Only those who survive. Most will be dead. Bad shake for the “earthly people”.
Where does the quoted phrase “earthly people” come from? Sorry don’t recognize it....
Actually, since we are discussing the passages about the battle of Gog and Magog....if you read Ezekiel 38 and 39, God’s Word tells us about the ingathering of the people Israel from all over the world.....and about the group of nations from the north sweeping down through Israel as a cloud....but I haven’t found anything in those prophetic chapters which talk about the people of Israel being destroyed, wiped out, slaughtered......However, there is much about the armies that invade dying on the mountains of Israel....and them and all their war implements being buried in the land.....and that God reveals His Holiness to the nations through what happens in this great conflict as well as establishing for His people in Israel, His faithfulness in delivering them from this great military force....so that His name is no longer profaned and so that all his people he ingathered will be there for this display of His mighty saving and delivering power....and not one who should be there to witness it is left out!
(read all of ch 37, and 38, and 39 of Ezekiel...and here are the closing verses of Ezekiel 39):
“21 “I will display my glory among the nations, and all the nations will see the punishment I inflict and the hand I lay upon them. 22 From that day forward the house of Israel will know that I am the LORD their God. 23 And the nations will know that the people of Israel went into exile for their sin, because they were unfaithful to me. So I hid my face from them and handed them over to their enemies, and they all fell by the sword. 24 I dealt with them according to their uncleanness and their offenses, and I hid my face from them.
25 “Therefore this is what the Sovereign LORD says: I will now bring Jacob back from captivity [f] and will have compassion on all the people of Israel, and I will be zealous for my holy name. 26 They will forget their shame and all the unfaithfulness they showed toward me when they lived in safety in their land with no one to make them afraid. 27 When I have brought them back from the nations and have gathered them from the countries of their enemies, I will show myself holy through them in the sight of many nations. 28 Then they will know that I am the LORD their God, for though I sent them into exile among the nations, I will gather them to their own land, not leaving any behind. 29 I will no longer hide my face from them, for I will pour out my Spirit on the house of Israel, declares the Sovereign LORD.”
