Ezekiel Chapters 37 - 39
Prayer
Lord God,
As I begin reading Ezekiel 37–39, quiet my heart and open my understanding. Help me hear Your voice in these chapters of promise, power, and restoration.
Where I feel dry and weary, breathe new life into me. Where things seem broken or divided, bring healing, unity, and hope. Teach me to trust that nothing is too far gone for Your restoring hand.
As I read of conflict and Your judgment, give me reverence for Your holiness and confidence in Your sovereignty. Remind me that You are faithful to Your people and jealous for Your name.
Let this reading deepen my faith, sharpen my discernment, and draw me into greater obedience. May I not only understand Your word, but be changed by it.
Amen.
Looking Back
In Ezekiel 36, God promises to vindicate His holy name by restoring Israel after exile: the devastated land will be renewed and made fruitful, the people will be gathered from the nations, cleansed from their uncleanness and idolatry, given a new heart and a new spirit, and empowered to walk in His ways—not because they deserve it, but because of His covenant faithfulness and concern for His name among the nations.
Ezekiel 37–39 then unfolds that promise through visions of resurrection, reunification, and God’s final triumph over hostile powers.
Scripture NKJV
Ezekiel 37
The Dry Bones Live
1 The hand of the Lord came upon me and brought me out in the Spirit of the Lord, and set me down in the midst of the valley; and it was full of bones. 2 Then He caused me to pass by them all around, and behold, there were very many in the open valley; and indeed they were very dry. 3 And He said to me, “Son of man, can these bones live?”
So I answered, “O Lord God, You know.”
4 Again He said to me, “Prophesy to these bones, and say to them, ‘O dry bones, hear the word of the Lord! 5 Thus says the Lord God to these bones: “Surely I will cause breath to enter into you, and you shall live. 6 I will put sinews on you and bring flesh upon you, cover you with skin and put breath in you; and you shall live. Then you shall know that I am the Lord.” ’ ”
7 So I prophesied as I was commanded; and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and suddenly a rattling; and the bones came together, bone to bone. 8 Indeed, as I looked, the sinews and the flesh came upon them, and the skin covered them over; but there was no breath in them.
9 Also He said to me, “Prophesy to the breath, prophesy, son of man, and say to the breath, ‘Thus says the Lord God: “Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe on these slain, that they may live.” ’ ” 10 So I prophesied as He commanded me, and breath came into them, and they lived, and stood upon their feet, an exceedingly great army.
11 Then He said to me, “Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel. They indeed say, ‘Our bones are dry, our hope is lost, and we ourselves are cut off!’ 12 Therefore prophesy and say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord God: “Behold, O My people, I will open your graves and cause you to come up from your graves, and bring you into the land of Israel. 13 Then you shall know that I am the Lord, when I have opened your graves, O My people, and brought you up from your graves. 14 I will put My Spirit in you, and you shall live, and I will place you in your own land. Then you shall know that I, the Lord, have spoken it and performed it,” says the Lord.’ ”
One Kingdom, One King
15 Again the word of the Lord came to me, saying, 16 “As for you, son of man, take a stick for yourself and write on it: ‘For Judah and for the children of Israel, his companions.’ Then take another stick and write on it, ‘For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim, and for all the house of Israel, his companions.’ 17 Then join them one to another for yourself into one stick, and they will become one in your hand.
18 “And when the children of your people speak to you, saying, ‘Will you not show us what you mean by these?’— 19 say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord God: “Surely I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel, his companions; and I will join them with it, with the stick of Judah, and make them one stick, and they will be one in My hand.” ’ 20 And the sticks on which you write will be in your hand before their eyes.
21 “Then say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord God: “Surely I will take the children of Israel from among the nations, wherever they have gone, and will gather them from every side and bring them into their own land; 22 and I will make them one nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel; and one king shall be king over them all; they shall no longer be two nations, nor shall they ever be divided into two kingdoms again. 23 They shall not defile themselves anymore with their idols, nor with their detestable things, nor with any of their transgressions; but I will deliver them from all their dwelling places in which they have sinned, and will cleanse them. Then they shall be My people, and I will be their God.
