Gill's Notes on the Bible
And the word of the Lord came unto me,.... At the same time as the preceding prophecy did, as the copulative and shows; which predicts the restoration and conversion of the Jews; the union of their tribes under the King Messiah; and their settlement in their own land: and this respects some disturbance they should meet with upon it, for a short time, by a powerful enemy hereafter described:
saying; as follows:
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The last conflict of the world with God, and the complete overthrow of the former. This section Eze. 38â39 refers to times subsequent to the restoration of Israel. As the Church (the true Israel) waxes stronger and stronger, more distant nations will come into collision and must be overthrown before the triumph is complete. Some have thought that this prophecy is directed against the Scythians who had possession of Asia twenty-three years, and in the course of this time had overrun Syria, and had probably made their appearance in the holy land. But in this prophecy there is little distinctive of one nation. It is a gathering together of the enemies of Yahweh to make their last effort, and to be overthrown. The seer passes to the final struggle between Good and Evil, and the triumphant establishment of the divine rule. It is the same struggle which is depicted in the Book of Revelation Ezekiel 20:7-10, where John adopts words and phrases of Ezekiel.
There are four main divisions of this prophecy:
(1) Ezekiel 38:1-13, describing Gogâs march;
(2) Ezekiel 38:14-23, describing his punishment;
(3) Ezekiel 39:1-16, describing his ruin;
(4) Ezekiel 39:17-29, the issue of Gogâs ruin in Israelâs redemption and sanctification.
Each division is broken up like a poem into stanzas.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
CHAPTER XXXVIII
The sublime prophecy contained in this and the following
chapter relates to Israel's victory over Gog, and is very
obscure. It begins with representing a prodigious armarnent of
many nations combined together under the conduct of Gog, with
the intention of overwhelming the Jews, after having been for
some time resettled in their land subsequent to their return
from the Babylonish captivity, 1-9.
These enemies are farther represented as making themselves sure
of the spoil, 10-13.
But in this critical conjuncture when Israel, to all human
appearance, was about to be swallowed up by her enemies, God
most graciously appears, to execute by terrible judgments the
vengeance threatened against these formidable adversaries of
his people, 14-16.
The prophet, in terms borrowed from human passions, describes,
with awful emphasis, the fury of Jehovah as coming up to his
face; and the effects of it so dreadful, as to make all the
animate and inanimate creation tremble, and even to convulse
with terror the whole frame of nature, 17-23.
