John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 39:1-29

2. Leave but the sixth part of thee] RV ’lead thee on.’6. Isles] RM ’coastlands.’ God will not only destroy the army of Gog in Palestine, but will extend His judgments into the lands from which Gog and his allies have come. 8. It is come.. it is done] RV ’it cometh.. it shall be done.’9. Set on fire] RV ’make fires of.’ Burn them with fire] RV ’make fires of them’: so in Ezekiel 39:10. 11.

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Ezekiel 39:1-29

Ezekiel 39:23 A thoroughly immoral man could not know anything at all! To know a thing, what we can call knowing, a man must first love the thing, sympathize with it; that is, be virtuously related to it. If he have not the justice to put down his own selfishness at every turn, the courage to stand by the dangerous line at every turn, how shall he know? His virtues, all of them, will lie recorded in his knowledge. Nature, with her truth, remains to the bad, to the. selfish, and the... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 39:1-29

JEHOVAH’S FINAL VICTORYEzekiel 38:1-23; Ezekiel 39:1-29THESE chapters give the impression of having been intended to stand at the close of the book of Ezekiel. Their present position is best explained on the supposition that the original collection of Ezekiel’s prophecies actually ended here, and that the remaining chapters (40-48) form an appendix, added at a later period without disturbing the plan on which the book had been arranged. In chronological order, at all events, the oracle on Gog... read more

Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - Ezekiel 39:1-29

Ezekiel 38:1-23 ; Ezekiel 39:1-29 . There will be at that time of restoration a great and final invasion of the land of Israel. Gog and Magog will invade the land “that is brought back from the sword, and is gathered out of many people.” The invaders come “against the mountains of Israel which have always been waste; but it is brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell safely, all of them.” In Ezekiel 38:11 , the evil purpose of the invader is made known. From all this we learn that... read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 39:1-29

PROPHECY AGAINST GOG It is fitting that following the prediction of Israel’s restoration and blessing, there should come another showing judgment upon her enemies. Only it is doubtful if these enemies are those spoken of hitherto. Those were contiguous to Israel, but this is a north-eastern power which gathers its allies on the mountains of the Holy Land. There is reason to identify it with Russia. She and the northern powers allied with her have been the latest persecutors of dispersed... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Ezekiel 39:17-29

What is particularly meant by this sacrifice, and the feast that is promised to be made for the fowl and the beast, is not so very clear as to speak with any certainty! But by comparing scripture with scripture, perhaps a light is thrown on the subject. See therefore Revelation 19:17 , etc. Doubtless it hath reference to the last day's dispensation! But the conclusion which God the Holy Ghost makes of the subject is most plain, and most blessed. The Lord will bring again the captivity of his... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Ezekiel 39:29

REFLECTIONS How truly great, and how truly solemn at the same time is this scripture. Is it not like the pillar of cloud in the camp of Israel; which, while giving light and joy to the people of God, became darkness and terror to the Egyptians. Lord Jesus, I beseech thee give thy people grace in beholding the ruin of the foe, in the midst of their own safety to learn where to ascribe the glory, and thankfully to recognize the gracious hand that maketh all the difference! If, Lord, thou sendest... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 39:23-29

23-29 When the Lord shall have mercy on the whole house of Israel, by converting them to Christianity, and when they shall have borne the shame of being cast off for their sins, then the nations shall learn to know, worship, and serve him. Then Israel also shall know the Lord, as revealed in and by Christ. Past events do not answer to these predictions. The pouring out of the Spirit is a pledge that God's favour will continue. He will hide his face no more from those on whom he has poured out... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Ezekiel 39:21-29

The Effect of God's Judgment v. 21. And I will set My glory among the heathen, by carrying out this judgment upon Gog, representative of all the hostile forces of the earth, and all the heathen shall see My judgment that I have executed, and My band that I have laid upon them, they are bound to see the heavy hand of God's punishment, unable to deny His sovereign interference. v. 22. So the house of Israel, as a second result of the Lord's judgment upon the enemies of His spiritual Israel, ... read more
