Context of Ezekiel 39:6

4Thou shalt fall upon the mountains of Israel, thou, and all thy bands, and the peoples that are with thee: I have given thee to be meat for the birds of prey of every wing, and to the beasts of the field. 5Thou shalt fall on the open field; for I have spoken [it], saith the Lord Jehovah. And I will send a fire on Magog, and among them that dwell at ease in the isles: and they shall know that I [am] Jehovah. 7And my holy name will I make known in the midst of my people Israel; and I will not suffer my holy name to be profaned any more: and the nations shall know that I [am] Jehovah, the Holy One in Israel. 8Behold, it cometh, and shall be done, saith the Lord Jehovah. This is the day whereof I have spoken.
