Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 39:1-10

1-10 The Lord will make the most careless and hardened transgressors know his holy name, either by his righteous anger, or by the riches of his mercy and grace. The weapons formed against Zion shall not prosper. Though this prophecy is to be fulfilled in the latter days, it is certain. From the language used, it seems that the army of Gog will be destroyed by miracle. read more

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's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 39:1-3

God’s Judgment on Gog. “And you, son of man, prophesy against Gog, and say, Behold I am against you, O Gog, chief prince of Meshech and Tubal. And I will turn you about and lead you on (shshw), and will cause you to come from the uttermost parts of the north, and I will bring you on the mountains of Israel. And I will smite your bow out of your left hand, and will cause your arrows to fall out of your right hand.” For the name and description see on Ezekiel 38:2.

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 39:1-10

Ezekiel 39:1-2 Samuel : . Gog’ s Destruction and Burial.— This chapter does little more than repeat, with variations, the message of the last. The slain hordes lie thick upon Israel’ s mountains and fields, to be devoured by beasts and birds. Yahweh, whose power is not limited to His own land, will send His destructive fire upon the enemy’ s land and his islands in the Black (or Mediterranean?) Sea. This is the great day ( Ezekiel 39:8) of which the prophets have spoken, and its doings will... read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Ezekiel 39:3

I will smite thy bow; make thy hand weak, not able to hold the bow, and thy heart faint, not daring to take it up again. What is said of the bow rendered useless, is to be understood of all other weapons of war. This one kind, the bow, being most in use with these Scythians, is mentioned for all the rest. Thy left hand; the hand for holding the bow, while the right fits the arrow to the string, and draws to shoot. Thine arrows to fall; thou shalt throw away thine arrows, that thou mayst the... 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. The rendering in the text supposes that the verb is derived from the Hebrew numeral six; but this rendering is not recognised... read more

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. Five- sixths of them will be wiped out.I will smite the... read more

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
