Midrash su Ezechiele 38:3

R. Shila lashed a certain man for having committed adultery. The man went over to the Government [of the Roman Empire], and informed them that there was a man among Israel who executed judgment without the permission of the king. The king sent a representative who, when he arrived, asked R. Shila: "Why did you lash that man?" "Because," answered R. Shila, "he committed adultery." "Have you any witness who saw it?" the representative asked. "Yes," he replied. Thereupon Elijah came in the image of a man and testified. "If so," said the representative, "he should be killed." "Well," replied R. Shila, "since the day we were exiled from our land, we have had no authority to exercise capital punishment; you may do as you please with him." While they were deciding what to do with that man, R. Shila began to praise God, saying Thine, O Lord, are the greatness and the might and glory, and the victory and the majesty, yea, all that is in the heavens and on the earth; Thine, O Lord are the kingdom, and thou art exalted as the head above all (I Chr. 29, 11). "What art thou saying?" he was asked. "Thus I said," he answered," "Praised be the all merciful who giveth the kingdom on earth just as the kingdom in the heaven, and who bestowed the rulership upon you who love justice." "Since you esteem the honor of the kingdom so highly let this man, therefore be the Judge who shall preside over all judicial affairs." He thereupon gave R. Shila a cane [as a token of a judge] saying: "Execute judgment." When he was through he said: "Since that passage was the cause of such a miracle I would explain it." Thereupon he went to the academy and expounded: Thine, O Lord, are the greatness, refers to the act of creation, as it is written (Job 9, 10,) Who doth great things which are quite unsearchable; And the might, refers to the redemption of Egypt, and so says the passage (Ex. 14, 31) And Israel saw that great power which the Lord hath shown; And the glory, refers to the incident of the sun and the moon which Joshua stopped in their course; as is said (Josh. 10, 13.) And the sun stood still and the moon stopped; And the victory, refers to the downfall of Babylon, and so says the passage (Is. 63, 3.) And their blood was sprinkled on my garments; And the majesty, this refers to the battle of Arnon, as it is said (Num. 21, 14.) Therefore mention is made in the books of wars of the Lord of Voheb in Suph, etc.; Yea, all that is in the heaven and on the earth, this refers to the war of Sisra and so says the passage (Judge 5, 20.) From heaven they fought; and Thine, O Lord, is the kingdom, refers to the war of Amalek, as is said (Ex. 17. 16.) And he said. Because the Lord hath sworn on his throne; And thou art exalted, this refers to the war of Gog and Magog, and so says the passage (Ezck. 38, 3.) Behold, I will be against thee, O God, the prince of Besh, Meshech and Thubal; As the head above all, R. Chana b. Abba said: "This means that even a superintendent over the well [which is made to water the fields] is also appointed in Heaven." In a Baraitha we are taught in the name of R. Akiba: Thine, O Lord, are the greatness, refers to the miracle of dividing the Red Sea; The might, refers to the plague of the first-born (in Egypt); The glory, refers to the giving of the Torah; And the victory, refers to Jerusalem; The majesty, refers to the rebuilding of the Temple may it he His will that it be built within our days.
