| Ezekiel 39
|
| | 39:1
Therefore, thou son of man, prophesy against Gog, and say, Thus saith the
Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and
Tubal: |
| | 39:2
And I will turn thee back, and leave but the sixth part of thee, and will
cause thee to come up from the north parts, and will bring thee upon the
mountains of Israel: |
| | 39:3
And I will smite thy bow out of thy left hand, and will cause thine arrows
to fall out of thy right hand. |
| | 39:4
Thou shalt fall upon the mountains of Israel, thou, and all thy bands, and
the people that is with thee: I will give thee unto the ravenous birds of every
sort, and to the beasts of the field to be devoured. |
(39:4, 17-20, 28)
"Ye shall eat the flesh of the mighty, and drink the blood of
the princes of the earth.... And ye shall eat fat till ye be full, and drink blood till ye be drunken....
Then shall they know that I am the LORD."
God will have birds and beasts eat human flesh and drink human blood until
they are full and drunken.
| | 39:5
Thou shalt fall upon the open field: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord
GOD.
| | 39:6
And I will send a
fire on Magog, and among them that dwell carelessly in the isles: and they
shall know that I am the LORD. |
(39:6-7)
God "will send a fire on Magog ... and the heathen shall know that I am
the Lord."
| | 39:7
So will I make my holy name known in the midst of my people Israel; and I
will not let them pollute my holy name any more: and the heathen shall know
that I am the LORD, the Holy One in Israel. |
| | 39:8
Behold, it is come, and it is done, saith the Lord GOD; this is the day
whereof I have spoken. |
| | 39:9
And they that dwell in the cities of Israel shall go forth, and shall set
on fire and burn the weapons, both the shields and the bucklers, the bows
and the arrows, and the handstaves, and the spears, and they shall burn them
with fire seven years: |
| | 39:10
So that they shall take no wood out of the field, neither cut down any out
of the forests; for they shall burn the weapons with fire: and they shall spoil those
that spoiled them, and rob those that robbed them, saith the Lord GOD. |
"And they shall spoil those
that spoiled them, and rob those that robbed them, saith the Lord GOD."
Is it wrong to steal?
| | 39:11
And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will give unto Gog a place
there of graves in Israel, the valley of the passengers on the east of the
sea: and it shall stop the noses of the passengers: and there shall they
bury Gog and all his multitude: and they shall call it The valley of
Hamongog. |
| | 39:12
And seven months shall the house of Israel be burying of them, that they
may cleanse the land. |
| | 39:13
Yea, all the people of the land shall bury them; and it shall be to them a
renown the day that I shall be glorified, saith the Lord GOD. |
| | 39:14
And they shall sever out men of continual employment, passing through the
land to bury with the passengers those that remain upon the face of the
earth, to cleanse it: after the end of seven months shall they search. |
| | 39:15
And the passengers that pass through the land, when any seeth a man's
bone, then shall he set up a sign by it, till the buriers have buried it in
the valley of Hamongog. |
| | 39:16
And also the name of the city shall be Hamonah. Thus shall they cleanse
the land. |
| | 39:17
And, thou son of man, thus
saith the Lord GOD; Speak unto every feathered fowl, and to every beast of
the field, Assemble yourselves, and come; gather yourselves on every side to
my sacrifice that I do sacrifice for you, even a great sacrifice upon the
mountains of Israel, that ye may eat flesh, and drink blood. |
| 39:18
Ye shall eat the
flesh of the mighty, and drink the blood of the princes of the
earth, of rams, of lambs, and of goats, of bullocks, all of them
fatlings of Bashan.|
| | 39:19
And ye shall eat
fat till ye be full, and drink blood till ye be drunken, of my sacrifice
which I have sacrificed for you. |
| | 39:20
Thus ye shall be filled at my table with horses and chariots, with mighty
men, and with all men of war, saith the Lord GOD. |
| | 39:21
And I will set my glory among the heathen, and all the heathen shall see
my judgment that I have executed, and my hand that I have laid upon them. |
| | 39:22
So the house of Israel shall know that I am the LORD their God from that
day and forward. |
| | 39:23
And the heathen shall know that the house of Israel went into captivity
for their iniquity: because they trespassed against me, therefore hid I my
face from them, and gave them into the hand of their enemies: so fell they
all by the sword. |
(39:23-24)
God hid his face from the Israelites, refusing to hear their prayers, while giving
"them into the hand of their enemies: so fell they all by the sword."
| | 39:24
According to their uncleanness and according to their transgressions have
I done unto them, and hid my face from them. |
| | 39:25
Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Now will I bring again the captivity of
Jacob, and have mercy upon the whole house of Israel, and will be jealous
for my holy name; |
| | 39:26
After that they have borne their shame, and all their trespasses whereby
they have trespassed against me, when they dwelt safely in their land, and
none made them afraid. |
| | 39:27
When I have brought them again from the people, and gathered them out of
their enemies' lands, and am sanctified in them in the sight of many
nations; |
| | 39:28
Then shall they
know that I am the LORD their God, which caused them to be led into
captivity among the heathen: but I have gathered them unto their own land,
and have left none of them any more there. |
| | 39:29
Neither will I hide my face any more from them: for I have poured out my
spirit upon the house of Israel, saith the Lord GOD.
