when my sanctuary shall be in the midst of them for ever.

Ezechiel Chapter 38

Gog shall persecute the church in the latter days. He shall be
overthrown.

38:1. And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:

38:2. Son of man, set thy face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief
prince of Mosoch and Thubal: and prophesy of him,

Gog... This name, which signifies hidden or covered, is taken in this
place, either for the persecutors of the church of God in general, or
some arch-persecutor in particular: such as Antichrist shall be in the
latter days. See Apoc. 20.8. And what is said of the punishment of Gog,
is verified by the unhappy ends of persecutors.-Ibid. Magog... Scythia
or Tartary, from whence the Turks, and other enemies of the church of
Christ, originally sprung.

38:3. And say to him: Thus saith the Lord God: Behold, I come against
thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Mosoch and Thubal.

38:4. And I will turn thee about, and I will put a bit in thy jaws: and
I will bring thee forth, and all thy army, horses and horsemen all
clothed with coats of mail, a great multitude, armed with spears and
shields and swords.

38:5. The Persians, Ethiopians, and Libyans with them, all with shields
and helmets.

38:6. Gomer, and all his bands, the house of Thogorma, the northern
parts and all his strength, and many peoples with thee.

38:7. Prepare and make thyself ready, and all thy multitude that is
assembled about thee, and be thou commander over them.

38:8. After many days thou shalt be visited: at the end of years thou
shalt come to the land that is returned from the sword, and is gathered
out of many nations, to the mountains of Israel which have been
continually waste: but it hath been brought forth out of the nations,
and they shall all of them dwell securely in it.

38:9. And thou shalt go up and come like a storm, and like a cloud to
cover the land, thou and all thy bands and many people with thee.

38:10. Thus saith the Lord God: In that day projects shall enter into
thy heart, and thou shalt conceive a mischievous design.

38:11. And thou shalt say: I will go up to the land which is without a
wall, I will come to them that are at rest, and dwell securely: all
these dwell without a wall, they have no bars nor gates:

38:12. To take spoils, and lay hold on the prey, to lay thy hand upon
them that had been wasted, and afterwards restored, and upon the people
that is gathered together out of the nations
