Context of Ezekiel 39:5
3Then I will knock your bow out of your left hand. I will cause your arrows to fall out of your right hand. 4You will fall to the ground on Israel's mountains. You, your soldiers and the people who are with you will all die there. Vultures and wild animals will eat your dead bodies. Your bodies will lie in the fields. I, the Almighty Lord, have said that this will happen. 6I will send fires to burn in Magog. They will burn the people who live safely in towns on the coast of the sea. Then they will know that I am the Lord. 7My people, Israel will know that my name is holy. No longer will I let them say bad things about me. And the nations round you will know that I, the Lord am the holy God in Israel.
