Ezekiel 38:1-9

1The word of Adonai came to me saying:

2“Son of man, set your face toward Gog of the land of Magog, chief prince of Meshech and Tubal. Prophesy against him

3and say, thus says Adonai Elohim: ‘Behold, I am against you, Gog, chief prince of Meshech and Tubal.

4I will turn you about and put hooks into your jaws. I will bring you out, with all your army, horses and horsemen—all of them splendidly dressed—a vast assembly with breastplate and shield, all of them wielding swords.

5With them will be Persia, Cush and Put, all of them with shield and helmet,

6Gomer and all his troops, the house of Togarmah from the extreme north and all his troops—many peoples with you.

7“‘Be prepared, prepare yourself, you and all your company gathered around you. Be a guard for them.

8After many days you will be summoned. In the latter years, you will come against the land that has been brought back from the sword and regathered from many peoples on the mountains of Israel, which had been a continual waste. But they were brought out from the peoples. When all of them are dwelling securely,

9you will come up, you will come like a storm, you will be like a cloud covering the land—you and all your troops and many peoples with you.’”
