At my table you will be satisfied with horses and riders, with mighty men and soldiers of every kind, declares the Lord God—completing the sacrificial feast image by shifting to the first-person voice of God and emphasizing the sufficiency of the feast. The table suggests covenant fellowship and the inclusion of scavenging animals in God's sacrificial meal, an unusual extension of covenant participation. The satisfaction from horses, riders, and soldiers emphasizes that the entire military apparatus of Gog becomes the sacrificial feast. The formula 'declares the Lord God' underscores divine authority and omnipotence in providing the feast. This verse completes the image of the sacrificial feast and establishes it as God's provision for the animal kingdom.
