Ezekiel 38:7-23


7 “aBe prepared, and prepare yourself, you and all your assembly that are assembled about you, and be a guard for them.
8 aAfter many days you will be mustered; in the last years you will come into the land that is 1restored from the sword, whose inhabitants have been bgathered from many peoples to the cmountains of Israel which had been a continual waste; but 2its people were brought out from the peoples, and they are dliving securely, all of them. 9 And you will go up; you will come alike a storm; you will be like a bcloud covering the land, you and all your troops and many peoples with you.”
10 ‘Thus says Lord Yahweh, “It will be in that day, that 1thoughts will come into your heart, and you will adevise an evil plan,
11 and you will say, ‘I will go up against the land of 1aunwalled villages. I will go against those who bdwell quietly, that live securely, all of them living without walls and having no bars or gates, 12 to acapture spoil and to seize plunder, to turn your hand against the waste places, which are now inhabited, and against the people who are gathered from the nations, who have acquired cattle and property, who live at the 1center of the world.’ 13 aSheba and bDedan and the merchants of cTarshish with all its 1young lions will say to you, ‘Have you come to capture spoil? Have you assembled your assembly to seize plunder, to carry away silver and gold, to take away cattle and goods, to capture great dspoil?’”’
14 “Therefore prophesy, son of man, and say to Gog, ‘Thus says Lord Yahweh, “On that day when My people Israel are aliving securely, will you not know it?
15 aYou 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; 16 and 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 aknow Me when I bprove 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 aprophesied in those days for many years that I would bring you against them?
18 And 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 aanger. 19 In My azeal and in My blazing fury I have spoken that on that day there will surely be a great 1bearthquake in the land of Israel. 20 aAnd 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 bmountains also will be pulled down, the steep pathways will fall, and every wall will fall to the earth. 21 And I will call for a asword against 1him on all My mountains,” declares Lord Yahweh. “bEvery man’s sword will be against his brother. 22 With pestilence and with blood I will enter into ajudgment with him; and I will rain on him and on his troops, and on the numerous peoples who are with him, 1a torrential rain, with bhailstones, fire, and brimstone. 23 And I will magnify Myself, I will manifest Myself as holy, and I will amake Myself known in the sight of many nations; and they will know that I am Yahweh.”’

Zechariah 12:2-9

2 “Behold, I am going to make Jerusalem a acup 1that causes reeling to all the peoples all around. Now the one in siege against Jerusalem will also be against bJudah. 3 But it will be in that day, that I will make Jerusalem a heavy astone for all the peoples; all who heave it up will be bseverely 1injured. And all the cnations of the earth will be gathered against it. 4 In that day,” declares Yahweh, “I will strike every horse with bewilderment and his rider with madness. But I will open my eyes to watch over the house of Judah, while I strike every horse of the peoples with blindness. 5 Then the clans of Judah will say in their hearts, ‘1A strong support for us are the inhabitants of Jerusalem through Yahweh of hosts, their God.’
6 “In that day I will make the clans of Judah like a afiery laver among pieces of wood and a fiery torch among sheaves, so they will consume on the right hand and on the left all the surrounding peoples, while Jerusalem will again be binhabited in its own place—in Jerusalem.
7 Yahweh also will asave the tents of Judah first so that the glory of the house of bDavid and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem will not be magnified above Judah. 8 In that day Yahweh will adefend the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and the one who bstumbles among them in that day will be like David, and the house of David will be like cGod, like the dangel of Yahweh before them. 9 And it will be in that day, that I will aseek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.

Zechariah 14:2

2 Indeed, I will agather all the nations against Jerusalem to battle, and the city will be captured, the bhouses plundered, the women ravished, and half of the city will go forth in exile, but those left of the people will not be cut off from the city.

Zechariah 14:3

3 Then Yahweh will go forth and afight against those nations, as the day when He fights on a day of battle.
