Ezekiel 38:16-18
1599 Geneva Bible
16 And thou shalt come up against my people of Israel, as a cloud to cover the land, thou shalt be in the [a]latter days, and I will bring thee upon my land, that the heathen may know me, when I [b]shall be sanctified in thee, O Gog, before their eyes.
17 Thus saith the Lord God, Art not thou he, of whom I have spoken in old time, [c]by the hand of my servants the Prophets of Israel which prophesied in those days and years, that I would bring thee upon them?
18 At the same time also when Gog shall come against the land of Israel, saith the Lord God, my wrath shall arise in mine anger.
