Ezekiel 39
Concise Complete
The destruction of Gog. (1-10) Its extent. (11-22)
Israel again favoured. (23-29)
Verses 1-10 The
Lord will make the most careless and hardened transgressors know his holy name,
either by his righteous anger, or by the riches of his mercy and grace. The
weapons formed against Zion shall not prosper. Though this prophecy is to be
fulfilled in the latter days, it is certain. From the language used, it seems
that the army of Gog will be destroyed by miracle.
Verses 11-22
How numerous the enemies which God destroyed for the defence of his people
Israel! Times of great deliverances should be times of reformation. Every one
should help the utmost he can, toward cleansing the land from reproach. Sin is
an enemy every man should strive against. Those engaged in public work,
especially of cleansing and reforming a land, ought to be men who will go
through with what they undertake, who will be always employed. When good work is
to be done, every one should further it. Having received special favours from
God, let us cleanse ourselves from all evil. It is a work which will require
persevering diligence, that search may be made into the secret recesses of sin.
The judgments of the Lord, brought upon sin and sinners, are a sacrifice to the
justice of God, and a feast to the faith and hope of God's people. See how evil
pursues sinners, even after death. After all that ambitious and covetous men do
and look for, "a place of graves" is all the Lord gives them on earth, while
their guilty souls are doomed to misery in another world.
Verses 23-29
When the Lord shall have mercy on the whole house of Israel, by converting them
to Christianity, and when they shall have borne the shame of being cast off for
their sins, then the nations shall learn to know, worship, and serve him. Then
Israel also shall know the Lord, as revealed in and by Christ. Past events do
not answer to these predictions. The pouring out of the Spirit is a pledge that
God's favour will continue. He will hide his face no more from those on whom he
has poured out his Spirit. When we pray that God would never cast us from his
presence, we must as earnestly pray that, in order thereto, he would never take
his Holy Spirit from us.
