에스겔 38:7-8 KRV

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 38:8

After many days. Time is an element which needs to be taken into calculation in the consideration of all human affairs. We are too short-sighted, too hasty, too impatient. God has the leisure of eternity. "The mills of God grind slowly, But they grind exceeding small."

THE MISCHIEF OF EVIL IS SEEN ... 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

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.
