgment which I have executed, and my hand which I have laid upon them,
And so the house of Israel shall know that I the LORD am their God from that day forward, 23. And the heathen know how that the house of Israel was carried away for their iniquity, and that they had sinned against me. Therefore have I hid my face from them, and delivered them into the hand of their adversaries, that they should all fall by the sword.
I have done unto them according to their sin and transgression, and have hid my face from them.
Therefore thus saith the LORD GOD; Now will I turn the prison of Jacob, and have mercy upon all the house of Israel, and will be jealous for my holy name.
And they shall bear their reproach, and all their sin, because they have sinned against me, when they dwell safely in their own land, that no man may affright them, 27. And I brought them again out of the nations, and gathered them out of the countries of
