Ezekiel 38:16

and thou shalt come up against My people of Israel, in an attack intended to overthrow the power of the Church, as a cloud to cover the land, it shall be in the latter days, in the Messianic era and in that particular period preceding the Last Judgment, and I will bring thee against My land, the Lord expressly permitting this attack upon His children, that the heathen may know Me when I shall be sanctified in thee, O Gog, before their eyes, for the judgment of the Lord in the overthrow of the enemies of His Church will reveal His almighty power to all men, as He also said to Pharaoh. Cf Exodus 9:16.
