Ezekiel 39:8 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 39:8

Behold, it is come, and it is done, saith the Lord God
That is, the salvation of his people, and the destruction of their enemies; the prophecy concerning all this is come to pass, and the whole is accomplished; thus, because of the certainty thereof, it is represented as if the time was actually come, and the thing was really done; for the event is as sure as if it was now fulfilled: this is the day whereof I have spoken;
by the Prophet Ezekiel and others; (See Gill on Ezekiel 38:17).

Ezekiel 39:8 In-Context

6 And I will send a fire on Magog, and among those that dwell securely in the isles: and they shall know that I am the LORD.

7 So I will make my holy name known in the midst of my people Israel; and I will not let them pollute my holy name any more; and the Gentiles shall know that I am the LORD, Holy in Israel.

8 Behold, it is come, and it is over, said the Lord GOD; this is the day of which I have spoken.

9 And those that dwell in the cities of Israel shall go forth and shall set on fire and burn weapons, and shields and bucklers, bows and arrows, and handstaves, and spears, and they shall burn them in the fire for seven years:

10 so that they shall take no wood out of the field, neither cut down any out of the forests; for they shall burn the weapons in the fire; and they shall spoil those that spoiled them and rob those that robbed them, said the Lord GOD.
