Ezekiel 38:14-23

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 1living securely, will you not know it? 152You 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 3know Me when I 4show Myself holy through you before their eyes, Gog.”

17‘This is what the Lord God says: “Are you the one of whom I spoke in former days through My servants the prophets of Israel, who 5prophesied 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 6anger. 19In My 7zeal and in My blazing wrath I declare that on that day there will certainly be a great 89earthquake in the land of Israel. 2010The fish of the sea, the birds of the sky, the animals of the field, all the crawling things that crawl on the earth, and all mankind who are on the face of the earth will shake at My presence; and the 11mountains will be thrown down, the steep pathways will 12collapse, and every wall will fall to the ground. 21And I will call for a 13sword against 14him on all My mountains,” declares the Lord God. “15Every man’s sword will be against his brother. 22With plague and with blood I will enter into 16judgment with him; and I will rain on him and on his troops, and on the many peoples who are with him, 17a torrential rain, 18hailstones, fire, and brimstone. 23So I will prove Myself great, show Myself holy, and 19make Myself known in the sight of many nations; and they will know that I am the Lord.”’
