"My fury will show in My face"

Text: Ezekiel 38:18

THE FURY OF GOD

When Gog leads his allies to attack Israel, the Lord will reveal and display His fury against the enemies. The Lord will stand up to defend His people as He had promised. He had not brought them back to Israel only to be killed by Gog of Magog.

“‘And it will come to pass at the same time,
when Gog comes against the land of Israel,’
says the Lord God, ‘that My fury will show in My face.
For in My jealousy and in the fire of My wrath I have spoken:
‘Surely in that day there shall be
a great earthquake in the land of Israel,
so that the fish of the sea,
the birds of the heavens, the beasts of the field,
all creeping things that creep on the earth,
and all men who are on the face of the earth
shall shake at My presence.
The mountains shall be thrown down,
the steep places shall fall,
and every wall shall fall to the ground.””
