Ezekiel 39:1-29 - God's Destruction Of Gog And His Hordes

1 And thou, son of man, prophesy against Gog, and say, Thus says lord LORD: Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, ruler of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal. 2 And I will turn thee about, and will lead thee on, and will cause thee to come up from the outermost parts of the north, and I will bring thee upon the mountains of Israel. 3 And I will smite thy bow out of thy left hand, and will cause thine arrows to fall out of thy right hand. 4 Thou shall fall upon the mountains of Israel, thou, and all thy hordes, and the peoples who are with thee. I will give thee to the ravenous birds of every sort, and to the beasts of the field to be devoured. 5 Thou shall fall upon the open field, for I have spoken it, says lord LORD.

6 And I will send a fire on Magog, and on those who dwell securely in the isles. And they shall know that I am LORD. 7 And I will make my holy name known in the midst of my people Israel, nor will I allow my holy name to be profaned any more. And the nations shall know that I am LORD, the Holy One in Israel. 8 Behold, it comes, and it shall be done, says lord LORD. This is the day of which I have spoken.

9 And those who dwell in the cities of Israel shall go forth, and shall make fires of the weapons and burn them, both the shields and the bucklers, the bows and the arrows, and the hand staves, and the spears. And they shall make fir 10 so that they shall take no wood out of the field, nor cut down any out of the forests, for they shall make fires of the weapons. And they shall plunder those who plundered them, and rob those who robbed them, says lord LORD.

11 And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will give to Gog a place for burial in Israel: the valley of those who pass through on the east of the sea. And it shall stop those who pass through, and they shall bury Gog and all his 12 And the house of Israel shall be burying them seven months, that they may cleanse the land. 13 Yea, all the people of the land shall bury them, and it shall be to them a renown in the day that I shall be glorified, says lord LORD.

14 And they shall set apart men of continual employment, who shall pass through the land. And, with those who pass through, those that bury those who remain upon the face of the land, to cleanse it, after the end of seven months they 15 And those who pass through the land shall pass through, and when any man sees a man's bone, then he shall set up a sign by it till the buriers have buried it in the valley of Hamon-gog. 16 And Hamonah shall also be the name of a city. Thus they shall cleanse the land.

17 And thou, son of man, thus says lord LORD: Speak to the birds of every sort, and to every beast of the field, Assemble yourselves, and come. Gather yourselves on every side to my sacrifice that I sacrifice for you, even a great sac 18 Ye shall eat the flesh of the mighty, and drink the blood of the rulers of the earth, of rams, of lambs, and of goats, of bullocks, all of them fatlings of Bashan. 19 And ye shall eat fat till ye be full, and drink blood till ye be drunken, of my sacrifice which I have sacrificed for you. 20 And ye shall be filled at my table with horses and chariots, with mighty men, and with all men of war, says lord LORD.

21 And I will set my glory among the nations. And all the nations shall see my judgment that I have executed, and my hand that I have laid upon them. 22 So the house of Israel shall know that I am LORD their God, from that day and forward. 23 And the nations shall know that the house of Israel went into captivity for their iniquity, because they trespassed against me, and I hid my face from them. So I gave them into the hand of their adversaries, and they fell all of th 24 I did to them according to their uncleanness and according to their transgressions. And I hid my face from them.

25 Therefore thus says lord LORD: Now I will bring back the captivity of Jacob, and have mercy upon the whole house of Israel. And I will be jealous for my holy name. 26 And they shall bear their shame, and all their trespasses by which they have trespassed against me, when they shall dwell securely in their land. And none shall make them afraid 27 when I have brought them back from the peoples, and gathered them out of their enemies' lands, and am sanctified in them in the sight of many nations. 28 And they shall know that I am LORD their God, in that I caused them to go into captivity among the nations, and have gathered them to their own land. And I will leave none of them any more there, 29 nor will I hide my face any more from them. For I have poured out my Spirit upon the house of Israel, says lord LORD.
