This is what will happen in that day: When Gog attacks the land of Israel, my hot anger will be aroused, declares the Sovereign Lord. In my zeal and fiery wrath I declare that at that time there shall be a great earthquake in the land of Israel. The fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, the beasts of the field, every creature that moves along the ground, and all the people on the face of the earth will tremble at my presence. The mountains will be overturned, the cliffs will crumble and every wall will fall to the ground. I will summon a sword against Gog on all my mountains, declares the Sovereign Lord. Every man's sword will be against his brother. I will execute judgment on him with plague and bloodshed; I will pour down torrents of rain, hailstones and burning sulfur on him and on his troops and on the many nations with him. And so I will show my greatness and my holiness, and I will make myself known in the sight of many nations. Then they will know that I am the Lord.' (Ezekiel 38:18-23 NIV)
- There will be great earthquake in Israel;
- The invaders will kill each other;
- The invaders will face pestilence and bloodshed;
- Torrential rain, hailstones, fire, and burning sulphur will fall on the invaders.
I will send fire on Magog and on those who dwell securely in the coastlands, and they shall know that I am the LORD. (Ezekiel 39:6 ESV)
God will also send fire to judge the citizens of Magog and all the nations involved in the invasion who thought the the fighting will only be in Israel and their own countries will be safe. The mindset is something like today's war between Ukraine and Russia. Everybody send arms to Ukraine, thinking that the fighting will be confined in Ukraine and they will be safe.
At the end of the war, the whole world will know that the God of Israel is the real God because Israel will not be saved by their traditional allies, United States and European Union, but by timely natural (or supernatural) disasters.
