Context of Ezekiel 39:7

5Your 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. My 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. 8I promise that I will cause this to happen. You can be sure that this day will come, says the Lord God. I told you that this day would come. 9Then those who live in Israel's towns will go out. They will pick up the weapons and they will burn them. They will burn the small and large shields, the heavy sticks, the throwing sticks and the sharp pointed sticks (swords). They will use them to make their fires. They will have enough wood for seven years of fires.
