Ezekiel 39:17-24

A sacrificial feast for the birds and beasts
“As for you, son of man thus says the Lord God: Speak to the birds of every sort and to all beasts of the field: ‘Assemble and come, gather from all around to the sacrificial feast that I am preparing for you, a great sacrificial feast on the mountains of Israel, and you shall eat flesh and drink blood. You shall eat the flesh of the mighty, and drink the blood of the princes of the earth—of rams, of lambs, and of he-goats, of bulls, all of them fat beasts of Bashan. And you shall eat fat till you are filled, and drink blood till you are drunk, at the sacrificial feast that I am preparing for you. And you shall be filled at my table with horses and charioteers, with mighty men and all kinds of warriors,’ declares the Lord God.
“And I will set my glory among the nations, and all the nations shall see my judgment that I have executed, and my hand that I have laid on them. The house of Israel shall know that I am the Lord their God, from that day forward. And the nations shall know that the house of Israel went into captivity for their iniquity, because they dealt so treacherously with me that I hid my face from them and gave them into the hand of their adversaries, and they all fell by the sword. I dealt with them according to their uncleanness and their transgressions and hid my face from them.
God is telling Ezekiel to call the birds and beasts of the fields to come have a feast. When the nations come against Israel, God will all Michael the Archangel, and the prince of Israel to fight and kill the nations that come against Israel.
What is going to require us as a people to believe what is written and act on it? We have seen the report of the six-day war where many nations thought they would destroy Israel and it was clear that God fought for Israel, and once more He is going to do so.
