Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Ezekiel 38:7

"Be thou prepared, yea, prepare thyself, thou, and all thy companies that are assembled unto thee, and be thou a guard unto them. After many days thou shalt be visited: in the latter years, thou shalt come into the land that is brought back from the sword, that is gathered out of many peoples, upon the mountains of Israel, which have been a continual waste, and they shall dwell securely, all of them. And thou shalt ascend, and shall come like a storm, thou shalt be like a storm to cover the... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Ezekiel 38:7

Ezekiel 38:7. Be thou prepared— Come, make thy preparations, thou and all, &c. meaning the warlike preparations. But Cambyses made no warlike preparations against Judaea, nor entered that country before he had lost his army in Egypt. These preparations, therefore, cannot properly refer to him. See Houbigant. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Ezekiel 38:7-9

The Lord told Gog to be ready with his allies. He would summon Gog to attack the Promised Land when the Israelites were back in it having been re-gathered in the end times (cf. Jeremiah 32:14; Daniel 8:26). The Israelites would be living securely in their land at this time enjoying peaceful conditions (cf. Ezekiel 37:26). Gog and his allies would descend on the land like a storm cloud. read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 38:1-23

2. Gog, the land of Magog] RV ’Gog, of the land of Magog.’ The exact reference of the names is unknown. Magog is the land ruled over by Gog. The conjecture that ’Magog’ (Mgg = Ggm = Bbl) is a cryptogram for ’Babel’ (Babylon) has no probability. Gog in any case is the representative of remote heathendorn, and is located in the far N. (Ezekiel 38:6, Ezekiel 38:15; Ezekiel 39:2), while he has allies in the distant S. (Ezekiel 38:5).Chief prince of Meshech, etc.] RV ’Prince of Rosh, Meshech,’ etc.,... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 38:1-29

God’s Final Victory over the HeathenEzekiel’s earlier group of prophecies against the nations (Ezekiel 25-32) was concerned with Israel’s nearer neighbours, which had interfered more or less in former times with her prosperity; and their humiliation was regarded as a necessary condition of Israel’s peaceful and happy future. Ezekiel, however, contemplated a wider extension of God’s glory than these prophecies involved. This is described under the form of an invasion of the restored Israel by... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 38:1-23

JEHOVAH’S FINAL VICTORYEzekiel 38:1-23; Ezekiel 39:1-29THESE chapters give the impression of having been intended to stand at the close of the book of Ezekiel. Their present position is best explained on the supposition that the original collection of Ezekiel’s prophecies actually ended here, and that the remaining chapters (40-48) form an appendix, added at a later period without disturbing the plan on which the book had been arranged. In chronological order, at all events, the oracle on Gog... read more
