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.”

17 Thus says the Lord God: “Are you he of whom I have spoken in former days by My servants the prophets of Israel, who prophesied for years in those days that I would bring you against them?

Judgment on Gog

18 “And it will come to pass at the same time, when Gog comes against the land of Israel,” says the Lord God, “that My fury will show in My face.

19 For ^ain My jealousy ^band in the fire of My wrath I have spoken: ^c‘Surely in that day there shall be a great¹ earthquake in the land of Israel,

20 so that ^athe fish of the sea, the birds of the heavens, the beasts of the field, all creeping things that creep on the earth, and all men who are on the face of the earth shall shake at My presence. ^bThe mountains shall be thrown down, the steep places shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground.’
