1. A prophecy against Gog (38)

This event refers to the final judgment, and 'Israel' to the new Israel, the redeemed people of God. Gog is the ruler of a powerful nation; he leads many nations in an attack on Israel. This invasion is to take place when the land is peaceful and unsuspecting (8,11). The Lord's anger will be aroused (18). There will be a great earthquake, and every creature on earth will tremble. The Lord will execute judgment on Gog and on the nations with him. Thus, he will show his greatness and holiness to all the nations of the world. When evil men attack God's people, he stands on their side.

2. Israel's restoration (39)

Israel will become a giant graveyard for the invading armies (1-20). Then the Lord will display his glory among the nations of the world, for they will realize that Israel's punishment was to lead her to repentance. God will bless his people.
