“And you, son of man, prophesy against Gog and say, Thus says the Lord GOD: Behold, I am against you, O Gog, chief prince of Meshech and Tubal.
God must say twice what He means: I am against you, Gog. Your army marches from the north as the Chaldeans did, the mountains of Israel become your slaughterhouse, and you fall disarmed and helpless, not one weapon in your hand shall profit you.

Commenting on Ezekiel 39:1-7
God repeats His word against Gog to fix it in the mind: "I am against you." Terrible beyond measure to have the Almighty arrayed in opposition. This is no uncertain threat, but a settled and dreadful reality.
AI summary
The prophecy turns from warning to judgment. God will lead Gog forth, disarm him utterly, bow struck from his left hand, arrows falling from his right, and cast him down upon the mountains of Israel to feed the beasts. Fire shall consume Magog itself, that the nations may know who He is.
