The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 39:8

God's purpose accomplished. The prophet does not dream dreams of idle fancy, build castles in the air, or terrify men with nightmares of unreal judgments. The Word of God comes true. The predicted day arrives, the promised action is performed—"It is come, and it is done." I. IN CREATION . God spake, and it was done. He said, "Let there be light; and light was." The creative word was with power. Men plan great things, but they are quite incompetent to carry the best of them out. The... read more

Ezekiel 39:3-7. I will smite thy bow out of thy left hand There shall be no might in thy hand, as Moses threatens the Israelites, Deuteronomy 28:32; thou shalt not be able to use thy weapons to any purpose. I will give thee unto the ravenous birds, &c. See Ezekiel 39:17; and Ezekiel 33:27. And I will send a fire on Magog That is, into the country of Gog. This fire seems to signify that the land, after the army of Gog had left it, should be laid waste by the neighbouring people. Fire... read more

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.

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

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

Thomas Constable

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Ezekiel 39:7-8

Yahweh would also proclaim His holy reputation among the Israelites and the other nations. They would no longer regard Him as just another local deity but would recognize Him as the Holy One of Israel, the only true God who was Israel’s God. This day of judgment of which the Lord had formerly spoken would surely come and what He had predicted would indeed happen (cf. Ezekiel 38:17). read more
