Ostensibly, the revival prophecies climax with the nation\u2019s return to its land and its purification from sin. However, the process remains unfinished. The nation\u2019s revival occurs hand-in-hand with the strengthening of God\u2019s status in the world and God\u2019s status is only fully anchored after His war against Gog: a war that ends with the Divine promise that God will not hide His face from His people.<\/span><\/p>\n

The uniqueness of this prophecy in Ezekiel, compared to similar prophecies in Isaiah and Zechariah, lies in its scope, the explicit naming of the aggressors, and the timing of the war as specified in the prophecy: after the nation\u2019s return to its land.<\/span><\/p>\n

The purpose of the prophecy as a whole is emphasized in the final verse of chapter 38: \u201cThus will I magnify Myself and sanctify Myself, and I will make Myself known in the eyes of many nations, and they shall know that I am the Lord.\u201d (v. 23) This verse underlines the aim of God\u2019s war against Gog, as well as its result \u2013 knowledge of God among the nations. Thus, this prophecy is a response to the desecration of God\u2019s Name represented by the exile of the nation from its land and the destruction of the Temple.<\/span><\/p>\n
