Ezekiel 39:1 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 39:1

Therefore, thou son of man, prophesy against Gog
As he had been ordered to do before, and must still continue to do it: behold, I am against thee, O Gog;
which is repeated for the confirmation of it, and to inject terror into him; for terrible it is to have God against any: the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal; (See Gill on Ezekiel 38:2), the Septuagint version adds "Ros" here as there.

Ezekiel 39:1 In-Context

1 "And you, son of man, prophesy against Gog and say, Thus says the Lord GOD: Behold, I am against you, O Gog, chief prince of Meshech and Tubal.

2 And I will turn you about and drive you forward, and bring you up from the uttermost parts of the north, and lead you against the mountains of Israel.

3 Then I will strike your bow from your left hand, and will make your arrows drop out of your right hand.

4 You shall fall on the mountains of Israel, you and all your hordes and the peoples who are with you. I will give you to birds of prey of every sort and to the beasts of the field to be devoured.

5 You shall fall in the open field, for I have spoken, declares the Lord GOD.
