Ezekiel38:22
22 And I will plead against him with pestilence, and with floud, and I will rain upon him, and upon his bands, and upon the many people that are with him, an overflowing rain, and great hailstones, fire and brimstone.
As Judge, and Avenger, and in most dreadful manner, whether you take the words figuratively or literally, as I slew others, Senacheribs Army by Pestilence, probably this was the Angels Sword, others as Ammon, Moab, Mount Seir with blood by their own swords. The Ammorites with hail-stones, Sodom, and Gomorrah with fire, and brimstone, the Old World with an overthrowing flood. Each single was dreadful, but all meet in the destruction of Gog to make it most terrible, whether these things are Aenigmatical ▪ or literal, I will not determine, but I am sure, they tell us how great the final ruine of the Enemies of God, and his Church shall be.
