In the context of <a href="/ezekiel/39.htm">Ezekiel 39</a>, it refers to the prophesied defeat of Gog and the forces that come against Israel. The assurance of fulfillment is a common theme in biblical prophecy, underscoring God's sovereignty and faithfulness. This certainty is echoed in other scriptures, such as <a href="/isaiah/46-10.htm">Isaiah 46:10</a>, where God declares the end from the beginning, and in <a href="/matthew/24-35.htm">Matthew 24:35</a>, where Jesus affirms that His words will never pass away.<p><b>declares the Lord GOD.</b><br>The use of "declares the Lord GOD" signifies divine authority and the ultimate source of the prophecy. In the Hebrew text, the term "Adonai Yahweh" is used, highlighting both the lordship and covenantal relationship of God with His people. This declaration is a reminder of God's unchanging nature and His control over history, as seen throughout the Old Testament, including in the prophetic books like Isaiah and Jeremiah.<p><b>This is the day of which I have spoken.</b><br>The "day" mentioned here refers to a specific time of divine intervention and judgment. In the broader context of Ezekiel, this day is part of the eschatological vision concerning the end times and the restoration of Israel. It connects to the "Day of the Lord," a theme found in other prophetic books such as Joel and Zephaniah, which describes a time of both judgment and salvation. This day also foreshadows the ultimate victory of God over evil, a theme that culminates in the New Testament with the return of Christ, as seen in <a href="/revelation/19.htm">Revelation 19</a>.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/e/ezekiel.htm">Ezekiel</a></b><br>A prophet of God who ministered to the Israelites during their Babylonian exile.
