Destruction of Gog
Thou shalt fall upon the mountains of Israel, thou, and all thy bands, and the people that [is] with thee: I will give thee unto the ravenous birds of every sort, and [to] the beasts of the field to be devoured. Eze. 39:4
This speaks of them dying in such vast numbers, that there is no way, until this is over, to bury them. Their bodies will be eaten of the vultures of the air. Even the beasts passing by will eat their carcasses. There will be no one left to stop them.
Having brought them against the mountains of Israel (Eze. 39:2; cf. Eze. 38:8), God will weaken them (Eze. 39:3) and strike them down on the mountains of Israel. This once-mighty army will then be food for birds and… wild animals.
Gog and his mighty armies will be destroyed at this time, a fact which proves the whole two chapters (38-39) refers to the leading up to Armageddon and the 2nd advent of Christ.
