Timeless TaNaKh. Exploration & Explanation of Ezekiel 38-39

Ezekiel 38-39


1Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying:

2"Son of man, set your face toward Gog, [toward] the land of Magog, the prince, the head of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy concerning him.

3And you shall say; So said the Lord G-d: Behold, I am against you, Gog, the prince, the head of Meshech and Tubal.

4And I shall unbridle you, and I shall put hooks into your jaws and bring you forth and all your army, horses and riders, all of them clothed in finery, a great assembly, with encompassing shield and buckler, all of them grasping swords.

5Persia, Cush, and Put are with them; all of them with buckler and helmet.

6Gomer and all its wings, the house of Togarmah, the utmost parts of the north and all its wings, many peoples with you.

7Be prepared and make ready for yourself, you and all your assembly who are gathered about you, and you will be to them for a guardian.

8From many days you will be remembered; at the end of the years you will come to a land [whose inhabitants] returned from the sword, gathered from many peoples, upon the mountains of Israel, which had been continually laid waste, but it was liberated from the nations, and they all dwelt securely.

9And you will ascend; like mist you will come; like a cloud to cover the earth you will be; you and all your wings and many peoples with you.

10So said the Lord G-D: It will come to pass on that day that words will enter your heart and you will think a thought of evil.

11And you will say, "I shall ascend upon a land of open cities; I shall come upon the tranquil, who dwell securely; all of them living without a wall, and they have no bars or doors.

12To take spoil and to plunder loot, to return your hand upon the resettled ruins and to a people gathered from nations, acquiring livestock and possessions, dwelling on the navel of the earth.

13Sheba and Dedan and merchants of Tarshish and all its magnates will say to you, "Are you coming to take spoil? Have you assembled your assembly to plunder loot, to carry off silver and gold, to take livestock and possessions, to take much spoil?"

14Therefore, prophesy, O son of man, and say to Gog, So said the Lord G_D: Surely on that day, when My people dwells securely, you will know.

15And you will come from your place, from the utmost north, you and many peoples with you, all of them riding horses; a great assembly and a mighty army.

16And you will ascend upon My people Israel like a cloud to cover the earth; at the end of days it will be, and I shall bring you upon My land in order that the nations recognize Me when I am sanctified through you before their eyes, O Gog.

17So said the Lord G_D: Are you he about whom I spoke in ancient days through My servants, the prophets of Israel who prophesied in those days many years ago, to bring you upon them.

18And it will come to pass on that day, when Gog comes against the land of Israel, declares the Lord G_D, that My blazing indignation will flame in My nostrils.

19For in My jealousy and in the fire of My wrath I have spoken; Surely there shall be a great noise on that day in the land of Israel.

20And at My presence, the fishes of the sea and the birds of the heaven and the beasts of the field and all the creeping things that creep upon the earth and all the men who are upon the surface of the earth shall quake, and all the mountains shall be thrown down, and the cliffs shall fall to the ground.

21And I will call the sword against him upon all My mountains, says the Lord G-d: every man's sword shall be against his brother.

22And I will judge against him with pestilence and with blood, and rain bringing floods, and great hailstones, fire, and brimstone will I rain down upon him and upon his hordes and upon the many peoples that are with him.

23And I will reveal Myself in My greatness and in My holiness and will be recognized in the eyes of many nations, and they will know that I am the Lord.


Ezekiel 39


1And you, Son of man, prophesy about Gog, and say; So says the Lord G_d: Lo! I am against you, O Gog, prince and head of Meshech and Tubal.

2And I will unbridle and entice you and lead you up from the utmost parts of the north and bring you upon the mountains of Israel.

3And I will smite the bow out of your left hand and make your arrows fall from your right hand.

4Upon the mountains of Israel shall you fall, you and all your hordes, and the people that are with you; to the birds of prey, to all the winged creatures and the beasts of the field have I given you to be devoured.

5Upon the open field shall you fall, for I have spoken, says the Lord G_d.

6And I will send fire on Magog and on those who dwell in safety in the islands, and they will know that I am the Lord.

7And I will make known My Holy Name in the midst of My people Israel, and I will no longer cause My Holy Name to be profaned, and the nations will know that I, the Lord, am holy in Israel.

8Behold it is coming, and it will be, says the Lord G_d: that is the day whereof I have spoken.

9Then the inhabitants of the cities of Israel will go forth and make fires and heat up with the weapons, the bucklers, and the encompassing shields, the bows and the arrows and the handstaves and the spears, and burn them as fires for seven years.

10So that they shall carry no wood from the fields nor cut down any from the forests, for they shall make fires from the weapons. Thus will they spoil those who spoiled them and plunder those who plundered them, says the Lord G_d.

11And it shall come to pass on that day that I will give Gog a place there as a grave in Israel, the valley of them who pass along the east side of the sea, and it will then stop those who pass along. And there shall they bury Gog and all his hordes, and they shall call it the Valley of Hamon Gog [the masses of Gog].

12And seven months shall the House of Israel be burying them in order to purify the land.

13They will bury all the people of the land, and they will be renowned; it is a day when I will be glorified, says the Lord G_d.

14Men of continuous employment they shall separate, who pass through the land, burying those who pass through with those who are left on the surface of the land, in order to purify it, at the end of seven months shall they search.

15And when they that pass through shall pass and see a human bone, they shall build a sign next to it until the buriers bury it in the Valley of Hamon Gog.

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

17And you, son of man, so said the Lord G_d: Say to every winged bird and to every beast of the field, Assemble and come; gather from around My slaughter, which I am slaughtering for you in a great slaughter on the mountains of Israel, and you shall eat flesh and drink blood.

18The flesh of the mighty you shall eat and the blood of the princes of the earth you shall drink; rams, lambs, he-goats, and bulls, all of them fatlings of Bashan.

19And you shall eat fat until you are full, and you shall drink blood until you are drunk, from My slaughtering that I have slaughtered for you.

20And you shall be sated on My table with horses and riders, mighty men and all warriors, says the Lord G_d.

21And I shall publicize My glory among the nations, and all the nations will see My judgement that I performed and My hand that I place upon them.

22And the House of Israel will know that I am the Lord their G_d from that day on.

23And the nations will know that for their iniquity the House of Israel was exiled, because they betrayed Me, and I hid My face from them, and I delivered them into the hands of their adversaries, and they all fell by the sword.

24According to their defilement and according to their transgressions I did to them, and I hid My face from them.

25Therefore, so said the Lord G_d: Now I shall return to the captivity of Jacob, and I shall have compassion on the House of Israel, and I shall be zealous for My Holy Name.

26And they shall bear their disgrace and all their treachery that they committed against Me when they dwell on their land securely with no one frightening them.

27When I return them from the peoples and gather them from the lands of their enemies, I shall be sanctified through them before the eyes of many nations.

28And they will know that I am the Lord their G_D when I exile them to the nations, and I shall gather them to their land, and I shall no longer leave any of them there.

29And I shall no longer hide My face from them, for I shall have poured out My spirit upon the House of Israel," says the Lord G_D.

Transcript:


“A study was done at Hebrew University to compare all those Torah scrolls they found the following.


That out of the 80,000 or so words of Torah, word for word there was no difference whatsoever. They all have the same story; and when they examine it on a letter by letter basis.


Let’s look at how every single word is spelled. They found a few discrepancies. They found that out a book that is a total of three hundred and four thousand eight hundred and five letters long, there is actually nine discrepancies.


There is nine places where according to Ashkenazi European Torah scrolls, those words are written one way and according to the Sephardic Torah scrolls, those same words are spelled slightly differently. The same word with a missing letter or with an extra letter…”
