The Allied Invasion of Israel of Ezekiel 38 & 39 Part 6 of 7

The burial place will be in one of the valleys east of the Mediterranean Sea (v.11), which would put it in the Jordan Valley north of the Dead Sea and will be renamed accordingly. It may take seven months before they accomplish the job. It may also be that they wait seven months before they start to gather the dead. The Hebrew suggests they wait seven months. We are not sure of this. In any event there is a 7-month period associated with the burying process. (vv.12-13). Because of the contamination of the bodies they may wait seven months before they start. (vv. 14_15) Overlooking the cemetery a new city will be built and named Hamonah, which means “multitude.) (v.16).
When entering the area and they do not go in casually. The KJV reads “they sever out men of continual employment” which is phrase for “professionals.” These will not be amateurs, these will not be part timers, and they will know what they are doing.
These will be professionals called in to bury the bones, downwind of the Dead Sea. If someone traveling through spots a bone that was missed, he is not to touch it, but to put up a sign by it so the professionals can bury it downwind.
This is interesting technology for Ezekiel. God stages an event where the Russians invade Israel and get clobbered by the Jews with a technology that shakes the whole earth, and fire will fall upon Magog and a lot of other people as well. Then they are going to spend seven months before they even go into that battle area. After all this the Jews will send in professionals to bury the dead carefully by special procedures.
