Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Ezekiel 39:1-29

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

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 39:9-10

“And those who dwell in the cities of Israel will go forth, and will make fires of the weapons and burn them, both the shields and the bucklers, the bows and the arrows, the handstaves and the spears. And they will make fires of them for seven years, so that they will take no wood from the field, nor cut down any from the forests. For they will make fires of the weapons, and they will spoil those who spoiled them, and rob those who robbed them, says the Lord Yahweh.” Note that Israel were all... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 39:9-16

The Clearing Up Operation and the Cleansing Of The Land (Ezekiel 39:9-16 ). Concentration on the detail here can obscure the significance of the whole. The main points being brought out are the massiveness of what has to be dealt with, and the importance of making the land totally ‘clean’. Attention is drawn to the vast amounts of armour, the huge number of bodies picked clean by the scavengers (Ezekiel 39:17-20), and the awful judgment that has come upon the nations because they trifled with... read more

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 39:9

Shall go forth, out of their houses and out of the cities, with joy to see and admire the great goodness of God towards them, and the greatness of his power against their enemies. Shall set on fire: this expression seems to intimate that they should burn these things in the open field or mountains, where they found them; here is no mention made of the carrying any into city or houses, to burn in their chimneys: it may be they should make those fires in token of joy. The weapons; the warlike... read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Ezekiel 39:10

So, Heb. And, they shall not, &c. They shall take: this, as noted before, taken potentially, or speaking what they might, not what they eventually should do; such store of fuel from the weapons and utensils of war left by these Gogites, that the Jews will not need to go to the forests to cut down wood. Or else comparatively, as some will; what they shall need to fetch from the forests shall be nothing in comparison to what they were wont to fetch. They shall burn; they may if they will: it... 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
