391 "And you, son of man , prophesy against Gog and say , 'Thus says the Lord GOD , "Behold , I am against you, O Gog , prince of Rosh , Meshech and Tubal ; 2 and I will turn you around , drive you on, take you up from the remotest parts of the north and bring you against the mountains of Israel . 3 "I will strike your bow from your left hand and dash down your arrows from your right hand . 4 "You will fall on the mountains of Israel , you and all your troops and the peoples who are with you; I will give you as food to every kind of predatory bird and beast of the field . 5 "You will fall on the open field ; for it is I who have spoken ," declares the Lord GOD . 6 "And I will send fire upon Magog and those who inhabit the coastlands in safety ; and they will know that I am the Lord . 7 "My holy name I will make known in the midst of My people Israel ; and I will not let My holy name be profaned anymore . And the nations will know that I am the Lord , the Holy One in Israel .
8 "Behold , it is coming and it shall be done ," declares the Lord GOD . "That is the day of which I have spoken . 9 "Then those who inhabit the cities of Israel will go out and make fires with the weapons and burn them, both shields and bucklers , bows and arrows , war clubs and spears , and for seven years they will make fires of them. 10 "They will not take wood from the field or gather firewood from the forests , for they will make fires with the weapons ; and they will take the spoil of those who despoiled them and seize the plunder of those who plundered them," declares the Lord GOD .

Commentary on Ezekiel 39:1-10
(Read Ezekiel 39:1-10)
The Lord will make the most careless and hardened transgressors know his holy name, either by his righteous anger, or by the riches of his mercy and grace. The weapons formed against Zion shall not prosper. Though this prophecy is to be fulfilled in the latter days, it is certain. From the language used, it seems that the army of Gog will be destroyed by miracle.
