Eze 38:9-23, Joe 3:9-14, Mic 7:15-17, Zec 14:2-3 | ESV | STEP | You will advance , coming on like a storm . You will be like a cloud covering the land , you and all your hordes , and many peoples with you.

9 You will advance, coming on ^alike a storm. You will be ^blike a cloud covering the land, you and all your ^chordes, and many peoples with you.

10 “Thus says the Lord God: On that day, ^dthoughts will come into your mind, and you will devise an evil scheme 11 and say, ‘I will go up against ^ethe land of unwalled villages. I will fall upon ^fthe quiet people who dwell securely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having no bars or gates,’ 12 to seize spoil and carry off plunder, to turn your hand against ^gthe waste places that are now inhabited, and ^hthe people who were gathered from the nations, who have acquired livestock and goods, ⁱwho dwell at the center of the earth. 13 ^jSheba and ^kDedan and the merchants of Tarshish and all ^lits leaders ^{▼▼Hebrew young lions} will say to you, ‘Have you come to seize spoil? Have you assembled your hosts to carry off plunder, to carry away silver and gold, to take away livestock and goods, to seize great spoil?’

14 “Therefore, ⁿson of man, prophesy, and say to ^oGog, Thus says the Lord God: On that day when my people Israel are ^pdwelling securely, ^qwill you not know it? 15 You will come from your place out of ^rthe uttermost parts of the north, you and ^smany peoples with you, ^tall of them riding on horses, a great host, a mighty army. 16 You will come up against my people Israel, ^ulike a cloud covering the land. ^vIn the latter days I will bring you against my land, that the nations may know me, when through you, O Gog, ^wI vindicate my holiness before their eyes.

17 “Thus says the Lord God: Are you ^xhe of whom I spoke in former days by my servants the prophets of Israel, who in those days prophesied for years that I would bring you against them? 18 But on that day, the day that Gog shall come against the land of Israel, declares the Lord God, ^ymy wrath will be roused in my anger. 19 For ^zin my jealousy and in my blazing wrath I declare, On that day ^aathere shall be a great earthquake in the land of Israel. 20 ^abThe fish of the sea and the birds of the heavens and the beasts of the field and all creeping things that creep on the ground, and all the people who are on the face of the earth, ^acshall quake at my presence. And ^adthe mountains shall be thrown down, and the cliffs shall fall, and every wall shall tumble to the ground. 21 ^aeI will summon a sword against Gog ^{▼▼Hebrew against him} on all my mountains, declares the Lord God. ^agEvery man’s sword will be against his brother. 22 With pestilence and bloodshed ^ahI will enter into judgment with him, and ^aiI will rain upon him and ^ajhis hordes and the many peoples who are with him ^aktorrential rains and hailstones, ^alfire and sulfur. 23 So I will show my greatness and my ^amholiness and ^anmake myself known in the eyes of many nations. Then ^aothey will know that I am the Lord.

Joel 3:9-14

9 Proclaim this among the nations:
^apConsecrate for war; ^{▼▼Or Consecrate a war}
stir up the mighty men.
Let all the men of war draw near;
let them come up.
10 ^arBeat your plowshares into swords,
and ^asyour pruning hooks into spears;
let the weak say, “I am a warrior.”
11 ^atHasten and come,
all you surrounding nations,
and gather yourselves there.
^auBring down your warriors, O Lord.
12 Let the nations stir themselves up
and come up to ^avthe Valley of Jehoshaphat;
^awfor there I will sit to judge
all the surrounding nations.
13 ^axPut in the sickle,
^ayfor the harvest is ripe.
^azGo in, tread,
^bafor the winepress is full.
The vats overflow,
for their evil is great.
14 Multitudes, multitudes,
in the valley of decision!
For ^bbthe day of the Lord is near
in the valley of decision.

Micah 7:15-17

15 ^bcAs in the days when you came out of the land of Egypt,
I will show them ^{▼▼Hebrew him} marvelous things.
16 ^beThe nations shall see and be ashamed of all their might;
^bfthey shall lay their hands on their mouths;
their ears shall be deaf;
17 ^bgthey shall lick the dust like a serpent,
like the crawling things of the earth;
^bhthey shall come trembling out of their strongholds;
^bithey shall turn in dread to the Lord our God,
and they shall be in fear of you.

Zechariah 14:2-3

2 For ^bjI will gather all the nations against Jerusalem to battle, and ^bkthe city shall be taken ^bland the houses plundered ^bmand the women raped. ^bnHalf of the city shall go out into exile, but the rest of the people shall not be cut off from the city. 3 ^boThen the Lord will go out and fight against those nations as when he fights on a day of battle.
