Ezekiel 38:14 - Forerunner Commentary

Ezekiel 38:14

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?

15 ^aThen you will come from your place out of the far north, you and many peoples with you, all of them riding on horses, a great company and a mighty army.

16 You will come up against My people Israel like a cloud, to cover the land. It will be in the latter days that I will bring you against My land, so that the nations may ^aknow Me, when I am ^bhallowed in you, O Gog, before their eyes.”
