The mountains will be thrown down, the steep cliffs will fall, and every wall will collapse to the ground—God's earthquake will demolish all human military infrastructure and fortifications, neutralizing Gog's military advantage. The destruction of mountains and cliffs represents the most extreme possible devastation; the geological features that define landscapes are overthrown. The collapse of walls directly undermines Gog's military advantage; the fortifications that he relied upon are destroyed. This verse emphasizes that the divine response to the invasion operates at a level that transcends military confrontation; God does not respond with a counter-army but with cosmic power. The demolition of walls also recalls the walls of Jericho that fell at God's command; Gog's invasion will be defeated as decisively as the conquest of Canaan. This verse establishes that the invasion, despite its apparent military strength, will be defeated by forces beyond military reckoning.
