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, mortal, prophesy against Gog, and say: Thus says the Lord God: I am against you, O Gog, chief prince of Meshech and Tubal!
2 I will turn you around and drive you forward, and bring you up from the remotest parts of the north, and lead you against the mountains of Israel.
3 I will strike your bow from your left hand, and will make your arrows drop out of your right hand.
4 You shall fall upon the mountains of Israel, you and all your troops and the peoples that are with you; I will give you to birds of prey of every kind and to the wild animals to be devoured.
5 You shall fall in the open field; for I have spoken, says the Lord God.
