Ezekiel 38:10-16

10‘This is what the Lord God says: “It will come about on that day, that 1thoughts will come into your mind and you will 2devise an evil plan, 11and you will say, ‘I will go up against the land of 34unwalled villages. I will go against those who are 5at rest, who live securely, all of them living without walls and having no bars or gates, 12to 6capture spoils and to seize plunder, to turn your hand against the ruins that are now inhabited, and against the people who are gathered from the nations, who have acquired livestock and goods, who live at the 7center of the world.’ 138Sheba and 9Dedan and the merchants of 10Tarshish with all its 11villages will say to you, ‘Have you come to capture spoils? Have you assembled your contingent to seize plunder, to carry away silver and gold, to take away livestock and goods, to capture great 12spoils?’”’

14“Therefore prophesy, son of man, and say to Gog, ‘This is what the Lord God says: “On that day when My people Israel are 13living securely, will you not know it? 1514You will come from your place out of the remote parts of the north, you and many peoples with you, all of them riding horses, a large assembly and a mighty army; 16and you will come up against My people Israel like a cloud to cover the land. It shall come about in the last days that I will bring you against My land, so that the nations may 15know Me when I 16show Myself holy through you before their eyes, Gog.”
