Ezekiel 38:3 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 38:3

And say, thus saith the Lord God, behold, I am against thee, O
Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal.
] Which is repeated for the confirmation of it, that so it would certainly be; that the Lord, the mighty God, and King of kings, would in his providence frown upon him, and appear against him; and his titles are repeated also, to show that all his greatness, grandeur, and power, would not protect him from the vengeance of God.
