‏ Ezekiel 38:14-16

The Judgment of Gog and Magog

This part of the chapter repeats and emphasizes the earlier prophecy about Gog and Magog. God wants his people to pay close attention because what he says is certain. The prophecy shows that even when powerful enemies attack, God is in control. He allows these things to happen so that everyone will see his power and holiness when he saves his people and defeats their enemies.

v. 14-16: God tells Ezekiel to prophesy again to Gog. He says that Gog will come from the north with a huge army, like a cloud covering the land of Israel. The enemy will attack when Israel is living safely. God allows this to happen so that the nations will see his greatness when he defeats Gog. God’s people may seem unprotected, but God himself is their shield. The enemy will learn that no one can harm God’s people without facing God’s power (Ezekiel 38:14-16; Micah 4:11-12 a).
