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,
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:
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.
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.
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.
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.
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;
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.
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. |
