CHAPTER 391And thou, Son of man, prophesy against Gog, and say, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah, Behold, I am against thee, Gog, prince of Rosh, Meshech, and 2Tubal; And I lead thee back, and drive thee on, and make thee come up from 3the farthest north, and make thee come to the mountains of Israel. And I dash thy bow out of thy left hand, and will make thy arrows fall out of thy right hand. 4On the mountains of Israel shalt thou fall, thou and all thy squadrons, and the nations that are with... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Ezekiel 39:1-29

Having thus described the order of events in the far distant future, the prophet proceeded to utter in greater detail his prophecy of the antagonism of God to those who thus would gather themselves against His anointed people. He first made it perfectly clear that the destruction of Cog would be by the direct act of Jehovah, and that in order that His holy name should be profaned no more the nations would know that He was the Holy One in Israel. This destruction, moreover, would be complete.... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 39:17-20

The Scavengers Are Called to a Great Sacrificial Feast (Ezekiel 39:17-20 ). A huge emphasis in this chapter is on the purification of Israel and the awful fate of the wicked. Both are again involved here, with the emphasis on the latter. The scavengers clean up the land, but here they are also seen as attending a sacrificial feast in which they partake of the offering, and the offering is the wicked dead. read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 39:20

“And you will be filled at my table with horses and chariots, with mighty men and with all the men of war, says the Lord Yahweh.” That great and proud host that went forth to battle with shouts of triumph and certainty of spoils, has now become a feast for the wild beasts and scavenger birds. It stresses their inglorious end. And it is all at the word of the Lord Yahweh. When the world triumphs and magnifies itself before the people of God, they need to consider their end. Whatever the people... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 39:17-20

Ezekiel 39:17-Proverbs : . Ezekiel’ s imagination, never weary of contemplating the destruction of those alien hordes, now pictures them as a sacrifice, to devour which Yahweh invites the birds and beasts, who gorge themselves with their flesh and blood. read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Ezekiel 39:20

At my table; in the field where Gog, his princes, and army are slain, compared to a table. Horses put for horsemen, not common foot-soldiers. Chariots for the men that ride in them. Mighty men; see Ezekiel 39:18. read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Ezekiel 39:1-29

THE DESTRUCTION OF GOG AND HIS VAST ARMIES. (Chap. 39)EXEGETICAL NOTES.—Ezekiel 39:2. “I will leave but the sixth part of thee”—I will six thee; i.e., afflict thee with six plagues—pestilence, blood, overflowing rain, hailstones, fire, brimstone (chap. Ezekiel 38:22). Or, draw thee back with a hook of six teeth (chap. Ezekiel 38:4)—the six teeth being those six plagues.

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 39:1-29

Chapter 39Therefore, thou son of man, prophesy against Gog, and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the [Rosh prince or the Russian] prince of Meshech and Tubal: And I will turn thee back, and leave but a sixth part of thee, and will cause thee to come up from the north parts, and I will bring thee upon the mountains of Israel ( Ezekiel 39:1-2 ):They are to be destroyed and they will be left only a sixth part.

Joseph Sutcliffe

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Ezekiel 39:1-29

Ezekiel 39:1 . Behold, I am against thee, oh Gog. This second apostrophe to Gog denotes the superintending providence of God over the enemies of his church, and the certainty of their final overthrow. From Ezekiel 39:7-16, we have a view of the reformed state of the church. This is followed by the judgment on Gog; out of whose ruins the church arises with resplendent beams, and her “sun shall no more go down.” Ezekiel 39:2 . I will leave but the sixth part of thee; a small remnant to... read more
