Context of Ezekiel 39:6

4You will fall on the mountains of Israel—you, all your troops and the people that are with you. I will give you as food to all kinds of birds of prey and to the beasts of the field. 5You will fall on an open field, for I have spoken.’” It is a declaration of Adonai. “I will send fire on Magog and on those who live securely in the islands. Then they will know that I am Adonai. 7So I will make My holy Name known among My people Israel. I will not let My holy Name be profaned anymore. The nations will know that I am Adonai, the Holy One in Israel. 8Behold, it is coming. It will be done”—it is a declaration of Adonai—“this is the day that I have spoken about.
