New Testament

Ezekiel 39:1-11 New Century Version (NCV)

1. “Human, prophesy against Gog and say, ‘This is what the Lord God says: I am against you, Gog, chief ruler of Meshech and Tubal.

2. I will turn you around and lead you. I will bring you from the far north and send you to attack the mountains of Israel.

3. I will knock your bow out of your left hand and throw down your arrows from your right hand.

4. You, all your troops, and the nations with you will fall dead on the mountains of Israel. I will let you be food for every bird that eats meat and for every wild animal.

5. You will lie fallen on the ground, because I have spoken, says the Lord God.

6. I will send fire on Magog and those who live in safety on the coastlands. Then they will know that I am the Lord.

7. “ ‘I will make myself known among my people Israel, and I will not let myself be dishonored anymore. Then the nations will know that I am the Lord, the Holy One in Israel.

8. It is coming! It will happen, says the Lord God. The time I talked about is coming.

9. “ ‘Then those who live in the cities of Israel will come out and make fires with the enemy’s weapons. They will burn them, both large and small shields, bows and arrows, war clubs, and spears. They will use the weapons to burn in their fires for seven years.

10. They will not need to take wood from the field or chop firewood from the forests, because they will make fires with the weapons. In this way they will take the treasures of those who took their treasures; they will take the loot of those who took their loot, says the Lord  God.

11. “ ‘At that time I will give Gog a burial place in Israel, in the Valley of the Travelers, east of the Dead Sea. It will block the road for travelers. Gog and all his army will be buried there, so people will call it The Valley of Gog’s Army.
