1 THEREFORE, thou son of man, prophesy against Gog, and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal:

2 And I will turn thee back, and leave but the sixth part of thee, [ This will still be millions of men. All 200 million men are not in Israel but there is at least 1/6 of them there. ] and will cause thee to come up from the north parts, and will bring thee upon the mountains of Israel:

3 And I will smite thy bow out of thy left hand, and will cause thine arrows to fall out of thy right hand.

4 Thou shalt fall upon the mountains of Israel, thou, and all thy bands, and the people that is with thee: I will give thee unto the ravenous birds of every sort, [ Verse 17. ] and to the beasts of the field to be devoured.

5  Thou [ Gog. ] shalt fall upon the open field: [ How this is going to happen we are not told other than they army of Gog will die where they are. (D&C 45:48) ] for I have spoken it, saith the Lord GOD.

6 And I will send a fire on Magog, and among them that dwell carelessly in the isles: and they shall know [ In Hebrew, the word for "know" is the word yada, which means not only learning about something or someone but experiencing something or someone. It is not a superficial experience of God but a profoundly intimate experience. In the Israelite worldview, The Old Testament is the foundation of this experience. ] that I am the LORD.

7 so will I make my holy name known in the midst of my people Israel; and I will not let them pollute my holy name any more: and the heathen shall know that I am the LORD, the Holy One in Israel.

8 ¶ Behold, it is come, and it is done, saith the Lord GOD; this is the day whereof I have spoken.

9 And they that dwell in the cities of Israel shall go forth, and shall set on fire and burn the weapons, both the shields and the bucklers, the bows and the arrows, and the handstaves, and the spears, and they shall burn them with fire seven [ Could be symbolic as 7 means perfect, or completion. So until they are completely destroyed. ] years:

10 so that they shall take no wood out of the field, neither cut down any out of the forests; for they shall burn the weapons with fire: and they shall spoil those that spoiled them, and rob those that robbed them, saith the Lord GOD.

11 ¶ And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will give unto Gog a place there of graves in Israel, the valley of the passengers on the east of the sea: [ The Mediterranean sea some 35 miles away. ] and it shall stop the noses of the passengers: [ Travelers. ] [ It will smell so bad that it can be smelt some 35 miles away. ] and there shall they bury Gog and all his multitude: and they shall call it The valley of Hamon-gog. [ Which means the multitude of Gog.]

12 And seven months shall the house of Israel be burying of them, that they may cleanse the land.

13 Yea, all the people of the land shall bury them; and it shall be to them a renown the day that I shall be glorified, saith the Lord GOD.

14 And they shall sever out men of continual employment, [ Those who will be employed to bury the dead. This will most likely not be with picks and shovels but will be with Cats digging deep trenches and them pushing the remains into the pit and then covering it over. ] passing through the land to bury with the passengers those that remain upon the face of the earth, to cleanse it: after the end of seven months shall they search.

15 And the passengers [ Travelors. Are these tourists that want to see things now that there is peace once again? ] that pass through the land, when any seeth a man’s bone, then shall he set up a sign by it, [ So this is kind of like the board of tourism has said to the tourists. We think that we have most of the remains buried but if you come upon a dead mans bone take this marker and place it by the bones and we will know to come pick them up and bury them. ] till the buriers have buried it in the valley of Hamon-gog.

16 And also the name of the city shall be Hamonah. Thus shall they cleanse the land.

17 ¶ And, thou son of man, thus saith the Lord GOD; Speak unto every feathered fowl, and to every beast of the field, Assemble yourselves, and come; gather yourselves on every side to my sacrifice that I do sacrifice for you, even a great sacrifice upon the mountains of Israel, that ye may eat flesh, and drink blood.

18 Ye shall eat the flesh of the mighty, and drink the blood of the princes of the earth, of rams, of lambs, and of goats, of bullocks, all of them fatlings of Bashan.

19 And ye shall eat fat till ye be full, and drink blood till ye be drunken, of my sacrifice [ Called the great supper of our God, where he will feed the animals of the earth upon the remains of the wicked men. There are so many dead that there is plenty to dine on. (Rev 19:17- )] which I have sacrificed for you.

20 Thus ye shall be filled at my table with horses and chariots, with mighty men, and with all men of war, saith the Lord GOD.

21 And I will set my glory among the heathen, [ The Gentiles. ] , and all the heathen [ Gentiles. ] shall see my judgment that I have executed, and my hand that I have laid upon them.

22 so the house of Israel shall know that I am the LORD their God from that day and forward. [ The faithful saints will rejoice 0 that finally this day is here. ]

23 ¶ And the heathen shall know that the house of Israel went into captivity for their iniquity: because they trespassed against me, therefore hid I my face from them, and gave them into the hand of their enemies: so fell they all by the sword.

24 According to their uncleanness and according to their transgressions have I done unto them, and hid my face from them.

25 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Now will I bring again the captivity of Jacob, and have mercy upon the whole house of Israel, [ All of Israel will be gathered home - finally. ] and will be jealous for my holy name;

26 After that they have borne their shame, and all their trespasses whereby they have trespassed against me, when they dwelt safely in their land, and none made them afraid.

27 When I have brought them again from the people, and gathered them out of their enemies’ lands, and am sanctified in them in the sight of many nations;

28 Then shall they know that I am the LORD their God, which caused them to be led into captivity among the heathen: [ Gentiles. ] : but I have gathered them unto their own land, and have left none of them any more there.

29  Neither will I hide my face any more from them: [ He will now walk with covenant Israel, faithful members of the church of Jesus Christ. We will see his face. ] for I have poured [ Hebrew "nasak" is a veiled reference to the ritual anointing of that group of people. ] out my spirit upon the house of Israel, saith the Lord GOD.
