Ezekiel 39

An interesting discussion on the 2nd coming here: http://www.studylight.org/forums/viewtopic.php?p=38604
led me to go back and read Ezekiel 38 and 39...

Ezekiel 39:6-8 (amp)

I will send fire on Magog (Israel?) and upon those who dwell securely in the coastlands, and they shall know, understand, and realize that I am the Lord, the Sovereign Ruler, Who calls forth loyalty and obedient service. And I will make My holy name known in the midst of My people Israel, and I will not let them profane My holy name any more; and the nations shall know, understand and realize that I am the Lord, the Holy One of Israel. Behold, it is coming and it will be done, says the Lord God; that is the day of which I have spoken.

Ezekiel 39:21-29

And I will manifest My honor and glory among the nations, and all the nations shall see My judgment and justice in the punishment which I have executed and My hand which I have laid on them. So the house fo Israel shall know, understand, and realize beyond all question that I am the Lord their God from that day forward. And the nations shall know, understand and realize positively that the house of Israel went into captivity for their iniquity, because they trespassed against Me; and I hid My face from them. So I gave them into the hand of their enemies and they all fell into captivity or were slain by the power of the sword. According to their uncleanness and according to their transgressions I dealt with them and hid My face from them.

Therefore thus says the Lord God: Now will I reverse the captivity of Jacob and have mercy upon the whole house of Israel and will be jealous for My holy name. They shall forget their shame and self-reproach and all their treachery and unfaithfulness in which they have transgressed against Me, when they dwell securely in their land and there is none who makes them afraid. When I have brought them again from the peoples and gathered them out of their enemies' lands, and My justice and holiness are set apart and vindicated through them in the sight of many nations, then shall they know, understand, and realize positively that I am the Lord their God, because I sent them into captivity and exile among the nations and then gathered them to their own land. I will leave none of them remaining among the nations any more. Neither will I hide My face any more then from them, when I have poured out My Spirit upon the house of Israel; says the Lord God.
