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 dwelling securely, will you not know this ¹⁵and come from your place in the remotest parts of the north—you and many peoples with you, who are all riding horses—a huge assembly, a powerful army? ¹⁶You will advance against my people Israel like a cloud covering the land. It will happen in the last days, Gog, that I will bring you against my land so that the nations may know me, when I show myself holy through you in their sight. ¹⁷“‘This is what the Lord God says: Are you the one I spoke about in former times through my servants, the prophets of Israel, who for years prophesied in those times that I would bring you against them? ¹⁸Now on that day, the day when Gog comes against the land of Israel—this is the declaration of the Lord God—my wrath will flare up. ¹⁹I swear in my zeal and fiery rage: On that day there will be a great earthquake in the land of Israel. ²⁰The fish of the sea, the birds of the sky, the animals of the field, every creature that crawls on the ground, and every human being on the face of the earth will tremble before me. The mountains will be demolished, the cliffs will collapse, and every wall will fall to the ground. ²¹I will call for a sword against him on all my mountains—this is the declaration of the Lord God—and every man’s sword will be against his brother. ²²I will execute judgment on him with plague and bloodshed. I will pour out torrential rain, hailstones, fire, and burning sulfur on him, as well as his troops and the many peoples who are with him. ²³I will display my greatness and holiness, and will reveal myself in the sight of many nations. Then they will know that I am the Lord.’
