  1. Isaiah 66:18 The meaning of the Hebrew for this clause is uncertain.

14 “Therefore, son of man, prophesy and say to Gog, ‘Thus says the Lord God: (A)“On that day when My people Israel (B)dwell safely, will you not know it? 15 (C)Then you will come from your place out of the far north, you and many peoples with you, all of them riding on horses, a great company and a mighty army. 16 You will come up against My people Israel like a cloud, to cover the land. It will be in the latter days that I will bring you against My land, so that the nations may (D)know Me, when I am (E)hallowed in you, O Gog, before their eyes.” 17 Thus says the Lord God: “Are you he of whom I have spoken in former days by My servants the prophets of Israel, who prophesied for years in those days that I would bring you against them?

Judgment on Gog

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 (F)in My jealousy (G)and in the fire of My wrath I have spoken: (H)‘Surely in that day there shall be a great [a]earthquake in the land of Israel, 20 so that (I)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. (J)The mountains shall be thrown down, the steep places shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground.’ 21 I will (K)call for (L)a sword against Gog throughout all My mountains,” says the Lord God. (M)“Every man’s sword will be against his brother. 22 And I will (N)bring him to judgment with (O)pestilence and bloodshed; (P)I will rain down on him, on his troops, and on the many peoples who are with him, flooding rain, (Q)great hailstones, fire, and brimstone. 23 Thus I will magnify Myself and (R)sanctify Myself, (S)and I will be known in the eyes of many nations. Then they shall know that I am the Lord.” ’

17 “‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: You are the one I spoke of in former days by my servants the prophets of Israel. At that time they prophesied for years that I would bring you against them. 18 This is what will happen in that day: When Gog attacks the land of Israel, my hot anger will be aroused, declares the Sovereign Lord. 19 In my zeal and fiery wrath I declare that at that time there shall be a great earthquake(H) in the land of Israel.(I) 20 The fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, the beasts of the field, every creature that moves along the ground, and all the people on the face of the earth will tremble(J) at my presence. The mountains will be overturned,(K) the cliffs will crumble(L) and every wall will fall to the ground.(M) 21 I will summon a sword(N) against Gog on all my mountains, declares the Sovereign Lord. Every man’s sword will be against his brother.(O) 22 I will execute judgment(P) on him with plague and bloodshed;(Q) I will pour down torrents of rain, hailstones(R) and burning sulfur(S) on him and on his troops and on the many nations with him.(T) 23 And so I will show my greatness and my holiness, and I will make myself known in the sight of many nations. Then they will know that I am the Lord.(U)
