The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 38:1-13

The invasion of those who dwell secure. The occurrence in this place of this and the following chapters is somewhat perplexing. The events here prophetically described take place after the restoration of the Israelites from their Eastern captivity. Yet they are altogether too stupendous to be applicable to anything which happened in the time or soon after the time of Ezekiel. Thus many interpreters of prophecy refer them to a period still in the future, when a final struggle may take place... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 38:1-13

The stability of God's kingdom. The lengthened subjection of the Hebrews had sapped their courage and their hope. The promises of a return to Canaan fell upon hearts full of apathy and self-diffidence. A latent fear was growing up that, even should they regain their old possession, they would soon be exposed to fresh invasion from some grasping monarch. They felt their lack of organization, their lack of military prowess, and men devoid of energy felt that it was better to remain in exile... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 38:3

I am against thee, O Gog . Just because Gog was against Israel, Jehovah was against Gog. Gog's invasion of Israel's land would be a declaration of war against Israel's God. so that the conflict would rather be between Jehovah and Gog than between Israel and Gog. Hence throughout this prophecy Jehovah is represented as the principal actor on the side of Israel, who seeks her defense not in walls and bulwarks or in earthly alliances and military combinations, ,s in the days of the monarchy... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 38:4

I will turn thee back . שׁוֹבַבְתִּיךָ (pilel of שׁוּב , and signifying "to cause to return") has by Hitzig, Havernick, Ewald, and Keil, been interpreted in the sense of "enticing," "misleading," decoying to a dangerous enterprise, as in Isaiah 47:10 ; but the ordinary meaning seems sufficient, that Jehovah would turn him back from his own self-devised career, or turn him about like a wild beast, putting hooks into his jaws (comp. Ezekiel 29:4 ; 2 Kings 19:28 ; Isaiah 37:29 ),... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 38:4

Divine control. The picture of Israel's foes is indeed one fitted to strike dismay into any heart depending upon human aid, defense, or deliverance. Gog and his armies, the hostile nations in league with him, are described with all the pomp and circumstance of war. Yet, when Jehovah declares, "I will turn thee about, and will put hooks into thy jaws," this declaration outweighs all the professions, all the threats, all the designs of the enemy. We are reminded—and the whole Church in every... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 38:4

Sent back by God. "I will turn thee back." "There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death" ( Proverbs 14:12 ). There are paths that attract us, that we enter upon with keen expectancy, that we pursue with pleasure, but that, in time, we find to be wrong; then is it best to turn back, and to "return on our way" at once . I. MISTAKEN PATHS . Such as those of: 1. Extravagance . A larger expenditure of our means than we can... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 38:5-7

These allied nations are depicted as coming from the four quarters of the globe. Persia (see Ezekiel 27:10 ), from the east; Ethiopia (see Ezekiel 30:5 ), or Gush ( Genesis 10:6 ), from the south; Libya , or Phut (see Ezekiel 27:10 ; Ezekiel 30:5 ), from the west; and Gomer (see Genesis 10:2 , Genesis 10:3 ; 1 Chronicles 1:5 ), the Cimmerians of Homer ('Odyss.,' Ezekiel 11:13-19 ), whose abodes were the shores of the Euxine and Caspian Seas, and the Gimirrai of... read more
