Ezekiel 39:5 — Meaning and Application

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

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, and {to} the beasts of the field to be devoured. {sort: Heb. wing} {to be...: Heb. to devour}

Thou shalt fall upon the open field: for I have spoken {it}, saith the Lord GOD. {the open...: Heb. the face of the field}

And I will send a fire on Magog, and among them that dwell carelessly in the isles: and they shall know that I {am} the LORD. {carelessly: or, confidently}

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.
