Context of Ezekiel 38:19

17This is what the Almighty Lord says: In years long ago, I gave my servants, the prophets of Israel, messages about you. At that time they prophesied that I would bring you to attack my people. 18I, the Almighty Lord, say this: On the day that Gog attacks the land of Israel, I will become more and more angry. I promise you this, because I am so very angry. On that day, there will be a great earthquake in the land of Israel. 20Everything that lives will shake with fear when they see what I am doing. The fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, the wild animals, the small animals that move along the ground and all the people on earth will be very afraid. I will make the mountains and hills break into pieces. All the walls in the cities will fall down. 21I will command the soldiers on all the mountains of my land to attack Gog. That is what I, the Almighty Lord, say. Gog's soldiers will fight against each other with their swords.
