Ezekiel 38:1-9 ▼

1 The word of the LORD came to me:

2 “Son of man, face Gog, of the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal. Prophesy against him

3 and say, ‘This is what the Lord GOD says: Look, I am against you, Gog, chief prince of Meshech and Tubal.

4 I will turn you around, put hooks in your jaws, and bring you out with all your army, including horses and riders, who are all splendidly dressed, a huge assembly armed with large and small shields, all of them brandishing swords.

5 Persia, Cush, and Put are with them, all of them with shields and helmets;

6 Gomer with all its troops; and Beth-togarmah from the remotest parts of the north along with all its troops—many peoples are with you.

7 “ ‘Be prepared and get yourself ready, you and your whole assembly that has been mobilized around you; you will be their guard.

8 After a long time you will be summoned. In the last years you will enter a land that has been restored from war and regathered from many peoples to the mountains of Israel, which had long been a ruin. They were brought out from the peoples, and all of them now live securely.

9 You, all of your troops, and many peoples with you will advance, coming like a thunderstorm; you will be like a cloud covering the land.
