Ezekiel 38 is a chapter in the Bible that contains a prophetic vision given to the prophet Ezekiel. In this chapter, Ezekiel receives a message from God regarding a future event involving a coalition of nations that will come against the people of Israel.
The chapter begins with God instructing Ezekiel to set his face against Gog, the leader of the land of Magog. Gog is described as a prince who will gather a group of nations, including Persia, Ethiopia, Libya, Gomer, and Togarmah, to form an alliance and march against Israel.
The purpose of this coalition is to seize plunder, take spoil, and attack a peaceful and unsuspecting Israel. However, God declares that He will intervene and bring judgment upon Gog and his armies. He will summon various natural forces, such as earthquakes and pestilence, to strike the invading forces and bring them to their demise.
The chapter concludes with a depiction of the aftermath of the battle, where the birds and beasts of the field will feast upon the fallen armies. The defeat of Gog and his allies will serve as a display of God’s power and glory among the nations, and the people of Israel will recognize His sovereignty.
