John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 38:15

And thou shalt come from thy place out of the north parts ,.... Whose original was from Scythia, or Cathaia in Tartary, that lies to the north of China; and who will bring with him many people from the Euxine and Caspian seas, and from the northern parts of lesser Asia; and the Turk is, by many interpreters, thought to be the king of the north, in Daniel 11:44 as before observed: thou, and many people with thee, all of them riding upon horses ; the Turkish armies consisting chiefly of... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 38:16

And thou shall come up against my people of Israel ,.... Which is repeated for the certainty of it; and not for his comfort, but his ruin; not to the terror of Israel, but for the glory of God: as a cloud to cover the land ; the land of Israel, so great should be his army; See Gill on Ezekiel 38:9 , it shall be in the latter days ; of the Gospel state, or kingdom of the Messiah, when the Jews shall be converted, and are returned to their own land, Hosea 3:5 , and I will bring... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 38:17

Thus saith the Lord God ,.... Putting the question that follows: art thou he of whom I have spoken of old time by my servants the prophets of Israel, which prophesied in those days many years that I will bring thee against them ? certainly thou art he: but who were the prophets that prophesied of Gog before Ezekiel, since he is the first that makes mention of him? to this it may be replied, that though he is not mentioned by name, yet he might be prophesied of under other names, as by... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 38:18

And it shall come to pass at the same time, when Gog shall come against the land of Israel, saith the Lord God ,.... As before prophesied of and described: that my fury shall come up in my face ; as a man's blood rises up in his face, and his colour appears, when he is wroth and angry: or, "in my nose" F19 באפי "in nasum meum", Piscator, Cocceius, Starckius. ; as men when they are angry puff and blow, expand their nose, breathe through it; but against whom is all this wrath and... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 38:19

For in my jealousy, and in the fire of my wrath, have I spoken ,.... Not against his people Israel, but against Gog, who had thought evil against them, and now was about to put it in practice; and therefore in zeal for his own glory, and for the good of his people, and in indignation against his and their enemies, he declares, resolves, and determines: surely in that day there shall be a great shaking in the land of Israel ; not a consternation among the people of Israel frightened at... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 38:20

So that the fishes of the sea shall shake at my presence ,.... From whence it appears that this great shaking shall not be on account of the army of Gog, and the devastations that it shall make; but on account of the powerful presence of God, which will be manifest in the destruction of his army: and what is here said of the shaking of the fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the heaven, and the beast of the field, and all creeping things that creep upon the earth, and all the men that are... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 38:21

And I will call for a sword against him ,.... That is, against Gog; or, as I would choose to render the words, "for I will call for a sword", so the particle is rendered, Ezekiel 38:19 and which Noldius F21 Concordant. Ebr. Partic. p. 285, 286. agrees to; and this gives a reason why there should be such a commotion in the land of Israel; because the Lord, who has the swords of princes at his command, will call for the Christian kings to come to the assistance of the Jews, and fight... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 38:22

And I will plead against him with pestilence and with blood ,.... Not only the sword of the Jews and the sword of Christian princes shall be drawn against him, and the sword of Gog's soldiers against one another; but the Lord himself would plead with him by his judgments, or take vengeance on him, as the Targum; and send a pestilence in his army, which should destroy vast numbers of it; as the army of Sennacherib was destroyed by one when before Jerusalem; and make a great slaughter among... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 38:23

Thus will l magnify myself, and sanctify myself ,.... Show the greatness of his power, and the strictness of his justice and holiness, and glorify these, and all other of his perfections, in the destruction of the enemies of his people: and I will be known in the eyes of many nations, and they shall know that I am the Lord ; Heathen nations shall now come to the knowledge of the true God, and his Son Jesus Christ, and of the Christian religion, and shall embrace and profess it; See Gill... read more
