Ezekiel 39:20

Thus ye shall be filled at My table with horses and chariots, with mighty men, and with all men of war, saith the Lord God. No matter what means the enemies use in trying to overcome the Church of God, no matter what form their hostility takes, they are powerless before His almighty arm. The vividness of the presentation and the detailed manner of description serve to emphasize the complete overthrow of all those who presume to attack the City of God.
