Daily Meditation
23 Thus will I
magnify myself, and sanctify myself; and I will be known in the eyes of many
nations, and they shall know that I am the Lord.
Today’s Reading
Ezekiel
Chapter 38
Set Thy Face Against
Gog
1 And the word of
the Lord came unto me, saying, 2 Son of man, set thy face against Gog, the land
of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him, 3
and say, Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief
prince of Meshech and Tubal: 4 and I will turn thee back, and put hooks into
thy jaws, and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen,
all of them clothed with all sorts of armour, even a great company with
bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords: 5 Persia, Ethiopia, and
Libya with them; all of them with shield and helmet: 6 Gomer, and all his
bands; the house of Togarmah of the north quarters, and all his bands: and many
people with thee. 7 Be thou prepared, and prepare for thyself, thou, and all
thy company that are assembled unto thee, and be thou a guard unto them.
8 After many days
thou shalt be visited: in the latter years thou shalt come into the land that
is brought back from the sword, and is gathered out of many people, against the
mountains of Israel, which have been always waste: but it is brought forth out of
the nations, and they shall dwell safely all of them. 9 Thou shalt ascend and
come like a storm, thou shalt be like a cloud to cover the land, thou, and all
thy bands, and many people with thee.
10 Thus saith the
Lord God; It shall also come to pass, that at the same time shall things come
into thy mind, and thou shalt think an evil thought: 11 and thou shalt say, I
will go up to the land of unwalled villages; I will go to them that are at
rest, that dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither
bars nor gates, 12 to take a spoil, and to take a prey; to turn thine hand upon
the desolate places that are now inhabited, and upon the people that are
gathered out of the nations, which have gotten cattle and goods, that dwell in
the midst of the land. 13 Sheba, and Dedan, and the merchants of Tarshish, with
all the young lions thereof, shall say unto thee, Art thou come to take a
spoil? hast thou gathered thy company to take a prey? to carry away silver and
gold, to take away cattle and goods, to take a great spoil?
14 Therefore, son of
man, prophesy and say unto Gog, Thus saith the Lord God; In that day when my
people of Israel dwelleth safely, shalt thou not know it? 15 And thou shalt
come from thy place out of the north parts, thou, and many people with thee,
all of them riding upon horses, a great company, and a mighty army: 16 and thou
shalt come up against my people of Israel, as a cloud to cover the land; it
shall be in the latter days, and I will bring thee against my land, that the heathen
may know me, when I shall be sanctified in thee, O Gog, before their eyes.
