At the sacrifice I am preparing, you will eat fat until you are gorged and drink blood until you are drunk.
God speaks of this victory as already done, though the fulfillment lies ahead, because it is as certain as if accomplished. The routed army leaves behind such mountains of weapons that Israel will burn them for fuel seven years instead of cutting wood from the forests, turning the instruments of war into the ordinary means of warming their homes.

Commenting on Ezekiel 39:8-22
And ye shall eat fat till ye be full,.... The fat of men; and such as before described generally are fat, and of which they shall have enough; and, though voracious creatures, shall eat to satiety: and drink blood till ye be drunken; as men are with wine, who become mad with it; and so birds and beasts of prey grow fiercer by drinking blood...
And ye shall eat fat - and drink blood - Who shall eat and drink, etc.? Not the Jews: though Voltaire says they ate human flesh, and are invited here by the prophet to eat the flesh and drink the blood of their enemies; which is a most unprincipled falsehood.
