6 There will also be Gomer with all its troops and the nation of Togarmah from the far north with all its troops—many nations with you.
7 “ ‘Be prepared. Be prepared, you and all the armies that have come together to make you their commander.
8 After a long time you will be called for service. After those years you will come into a land that has been rebuilt from war. The people in the land will have been gathered from many nations to the mountains of Israel, which were empty for a long time. These people were brought out from the nations, and they will all be living in safety.
9 You will come like a storm. You, all your troops, and the many nations with you will be like a cloud covering the land.
10 “ ‘This is what the Lord God says: At that time ideas will come into your mind, and you will think up an evil plan.
11 You will say, “I will march against a land of towns without walls. I will attack those who are at rest and live in safety. All of them live without city walls or gate bars or gates.
12 I will capture treasures and take loot. I will turn my power against the rebuilt ruins that now have people living in them. I will attack these people who have been gathered from the nations, who have become rich with farm animals and property, who live at the center of the world.”
