God is the Sovereign Lord

Ezekiel 38:1-23
When Gog attack the land of Israel, my hot anger will be aroused. I will summon a sword against God on all my mountains, declares the Sovereign Lord.
Magog, Meshech, Tubal and Gomer were all sons of Japheth(Noah's son). They gave their names to Indo-European peoples living in the Black Sea/Caucasus region, on the northern fringe of the then-known world.
Ezekiel pictures an invasion of these barbaric hordes from the north, led by the unidentified Gog, who may personify the cosmic forces of evil.
Allied with armies from far and near (Persia, Sudan and North Africa, he will wage war on the Lord's people.
And God will demonstrate his power in the sight of all by taking on all the forces of evil single handed, and destroying them once and for all.
'God' is responsible for the plan, but the Lord's hand is always in control.
Why?
The Lord is control all his plan to judge his people for their sin and used other nations as his sword, but for their evil, they will downfall under God's plan.
How?
Trust in the Lord, for his love endure forever. When we have faith in Him, then we may have peace in this world.
