Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Whole Bible
back to:
Ezekiel
Book: Ezekiel
Chapter: 38
Overview:
The
Army and malice of
Gog.
(1-13) God's judgments.
(14-23)
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.
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.
