New Testament

Ezekiel 39:14-24 New Century Version (NCV)

14. “ ‘The people of Israel will choose men to work through the land to make it clean. Along with others, they will bury Gog’s soldiers still lying dead on the ground. After the seven months are finished, they will still search.

15. As they go through the land, anyone who sees a human bone is to put a marker by it. The sign will stay there until the gravediggers bury the bone in The Valley of Gog’s Army.

16. A city will be there named Hamonah. So they will make the land clean again.’

17. “Human, this is what the Lord God says: Speak to every kind of bird and wild animal: ‘Come together, come! Come together from all around to my sacrifice, a great sacrifice which I will prepare for you on the mountains of Israel. Eat flesh and drink blood!

18. You are to eat the flesh of the mighty and drink the blood of the rulers of the earth as if they were fat animals from Bashan: male sheep, lambs, goats, and bulls.

19. You are to eat and drink from my sacrifice which I have prepared for you, eating fat until you are full and drinking blood until you are drunk.

20. At my table you are to eat until you are full of horses and riders, mighty men and all kinds of soldiers,’ says the Lord God.

21. “I will show my glory among the nations. All the nations will see my power when I punish them.

22. From that time onward the people of Israel will know that I am the Lord their God.

23. The nations will know Israel was taken away captive because they turned against me. So I turned away from them and handed them over to their enemies until all of them died in war.

24. Because of their uncleanness and their sins, I punished them and turned away from them.
