Ezequiel 38:22

Ezequiel 38:22 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 38:22

And I will plead against him with pestilence and with blood,
&c.] Not only the sword of the Jews and the sword of Christian princes shall be drawn against him, and the sword of Gog's soldiers against one another; but the Lord himself would plead with him by his judgments, or take vengeance on him, as the Targum; and send a pestilence in his army, which should destroy vast numbers of it; as the army of Sennacherib was destroyed by one when before Jerusalem; and make a great slaughter among them by that and other judgments: and I will rain upon him, and upon his bands, and upon the many people
that are with him, an overflowing rain;
a horrible tempest of divine wrath, ( Psalms 11:6 ) as he came into the land of Israel like a storm, so he shall be destroyed by one much more terrible: and great hailstones;
such as were cast upon the Canaanites, ( Joshua 10:11 ) and as there will be on men, the enemies of the church of God, at the pouring out of the seventh vial, ( Revelation 16:21 ) : fire and brimstone;
as God rained upon Sodom and Gomorrah, ( Genesis 19:24 ) , signifying that in like manner will God deal with those enemies of his people; so at the battle of Armageddon, which seems to be the same with this here, the beast and the false prophet will be taken alive, and cast into a lake of fire burning with brimstone, ( Revelation 19:20 ) , and to this rain or tempest of fire and brimstone upon Gog there is an allusion in ( Revelation 20:9 ) .

Ezequiel 38:22 In-Context

20 Os peixes do mar, as aves do céu, os animais do campo, toda criatura que rasteja pelo chão e todas as pessoas da face da terra tremerão diante da minha presença. Os montes serão postos abaixo, os penhascos se desmoronarão e todos os muros cairão.

21 Convocarei a espada contra Gogue em todos os meus montes. Palavra do Soberano, o SENHOR. A espada de cada um será contra o seu irmão.

22 Executarei juízo sobre ele com peste e derramamento de sangue; desabarei torrentes de chuva, saraiva e enxofre ardente sobre ele e sobre as suas tropas e sobre as muitas nações que estarão com ele.

23 E assim mostrarei a minha grandeza e a minha santidade, e me farei conhecido de muitas nações. Então eles saberão que eu sou o SENHOR.
