Ezekiel 38:1-9

1The 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

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

4I 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.

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

6Gomer 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.

8After 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.

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