Ezekiel 38:8 - Forerunner Commentary

Ezekiel 38:8

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.”

10 ‘Thus says the Lord God: “On that day it shall come to pass that thoughts will arise in your mind, and you will make an evil plan:

11 You will say, ‘I will go up against a land of ^aunwalled villages; I will ^bgo to a peaceful people, ^cwho dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates’—

12 to take plunder and to take booty, to stretch out your hand against the waste places that are again inhabited, ^aand against a people gathered from the nations, who have acquired livestock and goods, who dwell in the midst of the land.

13 ^aSheba, ^bDedan, the merchants ^cof Tarshish, and all ^dtheir young lions will say to you, ‘Have you come to take plunder? Have you gathered your army to take booty, to carry away silver and gold, to take away livestock and goods, to take great plunder?’ ” ’

14 “Therefore, son of man, prophesy and say to Gog, ‘Thus says the Lord God: ^a“On that day when My people Israel ^bdwell safely, will you not know it?
