에스겔 38:7-23 KRV

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 38:11-12

give voice to the things that should come into Gog's mind and incite him to his enterprise against Israel. The spectacle of Israel dwelling safely, i.e. securely and confidently, in a land of un-walled villages —literally, a land of open places , as opposed to fortified cities— i.e. of towns without walls , and having neither bars nor gates (comp Zechariah 2:4 , Zechariah 2:5 ; Deuteronomy 3:5 ; 1 Samuel 6:18 ), because of being no more apprehensive of invasion, should... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 38:13

Sheba, and Dorian, and the merchants of Tarshish were the great trading communities of the South, East, and West respectively (see on Ezekiel 27:15 , Ezekiel 27:20 , Ezekiel 27:22 , Ezekiel 27:25 ). The young lions thereof — i.e. of Tarshish, not of the other communities (Keil)—were probably intended to represent, not the" authorities" of Tarshish, as Hitzig suggests, but its smaller tradesmen who were equally rapacious with its larger merchants. All are depicted as following in... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 38:14

Shalt thou not know it ? viz. that Israel is dwelling safely and unsuspectingly? Assuredly; because the barbarian chieftain will then be on the watch, as it were, to spy out Israel's defenseless condition, and to fix upon the most opportune moment for an assault. The LXX . read, "Shalt thou not arise?" οὐκ … ἐγερθήση ; and following it, both Hitzig and Ewald, without other justification, change תֵּדָע into תֵּעֹר , "Wilt thou bestir thyself?" read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 38:14

The day of security. I. THERE IS A DAY OF SECURITY . Then God's people dwell safely. We talk of the warfare of the Christian life. There is a lifelong war. But this is not a perpetual battle. There are lulls in the storm, and quiet seasons in the Christian contest. At such times there is a temptation to unreasonable ease and confidence, just as in times of trouble people are ready to despair and imagine that "all these things are against" them. Still, the day of security has... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 38:14-22

The invader discomfited. Although it would be presumptuous to apply the language of this prophetic passage to any particular political event in the history of Israel, there were many occasions upon which invasion was permitted and the soil of Palestine was trodden by hostile armies; many occasions upon which the invader retreated, overwhelmed with disaster and ignominy. It is therefore allowable to interpret great political incidences and occurrences in the light of the principles here... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 38:14-23

Human malice a contribution to God's glory. God has a variety of methods for dealing with rebellious men. Sometimes he allows them to have their willful way up to the margin of success, when suddenly the tables are turned, and apparent success becomes conspicuous defeat. With vain confidence they press on their daring measures, and are led, as it were, into an ambush and completely destroyed. Thus God dealt with Pharaoh at the Red Sea, and thus he purposes to deal with the unscrupulous... read more