24 “David My servant shall be king over them, and they shall all have one shepherd; they shall also walk in My judgments and observe My statutes, and do them. 25 Then they shall dwell in the land that I have given to Jacob My servant, where your fathers dwelt; and they shall dwell there, they, their children, and their children’s children, forever; and My servant David shall be their prince forever. 26 Moreover I will make a covenant of peace with them, and it shall be an everlasting covenant with them; I will establish them and multiply them, and I will set My sanctuary in their midst forevermore. 27 My tabernacle also shall be with them; indeed I will be their God, and they shall be My people. 28 The nations also will know that I, the Lord, sanctify Israel, when My sanctuary is in their midst forevermore.” ’ ”
Ezekiel 38
Gog and Allies Attack Israel
1 Now the word of the Lord came to me, saying, 2 “Son of man, set your face against Gog, of the land of Magog, the prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal, and prophesy against him, 3 and say, ‘Thus says the Lord God: Behold, I am against you, O Gog, the prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal. 4 I will turn you around, put hooks into your jaws, and lead you out, with all your army, horses, and horsemen, all splendidly clothed, a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords. 5 Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya are with them, all of them with shield and helmet; 6 Gomer and all its troops; the house of Togarmah from the far north and all its troops—many people are with you.
7 “Prepare yourself and be ready, you and all your companies that are gathered about you; and be a guard for them. 8 After many days you will be visited. In the latter years you will come into the land of those brought back from the sword and gathered from many people on the mountains of Israel, which had long been desolate; they were brought out of the nations, and now all of them dwell safely. 9 You will ascend, coming like a storm, covering the land like a cloud, you and all your troops and many peoples with you.”
10 ‘Thus says the Lord God: “On that day it shall come to pass that thoughts will arise in your mind, and you will make an evil plan: 11 You will say, ‘I will go up against a land of unwalled villages; I will go to a peaceful people, who dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates’— 12 to take plunder and to take booty, to stretch out your hand against the waste places that are again inhabited, and against a people gathered from the nations, who have acquired livestock and goods, who dwell in the midst of the land. 13 Sheba, Dedan, the merchants of Tarshish, and all their young lions will say to you, ‘Have you come to take plunder? Have you gathered your army to take booty, to carry away silver and gold, to take away livestock and goods, to take great plunder?’ ” ’
14 “Therefore, son of man, prophesy and say to Gog, ‘Thus says the Lord God: “On that day when My people Israel dwell safely, will you not know it? 15 Then you will come from your place out of the far north, you and many peoples with you, all of them riding on horses, a great company and a mighty army. 16 You will come up against My people Israel like a cloud, to cover the land. It will be in the latter days that I will bring you against My land, so that the nations may know Me, when I am hallowed in you, O Gog, before their eyes.” 17 Thus says the Lord God: “Are you he of whom I have spoken in former days by My servants the prophets of Israel, who prophesied for years in those days that I would bring you against them?
