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 "Therefore, thou son of man, prophesy against Gog and say, `Thus saith the Lord GOD: Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal.

2 And I will turn thee back and leave but a sixth part of thee, and will cause thee to come up from the north parts and will bring thee upon the mountains of Israel;

3 and I will smite thy bow out of thy left hand, and will cause thine arrows to fall out of thy right hand.

4 Thou shalt fall upon the mountains of Israel, thou and all thy forces and the people that are with thee. I will give thee unto the ravenous birds of every sort and to the beasts of the field to be devoured.

5 Thou shalt fall upon the open field, for I have spoken it, saith the Lord GOD.
