Ezekiel 38:16

Read in context

Ezekiel 38:14–18 · Berean Standard Bible

14 Therefore prophesy, son of man, and tell Gog that this is what the Lord GOD says: On that day when My people Israel are dwelling securely, will you not take notice of this?

15 And you will come from your place out of the far north—you and many peoples with you, all riding horses—a mighty horde, a huge army.

16 You will advance against My people Israel like a cloud covering the land. It will happen in the latter days, O Gog, that I will bring you against My land, so that the nations may know Me when I show Myself holy in you before their eyes.

17 This is what the Lord GOD says: Are you the one of whom I have spoken in former days through My servants, the prophets of Israel, who in those times prophesied for years that I would bring you against them?

18 Now on that day when Gog comes against the land of Israel, declares the Lord GOD, My wrath will flare up.
