Parallels

  • Ezekiel 38:4 (structural): Immediate continuation of the oracle against Gog — the narrative follows the command to prophesy by describing God's action toward Gog ('I will turn thee back').
  • Ezekiel 39:1 (quotation): Reiterates the command to prophesy against Gog and repeats key names (Gog, Magog, chief prince of Meshech and Tubal), effectively restating the same prophetic judgment.
  • Genesis 10:2–3 (verbal): Lists the descendants of Japheth including Magog, Meshech and Tubal — the same ethnonyms used in Ezekiel's identification of Gog's origin.
  • 1 Chronicles 1:5–6 (verbal): Parallel genealogical listing that names Magog, Mesech (Meshech) and Tubal, corroborating the ancient ethnographic background of the names in Ezekiel 38:2.
  • Revelation 20:8 (allusion): References 'Gog and Magog' in an eschatological context — New Testament portrayal alludes to Ezekiel's prophetic tradition of a climactic northern foe.

Parallels

  • Ezekiel 38:2 (verbal): Immediate parallel within the same unit — the address to 'Gog' and identification as chief prince of Meshech and Tubal appears nearly verbatim in the preceding verse.
  • Ezekiel 39:1 (verbal): Continuation/repetition of the oracle — God again commands prophecy against Gog and repeats the divine opposition found in 38:3.
  • Genesis 10:2-3 (allusion): The Table of Nations lists Meshech and Tubal as descendants in the genealogy of nations (with Magog), providing the ancestral/ethnic background for the names used in Ezekiel's oracle.
  • Ezekiel 27:13 (thematic): Meshech and Tubal are named among foreign trading partners of Tyre here; the verse echoes the same ethnic/geographic markers Ezekiel uses to identify Gog's origin.
  • Revelation 20:8 (allusion): The apocalyptic figure 'Gog and Magog' reappears in Revelation as eschatological enemies; John’s use of the names alludes to Ezekiel’s prophetic tradition about hostile nations in the last days.

  • Isaiah 31:1-3 (thematic): Isaiah condemns reliance on horses and chariots and depicts mounted forces as human military strength that fails before divine purpose—paralleling Ezekiel’s emphasis on horsemen and God’s sovereign control over their fate.
  • Revelation 19:11-21 (structural): Apocalyptic battle-scene with mounted forces and swords culminating in divine victory; structurally parallels Ezekiel’s prophecy of a great armed host (horses and horsemen) and their ultimate defeat by God.

Therefore, son of man, prophesy and say to Gog, Thus says the Sovereign LORD: In that day, when my people Israel dwell securely, will you not know it?

You will come from your place out of the remotest parts of the north, you and many peoples with you, all of them riding on horses, a great company and a mighty army.

You will advance against my people Israel like a cloud to cover the land; in the latter days I will bring you against my land, that the nations may know me—when through you I vindicate my holiness before their eyes, O Gog. Thus says the Sovereign LORD: Are you the one of whom I spoke in former days by my servants the prophets of Israel, who prophesied in those days for many years that I would bring you against them? And it shall come to pass on that day, when Gog comes against the land of Israel, declares the Sovereign LORD, that my wrath will be roused in my anger.

For in my jealousy and in the fire of my wrath I have spoken: on that day there shall be a great earthquake in the land of Israel.

The fish of the sea and the birds of the heavens and the beasts of the field and all creeping things that creep on the ground, and all men who are on the face of the earth, will tremble at my presence; the mountains will be thrown down, the cliffs will fall, and every wall will fall to the ground.

I will call for a sword against him on every side, declares the Sovereign LORD: a man's sword will be against his brother.

I will execute judgments upon him with plague and with blood; I will pour down torrents of rain and hailstones, fire and brimstone upon him and upon his hordes and upon the many peoples who are with him. And I will magnify myself and sanctify myself, and make myself known in the sight of many nations; and they shall know that I am the LORD. And you, son of man, prophesy against Gog and say, Thus says the Sovereign LORD: Behold, I am against you, O Gog, prince of Rosh, Meshech and Tubal.

I will turn you about and put hooks into your jaws and lead you out, with all your army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with full armor, a great company, a mighty host.

I will strike your bow from your left hand and make your arrows fall from your right hand.

On the mountains of Israel you and all your hordes and the peoples who are with you shall fall; I will give you to the birds of prey of every sort and to the beasts of the field to be devoured.

You shall fall on the open field; for I have spoken it, declares the Sovereign LORD. And I will send fire on Magog and on those who live securely in the coastlands, and they shall know that I am the LORD. And I will make my holy name known in the midst of my people Israel, and I will not let my holy name be profaned any more; and the nations shall know that I am the LORD, the Holy One in Israel.

Behold, it is coming and it shall come to pass, declares the Sovereign LORD—this is the day of which I have spoken. And the inhabitants of the cities of Israel will go out and set the weapons on fire—both shields and bucklers, bows and arrows, handstaves and spears—and they will burn them with fire seven years.

They will not take wood from the field nor cut down any from the forests, for they will use the weapons with fire; and they will take the spoil for themselves and plunder the plunder for seven years.

On that day I will give Gog a burial place there in Israel, the valley of those who pass by toward the sea; and it shall block the way of those who pass by. There they shall bury Gog and all his multitude; and they shall call it the valley of Hamon-gog. And the house of Israel will bury them, to cleanse the land, seven months.

All the people of the land will bury them, and they will make renown for themselves on that day. They will set apart it as a day of renown; and it shall be to them a memorial. And those who are appointed will go through the land and bury those who remain on the face of the land, in order to cleanse it; at the end of seven months they will make their search. And when the passers-by pass through the land and see a man's bone, then he shall set up a marker beside it until the buriers have buried it in the valley of Hamon-gog. And there shall be a city called Hamonah; and they shall cleanse the land. And you, son of man, thus says the Sovereign LORD: Speak to every bird of every wing and to every beast of the field, Gather and come, assemble yourselves from all around to my great sacrificial feast that I sacrifice for you upon the mountains of Israel; eat flesh and drink blood.

You shall eat the flesh of the mighty and drink the blood of the princes of the earth—rams, lambs, goats, bulls—all the fatlings of Bashan.

You shall eat fat until you are full and drink blood until you are drunk, at my sacrificial table which I have sacrificed for you.

You shall be filled at my table with the flesh of horses and riders, with the flesh of mighty men and all the men of war, declares the Sovereign LORD. And I will set my glory among the nations, and all the nations shall see my judgment that I have executed, and my hand that I have laid upon them. So the house of Israel shall know that I am the LORD their God from that day onward. And the nations shall know that the house of Israel went into exile because of their iniquity—because they were unfaithful to me—and I hid my face from them and delivered them into the hand of their enemies, so that they fell by the sword.

I dealt with them according to their uncleanness and according to their transgressions I punished them; I hid my face from them.

Therefore thus says the Sovereign LORD: Now I will restore the fortunes of Jacob and have mercy on the whole house of Israel; and I will be jealous for my holy name.

They shall forget their shame and all their treachery by which they were treacherous against me; I will restore their fortunes, and they shall dwell in their land in safety and without fear.

When I bring them back from the peoples and gather them from the countries of their enemies, and am sanctified in them in the sight of many nations,

then they shall know that I am the LORD their God, when I bring them back into their own land; and I will no more leave any of them there among the nations.

I will not hide my face from them any longer, for I have poured out my Spirit upon the house of Israel, declares the Sovereign LORD.
