Ezekiel 39:11 "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 Hamon-gog."
"The Harvest of the Earth"—according to Joel, and John's Angel that comes out of the Nave (Rev. 14:15)—hath been ripened: "for their wickedness is great." The Harvest is composed of vast multitudes of ripened wickedness in the plain, or valley, of judgment, unconsciously awaiting a terrible overthrow. Joel in vision saw them all assembled there, as expressed in the words: "Multitudes, multitudes (hamonim, hamonim) in the Valley of Judgment, for the Day of Yahweh is near in the Valley of Judgment"
These hamonim are the hamon-gog of Eze. 39:11—the Multitude of Gog, which is buried in the valley of the judgment executed, and gives name to an adjacent city called Hamonah, that is, Multitude. This and the preceding chapter of Ezekiel (38 & 39) are parallel with Joel 3, and with John's vision of the reaping.
