4 I will turn you around and put hooks in your jaws and bring you out with all your army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed in splendor, a vast assembly with large shields and bucklers, all of them wielding swords;
5 Persia, E·thi·oʹpi·a, and Put are with them, all of them with buckler and helmet;
6 Goʹmer and all its troops, the house of To·garʹmah from the remotest parts of the north, along with all its troops—many peoples are with you.
7 “‘“Be ready, prepare yourselves, you with all your armies that are assembled with you, and you will be their commander.
8 “‘“You will be given attention after many days. In the final part of the years you will invade the land whose people have been restored from the ravages of the sword, collected together out of many peoples onto the mountains of Israel, which had long been lying devastated. The inhabitants of this land were restored from the peoples, and all of them dwell in security.
9 You will come against them like a storm, and you will cover the land like clouds, you and all your troops and many peoples with you.”’
10 “This is what the Sovereign Lord Jehovah says: ‘In that day thoughts will come into your heart, and you will devise an evil plan.
11 You will say: “I will invade the land of unprotected settlements. I will come against those living in security, without disturbance, all of them living in settlements unprotected by walls, bars, or gates.”
12 It will be to take much spoil and plunder, to attack the devastated places that are now inhabited and a people regathered from the nations, who are accumulating wealth and property, those who are living in the center of the earth.
13 “‘Sheʹban and Deʹdan, the merchants of Tarʹshish and all its warriors will say to you: “Are you invading to get much spoil and plunder? Have you assembled your armies to carry off silver and gold, to take wealth and property, to seize a very great spoil?”’
14 “So prophesy, son of man, and say to Gog, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord Jehovah says: “On that day when my people Israel are dwelling in security, will you not know it?
15 You will come from your place, from the remotest parts of the north, you and many peoples with you, all of them riding on horses, a great assembly, a vast army.
16 Like clouds covering the land, you will come against my people Israel. In the final part of the days I will bring you against my land so that the nations may know me when I sanctify myself through you before their eyes, O Gog.”’
Any thoughts on the bolded part of this section of scriptures in Ezekiel 38? What do you think the "dwelling in security" in the "land of unprotected settlements" "without walls, bars, or gates"? What is meant by "living in the center of the earth"?
I know who the King of the North will be at this time, the UN or 8th King, but what will the condition of God's people be at that time as described above? How will this come about?
Robert, if you've already written something on this, could you please post the link so I can read it? And, if you haven't written something on this, could you pretty please add it to your list? Thank you.
