Context of Ezekiel 38:10

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. “‘This is what the Lord God says: On that day, thoughts will arise in your mind, and you will devise an evil plan. 11You will say, “I will advance against a land of open villages; I will come against a tranquil people who are living securely, all of them living without walls and without bars or gates” — 12in order to seize spoil and carry off plunder, to turn your hand against ruins now inhabited and against a people gathered from the nations, who have been acquiring cattle and possessions and who live at the center of the world.
