Ezekiel 38:1ESV·traditional attribution

The word of the LORD came to me:

Matthew Henry Presbyterian

God puts hooks in His enemy's jaws before the trouble even comes, so His people need not be frightened. He foresees those who will attack His church and declares Himself against them, yet turns even their wrath to His praise and the glory of His own name.

John Gill Reformed Baptist

The Lord speaks to me at the same moment as the prior vision, signaling what follows: after the Jews are restored, gathered under the Messiah, and settled in their land, a mighty foreign power will rise to trouble them. This prophecy foretells that disturbance.

Keil & Delitzsch Lutheran

Gog from the distant north will invade restored Israel by God's appointment in the last times with vast allied armies, intending to plunder a secure people so the Lord may sanctify Himself before all nations. God will destroy him utterly, and the land will be cleansed through seven years of burning weapons and seven months of burial.
