Ezekiel 39:8-10. Behold, it is come, it is done, saith the Lord The time appointed for this great destruction is come, and it is the last and finishing stroke of God’s justice upon the enemies of his church and truth. The prophet here speaks in the rapture of prophecy of this event, determined and fixed in the counsels of God, as already completed: see the margin. They that dwell in the city shall set on fire and burn the weapons In token of an entire conquest, and that such a lasting... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 39:1-29

Destruction of the armies of Gog (39:1-29)Ezekiel repeats that God was the one who drew out the forces of Gog, his purpose being to destroy them (39:1-3). Their dead soldiers lie unburied in the fields, and their cities are in ashes (4-6). The terrible massacre helps people to see how frightening is the power of God when he acts in holy anger against evil (7-8).So great were the armies of Gog in size, that their weapons provide firewood for the people of Israel for the next seven years (9-10).... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Ezekiel 39:9

"And they that dwell in the cities of Israel shall go forth, and shall make fires of the weapons and burn them, both the shields and the bucklers, the bows and the arrows, and the handstaves and the spears, and they shall make fires of them seven years; so that they shall take no wood out of the field, neither cut down any of the forest; for they shall make fires of the weapons; and they shall plunder those that plundered them, and rob those that robbed them, saith the Lord Jehovah. And it... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Ezekiel 39:9

Ezekiel 39:9. And they shall burn them, &c.— That is, for a long time; a certain for an uncertain number. There shall be in the country so great a quantity of military weapons, that they shall serve them for a long time for fuel. We should remember, that they do not make very large fires in those hot countries. Mariana, in his Spanish History, book 2: chap. 24 relates, that after the victory which the Spaniards gained over the Saracens in 1212, they found so many spears, and other warlike... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Ezekiel 39:9

9, 10. The burning of the foe's weapons implies that nothing belonging to them should be left to pollute the land. The seven years (seven being the sacred number) spent on this work, implies the completeness of the cleansing, and the people's zeal for purity. How different from the ancient Israelites, who left not merely the arms, but the heathen themselves, to remain among them [FAIRBAIRN], (Judges 1:27; Judges 1:28; Judges 2:2; Judges 2:3; Psalms 106:34-36). The desolation by Antiochus began... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Ezekiel 39:1-16

Events following the defeat of the enemy 39:1-16"Chapter 39 retells the story of Gog’s attack and defeat but with a slightly different emphasis from that of the prior chapter. Not much attention is given to the attack itself (merely Ezekiel 39:1-2), whereas a great deal of space is devoted to describing the massive slaughter of Gog’s forces. In a sense, then, Chapter 38 concentrates on the threat from the powers opposed to God and His people, while Chapter 39 concentrates more on the... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Ezekiel 39:9-10

After the Lord destroyed the forces of Gog, the Israelites would use the enemy’s numerous implements of warfare for fuel for seven years. The Israelites would not need to burn traditional fuel because there would be so many old weapons and implements left to burn. They would also take as spoil what the invaders had brought into the land when they came to despoil the Israelites. God would turn the tables on the invaders.As in much apocalyptic prophecy (cf. the Book of Revelation), the Lord... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Ezekiel 39:9

(9) Shall burn them with fire seven years.—The representation of this and the following verse, that the weapons of the army of Gog shall furnish the whole nation of Israel with fuel for seven years, cannot, of course, be understood literally, and seems to have been inserted by the prophet to show that we are to look for the meaning of his prophecy beyond any literal event of earthly warfare.Ezekiel 39:11-16 again present the magnitude of the attack upon the Church by describing the burial of... read more
