Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Ezekiel 39:1-29

Ezekiel 39:23 A thoroughly immoral man could not know anything at all! To know a thing, what we can call knowing, a man must first love the thing, sympathize with it; that is, be virtuously related to it. If he have not the justice to put down his own selfishness at every turn, the courage to stand by the dangerous line at every turn, how shall he know? His virtues, all of them, will lie recorded in his knowledge. Nature, with her truth, remains to the bad, to the. selfish, and the... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 39:1-29

JEHOVAH’S FINAL VICTORYEzekiel 38:1-23; Ezekiel 39:1-29THESE chapters give the impression of having been intended to stand at the close of the book of Ezekiel. Their present position is best explained on the supposition that the original collection of Ezekiel’s prophecies actually ended here, and that the remaining chapters (40-48) form an appendix, added at a later period without disturbing the plan on which the book had been arranged. In chronological order, at all events, the oracle on Gog... read more

Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - Ezekiel 39:1-29

Ezekiel 38:1-23 ; Ezekiel 39:1-29 . There will be at that time of restoration a great and final invasion of the land of Israel. Gog and Magog will invade the land “that is brought back from the sword, and is gathered out of many people.” The invaders come “against the mountains of Israel which have always been waste; but it is brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell safely, all of them.” In Ezekiel 38:11 , the evil purpose of the invader is made known. From all this we learn that... read more

Geneva Study Bible - Ezekiel 39:9

39:9 And they that dwell in the cities of Israel shall {e} go forth, and shall set on fire and burn the weapons, both the shields and the bucklers, the bows and the arrows, and the javelins, and the spears, and they shall burn them with fire seven years:(e) After this destruction the Church will have great peace and tranquillity and burn all their weapons because they will no more fear the enemies. This chiefly refers to the accomplishment of Christ’s kingdom when by their head Christ all... read more

James Gray

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 39:8-16

Here are prophecies of a very solemn nature, intimating great destruction, and a multitude of graves for the slain to lie down in. Jesus speaks of the last day dispensation, which is to usher in his peaceable kingdom, as being remarkable for such events. Reader! here again, as before, I presume not to speak of the time when these things shall be. But I would ask, if the present day is not in this sense, a day of rebuke and blasphemy? Oh! what multitudes of the slain have we heard of, though... read more

Matthew Henry

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

The Destruction of Gog and his Hosts v. 1. Therefore, thou son of man, prophesy against Gog, in a further statement concerning the Lord's vengeance upon him, and say, Thus saith the Lord God, Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, rather, "the prince of Rosh, Mesheeh, and.
