Ezekiel 39:20 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 39:20

Thus shall ye be filled at my table with horses and chariots,
&c.] With the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, as John interprets it, ( Revelation 19:18 ) , and so the Septuagint, Syriac, and Arabic versions: and with the flesh of men that ride in chariots used in war; for chariots themselves cannot be eaten; and with these the birds and beasts of prey will be filled at the Lord's table, which he will furnish for them on the mountains of Israel, on the field of battle, where Gog and his army will fall: and thus as the Lord's supper is called the table of the Lord, ( 1 Corinthians 10:21 ) , so this table of the Lord is called the supper of the great God, ( Revelation 19:17 ) , this is further explained, with mighty men, and with all men of war, saith the Lord God;
that is, with the flesh of valiant men, generals, captains, officers of all sorts, and common soldiers, even of all men, great and small, bond and free, ( Revelation 19:18 ) .

20 At My table you will eat your fill of horses and riders, of mighty men and all the warriors." [This is] the declaration of the Lord God .
21 "I will display My glory among the nations, and all the nations will see the judgment I have executed and the hand I have laid on them.
22 From that day forward the house of Israel will know that I am the Lord their God.
