Contextual Overview

14"Therefore prophesy, son of man, and say to Gog, ‘Thus says Lord Yahweh, "On that day when My people Israel are living securely, will you not know it? 15You will come from your place out of the remote parts of the north, you and numerous peoples with you, all of them riding on horses, a great assembly and a numerous military force; 16and you will come up against My people Israel like a cloud to cover the land. It will be in the last days that I will bring you against My land so that the nations may know Me when I prove Myself holy through you before their eyes, O Gog." 17‘Thus says Lord Yahweh, "Are you the one of whom I spoke in former days by the hand of My slaves the prophets of Israel, who prophesied in those days for many years that I would bring you against them? 18And it will be in that day, when Gog comes against the land of Israel," declares Lord Yahweh, "that My wrath will mount up in My anger. 19In My zeal and in My blazing fury I have spoken that on that day there will surely be a great earthquake in the land of Israel. 20And the fish of the sea, the birds of the sky, the beasts of the field, all the creeping things that creep on the ground, and all the men who are on the face of the earth will quake at My presence; the mountains also will be pulled down, the steep pathways will fall, and every wall will fall to the earth. 21And I will call for a sword against him on all My mountains," declares Lord Yahweh. "Every man's sword will be against his brother. 22With pestilence and with blood I will enter into judgment with him; and I will rain on him and on his troops, and on the numerous peoples who are with him, a torrential rain, with hailstones, fire, and brimstone. 23And I will magnify Myself, I will manifest Myself as holy, and I will make Myself known in the sight of many nations; and they will know that I am Yahweh."'
