“It will come to pass in that day that I will give Gog a burial place there in Israel, the valley of those who pass by east of the sea; and it will obstruct travelers, because there they will bury Gog and all his multitude...“They will set apart men regularly employed, with the help of a search party, to pass through the land and bury those bodies remaining on the ground, in order to cleanse it." vv.11,14
Read chapter 39
Housekeepers in heaven! Men being regularly employed to clean. Ok so not just cleaning any household mess up but cleaning up dead bodies in the land. I'm a Housekeeping Supervisor and would love to tell my interns that what they clean up is possible training for Heaven employment;)
What's happening here is that after this great war of the armies of Gog in the future when they're about to attack Israel, God wipes them out. He'll knock their bow and arrows out of their hands and cause them to fall on the mountain of Israel given for the birds to eat them (vv.3-4). There will be such a heap of dead bodies that those traveling to the land of Israel will have to detour around it. Yet this won't be a sad horror thing but a comfort of God's protection, the God of Armies. A sign that God is no longer silent and all enemies are forever done away with.
How is this changing your view of what goes on in the future eons? How would you like being employed as this type of housekeeper?
