에스겔 38:4-7 KRV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Ezekiel 38:1-13

The critical expositors have enough to do here to enquire out Gog and Magog. We cannot pretend either to add to their observations or to determine their controversies. Gog seems to be the king and Magog the kingdom; so that Gog and Magog are like Pharaoh and the Egyptians. Some think they find them afar off, in Scythia, Tartary, and Russia. Others think they find them nearer the land of Israel, in Syria, and Asia the Less. Ezekiel is appointed to prophesy against Gog, and to tell him that God... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 38:4

And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws ,.... Or, I will put hooks in thy jaws, and with them turn thee back; or rather, "turn thee about" F6 שובבתיך "circumducam te", Piscator; "circumagam te", Grotius. ; and lead thee where and as I please; for this is not to be understood of God's putting hooks into his jaws, and leading him back from his enterprise of invading the land of Judea; as he put a hook in the nose and a bridle in the lips of the king of Assyria, and... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 38:5

Persia, Ethiopia, and Lybia with them ,.... These are the confederates or auxiliaries of the Turks, which shall join with them in this expedition. Persia is a neighbouring kingdom to the Turks, and may fall into their hands before this comes to pass; and is in a fair way for it at this time, through the internal divisions in it; however, it will be confederate with them. Ethiopia or Cush does not design the country of the Abyssines in the dominions of the Great Mogul, but Arabia Chusea,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 38:6

Gomer, and all his bands ,.... Or all his army, as the Targum. Gomer was the eldest son of Japheth, Genesis 10:2 , from whom descended the people called by the Greeks Galatians, or Galio-Grecians, as Josephus F9 Antiqu. l. 1. c. 6. sect. 1. says, who before were from him called Gomarians: others think that Phrygia, and the inhabitants of it, are meant; but, whether one or the other, they were both people of the lesser Asia, which is now in the hands of the Turks: the house of... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 38:7

Be thou prepared, and prepare for thyself ,.... All warlike stores and provisions: this is ironically said; and suggests that he would do so, and yet all would be in vain, and to no purpose: thou and all thy company, that are assembled unto thee ; or all thine armies, as the Targum, gathered out of his dominions, and made up of his auxiliaries and allies; let them all be furnished with arms, and everything proper for the expedition designed: and be thou a guard unto them ; the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 38:1-4

Gog and Magog. If we take these names as representing the Scythians and their king, we have a description of God's judgment of the most wild and remote heathen tribes and of their relation to Israel. I. THE BIBLE IS FOR ALL NATIONS . It contains a message even for Gog and Magog—it is intended to reach the Scythians. It has to do with all people in the world. The Hebrew prophet was not permitted to narrow his thoughts to the parochial mind; His vision was world-wide. A Jew... read more
