Ezekiel 38:7

5 Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya are with them, all of them with shield and helmet;

6 ^aGomer and all its troops; the house of ^bTogarmah from the far north and all its troops—many people are with you.

7 ^a“Prepare yourself and be ready, you and all your companies that are gathered about you; and be a guard for them.

8 ^aAfter many days ^byou will be visited. In the latter years you will come into the land of those brought back from the sword ^cand gathered from many people on ^dthe mountains of Israel, which had long been desolate; they were brought out of the nations, and now all of them ^edwell safely.

9 You will ascend, coming ^alike a storm, covering the ^bland like a cloud, you and all your troops and many peoples with you.”

Ezekiel 38:1-23

The army and malice of Gog. (1-13) God's judgments. (14-23)

Verses 1-13 These events will be in the latter days. It is supposed these enemies will come together to invade the land of Judea, and God will defeat them. God not only sees who are now the enemies of his church, but he foresees who will be so, and lets them know by his word that he is against them; though they join together, the wicked shall not be unpunished.

Verses 14-23 The enemy should make a formidable descent upon the land of Israel. When Israel dwell safely under the Divine protection, shalt not thou be made to know it by finding that endeavours to destroy them are made in vain? Promises of security are treasured up in the word of God, against the troubles and dangers the church may be brought into in the latter days. In the destruction of sinners, God makes it appear that he is a great and holy God. We should desire and pray daily. Father, glorify thine own name.
