“Thus says Yahweh God!
‘Are you he
Of whom I spoke
In former days?
My servants,
The prophets of Israel,
In those days,
Prophesied for years
That I would bring you
Against them.’”
Yahweh, via Ezekiel, asked the question whether the attack of Gog would fulfill a prophesy of the old prophets of Israel. These former prophets often spoke of an attack on Israel. There already had been the Assyrian attack on Samaria and the Babylonian attack on Jerusalem. Was this attack different? In both the other cases, the Israelites lost.
