Ezekiel 38:9-16

9And you will go up, you will come 1like a storm; you will be like a 2cloud covering the land, you and all your troops, and many peoples with you.”

10‘This is what the Lord God says: “It will come about on that day, that 3thoughts will come into your mind and you will 4devise an evil plan, 11and you will say, ‘I will go up against the land of 56unwalled villages. I will go against those who are 7at rest, who live securely, all of them living without walls and having no bars or gates, 12to 8capture 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 9center of the world.’ 1310Sheba and 11Dedan and the merchants of 12Tarshish with all its 13villages 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 14spoils?’”’

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 15living securely, will you not know it? 1516You 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 17know Me when I 18show Myself holy through you before their eyes, Gog.”