Judgment on Gog
18 “And it will come to pass at the same time, when Gog comes against the land of Israel,” says the Lord God, “that My fury will show in My face. 19 For in My jealousy and in the fire of My wrath I have spoken: ‘Surely in that day there shall be a great earthquake in the land of Israel, 20 so that the fish of the sea, the birds of the heavens, the beasts of the field, all creeping things that creep on the earth, and all men who are on the face of the earth shall shake at My presence. The mountains shall be thrown down, the steep places shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground.’ 21 I will call for a sword against Gog throughout all My mountains,” says the Lord God. “Every man’s sword will be against his brother. 22 And I will bring him to judgment with pestilence and bloodshed; I will rain down on him, on his troops, and on the many peoples who are with him, flooding rain, great hailstones, fire, and brimstone. 23 Thus I will magnify Myself and sanctify Myself, and I will be known in the eyes of many nations. Then they shall know that I am the Lord.” ’
Ezekiel 39
Gog’s Armies Destroyed
1 “And you, son of man, prophesy against Gog, and say, ‘Thus says the Lord God: “Behold, I am against you, O Gog, the prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal; 2 and I will turn you around and lead you on, bringing you up from the far north, and bring you against the mountains of Israel. 3 Then I will knock the bow out of your left hand, and cause the arrows to fall out of your right hand. 4 You shall fall upon the mountains of Israel, you and all your troops and the peoples who are with you; I will give you to birds of prey of every sort and to the beasts of the field to be devoured. 5 You shall fall on the open field; for I have spoken,” says the Lord God. 6 “And I will send fire on Magog and on those who live in security in the coastlands. Then they shall know that I am the Lord. 7 So I will make My holy name known in the midst of My people Israel, and I will not let them profane My holy name anymore. Then the nations shall know that I am the Lord, the Holy One in Israel. 8 Surely it is coming, and it shall be done,” says the Lord God. “This is the day of which I have spoken.
9 “Then those who dwell in the cities of Israel will go out and set on fire and burn the weapons, both the shields and bucklers, the bows and arrows, the javelins and spears; and they will make fires with them for seven years. 10 They will not take wood from the field nor cut down any from the forests, because they will make fires with the weapons; and they will plunder those who plundered them, and pillage those who pillaged them,” says the Lord God.
The Burial of Gog
11 “It will come to pass in that day that I will give Gog a burial place there in Israel, the valley of those who pass by east of the sea; and it will obstruct travelers, because there they will bury Gog and all his multitude. Therefore they will call it the Valley of Hamon Gog. 12 For seven months the house of Israel will be burying them, in order to cleanse the land. 13 Indeed all the people of the land will be burying, and they will gain renown for it on the day that I am glorified,” says the Lord God. 14 “They will set apart men regularly employed, with the help of a search party, to pass through the land and bury those bodies remaining on the ground, in order to cleanse it. At the end of seven months they will make a search. 15 The search party will pass through the land; and when anyone sees a man’s bone, he shall set up a marker by it, till the buriers have buried it in the Valley of Hamon Gog. 16 The name of the city will also be Hamonah. Thus they shall cleanse the land.” ’
A Triumphant Festival
17 “And as for you, son of man, thus says the Lord God, ‘Speak to every sort of bird and to every beast of the field:
“Assemble yourselves and come; Gather together from all sides to My sacrificial meal
Which I am sacrificing for you, A great sacrificial meal on the mountains of Israel,
That you may eat flesh and drink blood.
18 You shall eat the flesh of the mighty, Drink the blood of the princes of the earth,
Of rams and lambs, Of goats and bulls, All of them fatlings of Bashan.
19 You shall eat fat till you are full, And drink blood till you are drunk, At My sacrificial meal
Which I am sacrificing for you.
20 You shall be filled at My table With horses and riders, With mighty men
And with all the men of war,” says the Lord God.
Israel Restored to the Land
21 “I will set My glory among the nations; all the nations shall see My judgment which I have executed, and My hand which I have laid on them. 22 So the house of Israel shall know that I am the Lord their God from that day forward. 23 The Gentiles shall know that the house of Israel went into captivity for their iniquity; because they were unfaithful to Me, therefore I hid My face from them. I gave them into the hand of their enemies, and they all fell by the sword. 24 According to their uncleanness and according to their transgressions I have dealt with them, and hidden My face from them.” ’
25 “Therefore thus says the Lord God: ‘Now I will bring back the captives of Jacob, and have mercy on the whole house of Israel; and I will be jealous for My holy name— 26 after they have borne their shame, and all their unfaithfulness in which they were unfaithful to Me, when they dwelt safely in their own land and no one made them afraid. 27 When I have brought them back from the peoples and gathered them out of their enemies’ lands, and I am hallowed in them in the sight of many nations, 28 then they shall know that I am the Lord their God, who sent them into captivity among the nations, but also brought them back to their land, and left none of them captive any longer. 29 And I will not hide My face from them anymore; for I shall have poured out My Spirit on the house of Israel,’ says the Lord God.”
