Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Ezekiel 39:23-29

This is the conclusion of the whole matter going before, and has reference not only to the predictions concerning Gog and Magog, but to all the prophecies of this book concerning the captivity of the house of Israel, and then concerning their restoration and return out of their captivity. I. God will let the heathen know the meaning of his people's troubles, and rectify the mistake of those concerning them who took occasion from the troubles of Israel to reproach the God of Israel, as unable... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 39:28

Then shall they know that I am the Lord their God ,.... See Gill on Ezekiel 39:22 ; which caused them to be led into captivity among the Heathen ; for their sins and transgressions: and so the Targum adds, "because they sinned before me:' but I have gathered them into their own land ; being now penitent for their sins, and believing in the Messiah: and so the Targum, "and now, because they are converted, I have gathered them, &c.;' and have left none of them any more... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 39:28

And have left none of then any more there - All that chose had liberty to return; but many remained behind. This promise may therefore refer to a greater restoration, when not a Jew shall be left behind. This, the next verse intimates, will be in the Gospel dispensation. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 39:21-29

God's revelation of himself a fount of blessing. Ignorance of God and strength of animal appetite are the two primal founts of ungodliness. Animal appetite is, in order of time, the first source of vice; but as the understanding opens to receive knowledge, this source of evil may be checked. To this end God deigns to make himself known. A clear vision of God is a strong antidote to evil propensity. Faith in God is the great regenerative principle. Therefore, through the procession of the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 39:21-29

God his own Interpreter. The final result of this great conflict between Gog and the people of Jehovah will prove to be that God's Name is hallowed as it never was before. There had been great misconstruction of his ways and mistake as to his purpose, but all should be made clear. I. GOD MUCH MISUNDERSTOOD . How seriously and sadly God has been and is misunderstood is seen in the facts that II. GOD IMPERFECTLY EXPLAINED . Many, indeed, have been the interpreters who... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 39:25-29

This section Hengstenberg regards as the close of the whole system of prophecies of a predominantly comforting character from Ezekiel 33:21 onwards;" Keil views it as the proper conclusion to the prophecy concerning Gog and the series of predictions from Ezekiel 35:1 onwards. It is in substance a recapitulation of God's gracious promise to bring again the captivity of Israel, of which the prophet had just been reminded in verse 23, and to which accordingly he now in thought goes back. It... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 39:25-29

The glorious restoration. I. THE PEOPLE WHO ENJOY IT . 1. The people of God . This is promised for the Jews, the ancient people of God. God does not forget his people in their captivity any more than he forgot them in their Egyptian bondage. Now, we know that God regards the whole human race as one family ( Acts 17:26 ). Though many reject him and many know him not, he cares for all. As all belong by right to their heavenly Father, so the perfect restoration in... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 39:25-29

Israel's restoration a proof of Divine mercy. The reader of this passage cannot but be impressed with the conviction that it has reference, not only to Israel, but to the redeemed race of man. His interest in it is not merely historical; it is personal and moral. There is a largeness, a fullness, in the promises given, which can scarcely be exhausted by the immediate reference to the return from the Oriental captivity. I. DELIVERANCE AND RESTORATION ARE WROUGHT BY THE ... read more
