Excerpts From
Ezekiel 38-39:
- 2 “Son of man, set your face against
Gog, of the land of Magog, the prince of Rosh,
Meshech, and Tubal, and prophesy against him, 3 and say, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD: “Behold, I am
against you, O Gog, the prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal. 4 I will turn you around, put hooks into
your jaws, and lead you out, with all your army, horses, and horsemen, all
splendidly clothed, a great company with bucklers and shields, all of
them handling swords. 5 Persia,
Ethiopia,
and Libya
are with them, all of them with shield and helmet; 6 Gomer and all its troops; the house of Togarmah
from the far north and all its troops—many people are with
you.
- 18 “And it will come to pass at the
same time, when Gog comes against the land of Israel,” says the Lord GOD,
“that My fury will show in My face. 19 For in My jealousy and in the fire of My wrath I
have spoken: ‘Surely in that day there shall be a great earthquake in the land
of Israel, 20 so that the fish of the
sea, the birds of the heavens, the beasts of the field, all creeping things that
creep on the earth, and all men who are on the face of the earth shall
shake at My presence. The mountains shall be thrown down, the steep places shall
fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground.’ 21 I will call for a sword against Gog throughout all My
mountains,” says the Lord GOD. “Every man’s sword will be against his brother.
22 And I will bring him to judgment
with pestilence and bloodshed; I will rain down on him, on his troops, and on
the many peoples who are with him, flooding rain, great hailstones, fire,
and brimstone. 23 Thus I will magnify
Myself and sanctify Myself, and I will be known in the eyes of many nations.
Then they shall know that I am the LORD.”’
- “And you, son of man, prophesy against Gog, and say, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD:
“Behold, I am against you, O Gog, the prince of Rosh,
Meshech, and Tubal; 2 and I will turn
you around and lead you on, bringing you up from the far north, and bring you
against the mountains of Israel. 3
Then I will knock the bow out of your left hand, and cause the arrows to fall
out of your right hand. 4
- 11 “It will come to pass in that day
that I will give Gog a burial place there in Israel, the valley of those
who pass by east of the sea; and it will obstruct travelers, because there they
will bury Gog and all his multitude. Therefore they will call it the
Valley of Hamon Gog.
12 For seven months the house of
Israel will be burying them, in order to cleanse the land.
A remnant of Persia, which is also Elam,
will be preserved:
34 The word of the LORD that
came to Jeremiah the prophet against Elam, in the beginning of the reign of
Zedekiah king of Judah, saying,
35
“Thus says the LORD of hosts:
‘ Behold, I will break the bow
of Elam,
The foremost of their might.
36 Against Elam I will bring the four winds
From
the four quarters of heaven,
And scatter them toward all those winds;
There shall be no nations where the outcasts of Elam will not go.
37 For I will cause Elam
to be dismayed before their enemies
And before those who seek their
life.
I will bring disaster upon them,
My fierce anger,’
says the LORD;
‘ And I will send the sword after them
Until I have consumed them.
38 I will set My throne in Elam,
And will destroy
from there the king and the princes,’ says the LORD.
39 ‘ But it shall come to pass in the
latter days:
I will bring back the captives of Elam,’ says the LORD.”
Yet:
27 “ But do not fear, O My servant Jacob,
And do
not be dismayed, O Israel!
For behold, I will save you from afar,
And your offspring from the land of their captivity;
Jacob
shall return, have rest and be at ease;
No one shall make him
afraid.
28 Do not fear, O
Jacob My servant,” says the LORD,
“ For I am with you;
For I will make a complete end of all the nations
To which I
have driven you,
But I will not make a complete end of you.
I will rightly correct you,
For I will not leave you wholly
unpunished.”
So, either way, Iran but for a remnant is going bye-bye.
