Ezekiel 38

YHWH commands Ezekiel to prophesy against Gog of Magog, a powerful ruler who will lead a vast coalition of nations against the restored land of Israel in the latter years.[1][3] YHWH will demonstrate His fury through a great earthquake and send pestilence, bloodshed, torrential rain, hailstones, fire, and sulfur to destroy Gog and his armies, thereby magnifying His holiness before all nations.[2][4]
