Ezekiel 38:17-23

17‘Thus says the Lord God, “Are you the one of whom I spoke in former days through My servants the prophets of Israel, who 1prophesied in those days for many years that I would bring you against them?

18It will come about on that day, when Gog comes against the land of Israel,” declares the Lord God, “that My fury will mount up in My 2anger.

19In My 3zeal and in My blazing wrath I declare that on that day there will surely be a great 45earthquake in the land of Israel.

206The fish of the sea, the birds of the heavens, the beasts of the field, all the creeping things that creep on the earth, and all the men who are on the face of the earth will shake at My presence; the 7mountains also will be thrown down, the steep pathways will 8collapse and every wall will fall to the ground.

21I will call for a 9sword against 10him on all My mountains,” declares the Lord God. “11Every man’s sword will be against his brother.

22With pestilence and with blood I will enter into 12judgment with him; and I will rain on him and on his troops, and on the many peoples who are with him, 13a torrential rain, with 14hailstones, fire and brimstone.

23I will magnify Myself, sanctify Myself, and 15make Myself known in the sight of many nations; and they will know that I am the Lord.”’
