James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 38:1-23

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 38:1-7

The curious in searching for the discovery of what is concealed, more than for the improvement of what the Lord hath made known, have been much puzzled and perplexed to explain what is meant by Gog and Magog. Some have contended, that this is the same Gog and Magog mentioned in the Revelations. Chapter 20:8. Others insist upon it, that they were princes in the neighborhood of Israel. But while curious unenlightened men have presumed to be wise above what is written, it will be a safer path, in... read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 38:1-13

1-13 These events will be in the latter days. It is supposed these enemies will come together to invade the land of Judea, and God will defeat them. God not only sees who are now the enemies of his church, but he foresees who will be so, and lets them know by his word that he is against them; though they join together, the wicked shall not be unpunished. read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Ezekiel 38:1-9

Gog Prepares for WarfaRe v. 1. And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, v. 2. Son of man, set thy face against Gag, the land of Magog, names which originally designated the hosts of heathen tribes toward the north, in Scythia and the neighboring countries, but applying, in general, to all enemies of the Church of God, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, literally, "the ruler of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal," countries in Asia Minor, south of the Black Sea, with fierce and warlike... 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'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

“And I will turn you about, and put hooks in your jaws, and I will bring you forth, and all you army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed in full armour, a great company with buckler and shield, all of them handling swords. Persia, Cush and Put with them, all of them with shield and helmet, Gomer and all his hordes, the house of Togarmah in the uttermost parts of the north, and all his hordes, even many peoples with you.” This vivid description reveals that Yahweh is at all times totally... 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's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Ezekiel 38:6

Gomer; inhabitants of Galatia, called formerly Gallograeci, Phrygians, and Bithynians, also these descended of Gomer. Togarmah; Paphlagonia and Cappadocia: see Ezekiel 27:14. Of the north quarters: it might be read in apposition, and leave out of, so it will bring in many more to assist Gog; beside all those mentioned, the more northern people, the numerous Tartars, shall with all their bands fight for Gag. Many people; great, and mighty of stature, and strength, and courage, as well as many in... read more