What it all means
Ezekiel 37 Breakdown
Main sections
Verses 1–10: The vision of the dry bones
Verses 11–14: God explains the vision
Verses 15–23: The sign of the two sticks
Verses 24–28: The promise of one king, peace, and God’s presence
1) The Valley of Dry Bones — Verses 1–10
Ezekiel is brought by the Spirit into a valley full of dry bones.
The bones are described as very dry, showing complete hopelessness.
God asks, “Can these bones live?”
Ezekiel answers humbly, leaving the answer with God.
God tells Ezekiel to prophesy to the bones.
As he speaks, the bones come together, are covered with flesh and skin, but still have no life.
Then Ezekiel is told to prophesy to the breath.
The breath enters them, and they stand up as a great army.
What it means
Dry bones: a picture of total loss, defeat, and hopelessness
God’s word: begins the work of restoration
God’s breath/Spirit: gives true life
The whole vision: shows that God can restore what seems completely beyond recovery
2) God Explains the Vision — Verses 11–14
God says the bones represent the whole house of Israel.
The people are saying their bones are dried up and their hope is gone.
They feel cut off, as if their national life is over.
God promises to open their graves and bring them back.
He will return them to their land.
He will put His Spirit within them so they will live.
What it means
This is mainly about Israel’s restoration after exile.
The image of resurrection expresses national and spiritual renewal.
God is answering despair with promise.
He is showing that exile is not the end of their story.
3) The Two Sticks — Verses 15–23
God tells Ezekiel to take two sticks.
One stick stands for Judah.
The other stands for Joseph/Ephraim, representing the northern kingdom.
Ezekiel joins them into one stick in his hand.
God says this means He will reunite His divided people.
They will become one nation again under one king.
They will no longer be defiled by idols.
What it means
God’s restoration includes unity, not just survival.
He heals old divisions between His people.
He gathers those who were scattered.
He restores both covenant identity and covenant faithfulness.
4) One King, Peace, and God’s Presence — Verses 24–28
God promises that His servant David will be king over them.
They will have one shepherd.
They will walk in God’s rules and obey Him.
God will make a covenant of peace with them.
They will live securely in the land.
God’s sanctuary will be among them forever.
The nations will know that God sanctifies Israel.
What it means
Restoration leads to right leadership.
It brings peace, holiness, and security.
The goal is not only return to the land, but life under God’s rule.
God’s presence among His people is the climax of the chapter.
Major themes
Life from death
Hope after despair
The power of God’s word
The life-giving work of God’s Spirit
Reunification of God’s people
A future shepherd-king
Peace and God’s presence
Simple summary
The first half of Ezekiel 37 shows that God can bring life to a people who feel dead.
The second half shows that God can reunite a people who have been divided.
The chapter as a whole is about restoration, renewal, and the certainty of God’s promises.
A key takeaway
When God speaks into what looks dead, life can return.
When God acts on behalf of His people, division, despair, and exile do not have the final word.
Ezekiel 38 Breakdown
Main sections
Verses 1–9: Gog is introduced and gathered for attack
Verses 10–13: Gog’s evil plan is described
Verses 14–16: God declares the purpose behind the invasion
Verses 17–23: God announces judgment on Gog
1) Gog and the Coming Attack — Verses 1–9
God tells Ezekiel to prophesy against Gog, of the land of Magog, described as a chief prince associated with Meshech
and Tubal.
God says He will turn Gog around, draw him out, and bring him with a vast army.
Many nations are listed as joining him.
The force is pictured as massive, organized, and threatening.
They come against a land that has been restored from war and whose people are living in apparent safety.
What it means
Gog represents a great hostile power raised up against God’s people.
The long list of nations shows the scale of the threat.
The restored people of God may appear vulnerable, but the chapter makes clear that God is still in control.
Even the enemy’s movement is not outside God’s sovereignty.
2) Gog’s Evil Intent — Verses 10–13
Gog devises an evil plan.
