에스겔 38:3-9 KRV

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 38:4

Divine control. The picture of Israel's foes is indeed one fitted to strike dismay into any heart depending upon human aid, defense, or deliverance. Gog and his armies, the hostile nations in league with him, are described with all the pomp and circumstance of war. Yet, when Jehovah declares, "I will turn thee about, and will put hooks into thy jaws," this declaration outweighs all the professions, all the threats, all the designs of the enemy. We are reminded—and the whole Church in every... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 38:4

Sent back by God. "I will turn thee back." "There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death" ( Proverbs 14:12 ). There are paths that attract us, that we enter upon with keen expectancy, that we pursue with pleasure, but that, in time, we find to be wrong; then is it best to turn back, and to "return on our way" at once . I. MISTAKEN PATHS . Such as those of: 1. Extravagance . A larger expenditure of our means than we can... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 38:5-7

These allied nations are depicted as coming from the four quarters of the globe. Persia (see Ezekiel 27:10 ), from the east; Ethiopia (see Ezekiel 30:5 ), or Gush ( Genesis 10:6 ), from the south; Libya , or Phut (see Ezekiel 27:10 ; Ezekiel 30:5 ), from the west; and Gomer (see Genesis 10:2 , Genesis 10:3 ; 1 Chronicles 1:5 ), the Cimmerians of Homer ('Odyss.,' Ezekiel 11:13-19 ), whose abodes were the shores of the Euxine and Caspian Seas, and the Gimirrai of... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 38:8

After many days thou halt be visited . The principal controversy raised by these words is as to whether they signify, as Hitzig, Fairbairn, and Kliefoth suppose, that after many days Gog should be entrusted with the command of the aforementioned nations, or, as Ewald, Hengstenberg, Keil, Schroder, Plumptre, and Currey translate, that Gog, who intended to visit Israel, should himself be visited, in the sense of being punished. In support of the former rendering appeal is taken to Nehemiah... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 38:8

After many days. Time is an element which needs to be taken into calculation in the consideration of all human affairs. We are too short-sighted, too hasty, too impatient. God has the leisure of eternity. "The mills of God grind slowly, But they grind exceeding small." We must learn to use the telescopes of faith and hope, and look far beyond the scene of the present, if we would form a right estimate of any important human event. I. THE MISCHIEF OF EVIL IS SEEN ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 38:9

Like a storm, and like a cloud . Gog's invasion, his "ascension," or "going up" (compare the Greek term ἀνάβασις for a military expedition), should be like a storm in its suddenness and violence, as in Proverbs 1:27 , and like a cloud in its threatening aspect and overshadowing nearness (see Proverbs 1:16 ; and comp. Jeremiah 4:13 ). Taken together, the images suggest that Gog's invasion should burst forth suddenly, rage violently, spread quickly, alarm greatly, but cease finally.... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Ezekiel 38:8

As Gog was drawn on to his attack upon Israel in order to his ultimate ruin, therefore his preparations were the first step in his visitation from the Almighty.After many days - For “many days.” Many a long day shall the hand of God be upon thee, drawing thee on to thy ruin, and in the latter days shalt thou come.The land - literally, a “land” once laid waste by the sword, but now delivered from it, whose inhabitants once scattered have been gathered together from out of many peoples.Always -... read more
