Ezekiel 38 · Grade 5

The Last Enemy

Name Date

Read and Think

Ezekiel 38-39 describe a great battle in the latter years, after Israel's restoration. Gog, of the land of Magog, prince of Meshech and Tubal, leads a coalition from the far north and from the ends of the known world: Persia, Cush, Put, Gomer, and Beth Togarmah. The names may be symbolic of all hostile nations. Interpreters differ on whether this is a specific future event or a picture of the final defeat of evil.

Gog's motive is greed. He plans to attack a people dwelling securely, without walls, bars, or gates, and to take plunder. But the chapter makes clear that God is sovereign over Gog's plans. God says he will bring Gog against his land, so that the nations will know him when he is sanctified through Gog before their eyes.

God's victory is total and comes through cosmic signs: a great shaking, mountains thrown down, rain, great hailstones, fire, and sulfur. Gog's armies even turn on one another. The purpose is stated plainly: God will make himself known in the eyes of many nations. In the New Testament, Revelation 20:8 uses the names Gog and Magog for the nations gathered in the final rebellion before God's last victory.