He decides to attack a peaceful, unsuspecting people living without walls, bars, or gates.
The goal is plunder and conquest.
Other nations are shown watching and questioning whether Gog has come to seize spoil.
What it means
The attack is driven by greed, pride, and violence.
Gog sees God’s restored people as easy prey.
Humanly speaking, the situation looks dangerous because the people seem exposed.
Spiritually, the passage shows the arrogance of powers that oppose God’s purposes.
3) God’s Purpose in Allowing the Attack — Verses 14–16
God says Gog will come up against His people in the latter days.
But God makes clear that this is not because He is helpless.
He brings Gog against His land so that the nations may know Him when He displays His holiness through judgment.
What it means
This is one of the chapter’s key points: God has a larger purpose.
The invasion becomes the stage on which God reveals His holiness and power.
The real issue is not just military conflict; it is the public vindication of God’s name.
What looks like a victory for evil will become the occasion for God’s self-revelation.
4) Judgment on Gog — Verses 17–23
God asks whether Gog is the one spoken of long ago by the prophets.
On the day Gog attacks, God’s wrath rises.
A great earthquake strikes the land.
Fish, birds, animals, and people tremble at God’s presence.
Mountains are thrown down and walls collapse.
Confusion breaks out among Gog’s forces.
God sends sword, pestilence, torrential rain, hailstones, fire, and sulfur against him and his armies.
What it means
God Himself defeats Gog.
The victory does not come through Israel’s strength, strategy, or weapons.
Creation itself seems to respond to God’s judgment.
The language is dramatic and overwhelming, showing that no power can stand against God when He rises to act.
The chapter ends with God being magnified, sanctified, and known among the nations.
Major themes
God’s sovereignty over the nations
The reality of evil opposition
God’s protection of His restored people
The holiness of God
God’s final victory over arrogant powers
The nations coming to know who God is
How to understand Gog
Gog is presented as a terrifying end-time enemy figure.
The chapter emphasizes what Gog represents more than giving enough detail to identify him with certainty as one modern nation or leader.
The main point is theological, not speculative:
hostile powers gather against God’s people,
God remains completely in control,
God defeats them decisively,
God makes His name known through judgment.
Simple summary
Ezekiel 38 describes a future attack by Gog against God’s restored people.
Gog comes with confidence and evil intent.
But God is not surprised or defeated.
He uses the attack to reveal His holiness, judge the enemy, and show the nations that He is Lord.
A key takeaway
Even when opposition seems massive and overwhelming, God is never outmatched.
The chapter calls for trust in God’s rule, especially when evil appears strong.
Ezekiel 39 Breakdown
Main sections
Verses 1–8: God defeats Gog on the mountains of Israel
Verses 9–10: The weapons of war are burned
Verses 11–16: Gog’s armies are buried
Verses 17–20: A great sacrificial feast of judgment
Verses 21–29: God explains the meaning of Israel’s exile and restoration
1) God Defeats Gog — Verses 1–8
God again speaks against Gog and brings him from the far north.
Gog advances with his armies against Israel.
But God strikes him down on the mountains of Israel.
His soldiers fall in the open field.
Their bodies are given to birds and beasts.
God also sends fire on Magog and on those living securely in distant coastlands.
God says His holy name will be made known among His people, and it will no longer be profaned.
What it means
The battle’s outcome is never really in doubt.
Gog may appear powerful, but God controls both the rise and the fall of the enemy.
The defeat is total and humiliating.
The main purpose is again the revelation of God’s holiness and lordship.
2) The Weapons Are Burned — Verses 9–10
The people of Israel go out and gather the enemy’s weapons.
They burn shields, bows, arrows, clubs, and spears.
There is so much equipment that it provides fuel for seven years.
They do not need to gather wood from the fields or forests, because the enemy’s weapons are enough.
Those who were going to plunder Israel are themselves plundered.
What it means
This shows the completeness of God’s victory.
The enemy comes to take spoil but becomes the spoil.
What was intended for destruction is turned into a resource for God’s people.
