Ezekiel 39:2 - Forerunner Commentary

Ezekiel 39:2

Gog’s Armies Destroyed

1 “And ^ayou, son of man, prophesy against Gog, and say, ‘Thus says the Lord God: “Behold, I am against you, O Gog,¹ the prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal;

2 and I will ^aturn you around and lead you on, ^bbringing you up from the far north, and bring you against the mountains of Israel.

3 Then I will knock the bow out of your left hand, and cause the arrows to fall out of your right hand.

4 ^aYou shall fall upon the mountains of Israel, you and all your troops and the peoples who are with you; ^bI will give you to birds of prey of every sort and to the beasts of the field to be devoured.

5 You shall fall on the open field; for I have spoken,” says the Lord God.

6 ^a“And I will send fire on Magog and on those who live in security in ^bthe coastlands. Then they shall know that I am the Lord.

7 ^aSo I will make My holy name known in the midst of My people Israel, and I will not let them ^bprofane My holy name anymore. ^cThen the nations shall know that I am the Lord, the Holy One in Israel.

8 ^aSurely it is coming, and it shall be done,” says the Lord God. “This is the day ^bof which I have spoken.

9 “Then those who dwell in the cities of Israel will go out and set on fire and burn the weapons, both the shields and bucklers, the bows and arrows, the¹ javelins and spears; and they will make fires with them for seven years.

10 They will not take wood from the field nor cut down any from the forests, because they will make fires with the weapons; ^aand they will plunder those who plundered them, and pillage those who pillaged them,” says the Lord God.

The Burial of Gog

11 “It will come to pass in that day that I will give Gog a burial place there in Israel, the valley of those who pass by east of the sea; and it will obstruct travelers, because there they will bury Gog and all his multitude. Therefore they will call it the Valley of¹ Hamon Gog.

12 For seven months the house of Israel will be burying them, ^ain order to cleanse the land.
