Ezekiel Chapter 39
1 “Son of man, prophesy against Gog, ‘The Lord Yahveh says, “I’m against you, ruler of Meshech, and Tubal. 2 I’ll turn you around, drive you on, take you up from the most remote parts in the north, and bring you against Israel. 3 I’ll knock the bow out of your left hand, and the arrows out of your right hand. 4-5 You and your troops will fall on the mountains in Israel. I’ll feed you to every vulture and wild animal in the open country. I’ve said so. 6 I’ll rain down fire on Magog and those who live securely in distant lands. They’ll know I’m Yahveh.’
Ezek 39:1-6
7 “I’ll make my holy name known among my people; I won’t let it be profaned anymore. The nations will know I’m Yahveh, the Holy One in Israel. 8 The day I’m talking about is coming; it will happen.’
9 “For seven years, the people in the towns of Israel will go out and build fires with the weapons, shields and bucklers, bows and arrows, war clubs and spears. 10 They won’t get wood from the pasture or gather firewood from the woods; they’ll build fires out of weapons and plunder the ones that plundered them,” the Lord Yahveh says.
Ezek 39:7-10
11 “When I give Gog a burial ground in Israel—in the valley east of the Dead Sea, it will block travelers. They’ll bury Gog with all his army there and call it the Valley of Hamon-Gog. 12 It will take Israel seven months of burying to clean up the land. 13 The common people will do the burying to their renown when I glory myself,” the Lord Yahveh says. 14 “They’ll appoint men to go through the land and bury the ones left on the ground. 15 When they see a human bone, they’ll put a marker by it till those who do the burying put it in the Valley of Hamon-Gog. 16 The city’s name will be Hamonah [Horde]. So they’ll clean up the land.”
Ezek 39:11-16
17 “Son of man, tell every bird and wild animal, ‘Gather to the great sacrifice I’m going to make for you on the mountains in Israel so you can eat flesh and drink blood. 18 You’ll eat the flesh of powerful men and drink the blood of princes as if they were rams, lambs, goats, and bulls—grain-fed animals from Bashan. 19 You’ll eat till you’re gorged, and drink blood till you’re drunk from the sacrifice I’ll make for you. 20 At my table you’ll gorge on horses, charioteers, and mighty warriors,” the Lord Yahveh says.
Ezek 39:17-20
21 “I’ll establish my honor among the nations. They’ll see the judgment I’ve carried out on them. 22 Israel will know I’m Yahveh their God from then on. 23 The nations will know Israel went into exile for their sin, and I hid from them. I abandoned them to their enemies, and they fell by the sword. [ 24 ]”’”
25 So the Lord Yahveh says, “Now I’ll restore Jacob’s fortunes, and have mercy on the whole House of Israel. I’ll be zealous for my holy name. 26 When they live securely in their own land with nobody to threaten them, they’ll forget their shame and unfaithfulness to me. 27 When I bring them back from the nations, they’ll sanctify me in a way many lands can see. 28 They’ll know I’m Yahveh their God because I exiled them and then gathered them back. I won’t leave any of them there. 29 I won’t hide from them anymore because I’ve poured out my Spirit on Israel.”
