Ezekiel 39:21

And I will set my glory among the heathen, and all the heathen shall see my judgment that I have executed, and my hand that I have laid upon them.
19

And ye shall eat fat till ye be full, and drink blood till ye be drunken, of my sacrifice which I have sacrificed for you.

20

Thus ye shall be filled at my table with horses and chariots, with mighty men, and with all men of war, saith the Lord God.

21

And I will set my glory among the heathen, and all the heathen shall see my judgment that I have executed, and my hand that I have laid upon them.

22

So the house of Israel shall know that I am the Lord their God from that day and forward.

23

And the heathen shall know that the house of Israel went into captivity for their iniquity: because they trespassed against me, therefore hid I my face from them, and gave them into the hand of their enemies: so fell they all by the sword.

Counter-Arguments

The strongest case that this verse does not belong in this theme.

Punishment Language

While the verse speaks of "judgment" and God's "hand," it primarily emphasizes God's glory being displayed and seen by the heathen, rather than explicitly detailing the act or nature of punishment itself.

Destruction at Coming

The verse speaks of "judgment" and "my hand that I have laid upon them," which could refer to a past or ongoing divine intervention rather than specifically a future destruction at a "coming" event. The term "heathen" does not inherently specify "wicked" in all contexts, and the verse does not explicitly mention Christ or his return.
