'God' is responsible for the plan, but the Lord's hand is always in control

Ezekiel 38:1-23
A prophecy against Gog.
This is what the Sovereign Lord says: I am against you, O God, chief prince of Meshech and Tubal.
I will turn you around, put hooks in your jaws and bring you out with your whole army - your horses, your horsemen fully armed, and a great horde with large and small shields, all of them brandishing their swords.
Therefore, son of man,prophesy and say to God: This is what the Sovereign Lord says: In that day, when my people Israel are living in safety, will you not take notice of it? You will come from your place in the far north, you and many nations with you, all of them riding in  horses, a great horde, a mighty army. You will advance against my people Israel like a cloud the covers the land. I will bring you against my land, so that the nations may know me when I show myself holy through you before their eyes.
Mogog, Meshech, Tubal and Gomer were all sons of Japheth. They gave their names to Indo-European peoples living in the Black Sea region. On the northern fringe of the then-known world. Ezekiel pictures an invasion of these barbaric hordes from the north, led by the cosmic forces of evil. Allied with armies form far and near 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?
Gog is a evil force come from far north, in the day when they invaded into Israel, God will let them know that God is holy and let them know God is the Lord.
All army of God and his nations will fall down and return back, for God is against them.
Even we can not fight against strong army like Gog, but I have Sovereign Lord, God will protect me, God has mighty hand and power, God is my shield, my hope and my strength. I will never shame.
How?
Pray to the Lord, Please help me O Lord, save me from attack of enemy and threaten from others.  Praise your Holy Name, O Lord!
