Azaky'AL (Ezekiel) — 38
A Message for Gug
1 This is another message that came to me from 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH:
2 “Son of man, turn and face Gug of the land of Magug, the prince who rules over the nations of Mashach and Tubal, and prophesy against him.
3 Give him this message from 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH: Gug, I am your enemy!
4 I will turn you around and put hooks in your jaws to lead you out with your whole army, your horses and charioteers in full armor and a great horde armed with shields and swords.
5 Persia, Athiupia, and Libya will join you, too, with all their weapons.
6 Gumar and all its armies will also join you, along with the armies of Bath-togarmah from the distant north, and many others.
7 “Get ready; be prepared! Keep all the armies around you mobilized, and take command of them.
8 A long time from now you will be called into action. In the distant future you will swoop down on the land of Mitzraym, which will be enjoying Shalum after recovering from war and after its people have returned from many lands to the mountains of Yashar'AL.
9 You and all your allies, a vast and awesome army, will roll down on them like a storm and cover the land like a cloud.
10 “This is what 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH Dabar: At that time evil thoughts will come to your mind, and you will devise a wicked scheme.
11 You will say, Yashar'AL is an unprotected land filled with unwalled villages! I will march against her and destroy these people who live in such confidence!
12 I will go to those formerly desolate cities that are now filled with people who have returned from exile in many nations. I will capture vast amounts of plunder, for the people are rich with livestock and other possessions now. They think the whole world revolves around them!’
13 But Shaba and Dadan and the merchants of Tarshish will ask, ‘Do you really think the armies you have gathered can rob them of silver and gold? Do you think you can drive away their livestock and seize their goods and carry off plunder?’
14 “Therefore, son of man, prophesy against Gug, give him this message from 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH Tsaba'ut: When my people are living in Shalum in their land, then you will rouse yourself.
15 You will come from your homeland in the distant north with your vast cavalry and your mighty army,
16 And you will attack my people Yashar'AL, covering their land like a cloud. At that time in the distant future, I will bring you against my land as everyone watches, and my Qadash Kabad will be displayed by what happens to you, Gug. Then all the nations will know that I Am 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH the AL'Mighty One.
17 “This is what 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH Dabar: Are you the one I was talking about long ago, when I announced through Yashar'AL’s Nabyms that in the future I would bring you against my people?
18 But this is what 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH Dabar: When Gug invades the land of Yashar'AL, My fury will boil over!
19 In My jealousy and blazing anger, I promise a mighty shaking in the land of Yashar'AL on that day.
20 All living things, the fish in the Yam (sea), the birds of the sky, the animals of the field, the small animals that scurry along the ground, and all the people on the Arath will quake in terror at my presence. Mountains will be thrown down; cliffs will crumble; walls will fall to the Arath.
21 I will summon the sword against you on all the hills of Yashar'AL, says 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH. Your men will turn their swords against each other.
22 I will punish you and your armies with disease and bloodshed; I will send torrential rain, hailstones, fire, and burning sulfur!
23 In this way, I will show my greatness and Qadash Kabad, and I will make myself known to all the nations of the world, then they will know that I Am 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH the AL'Mighty One.
