Call for a sword against him

With reference to Ezekiel 39:2-4—But the Rainbowed Angel’s pedal pillars of fire may not halt long at Bozrah. Isaiah in vision saw him "coming from Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah;" and describes him as "glorious in his apparel, and travelling in the greatness of his strength" (lxiii. 1). John’s rainbowed angel is symbolical of this traveller, who proclaims himself "mighty to save;" and powerful to tread down the peoples in his anger, and to make them drunk in his fury, and to bring down their strength to the earth (verse 6). The mutual slaughter of the enemy, the sword called for against him throughout all the mountains of Israel, and the pestilence, make his overthrow coextensive with the land. It reduces the invading hosts to only one sixth of their original force; as it is written, "I will turn thee back, and leave but the sixth part of thee" (Ezek. xxxix. 2,4). This wreck of the invading force falls back upon Assyria, to which the war is transferred from the Holy Land. A great and marvellous change comes over this country politically, socially, and physically. The peace so long and earnestly prayed for (Psa. cxxii, cxxv, cxxviii), and promised (Psa. lxxii. 3,7; lxxxv. 8,10; Isa. ix. 6,7; xxvi. 12; xxxii. 17; liv. 13; lxvi. 12; Ezek. xxxiv. 25), is at length established; so that "from this day forward" (Ezek. xxxix. 22) there will be no more war in the land of Israel for a thousand years; and the house of Israel will come to know that the ETERNAL SPIRIT is Yahweh their Elohim, manifested in the Lord Jesus Christ and his Brethren, symbolized by the Rainbowed Angel of the Rainbowed Throne.