The image underlines reversal: God overturns the plans of the wicked.
3) Gog’s Armies Are Buried — Verses 11–16
God gives Gog a burial place in Israel.
The valley becomes known as the Valley of Hamon-gog.
The burial effort is massive and lasts seven months.
The purpose is to cleanse the land.
People are appointed to pass through the land and mark bones so buriers can remove them.
A city is also named Hamonah.
What it means
The scene highlights both the scale of the judgment and the need to purify the land.
Even after victory, uncleanness must be dealt with.
The enemy that came to dominate the land ends up buried in it.
God’s restored land is not left defiled; it is cleansed.
4) The Great Feast of Judgment — Verses 17–20
God calls the birds and wild animals to gather for a great sacrificial feast.
They are invited to eat the flesh of warriors, princes, horses, and soldiers.
The language is graphic and solemn.
The defeated armies are portrayed as a sacrifice laid out by God.
What it means
This is a picture of complete divine judgment.
The imagery is meant to be shocking.
It reverses normal ideas of victory and honor: the mighty do not receive glory, but disgrace.
God is shown as the one who judges proud human power.
5) God Explains Exile and Restoration — Verses 21–29
God says He will set His glory among the nations.
The nations will see His judgment and His power.
Israel will know from that day forward that He is the Lord.
God explains that Israel went into exile because of their sin and unfaithfulness.
Their suffering was not because God was weak, but because He judged them justly.
Now He promises to restore them, have mercy on them, and leave none of them behind among the nations.
He says He will no longer hide His face from them.
He will pour out His Spirit on the house of Israel.
What it means
This final section gives the theological meaning of the whole chapter.
Israel’s past exile is explained as the result of covenant unfaithfulness.
Their future restoration is explained as the result of God’s mercy and faithfulness.
The goal is renewed relationship: God’s people know Him, God’s glory is displayed, and His Spirit is poured out.
The chapter ends not merely with the defeat of enemies, but with the restoration of communion between God and His people.
Major themes
God’s total victory over hostile powers
The reversal of the enemy’s plans
The cleansing of the land
The public display of God’s glory
Judgment for sin and mercy in restoration
The outpouring of God’s Spirit
God’s holiness among His people and the nations
How Ezekiel 39 fits with Ezekiel 38
Ezekiel 38 focuses on the gathering and attack of Gog.
Ezekiel 39 focuses on Gog’s defeat and the aftermath.
Together they show:
the seriousness of the threat,
the certainty of God’s intervention,
the completeness of divine judgment,
and the final restoration of God’s people.
Simple summary
Ezekiel 39 shows God completely defeating Gog, cleansing the land after the battle, and explaining that both Israel’s exile and restoration serve to reveal His holiness.
The chapter ends with hope: God restores His people and pours out His Spirit on them.
A key takeaway
God not only defeats the enemy; He also cleanses, restores, and renews His people.
His final purpose is not destruction alone, but the revelation of His glory and the renewal of His relationship with His people.

Closing
Thank you for joining me in my chronological study of the Bible.
Today’s reading in Ezekiel 37–39 moves from restoration to conflict to victory. In Ezekiel 37, God shows Ezekiel a valley of dry bones and brings them back to life, a powerful picture that He can restore what seems completely dead and hopeless. He then joins two sticks into one, showing that He will reunite His divided people and establish them again under one shepherd. In Ezekiel 38, the focus shifts to Gog, a powerful enemy who rises against God’s restored people with evil intent, yet the chapter makes clear that even this threat is under God’s sovereign control. God allows the confrontation so that His holiness and power will be made known. Ezekiel 39 completes the picture with Gog’s defeat, the cleansing of the land, and the explanation that both Israel’s exile and restoration reveal God’s justice, mercy, and faithfulness. Together, these chapters remind us that God brings life out of death, unity out of division, and victory out of what looks overwhelming. They still speak today by assuring us that no situation is beyond God’s power to restore, no opposition is greater than His rule, and no promise of His fails. I love you.
