A Triumphant Festival

17 “And as for you, son of man, thus says the Lord God, a‘Speak to every sort of bird and to every beast of the field:
b“Assemble yourselves and come;
Gather together from all sides to My csacrificial meal
Which I am sacrificing for you,
A great sacrificial meal don the mountains of Israel,
That you may eat flesh and drink blood. 
18 aYou shall eat the flesh of the mighty,
Drink the blood of the princes of the earth,
Of rams and lambs,
Of goats and bulls,
All of them bfatlings of Bashan. 
19 You shall eat fat till you are full,
And drink blood till you are drunk,
At My sacrificial meal
Which I am sacrificing for you.
20 aYou shall be filled at My table
With horses and riders,
bWith mighty men
And with all the men of war,” says the Lord God.  

Israel Restored to the Land

21 a“I will set My glory among the nations; all the nations shall see My judgment which I have executed, and bMy hand which I have laid on them.  
22 aSo the house of Israel shall know that I am the Lord their God from that day forward.  
23 aThe Gentiles shall know that the house of Israel went into captivity for their iniquity; because they were unfaithful to Me, therefore bI hid My face from them. I cgave them into the hand of their enemies, and they all fell by the sword.  
24 aAccording to their uncleanness and according to their transgressions I have dealt with them, and hidden My face from them.” ’

Ezekiel 39:19

And ye shall eat fat - and drink blood - Who shall eat and drink, etc.? Not the Jews: though Voltaire says they ate human flesh, and are invited here by the prophet to eat the flesh and drink the blood of their enemies; which is a most unprincipled falsehood. It is the fowls and the beasts that God invites, Ezekiel 39:17 : "Speak to every feathered fowl, and to every beast of the field, assemble yourselves - that ye may eat flesh and drink blood;" nor are the persons altered in all these Ezekiel 39:17-20 : so the assertion of Voltaire is either through brutish ignorance or Satanic malice.
