Ezekiel 38:19 NIV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Ezekiel 38:14-23

This latter part of the chapter is a repetition of the former; the dream is doubled, for the thing is certain and to be very carefully regarded. I. It is here again foretold that this spiteful enemy should make a formidable descent upon the land of Israel (Ezek. 38:15): ?Thou shalt come out of the north parts (Syria lay on the north of Canaan) with a mighty army, shalt come like a cloud, and cover the land of my people Israel,? Ezek. 38:16. These words (Ezek. 38:14), When my people Israel... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 38:19

For in my jealousy, and in the fire of my wrath, have I spoken ,.... Not against his people Israel, but against Gog, who had thought evil against them, and now was about to put it in practice; and therefore in zeal for his own glory, and for the good of his people, and in indignation against his and their enemies, he declares, resolves, and determines: surely in that day there shall be a great shaking in the land of Israel ; not a consternation among the people of Israel frightened at... 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

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 38:18-20

Ezekiel 38:18 and Ezekiel 38:19 are not, as Hitzig, Kliefoth, and others explain, on the ground of the perfect, "I have spoken" ( Ezekiel 38:19 ), which, however, is rather a prophetical present—a free recapitulation of the earlier predictions, but a direct announcement through Ezekiel that when Gog should arrive upon the scene Jehovah should take the field against him, so that he should have to fight against Jehovah rather than against Israel. The expression, my fury shall come up in... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 38:19-20

An earthquake. In the day of God's jealousy and wrath there is to be a great shaking of sea, air, and land, so that the very fishes and birds, as well as the beasts of the earth, will feel its shock. I. AN EARTHQUAKE MAY OCCUR . There were once two opposed schools of geology—one believing that our earth had reached its present condition after successive violent catastrophes had wrought great and sudden changes on its surface; the other holding that the most striking results... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Ezekiel 38:18-20

Ezekiel 38:18-20. My fury shall come up in my face An expression taken from human passions, which cause the blood to fly up into the face. So Isaiah describes Almighty God as burning with anger, his lips being full of indignation, and his tongue as a consuming fire, Ezekiel 22:31, where see the note. For in my jealousy My zeal for the salvation and happiness of my people, and for my own glory; have I spoken Against my enemy Gog, and his herd. Surely in that day there shall be a... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 38:1-23

Invasion by the armies of Gog (38:1-23)To the Jews of Ezekiel’s day, the nations referred to here would represent the most distant regions of the world - ‘the four corners of the earth’. They are led by a man called Gog, who lives to the north in the land of Magog and who is ruler of the joint kingdom of Meshech-Tubal (38:1-3). He will lead an attack on Israel and will be helped by other countries from the east (Persia), from the south (Cush and Put, meaning probably Ethiopia and Libya), and... read more
