Adam Clarke's Bible Commentary Verse 2. Set me upon a very high mountain] Mount Moriah, the mount on which Solomon's temple was built, 2 Chron. iii. 1.
Matthew Henry Commentary
- The army and malice of Gog. (Ezek. 38:1-13) God's judgments. (Ezek 38:14-23)
Ezek. 38:1-13 These events will be in the latter days. It is suppose these enemies will come together to invade the land of Judea, and God will defeat them. God not only sees who are now the enemies of his church, but he foresees who will be so, and lets them know by his wor that he is against them; though they join together, the wicked shal not be unpunished.
Ezek. 38:14-23 The enemy should make a formidable descent upon the lan of Israel. When Israel dwell safely under the Divine protection, shal not thou be made to know it by finding that endeavours to destroy the are made in vain? Promises of security are treasured up in the word of God, against the troubles and dangers the church may be brought into in the latter days. In the destruction of sinners, God makes it appea that he is a great and holy God. We should desire and pray daily Father, glorify thine own name _________________________________________________
