George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 38:19

Israel. The Jews shall be full of dismay, (ver. 20.) as the tyrant will vent some threats; (Calmet) or this commotion was in his own army. (Haydock) read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 38:14-23

14-23 The enemy should make a formidable descent upon the land of Israel. When Israel dwell safely under the Divine protection, shalt not thou be made to know it by finding that endeavours to destroy them are made in vain? Promises of security are treasured up in the word of God, against the troubles and dangers the church may be brought into in the latter days. In the destruction of sinners, God makes it appear that he is a great and holy God. We should desire and pray daily. Father, glorify... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Ezekiel 38:10-23

The Sentence of Destruction upon Gog v. 10. Thus saith the Lord God, It shall also come to pass that at the same time shall things come into thy mind, wicked counsels aganist the people of God, and thou shalt think an evil thought, proposing a plan to attack the children of the Lord in their apparently defenseless state, v. 11. and thou shalt say, I will go up to the land of unwalled villages, for the people of God seem to the enemies to be occupying dwelling-places that are not fortified; ... read more

Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Ezekiel 38:1-23

4. Against Gog and Magog for the Glorification of Jehovah in the World (Ch. 38 and 39)Chap. 38 1. And the word of Jehovah came to me, saying, 2Son of man, set thy face towards [against] Gog, of the land of Magog, the prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal, and prophesy concerning him. 3And say, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah, Behold, I am against thee, Gog, prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal. 4And I lead thee back, and give rings in thy jaws, and bring thee forth, and thy whole army, horses and... read more

G. Campbell Morgan

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Ezekiel 38:1-23

The final message concerning the nation dealt with matters far removed from the times of the prophet. In the dim distance he saw Gog of the land of Magog, prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal, gathering against Israel. He saw them, however, gathering under divine compulsion to this very manifestation of antagonism, the message of Jehovah plainly declaring, "I will turn thee about and put hooks into thy jaws, and bring thee forth." This last antagonism would consist of a confederacy of Magog and... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 38:18-22

God’s Final Judgments. “And it will come about in that day when Gog comes against the land of Israel,” says the Lord Yahweh, “that my fury will come up into my nostrils, for I have spoken, in my jealousy and in my wrath. Surely in that day there will be a great shaking in the land of Israel, so that the fish of the sea, and the birds of the heaven, and the beasts of the field, and all creeping things that creep on the earth, and all the men who are on the face of the earth, will shake at my... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 38:1-23

Ezekiel 38. Gog’ s Invasion ( Ezekiel 38:1-1 Samuel : ), Design ( Ezekiel 38:10-Nehemiah : ), and Destruction ( Ezekiel 38:17-Isaiah : ).— Gog, of the land of Magog, seems from the names of the peoples that follow (cf. Ezekiel 27:13) to represent the mysterious hordes of the north, and were probably suggested to Ezekiel by the Scythian invasion (cf. Ezekiel 39:3) of Western Asia about 630 B.C. He, with a confederacy of peoples from the extreme south ( Ezekiel 27:10; Ezekiel 27:14: Gomer =... read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Ezekiel 38:19

In my jealousy for my own people, that I may preserve them, and for mine own glory, to vindicate that, as Ezekiel 39:25; Zechariah 1:14. In the fire of my wrath against mine enemies, Gog and all his herds. Surely: it is in the Hebrew after the form of an oath, as Ezekiel 36:5. A great shaking; to be sure a very great disturbance and tumult, like an earthquake, as the word signifies, for such an army, such threats, such assaults, and sieges will shake cities, towns, and the hearts of the... read more

Joseph Exell

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Ezekiel 38:1-23

THE WARLIKE ASSAULT OF GOG, AND ITS REPULSE. (Chap. 38)EXEGETICAL NOTES.—Ezekiel 38:2. “Gog.” “An ideal name; it is simply the root of Magog, the only related name known to history. The whole prophecy demands a non-literal interpretation. The prophetical delineations of the Divine principles of government are thrown into the familiar forms of Old Testament relations. The final triumph of Messiah’s truth over the most distant and barbarous nations is represented as a literal conflict on a... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 38:1-23

Chapter 38Now in chapter 38:The word of the LORD came unto me, saying, Son of man, set your face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief ( Ezekiel 38:1-2 )And the word translated chief is the word Rosh. And most Bible scholars say that the Rosh translated chief should be translated in modern English, Russia, for Rosh is a reference to the modern Russia, the word chief there. So,the land of Magog, the prince of Rosh, Meshech and Tubal ( Ezekiel 38:2 ),Meshech is the ancient name for Moscow,... read more
