Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Ezekiel 38:20
Ezekiel 38:20. So that the fishes, &c.— There is nothing hyperbolical in this; for the prophet describes a terrible earthquake, whereby the mountains are shaken, and great fragments of rocks precipitated from their tops, to the great terror and astonishment of every part of the creation. See Houbigant. Instead of shake, we may read tremble. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Ezekiel 38:18-19
God would become very angry with Gog when he attacked Israel (cf. Genesis 12:3). He would send a great earthquake in the land that would express His anger (cf. Revelation 16:18)."Yahweh’s emotional reaction to Gog’s invasion is obvious as he explodes, heaping up expressions for anger unparalleled in the book, if not in the entire OT." [Note: Block, The Book . . . 48, p. 457.] read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Ezekiel 38:20-21
Every living thing on earth would feel this earthquake, the sign of God’s presence. Mountains would fall down, as well as cliffs with their steep pathways, as would the walls that people had erected. Gog’s allied forces would even turn on each other and fight one another (cf. Judges 7:22; 1 Samuel 14:20; Haggai 2:22; Zechariah 14:13; Revelation 19:19-20). Apparently the sword that God would call for to defeat Gog would be that of his own allies rather than that of Israel (cf. Revelation 20:9). 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

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 38:1-23
Invasion by the armies of Gog (38:1-23)To the Jews of Ezekiel’s day, the nations referred to here would represent the most distant regions of the world - ‘the four corners of the earth’. They are led by a man called Gog, who lives to the north in the land of Magog and who is ruler of the joint kingdom of Meshech-Tubal (38:1-3). He will lead an attack on Israel and will be helped by other countries from the east (Persia), from the south (Cush and Put, meaning probably Ethiopia and Libya), and... read more
