And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will give unto Gog a place there of graves in Israel, the valley of the passengers on the east of the sea: and it shall stop the noses of the passengers: and there shall they bury Gog and all his multitude: and they shall call it The valley of Hamongog.
When that day comes, I'm going to give Gog a burial ground in Israel, in the valley where travelers pass through, east of the sea. The smell will be so awful that travelers will have to cover their noses. That's where they'll bury Gog and his entire army, and they'll rename the place 'Valley of Gog's Crowd.'
Even the mightiest enemies end up six feet under when they mess with God's people.
