Ezekiel 38:9

Ezekiel 38:9

Thou shall ascend and come like a storm
That comes suddenly, looks black and terrible, and causes darkness and horror; makes a great noise, and is very threatening of danger; signifying, that the Turks will come into the land of Judea suddenly to surprise it, and with great wrath and fury, and threaten them with utter destruction; so the king of the north is said to come like a whirlwind, which many interpret of the Turk also, ( Daniel 11:40 ) : thou shalt be like a cloud to cover the land;
with darkness and distress; suggesting the vast number of his army, which should overspread the land of Judea, as it follows: thou and all thy bands, and many people with thee;
his own army should be very numerous, and this increased by his confederates, or such who will voluntarily join him in this expedition.
