Ezekiel 39:1-29, NLT
Ezekiel 39
The Slaughter of Gog’s Hordes
1“Son of man, prophesy against Gog. Give him this message from the Sovereign Lord: I am your enemy, O Gog, ruler of the nations of Meshech and Tubal.
7“In this way, I will make known my holy name among my people of Israel. I will not let anyone bring shame on it. And the nations, too, will know that I am the Lord, the Holy One of Israel.
9“Then the people in the towns of Israel will go out and pick up your small and large shields, bows and arrows, javelins and spears, and they will use them for fuel. There will be enough to last them seven years!
11“And I will make a vast graveyard for Gog and his hordes in the Valley of the Travelers, east of the Dead Sea.*39:11 Hebrew the sea. It will block the way of those who travel there, and they will change the name of the place to the Valley of Gog’s Hordes.
14“After seven months, teams of men will be appointed to search the land for skeletons to bury, so the land will be made clean again.
17“And now, son of man, this is what the Sovereign Lord says: Call all the birds and wild animals. Say to them: Gather together for my great sacrificial feast. Come from far and near to the mountains of Israel, and there eat flesh and drink blood!
21“In this way, I will demonstrate my glory to the nations. Everyone will see the punishment I have inflicted on them and the power of my fist when I strike.
Restoration for God’s People
25“So now, this is what the Sovereign Lord says: I will end the captivity of my people*39:25 Hebrew of Jacob.; I will have mercy on all Israel, for I jealously guard my holy reputation!
