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

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 39:11-22

11-22 How numerous the enemies which God destroyed for the defence of his people Israel! Times of great deliverances should be times of reformation. Every one should help the utmost he can, toward cleansing the land from reproach. Sin is an enemy every man should strive against. Those engaged in public work, especially of cleansing and reforming a land, ought to be men who will go through with what they undertake, who will be always employed. When good work is to be done, every one should... 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

Johann Peter Lange

Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Ezekiel 39:1-29

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 39:21-29

The Vindication of Yahweh (Ezekiel 39:21-29 ). Ezekiel sees the future in terms of the vindication of Yahweh. He will be glorified in the eyes of the nations when they see His judgments. Israel will also know that He is Yahweh. For having punished them He will again gather them and His Spirit will be poured out on them. And their deliverance will bring home to the nations that He is all-powerful and supreme. This would begin when Cyrus, His shepherd who did not know Him (Isaiah 44:28 to... read more

Arthur Peake

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 39:21-29

Ezekiel 39:21-Joel : .– The Purpose of the Judgment.— The effect of this decisive judgment is to bring glory to Yahweh’ s name: for the world must now see that it is not His impotence but His horror of sin that accounts for the calamities and exile of His people. But now their redemption is complete: they will forget (rather than “ bear” in Ezekiel 39:26) the shame of bygone days, and they will live secure and blessed in their own land for ever, because Yahweh has put His spirit within them.... read more
