You will eat fat until you are satisfied and drink blood until you are drunk from the sacrifice that Ezekiel is making for you—an image emphasizing the abundance of the judgment's bounty. The satiation of the animals suggests unlimited abundance; there is more than enough for all who gather. The intoxication from blood suggests profound spiritual transformation and the transcendent nature of the feast. The characterization as Ezekiel's sacrifice places the prophet in the role of priest, an unusual positioning that emphasizes the prophetic role in mediating the judgment. This verse emphasizes that the defeat of Gog provides total, overwhelming abundance to all who participate in the feast.
