19At the sacrifice I am preparing, you will eat fat until you are gorged and drink blood until you are drunk.
20And at My table you will eat your fill of horses and riders, of mighty men and warriors of every kind,’ declares the Lord GOD.
21I will display My glory among the nations, and all the nations will see the judgment that I execute and the hand that I lay upon them. 22From that day forward the house of Israel will know that I am the LORD their God.Cross References

Ezekiel 39:20 Summary
[Ezekiel 39:20 means that God will provide for His people in a time of great victory and judgment, and they will be satisfied with the abundance of what He provides, just like a feast (as seen in Isaiah 25:6). This verse is saying that God is the one who gives and takes away, and He will give His people a great victory over their enemies, just like He did for the Israelites in the book of Exodus (Exodus 15:1-10). The idea of eating at God's table is a picture of God's people being nourished and satisfied by His presence and provision, similar to the promise in Psalm 23:5, where God prepares a table before us in the presence of our enemies.]
