You will come from your place out of the uttermost parts of the north, you and many peoples with you, all of them riding on horses, a great host, a mighty army.
The dream is doubled because the thing is certain and demands careful regard. God lets men know of Israel's security, their easy prey, their careless rest, yet He knows they will misuse that knowledge for their own ruin; their safety is real, grounded in His protection, and no weapon formed against them shall prosper.

Commenting on Ezekiel 38:14-23
This invasion comes in the Gospel age when the Jews return to their land, and God brings Gog against them not to destroy Israel but to destroy Gog himself. When the Lord executes judgment on these enemies, the pagan kingdoms will see His power and holiness displayed and will know that He alone is God, that Jesus is the Messiah, and that the Christian faith is true.
AI summary
Gog devises an evil design and brings guilt upon himself, though God Himself leads him forward to destruction. His own avarice and lust for plunder kindle the very thoughts that condemn him, that the nations may know the Lord when He sanctifies Himself upon Gog before their eyes.
